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.

Three years of experience with routine use of telepathology in assessment of excisional and aspirate biopsies of breast lesions.
To examine the applicability of routine telepathology to accurately diagnose breast lesions. ⋯ This long term study demonstrates that the routine use of telepathology compares well with conventional microscopy in the assessment of both frozen sections and fine needle aspirates of breast lesions.

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.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical TrialMetoclopramide improves gastric but not gallbladder emptying in cardiac surgery patients with early intragastric enteral feeding: randomized controlled trial.
To evaluate the effect of metoclopramide on gastric emptying in coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery patients with early enteral nutrition and to evaluate the effect of metoclopramide on motility of the gallbladder in these patients. ⋯ In CABG surgery patients with early enteral feeding, a single dose of intravenous metoclopramide effectively improves gastric emptying, but does not have any prokinetic effect on gallbladder motility.
