Objective: The objective of the study was to describe our experience with the Objective Structured Clinical Exam during the third-year obstetrics/gynecology clerkship.
Study Design: Our 8-station Objective Structured Clinical Exam is described in detail. We analyzed grades from the Objective Structured Clinical Exam for overall distribution, comparing among and between groups by year and among exam sites and correlating with the National Board of Medical Examiners subject exam and the final clerkship grades.
Results: The Objective Structured Clinical Exam is provided at 3 sites, 1 at a technically advanced simulation center. Most students (54.6%) received a grade of A; however, the mean grade from the Objective Structured Clinical Exam at the simulation center (3.41 on a 4-point grade-point average scale) was lower than that at the clinic sites (3.60, P = .005; 3.73, P < .001). Effect of rotation order was identified only in the first year. Grades from the Objective Structured Clinical Exam were positively but weakly correlated with National Board of Medical Examiners subject exam and final clerkship grades.
Conclusion: An Objective Structured Clinical Exam in the obstetrics/gynecology clerkship can be administered with limited resources and provides a valuable assessment method.

In light of the Chinese government's dual carbon goals, achieving cleaner production activities has become a central focus, with regional environmental collaborative governance, including the management of agricultural carbon reduction, emerging as a mainstream approach. This study examines 268 prefecture-level cities in China, measuring the carbon emission efficiency of city agriculture from 2001 to 2022. By integrating social network analysis and a modified gravity model, the study reveals the characteristics of the spatial association network of city agricultural carbon emission efficiency in China.

Introduction: Insecticide-treated bed nets are often used as a physical barrier to prevent infection of malaria. In Sub-Saharan Africa, one of the most important ways of reducing the malaria burden is the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets. However, there is no sufficient information on the utilization of insecticide-treated bed nets and their associated factors in Ethiopia.

Parainfluenza virus 3 (PIV3) infection poses a substantial risk to vulnerable groups including infants, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals, and lacks effective treatments or vaccines. This study focuses on targeting the hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) protein, a structural glycoprotein of PIV3 critical for viral infection and egress. With the objective of targeting these activities of HN, we identified eight neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) with potent effects on viral neutralization, cell-cell fusion inhibition, and complement deposition.

Women experiencing homelessness constitute a group with idiosyncratic characteristics and needs that have largely remained invisible. Their discriminatory situation has been studied very little which may limit the design of specific intervention strategies. Buenos Aires (Argentina) is one of the main megalopolises in Latin America, where information on women experiencing homelessness is scarcely available.
