Objective: To enable place-bound working clinical laboratory technicians (CLTs) to benefit from hands-on student laboratory sessions taught in University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) facilities by UTMB professors.
Design: Weekend student laboratory sessions similar to "wet workshops" were implemented and integrated into regular coursework. Student laboratory sessions of 12 hours to 16 hours in length were provided.
Setting: The UTMB student laboratories.
Participants: Web-based education in Clinical Laboratory Science (WEBCLS) students who are working CLTs in rural place-bound situations.
Main Outcome Measures: Course grades and certification examination scores on laboratory and comprehensive examinations given to both on-campus students and WEBCLS students.
Results: Of 68 WEBCLS students enrolled in laboratory courses during the calendar years 2003, 2004, and 2005, 66.2% earned grades of A or B in the course compared with 64.2% of students enrolled in the same laboratory courses on-campus. Over a three year period, the WEBCLS students averaged 564.8 on certification exam scores, while on-campus students averaged 470.9.

Introduction: In aviation, exceptional visual perception is crucial for pilots to monitor flight instruments and respond swiftly to deviations, as well as make rapid judgments regarding environmental changes, ensuring aviation safety. However, existing research on pilots' visual perception has predominantly focused on behavioral observations, with limited exploration of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the brain activity associated with the visual perception capabilities of flight cadets.

Background/objectives: Eating disorders, including food neophobia and restrictive eating behaviors, are pervasive among university students. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Nine-Item Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder Scale (NIAS), Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale (DOS), Night Eating Syndrome Questionnaire (NESQ), Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) among university students in China and Pakistan to assess reliability and validity and explore the relationships between eating behaviors and mental health.
Methods: Initially, responses from 1056 university students from China and Pakistan were obtained, which were reduced to 1002 after screening.
