results there was a negative significant relationship between moral sensitivity and moral distress frequency; there was a positive significant relationship between moral sensitivity and moral distress intensity. participating in medical ethics courses increased moral sensitivity and decreased the frequency of moral distress. conclusions participating in medical ethics courses increased moral se...

Proposed molecular classifiers may be overfit to idiosyncrasies of noisy genomic and proteomic data. Cross-validation methods are often used to obtain estimates of classification accuracy, but both simulations and case studies suggest that, when inappropriate methods are used, bias may ensue. Bias can be bypassed and generalizability can be tested by external (independent) validation. We evalua...

Tree nut allergies are some of the most common and serious allergies in the United States. Patients who are sensitive to nuts or to seeds commonly called nuts are advised to avoid consuming a variety of different species, even though these may be distantly related in terms of their evolutionary history. This is because studies in the literature report that patients often display sensitivity to ...

objective: the purpose of this study was to compare the use of cross-sectional imaging techniques verses surgery in locating parotid masses. material and methods: our study was performed on patients assumed to have parotid masses from dec 2010 to dec 2011. before surgery, imaging studies (computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging) of parotid were done. after surgery, we compared the su...

This paper focuses on the robust mixed H2/H∞ observer design problem for removal of NOx sensor ammonia cross-sensitivity in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems. Due to the ammonia cross-sensitivity, the reading of the NOx sensor is contaminated severely. In order to utilize the concentration of the NOx in the downstream tailpipe, it is desired to design an observer to estimate the actua...

nurses are often faced with serious situations that require high levels of legal and ethical knowledge, and should therefore be sensitive to the moral issues in their profession in the decision making process. some studies have investigated nurses’ moral self-concept as an effective factor in moral sensitivity, but there is not sufficient evidence to support this. the purpose of this study was ...
