Article Abstract
Background: Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) provide educators feedback to improve the quality of instruction; however, response rates often are low. Incentives may be used, but there is limited data on their effect on SETs response rates and course means.
Method: This study used a descriptive study design.
Results: A total of 250 courses were included in the data review. SETs response rates were significantly higher in those courses that offered an incentive, yet course means were higher in courses that did not offer an incentive. SETs response rates were higher for required courses; course means were higher for non-clinical and elective courses.
Conclusion: This study adds to the body of evidence regarding the use of incentives for completing SETs and other factors that may influence response rates and course means. This study found that incentives increased response rates on SETs without affecting course ratings.

Hibernation is an elaborate response strategy employed by numerous mammals to survive in cold conditions that involves active suppression of metabolism. Despite the role of mitochondria as energy metabolism centers during hibernation, the adaptive and evolutionary mechanisms of mitochondrial genes in hibernating animals, like hedgehogs in eulipotyphlan species, are not yet fully understood. In this study, we sequenced and assembled mitochondrial genomes of the hibernating four-toed hedgehog () and the non-hibernating Asian house shrew ().

This work investigated the effect of zinc oxide nanoparticles functionalized with curcumin (ZnO+CUR) supplementation during the maturation (IVM) of bovine oocytes on the embryo production and the cellular antioxidant response. A total of 1,625 cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were cultured in the maturation medium in the absence (0 µM - control) or presence of different concentrations of ZnO+CUR (3 µM, 6 µM or 12 µM). After IVM, COCs were destined either to 1) embryo production or 2) analysis of reactive oxygen species production, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, catalase (CAT) activity and total antioxidant capacity (FRAP).

Objectives: Salvage endoscopic therapy is increasingly recommended for localized, superficial failure at the primary site after chemoradiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. This multicenter retrospective study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and prognostic factors associated with overall survival in patients who underwent salvage endoscopic therapy for cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed patients with cT1N0M0 local failure after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy who underwent endoscopic resection or photodynamic therapy using talaporfin sodium at two Japanese institutions between 2012 and 2021.
Background: Fluid management is a critical aspect of care in critically ill patients. While fluid overload has been linked to adverse outcomes, the balance between achieving a negative fluid balance and preserving kidney function presents a clinical challenge, and the significance of diuretic responsiveness in patients in the de-resuscitation phase remains unclear.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between forced diuresis, fluid balance, and clinical outcomes in ICU patients during the de- resuscitation phase.

This study investigates the effects of L-carnitine on nuclear maturation and fertilization in cattle and goat oocytes. Ovaries were collected from females with poor reproductive efficiency in the tropical climate, and cumulus-oocyte complexes (COCs) were retrieved from large antral follicles. COCs were cultured with varying concentrations of L-carnitine (0, 0.
