O11: Novel Approaches to Prevent Neuroinflammation by Targeting the Coagulation System

There is growing appreciation that other factors not traditionally considered components of the immune system foster inflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The blood coagulation initiating factor XII was introduced as key mediator of central nervous system (CNS) autoimmunity by modulation of adaptive immune response. Moreov...

Teaching statistics to medical undergraduates using interactive and participatory sessions

Mobile Devices in Interactive Lectures

In this article we investigate and compare the usefulness of different mobile, wireless devices for use in interactive classroom sessions. Conventional lectures, especially in large lecture halls, face fundamental didactic problems: There is a lack of interaction, it is difficult for the lecturer to deal with individual questions, and it is not easy to maintain a high level of attention. In ord...
