Comparative Excretory Systems02:24

Comparative Excretory Systems

26.8K
Animals have evolved different strategies for excretion, the removal of waste from the body. Most waste must be dissolved in water to be excreted, so an animal’s excretory strategy directly affects its water balance.

Equivalence: In Vitro and In Vivo Bioequivalence01:17

Equivalence: In Vitro and In Vivo Bioequivalence

259
Body:Bioequivalence studies are crucial in evaluating whether new drugs can match an approved one regarding pharmacological effects and clinical performance. These studies test if drugs, despite different dosage forms, share identical plasma concentration-time profiles. Three types of equivalence are central to these studies: chemical, pharmaceutical, and therapeutic. Chemical equivalence indicates that two or more drug products contain identical active ingredients in equal amounts.

Multiple Comparison Tests

4.5K
Multiple comparison test, abbreviated as MCT, is a post hoc analysis generally performed after comparing multiple samples with one or more tests. An MCT will help identify a significantly different sample among multiple samples or a factor among multiple factors.
It would be easy to compare two samples using a significance alpha level of 0.05. In other words, there is only one sample pair to be compared. However, it would be difficult to identify a significantly different sample if the number...

Bioequivalence: Overview

2.1K
Pharmaceutical equivalents, by definition, are drug products with the same active ingredient in the same quantities, encapsulated in identical dosage forms, and intended for the same administration routes. These pharmaceutical equivalents are deemed bioequivalent if the bioavailability of the active entity in the drug preparations is similar. Moreover, pharmaceutical equivalents demonstrating bioequivalence are also regarded as therapeutically equivalent. This means that when used as directed,...

Cochran's Q Test01:17

Cochran's Q Test

1.0K
Cochran's Q Test is a nonparametric statistical test used to determine if there are potential differences in the outcomes of three or more related groups on a binary (yes/no) or dichotomous outcome. It is essentially an extension of the McNemar Test, which is limited to two related samples - Cochran's Q test can handle three or more related samples, making it more versatile in scenarios where subjects are measured under multiple conditions. The test statistic follows a Chi-Square...

Comparing Experimental Results: Student's t-Test

6.1K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...

Summary

Extra credit in veterinary medicine courses is uncommon, but students found it helpful for reviewing and integrating course material. However, extra credit did not correlate with improved examination scores or final grades.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medical Education
  • Academic Assessment

Background:

  • Limited research exists on extra credit in undergraduate and professional coursework, particularly in veterinary medicine.
  • Extra credit opportunities were analyzed within a veterinary school's core curriculum.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence and student perceptions of extra credit in a veterinary medicine program.
  • To assess the impact of extra credit on learning and student engagement.

Main Methods:

  • Syllabi from a veterinary school were reviewed to identify extra credit availability.
  • A comparative theriogenology course was used to evaluate student responses to extra-credit questions in two consecutive years.

Main Results:

  • Extra credit was offered in 13% of core curriculum courses, contributing 1-4% to total course points.
  • No correlation was found between the number of extra-credit questions completed and examination scores or final grades.
  • A high percentage of students (85.7% in Year 1, 79.5% in Year 2) reported that extra credit aided in material review and integration.

Conclusions:

  • While extra credit in veterinary courses is infrequent, it is perceived positively by students for its review and integration benefits.
  • Students generally preferred extra credit over required assignments, irrespective of the points awarded relative to effort.
  • Further investigation into the pedagogical value of extra credit in professional education is warranted.
