Assessing the Efficacy of Active Learning to Support Student Performance Across Undergraduate Programmes in Biomedical Science
Discussion: Active learning is a useful tool to support student learning across a range of healthcare programmes taken by students with differing backgrounds and academic abilities in an interprofessional and widening participation setting. Student engagement in active learning was highlighted as a key contributory factor to enhanced student performance in all aspects of assessment.PMID:38501148 | PMC:PMC10945544 | DOI:10.3389/bjbs.2024.12148 (Source: British Journal of Biomedical Science)

The Role and Limitations of the Reference Interval Within Clinical Chemistry and Its Reliability for Disease Detection
Br J Biomed Sci. 2024 Feb 28;81:12339. doi: 10.3389/bjbs.2024.12339. eCollection 2024.ABSTRACTReference intervals (RIs) are a range of values that are supplied alongside laboratory measurements for comparison to allow interpretation of this data. Historically, RIs were referred to as the normal range. However, the perception of what is normal can lead to confusion in clinicians and unnecessary emotional distress in patients. RIs can be acquired using several methods. Laboratories may quote published studies or derive their own using established direct or indirect methods. Alternatively, laboratories may verify RIs provided...
