Socioeconomic factors and test preparation strategies are related to success on the USMLE Step 2 clinical knowledge (CK) exam: a single-institution study.

Background: Since the elimination of numerical scoring of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step 1, the perceived importance of USMLE Step 2 Clinical Knowledge (CK) scores in residency placement has increased. It is known that socioeconomic status (SES) and other demographic factors can be barriers to success in standardized assessment, but few recent studies report the relationship between student demographics, including SES, with Step 2 CK scores in the context of exam practice material access and usage. In this study, we investigated predictors of Step 2 CK success across two years at one institution.

Article Synopsis
- A novel biochar, La/Fe@RSBC, created from rice shells, was studied for its ability to adsorb tetracycline (TC) from water, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 414.84 mg/g, significantly higher than other variants.
- The adsorption mechanisms for TC included hydrogen bonding, surface complexation, and electrostatic attraction, with the process being spontaneous and endothermic, influenced by factors like composition, pH, and temperature.
- La/Fe@RSBC showed potential for real-world applications in treating swine wastewater, and its effectiveness could be enhanced through a combined advanced oxidation process to regenerate the biochar after initial use.
Associations between Leisure and Work Time Activity Behavior and 24 H Ambulatory Blood Pressure among Aging Workers.

Purpose: The associations between work time, leisure-time, and non-workday physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) and 24 h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) are not well known. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the associations between domain-specific activity behavior and 24 h blood pressure.Methods: A hundred and fifty-six aging workers (mean age 62.

The industry of off-highway vehicles is one of the fields of major application of nodular cast irons, which guarantee the manufacture of complex geometries and ensure good mechanical properties. The present investigation deals with the fatigue design of off-highway axles made of EN-GJS-500-7. Typically, off-highway axles are weakened by stress risers which must be assessed against fatigue.

Examination of the urinary sediment (U-sed) is an important non-invasive, rapid, and inexpensive tool for the diagnosis and surveillance over time of renal diseases. In this Educational Review, we describe first how to collect, prepare, and examine urine samples in order to obtain reliable results. Then, we describe the U-sed findings in isolated microscopic hematuria, glomerular diseases, acute interstitial nephritis, acute kidney injury, reactivation of the BK virus in kidney transplant recipients, and crystalluric genetic diseases.
