Pilot Programs in Medical Research

An experiment in education for medical and English Honours students was conducted during the 1983 academic year. Eight evening seminars were held, at which literary pieces were presented and discussed. All had relevance to medicine. No quantitative results could be deduced, but the voluntary attenda …

Quantitative ultrasound estimates different intrinsic tissue properties, which can be used for tissue characterization. Among different tissue properties, the effective number of scatterers per resolution cell is an important parameter, which can be estimated by the echo envelope. Assuming the signa …

This intervention showed feasibility and acceptability using participant-generated goals as personalized points of communication for advanced cancer dyads. This model shows promise as a communication intervention for dyads in discussing and working towards individual and shared goals when facing lif …

Cosmetic products such as sunscreens may often be encountered in forensic investigations as traces left on tissue paper, apparels, drinkware, painted exterior, or various alternative surfaces. The pilot study aimed at efficiently using Infrared spectroscopy coupled with chemometrics to cater to unbi …

There is disagreement among nurses about the contribution of intentional rounding to patient care, particularly in light of the weak evidence base, time involved and associated documentation. Therefore, further research is needed in this area.

The clinical nurse leader (CNL) is a relatively new nursing role, introduced in 2003 through the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). A narrative review of the extant CNL literature was conducted with the aim of comprehensively summarizing the broad and methodologically diverse CNL ev …

Although it was not possible to acquire data from all the EU countries, this study shows the present state of electronic prescription in most of them and demonstrates continuous development in this area.

This tutorial will produce a measure that will dynamically calculate a percent change every time an item is selected in a visual.  The previous tutorial can be found here.  In the previous tutorial we calculated [...]

In this article, the authors describe the development and pilot testing of an electronic bedside communication center (eBCC) prototype to improve access to health information for hospitalized adults and their family caregivers. Focus groups were used to identify improvements for the initial eBCC pro …

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has been increasingly explored for many neurological and neuropsychiatric conditions. However, the response rate is variable depending on baseline conditions. Optimizing rTMS protocols to improve treatment effects and response rates will depend on …
