AIM To evaluate self-assessed level of clinical skills of graduating medical students at Zagreb University School of Medicine and compare them with clinical skill levels expected by their teachers and those defined by a criterion standard. METHOD The study included all medical students (n=252) graduating from the Zagreb University School of Medicine in the 2004-2005 academic year and faculty ...

Intracellular concentrations of cyclic AMP increase when cells are deprived of serum. Studies with the mouse fibroblast line 3T3, an SV40-transformed subline of 3T3, and six different revertant lines derived from this clone show that a marked increase in cyclic AMP occurs only when the serum concentration is reduced below the minimum necessary for growth of a given line. Conversely, density-dep...

This paper presents evidence of emerging waterfowl conservation practices and attitudes among certain groups of contemporary Yup’ik subsistence hunters in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta, a remote, wetlands dominated region of western Alaska crucial to several species of PaciŽc migratory birds. By examining what factors motivate hunters to follow restraint practices and evaluating how federal goose m...

Valence electronic excitation spectra are calculated for the H(2)O···Br(2) complex using highly correlated ab initio potentials for both the ground and the valence electronic excited states and a 2-D approximation for vibrational motion. Due to the strong interaction between the O-Br and the Br-Br stretching motions, inclusion of these vibrations is the minimum necessary for the spectrum calcul...

In many published articles, there is still no mention of quality control processes, which might be an indication of the insufficient importance the researchers attach to undertaking or reporting such processes. However, quality control of data is one of the most important steps in research projects. Lack of sufficient attention to quality control of data might have a detrimental effect on the r...

nursing manpower plays a key role in the quality of care and health promotion. so considering efficient and qualified nursing units is necessary for any health care organization without which they can’t survive long. this study was aimed to estimate the nursing manpower required by the imam khomeini and razi hospitals affiliated with jundishapur university of medical sciences in accordance with...

Most curricula for medical education have been integrated horizontally and vertically--vertically between basic and clinical sciences. The Flexnerian curriculum has disappeared to permit integration between basic sciences and clinical sciences, which are taught throughout the curriculum. We have proposed a different form of integration where the horizontal axis represents the defined learning o...
