Can the 'assessment drives learning' effect be detected in clinical skills training?
The results show a clear influence of assessments on students' attendance at skills-lab training sessions. First recommendations for curriculum design and resource management will be described. Nevertheless, further prospective research studies will be necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the motivational factors impacting students' utilisation of voluntary skills-lab training in order to reach a sufficient concordance between students' requirements and faculty offers, as well as resource management.
From this analysis, it appears that a hepatic iron concentration>283 micromol/g is associated with cirrhosis. However, the low sensitivity of this threshold suggests that other cofactors contribute to the development of cirrhosis in hemochromatosis. Early diagnosis is encouraged to initiate iron depletion before the development of cirrhosis.
