In recent decades growing efforts in Western countries in integrating end-of-life care issues into undergraduate medical education have been conspicuous. However, studies in this field are limited in Turkey. We aimed, therefore, as a first step, to develop an attitude scale in order to obtain objective data regarding medical students' approaches to death and dying patients. After applying the scale on medical students and performing exploratory factor analysis, it was found out to be composed of a two-dimensional structure. Then the internal construct validity of these dimensions was subjected to Rasch analysis and the reliability of them was tested by internal consistency and person separation index. As a result of overall analyses, we suggest a new scale which is capable of making valid and reliable measurements.

The current study aims to determine how the interactions between practice (distributed/focused) and mental capacity (high/low) in the cloud-computing environment (CCE) affect the development of reproductive health skills and cognitive absorption. The study employed an experimental design, and it included a categorical variable for mental capacity (low/high) and an independent variable with two types of activities (distributed/focused). The research sample consisted of 240 students from the College of Science and College of Applied Medical Sciences at the University of Hail's.

Arrhythmias are among the diseases with high mortality rates worldwide, causing millions of deaths each year. This underscores the importance of real-time electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for timely heart disease diagnosis and intervention. Deep learning models, trained on ECG signals across twelve or more leads, are the predominant approach for automated arrhythmia detection in the AI-assisted medical field.

Background: Olaparib (OLA) and regorafenib (REG) are metabolized by the CYP3A4 isoenzyme of cytochrome P450. Both drugs are also substrates and inhibitors of the membrane transporters P-glycoprotein and BCRP. Therefore, the potential concomitant use of OLA and REG may result in clinically relevant drug-drug interactions.

Background: Internal ocular diseases, such as macular edema, uveitis, and diabetic macular edema require precise delivery of therapeutic agents to specific regions within the eye. However, the eye's complex anatomical structure and physiological barriers present significant challenges to drug penetration and distribution. Traditional eye drops suffer from low bioavailability primarily due to rapid clearance mechanisms.
