Study Methods Sample Clauses

Study Methods. Teaching Centres are provided with a detailed syllabus and reading list for each subject area. Each Unit Syllabus clearly defines the areas that you will be required to cover for each subject and your examination questions will be based on the areas and topics detailed for each unit. It is important to ensure that you obtain a copy of each unit syllabus from your Teaching Centre. Alternatively, this information can be obtained online at xxx.xxx.xxxxxxxxx, in the ‘Single Subject’ section. Each Unit Syllabus is normally linked to one main textbook and the examiners base their questions on the contents of the nominated core text. The Unit Syllabuses also give details of 'Alternative Texts' and texts recommended for further reading. It is advised that you should refer to the 'Alternative Texts' in order to develop your skills and broaden your knowledge of the subject area.

Study Methods. All available archeological literature and the records of the Alaska Heritage Resources Survey (AHRS) were reviewed to compile information about previously recorded archaeological and historical sites. Special status sites--properties which have been determined eligible for the National Register and which might be subject to visual impacts--were defined to focus consideration on properties having particular designations reflecting agency priorities for in- place preservation or public interpretation.

Study Methods. Introduction The purpose of this study was to explore to what extent current medical education at the Cumming School of Medicine at the University of Calgary focuses on Indigenous health, and to develop and suggest a framework incorporate Indigenous health into medical education.

Study Methods. Method 1: Preliminary focus groups Exploratory focus groups were conducted with the CAFA adolescent mothers to understand the experiences of pregnant teens and their exposure to sexual health education and parental communication before their pregnancies. Discussions with these participants served to better understand the appropriate age to target SRH education as well as to identify the issues that most influenced adolescent pregnancies, providing information on where to target prevention efforts.

Study Methods. The Institute on Human Values in Medicine (IHVM) conducted a variety of activities to support and promote the integration of humanities content into medical school curricula nationally. This study sought to identify, collect and exam original materials related to the organizational structure of the institute to ascertain how it performed its work and assess the outcomes of its activities in order to inform current, related efforts. Data was collected using a mixture of methods typical of an historical study: identification and examination of archival records from the three major library archives associated with the IHVM and several additional relevant sites; unstructured interviews were performed with experts having historical memory of IHVM; semi-­‐structured interviews with subjects directly impacted by IHVM interventions, such as trainees; collection of survey responses from schools receiving IHVM interventions; and the identification and analysis of publications and reports of the IHVM. The data extracted from these various methods and sources was used to understand the organizational structures, leadership and influence of IHVM’s activities on medical schools and legitimizing agencies of American medical education, such as the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and the Liaison Committee for Medical Education (LCME). Workshops focused on utilizing qualitative data for analysis was helpful in creating the interview schedules and analyzing content.110 The data support the predictive hypothetical model proposed in Chapter One. The project received Institute Review 110 Two workshops were attended sponsored by the Xxxxxxx School of Public Health, Emory University. Qualitative Research Methods Training Workshop, held August 12-­‐15, 2014 and Qualitative Data Analysis Training Workshop, held November 3-­‐4, 2014. Board (IRB) approval under Exempt status on June 22, 2016 by the Emory University IRB, Study Number IRB00087873.

  • Study Population The study was based at the San Francisco KPNC Anal Cancer Screening Clinic. We enrolled men who were identified as positive for HIV through the Kaiser HIV registry, who were aged ≥ 18 years, who were not diag- nosed with anal cancer before enrollment, and who pro- vided informed consent. In total, 363 men were enrolled between August 2009 and June 2010. The study was reviewed and approved by the institutional review boards at KPNC and at the National Cancer Institute. All partici- pants were asked to complete a self-administered ques- tionnaire to collect risk factor information. Additional information regarding HIV status and medication, sexu- ally transmitted diseases, and histopathology results were abstracted from the KPNC clinical database. For 87 of the 271 subjects without biopsy-proven AIN2 or AIN3 at the time of enrollment, follow-up infor- mation concerning outcomes from additional clinic visits up to December 2011 was available and included in the analysis to correct for the possible imperfect sensitivity of high-resolution anoscopy (HRA).13,15 Clinical Examination, Evaluation, and Results During the clinical examination, 2 specimens were col- lected by inserting a wet flocked nylon swab16 into the anal canal up to the distal rectal vault and withdrawing with rotation and lateral pressure. Both specimens were trans- ferred to PreservCyt medium (Hologic, Bedford, Mass). A third specimen was collected for routine testing for Chla- mydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhea. After specimen collection, participants underwent a digital anorectal ex- amination followed by HRA. All lesions that appeared sus- picious on HRA were biopsied and sent for routine histopathological review by KPNC pathologists, and were subsequently graded as condyloma or AIN1 through AIN3. No cancers were observed in this study population. From the first specimen, a ThinPrep slide (Hologic) was prepared for routine Xxxxxxxxxxxx staining and xxxxx- xxxxx. Two pathologists (T.D. and D.T.) reviewed the slides independently. Cytology results were reported anal- ogous to the Bethesda classification17 for cervical cytology except when otherwise noted. The following categories were used: negative for intraepithelial lesion or malig- xxxxx (NILM); ASC-US; atypical squamous cells cannot rule out high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) (ASC-H); low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL); HSIL, favor AIN2 (HSIL-AIN2); and HSIL-AIN3. ASC-H, HSIL-AIN2, and HSIL-AIN3 were combined into a single high-grade cytology category for the current analysis. Biomarker Testing Using the residual specimen from the first collection, mtm Laboratories AG (Heidelberg, Germany) performed the p16INK4a/Ki-67 dual immunostaining (‘‘p16/Ki-67 staining’’) using their CINtec Plus cytology kit according to their specifications. A ThinPrep 2000 processor (Holo- gic) was used to prepare a slide, which then was stained according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The CINtec Plus cytology kit was then applied to the unstained cytol- ogy slide for p16/Ki-67 staining. On the second collected specimen, Roche Molecular Systems (Pleasanton, Calif) tested for HR-HPV, includ- ing separate detection of HPV-16, and HPV-18 DNA, using their cobas 4800 HPV test. To prepare DNA for the cobas test, automated sample extraction was per- formed as follows: 500 lL of the PreservCyt specimen was pipetted into a secondary tube (Falcon 5-mL polypropyl- ene round-bottom tube, which measured 12-mm-by-75- mm and was nonpyrogenic and sterile). The tube was capped, mixed by vortexing, uncapped, placed on the x-480 specimen rack, and loaded onto the x-480 sample extraction module of the cobas 4800 system. The x-480 extraction module then inputs 400 lL of this material into the specimen preparation process. The extracted DNA was then tested as previously described.16 NorChip AS (Klokkarstua, Norway) also tested the second specimen for HPV-16, -18, -31, -33, and -45 HPV E6/E7 mRNA using their PreTect HPV-Proofer assay according to their specifications. All testing was per- formed masked to the results of the other assays, clinical outcomes, and patient characteristics.
