Does format of cases affect learning outcomes in first year medical students?
Learning outcomes in first year medical students may be enhanced when PBL cases designed to learn basic science contain relevant clinical elements.
These results collectively suggest that polymicrobial sepsis, as produced by CLP, alters sodium homeostasis in fast-twitch skeletal muscles in association with changes in systemic complement activation and circulating endotoxin levels. Although endotoxin can activate the complement cascade, endotoxin-induced complement activation does not appear to be responsible for changes in myocellular sodium homeostasis observed during sepsis in rats.
