Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement01:16

Bioavailability Enhancement: Drug Solubility Enhancement

236
Body:Bioavailability is a critical factor in determining a drug's effectiveness. It refers to the proportion of a drug that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and is, as a result, able to have an active effect. Enhancing bioavailability is essential for drugs with poor solubility, as it can significantly impact their therapeutic efficacy. Various methods are employed to increase the solubility of drugs, thereby enhancing their bioavailability.Micronization and nanonization are...

Virtual Work01:20

Virtual Work

1.4K
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving

1.6K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.
To apply the principle of virtual work,...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Area of Science:

  • Histology Education
  • Digital Pathology
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional microscope-based histology teaching faces challenges from curricular reforms and the need for collaborative learning strategies.
  • Computer-based histology tools, including Virtual Microscopes (VMs), offer effective and efficient educational alternatives.
  • An open-source VM system was developed using the Google Maps engine to innovate histology education.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To transform histology education through a novel, open-source Virtual Microscope (VM) system.
  • To introduce new teaching methods that foster student collaboration and content creation.
  • To provide learners with greater control over educational content and collaborative tools.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an open-source Virtual Microscope (VM) system based on the Google Maps engine.
  • Integrated features for collaborative content creation, slide annotation, and social networking.
  • Deployed the system for general teaching and restricted practical exams, housing over 1,000 digital slides.

Main Results:

  • The VM system hosts 1,037 slides (39.4 million JPEGs) and has recorded 289,352 unique slide views.
  • Students accessed the system extensively, averaging 56.3 slides/month, with 73.8% of annotations made by students.
  • Faculty administration time was reduced by 210 hours; laboratory sessions shortened from 3 to 2 hours due to workflow efficiencies.

Conclusions:

  • The web-based VM system effectively addresses challenges in traditional histopathology labs and meets revised curriculum needs.
  • The system empowers learners with content control and collaborative capabilities, saving faculty time.
  • Student performance on practical exams remained consistent, and the source code is publicly available.
