Module #14 Assignment Assignment Pubmed Central search for articles about lateral flow chromatography and detection of viruses
Motivation:
This assignment addresses course outcome(s) #6 (In a virtual setting) or (Face-to-Face setting) Perform essential microbiological techniques in a simulated environment with confidence, utilizing digital tools to analyze and interpret virtual and hands-on experimental data, and apply their virtual and/or hands-on laboratory skills to clinical and public health contexts in nursing and allied health and module learning objective(s) Obj. 5 Distinguish between the different working principles of different rapid diagnostic tests. It also addresses basic digital literacy skills such as performing online searches to find accurate and relevant information using search engines.
Allied Health professional should be able to find accurate information about biomedical topics using scientific search engines such as Pubmed or PubMed Central.
As the module was aiming to increase the knowledge base of students about rapid diagnostic tests such as lateral flow immuno-chromatography, students will use PubMed Central to find information about lateral flow immuno-chromatography and detection of viruses.
Instruction:
Open an internet browser. Type into the search engine the words:” pubmed central”.
The search result should show the website or URL for PubMed Central It ist https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ .
Clicking on the link a new website should open.
Into the search bar, the students paste phrase: lateral flow immunochromatography AND detection of viruses.
The results page should show about 9,015 biomedical articles.
The students should then select one article of their choice and upload the information into the assignment. Please upload the title of the article, the names of the authors, and the information about the scientific journal or book.
For example, a fictitious student has chosen this article:
- Authors: Kim YK, Lim SI, Cho IS, Cheong KM, Lee EJ, Lee SO, Kim JB, Kim JH, Jeong DS, An BH, An DJ.
- Name of Journal or book: J Virol Methods. 2015 Sep 2;225:4-8. doi: 10.1016/j.jviromet.2015.08.024.
More background information: Our original search phrase ( lateral flow immunochromatography AND detection of viruses) had the word and in capital letters as AND. This is on purpose. The PubMed Central search engine considers AND as a command. The command means to combine the search terms before and after AND. In this case we combined lateral flow immunochromatography with the detection of viruses.
Evaluation rubric:
Expectations met (100 points) – a scientific article was uploaded with title of the article, the names of the authors, and the name of the journal or book
Expectations partially met (70 points) – 2 out of 3 elements (title, authors, name of journal or book) were uploaded.
Expectations mostly incomplete (25 points) - 1 out of 3 elements (title, authors, name of journal or book) were uploaded.
Expectations mostly incomplete (0 points) - 0 out of 3 elements (title, authors, name of journal or book) were uploaded.
Students can upload files as text or word processing files in the format of docx, odt, txt, pdf. Photos of handwritten or printed papers can be uploaded as photos in jpg, or png, or other suitable files. Please make sure that your name as a student is on the uploaded document.
The instructor will set the deadline for the assignment. Within the deadline of the assignment multiple attempts are allowed to upload files or photos.
