Publication in biomedical research is essential for dissemination of relevant information and advances in science and medicine. The main currency for biomedical publications is the manuscript, which can be of various types, including but not limited to original studies, reviews, and case series. Biomedical writing for purposes of a manuscript is an art which builds on early linguistic and schol...

BACKGROUND Questioning is one of the essential techniques used by lecturers to make lectures more interactive and effective. This study surveyed the perception of questioning techniques by medical school faculty members and analyzed how the questioning technique is used in actual classes. METHODS Data on the perceptions of the questioning skills used during lectures was collected using a self...

Not all universities, and especially newly established institutes in biomedical engineering are able to develop and provide a high quality learning content. A distant, open and free learning environment European Virtual Campus for Biomedical Engineering (EVICAB) could provide a solution for that. The learning content has been already developed for EVICAB and is available in different formats, i...

Education in biomedical engineering offers a number of challenges to all constituents of the educational process-faculty, students, and employers of graduates. Although biomedical engineering educational systems have been under development for 40 years, interest in and the pace of development of these programs has accelerated in recent years. New advances in the learning sciences have provided ...

Although biomedical physicists provide educational services to the healthcare professions in the majority of universities in Europe, their precise role with respect to the education of the healthcare professions has not been studied systematically. To address this issue we are conducting a research project to produce a strategic development model for the role using the well-established SWOT (St...

BACKGROUND The association between low socioeconomic status and poor physical functioning has been well described; biomedical factors may play an important role in explaining these differences. This study examines the association between socioeconomic status and incident mobility limitation in well-functioning older adults, and seeks to determine whether this link could be explained by biomedic...

OBJECTIVES The existence and survival of university institutes is increasingly dependent on assessments of research and education. In many countries also departments of biomedical informatics are assessed at regular intervals, often as part of the review of a Medical or Health Sciences Faculty, or a Research School. The article underlines the importance of periodic evaluation of research and ed...

Biomedical engineering is an exciting field that demands the skills of many engineering disciplines. While the demand for biomedical engineers is greatly increasing, the awareness of the field may not be increasing at the same rate. This study, which included an EMG controlled robotic arm, was shown to motivate pre-college students to pursue biomedical engineering careers. This research may lea...

Images are important in disease research, education, and clinical medicine. This paper presents a Web Service Platform (WSP) for support multiple programming languages to access image from biomedical databases. The main function WSP is to allow web users access image from biomedical databases. The WSP will receive web user’s queries. After that, it will send to Querying Server (QS) and the QS w...
