Future work including the establishment of a healthy skin programme would need to incorporate examination of household contacts to better estimate the burden of scabies infections.
Introduce and incorporate examinations which examine the actual skill, capacity or performance of the student, rather than his/her ability of repeating or reproducing things.
We investigated whether adding a new near-peer teaching course, based on a new curriculum developed with student input and incorporating patient examination under supervision in small groups, improves basic clinical examination skills in third year medical students compared to a traditional clinical examination course alone.
Translation may be more efficient if research studies are pragmatic – testing ATs in the environment in which they will be used clinically and incorporating robust examination of user's views and the burden that the AT makes on users.
In addition, we suggest future studies should incorporate the examination of context to assist in understanding how context influences KT interventions in LMICs.
Comprehensive assessment of swallowing function requires a multidimensional panel of measures that incorporates instrumental examination of swallowing along with clinician-rated and patient reported outcomes.
This incorporates neurologic examination [ 36, 37], electroencephalography [ 37, 38], somatosensory evoked potentials [ 39, 40], neuron-specific enolase [ 41, 42], and magnetic resonance imaging [ 43- 45].
Table 1 incorporates an examination of factors previously indicated to be associated with Pgp expression, such as age, white cell count, cytogenetics and secondary AML.
Global clinical status was assessed using the Clinician's Interview-Based Impression of Change Plus Caregiver Input (CIBIC-Plus) [ 27], a tool that incorporates patient examination and caregiver interviews by raters who are blinded to data from other rating instruments.
Future research may also need to incorporate an examination of the perceived role expectations within relationships (i.e. between parent and child and between spouses) and between genders (for example, all significant others in this study were female), and also the influence that others' own health problems may exert.
