Beyond right or wrong: How partial credit scoring on multiple‐choice questions improves student performance and assessment perceptions

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims In this study, we examined the effects of assigning partial credit to selected answer choices on student performance and perceptions in a pharmacology course using Type A multiple‐choice questions (MCQs). Methods Partial credit scoring was incorporated into quizzes and exams in a 10‐week pharmacology course for postbaccalaureate premedical ...

More Relaxation by Deep Breath on Methacholine- Than on Exercise-Induced bronchoconstriction during the Routine Testing of Asthmatic Children

Frontiers in Physiology, 2017
Deep inspiration (DI) dilates normal airway precontracted with methacholine. The fact that this effect is diminished or absent in asthma could be explained by the presence of bronchial inflammation.

Fibroblast Plasticity in Inflammation of the Barrier

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
Under inflammatory condition, fibroblasts in barrier tissues integrate inflammatory, senescent, and mechanical inputs. These pathways activate central signaling networks to drive fibroblast phenotypic transition, enabling cytokine production, immune cell recruitment, and extracellular matrix remodeling.

Loss of bronchoprotection to Salbutamol during sputum induction with hypertonic saline: implications for asthma therapy

Allergy, Asthma & Clinical Immunology, 2018
Background Sputum induction with hypertonic saline in obstructive airway diseases is generally safe. However, saline induces bronchoconstriction in some patients despite pre-medication with Salbutamol. Our objectives were to investigate the predictors of

Exercise-Induced Bronchoconstriction in Children

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is a transient airflow obstruction, typically 5–15 min after physical activity. The pathophysiology of EIB is related to the thermal and osmotic changes of the bronchial mucosa, which cause the release of ...

Review of nutrition management of pediatric intestinal pseudo‐obstruction

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Chronic intestinal pseudo‐obstruction (CIPO) is a rare, heterogeneous, and debilitating disorder characterized by profound intestinal dysmotility and severe nutrition challenges. Its presentation resembles that of mechanical bowel obstruction, but CIPO occurs in the absence of luminal obstruction.

Novel Therapeutics for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: From Empirical Bronchodilation to Precision Medicine

Respirology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains the third leading cause of death worldwide, and conventional bronchodilator‐based therapies have limited efficacy in preventing exacerbations and disease progression. The 2024–2026 period represents a historic inflection point: three mechanistically distinct agents received Food and Drug ...
