Prevalence of Students’ Misconceptions in Cardiovascular Physiology, and the Role of Taking Physiology Courses

Introduction: The cases of misconceptions are intellectual models of phenomena that are different from accepted scientific models of the same phenomena. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular misconceptions among students, and evaluate the role of cardiovascular physiology courses in eliminating them. Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 348 u...

A. PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY Advancing Knowledge and Capabilities to Understand Coral Physiology and Pathology

Signs abound in many areas that the natural plasticity of reef ecosystems to successfully respond to environmental (e.g., global climate change) and anthropogenic (e.g., land use, pollution) stressors has been exceeded. Vulnerable habitat conditions overlaid with multiple, concomitant stressors have compromised many coral communities to the point where their ability to rebound from natural dist...

Effects of Integrating Physiology Lessons to Clinical and Para-Clinical Findings on Medical Students' Attitude and Motivation toward Physiology Lesson

Introduction: Applicability of theoretical material in basic sciences courses of medicine discipline plays an important role in enhancing students' motivation and interest to the lessons. This study aimed to assess the effects of integrating physiology lessons to clinical and para-clinical findings on students' attitude and motivation toward physiology lesson. Methods: This pre-experimental s...
