The effects of simulation-based education on undergraduate nursing students' competences: a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Background: Education in nursing has noticed a positive effect of simulation-based education. There are many studies available on the effects of simulation-based education, but most of those involve a single institution, nonrandomized controlled trials, small sample sizes and subjective evaluations of the effects. The purpose of this multicenter randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effects of high-fidelity simulation, computer-based simulation, high-fidelity simulation combined with computer-based simulation, and case study on undergraduate nursing students.

Association between the sarcopenia-related traits and Parkinson's disease: A bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study.

Objective: To explore the causal association between sarcopenia-related traits and Parkinson's disease by Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Methods: A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of sarcopenia-related traits was done at the UK Biobank (UKB). The traits were appendicular lean mass, low hand grip strength (including the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People (EWGSOP) and the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH) criteria and usual walking pace.
