Background: In 1995, a score to measure the quality of private universities in Chile, using excellency indicators as predictors of autonomy certification, was devised by the author.
Aim: To compare this score with autonomy certification results of ensuing years, to assess the usefulness of excellency indicators.
Material And Methods: During 1995, the records of 21 private universities in Santiago were studied. These universities were qualified using eight indicators of academic excellency. These results were compared with the Superior Education Council qualification results, obtained between 1996 and 1998.
Results: The scores obtained by universities ranged from 19 and 137 points. Universities with the better scores obtained autonomy and those with the worst scores were eliminated. There was a good concordance between the score obtained in 1995 and the fate of autonomy certification.
Conclusion: The best predictors and indicators of academic excellency to certificate autonomy of private universities were the magnitude of indirect budget contributed by the state, the size of academic list of staff and the percentage of admitted students with scores over 573 in the national academic aptitude tests.

User trust is pivotal for the adoption of digital health systems interventions (DHI). In response, numerous trust-building guidelines have recently emerged targeting DHIs such as artificial intelligence. The common aim of these guidelines aimed at private sector actors and government policy makers is to build trustworthy DHI.

Disruption of hypothalamic melanocortin 4 receptors (MC4Rs) causes obesity in mice and humans. Here, we investigated the transcriptional regulation of in the hypothalamus. In mice, we show that the homeodomain transcription factor Orthopedia (OTP) is enriched in MC4R neurons in the paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of the hypothalamus and directly regulates transcription.

Early mother-infant interaction is believed to have a significant impact on the social, cognitive, and emotional development of children. These interactions are not only influenced by child and contextual factors but also by the mother's personality traits and strain. In this study, we investigated the relation between maternal factors such as personality, depressive symptoms, or experiencing of emotions, and (i) children's early cognitive development and (ii) interaction patterns in a sample of 116 mother-child dyads (mean child age = 18.

Background: Epistaxis is the most common acute disorder managed by ENT services. A 1998 survey (Strachan and England) demonstrated widespread ignorance of correct first aid amongst the public with only 11% of respondents applying correct first aid techniques. Here we repeated and expanded the 1998 study to investigate whether understanding of correct first aid in epistaxis amongst the public and emergency department staff has improved in the last 25 years.
