Medical educators aim to identify the best methods to prepare students for clinical practice
We compared the homogeneity of the CG and of the TG at pre-test with χ2 test and Fisher’s exact test for qualitative variables and with the Mann-Whitney U test for quantitative parameters.

Cells were fixed once again with 1% paraformaldehyde prior to storage and analysis
Carayon and associates generated and purified polyclonal rabbit anti-CB2 antibody directed against the C-terminal of human CB2. As fixation and permeabilization were required for antigen detection, their approach precluded a comparison between extracellular and intracellular staining. A fluorescent signal was detected from stained B cells and was inhibited by excess peptide, but the findings were much less […]
