Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialCroatian implementation of a computer-based teaching program from the University of Kansas, USA.
To determine whether the students enrolled in the computer-based teaching program would take the final examination in pathology earlier than those who studied according to the previous traditional program. ⋯ The computer-based program introduced at the Zagreb University School of Medicine in 1998 had a positive effect on medical students, as evidenced by the fact that more students chose to take the final pathology examination in the first term and more of them passed the examination in the first attempt than those in the traditional teaching program.

Endoglin is a better marker than CD31 in evaluation of angiogenesis in glioblastoma.
To compare endoglin (CD105) and the pan-endothelial marker CD31 in the assessment of angiogenesis in glioblastoma and to evaluate their values in the prognosis of this malignancy. ⋯ CD105 is a more sensitive marker than CD31 in the evaluation of angiogenesis in glioblastoma. Our study is the first report of the better prognostic significance of angiogenesis evaluated with CD105 rather than with CD31 in glioblastoma.
