Objective: This study examined differences in exam answer changing behavior among baccalaureate students based on program pace, semester in the program, exam scores, and grade point average.
Design: The study is a retrospective review of quantitative data.
Setting: The data was collected using standardized testing results taken by students at a private, liberal arts university in the midwestern United States.
Participants: 774 normed standardized nursing exams were reviewed retrospectively for number and type of answer changes and analyzed between traditional and accelerated baccalaureate students early, middle, and late in the curriculum.
Results: Most answer changes (50%) were beneficial to grades. Answer changing decreased late in the program. Students scoring higher changed fewer answers. Program pace and grade point average did not influence answer changing.
Conclusion: Answer changing should not be generally discouraged. Promoting adequate preparation and test taking skills may benefit nursing students, especially early in programs.

Study Question: What is the prevalence and trend of infertility among individuals of childbearing age at global, regional, and national levels by sex and socio-demographic index (SDI) across 21 regions and 204 countries and territories?
Summary Answer: Our findings reveal a growing prevalence of infertility among individuals aged 15-49 years worldwide from 1990 to 2021, with an expected continued increase through 2040.
What Is Known Already: Infertility is a persistent global reproductive health issue, leading to significant societal and health consequences. No study has specifically described the current prevalence of infertility, its secular trend, or the variations between regions or countries with different SDI levels.

Background: The immunoproteasome (IP) is the inducible form of the constitutive 20S proteasome upregulated in immune cells. The IP consists of 3 inducible β subunits (β1i - LMP2, β2i - MECL1, and β5i - LMP7), which generate MHC-I compatible peptides. IPs are induced by pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling, as well as oxidative stress signaling.

Background: Orientation in time, space, and person is often impaired in Alzheimer's disease dementia. Subtle changes in orientation may occur in prodromal and preclinical disease stages. Here we aim to assess the cross-sectional association between individuals' orientation to their own world, as measured with a novel AI-based paradigm, and Alzheimer's disease biomarkers (amyloid and tau) in cognitively unimpaired older adults.
