AI Article Synopsis
- The study compared student satisfaction with Case Method (Case) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) in medical education.
- Students in the eighth term rated both learning methods positively, while eleventh-term students favored Case more and found PBL less appealing.
- The results suggest that Case Method is more effective for developing clinical problem-solving skills in later stages of medical training.
Article Abstract
Background: The Case Method (Case) and Problem Based Learning (PBL) are two student active methods, increasingly used in medical education.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare medical student satisfaction with the two different active methods of learning and to see if there was any variation in preference between two stages in medical training.
Methods: A short questionnaire was given out to 254 students during the eighth and eleventh term of medical training. Answers were obtained from 221 students. The results were computer analysed.
Results: Students in the eighth term rated both methods high, while students in the eleventh term rated Case even higher while PBL decreased in popularity. Traditional lectures were given constant neutral rating. Case was rated better for problem solving.
Conclusions: It seems that Case is more suitable than PBL for the later stages of medical training when clinical problem-solving skills need to be honed.

Acting as the interface between the human body and its environment, clothing is indispensable in human thermoregulation and even survival under extreme environmental conditions. Development of clothing textiles with prolonged passive temperature-adaptive thermoregulation without external energy consumption is much needed for protection from thermal stress and energy saving, but very challenging. Here, a temperature-adaptive thermoregulation filament (TATF) consisting of thermoresponsive vacuum cavities formed by the temperature-responsive volume change of the material confined in the cellular cores of the filament is proposed.

Introduction: Identifying early risks of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a major challenge as the number of patients with AD steadily increases and requires innovative solutions. Current molecular diagnostic modalities, such as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) testing and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, exhibit limitations in their applicability for large-scale screening. In recent years, there has been a marked shift toward the development of blood plasma-based diagnostic tests, which offer a more accessible and clinically viable alternative for widespread use.

In populations of small effective size (N), such as those in conservation programmes, companion animals or livestock species, inbreeding control is essential. Homozygosity-by-descent (HBD) segments provide relevant information in that context, as they allow accurate estimation of the inbreeding coefficient, provide locus-specific information and their length is informative about the "age" of inbreeding. Our objective was to evaluate tools for predicting HBD in future offspring based on parental genotypes, a problem equivalent to identifying segments identical-by-descent (IBD) among the four parental chromosomes.

Modern sequencing technologies allow for the addition of short-sequence tags, known as anchors, to both ends of a captured molecule. Anchors are useful in assembling the full-length sequence of a captured molecule as they can be used to accurately determine the endpoints. One representative of such anchor-enabled technology is LoopSeq Solo, a synthetic long read (SLR) sequencing protocol.

For MR-Fingerprinting-like approaches, this problem can be addressed with self-navigated retrospective motion correction based on reconstructions in a singular value decomposition (SVD) subspace. However, the SVD promotes high signal intensity in all tissues, which limits the contrast between tissue types and ultimately reduces the accuracy of registration.
