J Vet Med Educ
January 2024
North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, 1060 William Moore Drive, Raleigh, NC 27607, USA.
Compared with traditional letter grading, pass/fail grading is an assessment approach that can alter the educational environment and enhance student wellbeing without compromising education quality. Little is known about the experiences of students during the transition from traditional grading to pass/fail grading. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in an abrupt move to modified pass-fail (MPF) grading at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine (NCSU-CVM), followed by a decision to permanently adopt MPF grading for the entire core pre-clinical doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) curriculum.

J Appl Lab Med
October 2024
Department of Laboratory Medicine, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the impact of different estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) equations on clinical outcomes in a Korean patient population, specifically looking at all-cause mortality, renal replacement therapy, and albuminuria.
- - Analyzing data from over 23,000 participants, the researchers found that the 2021 race-free CKD-EPI equation yielded better predictive results for clinical outcomes compared to older equations, especially when used alongside creatinine and cystatin C.
- - By switching from the 2012 CKD-EPI equation to the 2021 version, a significant number of patients were reclassified to lower risk categories for mortality and renal therapies, highlighting the improved accuracy of the updated equations.
