TL;DR: To concurrently teach learners of different levels of training on a busy PC service, an educational system is created that emphasizes management of learner schedules, organization of teaching activities, faculty development to improve teaching skills, and learner self-evaluation.
Abstract: Interest and appreciation for palliative care (PC) has resulted in increased demand for both PC services and education. The PC rotation has been shown to improve PC knowledge in medical students (MS) and internal medicine (IM) residents, and PC specialists stand poised to direct the primary PC education of learners at different levels of training. To concurrently teach learners of different levels of training on a busy PC service, we created an educational system that emphasizes management of learner schedules, organization of teaching activities, faculty development to improve teaching skills, and learner self-evaluation. Both MS and IM residents showed an improvement in self-assessed competence as well as increased comfort level with seriously ill patients after PC rotation. Careful adjustment of learner schedules has accommodated an increasing number of learners, while maintaining a low learner to faculty ratio. The PC educators face an exciting and daunting challenge as the number of patients with PC needs and the number of learners requesting PC experience grow. We continue to improve milestone-based PC assessment tools, to invest in faculty development, and to explore innovative ways to support PC educators as they strive to provide consistent PC education that is both useful for learners and can be incorporated into busy PC clinical practice.

TL;DR: The patient underwent surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy targeting both the primitive neuroectodermal tumor and glioblastoma multiforme, and has been fortunate in not showing any sign of recurrence.
Abstract: We report a rare case of a central nervous system collision tumor in a 40-year-old woman. Histopathological examination of her large temporal tumor revealed two different components making up the tumor tissue. The predominant component of the tumor was found to be a primitive neuroectodermal tumor. The other component was glioblastoma multiforme. Both of these tumors carry a poor prognosis, and primitive neuroectodermal tumors are extremely uncommon in adults. Central nervous system neoplasms with the combined features of both primitive neuroectodermal tumor and malignant glioma are very rare and represent a diagnostic and treatment predicament. The patient underwent surgical resection, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy targeting both the primitive neuroectodermal tumor and glioblastoma. Our patient has been fortunate in not showing any sign of recurrence and will celebrate the third anniversary since her diagnosis this January.

TL;DR: A short chain peptide is covalently attached to an evaporated gold electrode to form a biocompatible self-assembled monolayer (SAM) surface to optimize the interfacial interaction of horse heart cytochrome c through the electrostatic interaction of the carboxylate group on the terminal amino acid glutamate and the amine on lysine in cytc.

TL;DR: Gene delivery by retroviruses is an easy and safe tool to stably over express a gene of interest and determine its role in a cell model.
Abstract: Gene delivery by retroviruses is an easy and safe tool to stably over express a gene of interest and determine its role in a cell model. The gene of interest is cloned into the multiple cloning site of a retroviral vector that also contains a packaging signal and an antibiotic resistance marker for selection. Packaging cell lines, transfected with a retroviral vector containing the gene of interest or with a control vector, produce retroviral RNA packaged into infectious, replication incompetent virus. This is a consequence of the stable integration of the viral genes necessary for particle formation and replication into the packaging cell genome. Retrovirus-containing conditioned medium from packaging cells is used to transduce target cells. After antibiotic selection, the target cells are tested for overexpression of the gene of interest and its biological effects.

TL;DR: To assess whether the implementation of a package of activities through the joint action of the three international healthcare professionals associations (HCPAs) increased the use of intrapartum and postnatal essential interventions (EIs) in two hospitals in Uganda, a large number of EIs were used.
