No full textAssessing nursing skills in the clinical environment
No full textAssessment is essential to encourage learning and ensure that students are achieving a minimum standard (May & Head, 2010). There are two types of assessment, formative and summative; both will be discussed with regard to assessing practical skills. Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) will be the main focus of the article. The pros and cons of this style of assessment will be discussed in addition to providing a brief overview of other assessment options

Introduction: Because We Never See It Doesn't Mean It Never Happens
No full textCadherin Function in Bronchial Epithelial Wound Healing
No full textThe bronchial epithelial lining is often impaired in asthma with observed epithelial denudation. Normal epithelium is scaffolded by various adhesion molecules which interact and co-exist in such a fashion that together they support an epithelium that functions to line the airway lumen forming a selectivity permeable barrier, protecting the underlying tissue from harmful noxious agents in the exterior environment.The process of epithelial shedding is not fully understood. Putative restitution stages have been observed where the remaining epithelia undergo flattening, migration, proliferation and differentiation stages to restore an intact epithelial barrier.The detailed examination of bronchial epithelial morphology of non-asthmatic, asthmatic and chronic asthmatic patients in this study revealed characteristic cell phenotypes for each patient grouping. Non-asthmatics in general had an intact uniform epithelium, asthmatics tended to have suprabasal denudation, with 'flattened' basal cells remaining, whereas chronic asthmatics tended to have a predominantly denuded basement membrane with complete cell loss.Using models of epithelial development and repair, this study has demonstrated molecular modifications that are characteristic of these epithelial cell phenotypes. The adherens junction associated cell adhesion molecules E- and P-cadherin were shown to have contrasting expression patterns in epithelial development in vitro. Elevated P-cadherin immunoreactivity was seen at pre-confluence in parallel with a reduction in E-cadherin immunoreactivity. Similar observations in the early stages of repair suggest a disruption of the rigid permanent E-cadherin contacts on epithelial damage, allowing migration and more dynamic adhesion, accompanied by seemingly elevated P-cadherin levels promoting proliferation and differentiation to occur.Epithelial cells transfected with sense and antisense E-cadherin genes demonstrated a co-dependence between the expression of E- and P-cadherin expression. Preliminary work was undertaken to establish cells with altered P-cadherin expression levels. These clones, in conjunction with the epithelial models established in this study will prove essential tools in the investigation of cadherin involvement in epithelial cell adhesion and wound repair.</p
"It's like there are two people in my head": a phenomenological exploration of anorexia nervosa and its relationship to the self
No full textThis study explores the lived experience of anorexia nervosa from the perspective of those who use pro-recovery websites for eating disorders. Fourteen people participated in an online focus group or an e-interview. Data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Participants described their disorder as a functional tool for avoiding and coping with negative emotions, changing their identity and obtaining control. A central theme was the experience of an ‘anorexic voice’ with both demonic and friendly qualities. This voice felt like an external entity that criticised individuals and sometimes dominated their sense of self, particularly as anorexia nervosa got worse. Applying dialogical theory suggests a new model of anorexia nervosa, where the anorexic voice is a self-critical position, which disagrees with and attempts to dominate the more rational self. It is suggested that to move on from anorexia nervosa the individual needs to address their anorexic voice and develop a new dominant position that accepts and values their sense of sel
