TL;DR: The results indicate that stress exists for students in both the clinical and academic aspects of the programme, and financial constraints and academic-related concerns emerged as the most stressful areas for students.

TL;DR: It is unlikely that topography will supplant radiography for the ascertainment of Cobb angles, because the error margins of both are wide, and the two are not measuring the same aspect of the deformity.

TL;DR: The main objectives of this study were to assess the perceptions of patients immediately after their first myocardial infarction of their needs in a cardiac education programme and to compare these with their perceptions 6 weeks after the event and also with their nurse educators.

TL;DR: Students' views on nursing as a career and responses to factors that may cause stress were examined and revealed an association with reported absence behaviour, which occurred more frequently from lectures than wards.

TL;DR: Improvement in the reliability of the measurements can be achieved by careful technique, performing the measurements at least twice, and averaging them.
