C4 Pathway and CAM

C4 Pathway and CAM

Most plants use the C3 pathway for carbon fixation. However, some plants, such as sugar cane, corn, and cacti that grow in hot conditions, use alternative pathways to fix carbon and conserve energy loss due to photorespiration. Photorespiration is the process that occurs when the oxygen concentration is high. Under such conditions, the rubisco enzyme in the Calvin cycle binds O2 instead of CO2, which halts photosynthesis and consumes energy.

Preclinical Development: Overview

Preclinical Development: Overview

Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Area of Science:

Dental Education
Digital Dentistry
Curriculum Development

Background:

Preclinical dental education utilizes various course models to teach Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology.
Assessing student preparedness and faculty/teaching assistant (TA) perceptions is crucial for curriculum evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare the effectiveness of traditional and bootcamp course models for preclinical CAD/CAM dental education.
To evaluate student preparedness, engagement, and material retention across different course formats.

Main Methods:

A 2022 study compared a 10-week traditional course with a 1-week intensive bootcamp.
Student course evaluations and faculty/TA online questionnaires were utilized for data collection.

Main Results:

Students in both models reported high preparedness (over 91%) and confidence (over 93%) for clinical CAD/CAM procedures.
Faculty favored the bootcamp for engagement (57.1%), preparedness (71.4%), and retention (100%).
TA perceptions varied, with a majority favoring bootcamp for engagement and retention, but preferring traditional for preparedness.

Conclusions:

Bootcamp models can be as effective as traditional methods in preclinical dental education.
The bootcamp format may enhance material retention and student confidence prior to clinical practice.
100% of course faculty recommended the bootcamp format for all dental students.
