En esta evaluación se investigó el nivel de conocimiento de los estudiantes que están cursando la asignatura de Clínicas Estomatológicas en la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras, sobre las lesiones patológicas en los tejidos bucales. Objetivo: determinar el nivel de conocimiento estomato-patológico que manejan los estudiantes de quinto “A” de la Facultad de Odontología. Metodología: esta investigación se realizó a través de una encuesta controlada a un total de cinco grupos que componen las pasantías del primer semestre de 2025. Se aseguró que los encuestados no recibieron ninguna información más allá de las indicaciones sobre cómo realizar la encuesta. Posteriormente, los datos fueron analizados estadísticamente y se establecieron las categorías de respuestas correctas e incorrectas de toda la muestra. Resultados: se identificó que una mayoría significativa de los estudiantes que cursan quinto “A” no manejan en mayor o menor medida los conocimientos básicos relacionados a la Patología bucal que se debe de poseer en la carrera de Odontología en los últimos periodos. Conclusiones: la mayoría de estudiantes no pudieron contestar de manera satisfactoria la identificación de los tipos de lesiones bucales. Esto no solo en el aspecto de reconocer la lesión, sino en el concepto mismo de lesión y patología, demostrando que la gran mayoría del alumnado no ha retenido la información básica necesaria para su uso efectivo en la clínica cuando se encuentre con alguna de estas lesiones.

In 2007, Best Buy was the leading electronics retailer in the United States with more than 941 stores, revenue totaling $31 billion, and a market cap of $21 billion. In 2005, Best Buy had adopted a new business model, culture, and customer-segmentation template called Customer Centricity. This move created volatility in the price of Best Buy stock because of the higher-than-expected employee costs that went with this new way of doing business and the difficulty of executing the old and the new business models simultaneously while the new model was rolled out. Best Buy responded to Wall Street's short-term focus in a myriad of ways. It first asked for investor patience, and stressed the strong operating results achieved in Best Buy stores operating under the new model. But in June 2007, after the stock dropped again, the CEO knew he had to decide whether to open more Best Buy stores, increase the company's dividend, or increase the stock-repurchase program.

High-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) is a fundamental diagnostic tool in esophagology. Educational tools for this procedure have remained scarce. This quality improvement project aimed to develop an enhanced digital recording about HREM and assess the effect on patient knowledge, anxiety, satisfaction, and procedure abortion rates. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model for Improvement and the self-regulation theory guided this project. An interprofessional team was formed. A video recording of the pre-, peri-, and post-HREM care was created. Participants were recruited in the following four cycles: Baseline, Workstation, Manometry, and Home. Questionnaires were collected pre- and postvideo education. The results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge from 60% to 96% ( p < .001), 58% to 96% ( p < .001), 79% to 96% ( p < .001), and 92% to 97% ( p = .02) and reductions in anxiety from 7.1 to 5.5 ( p = .003), 7.6 to 6.1 ( p = .003), 7.1 to 6.5 ( p < .001), and 6.4 to 6.1 ( p = .03) in all four groups. Almost all (99.5%) participants liked the recorded education and only 2.6% of cases were aborted during the 1-year project implementation period from June 2020 to May 2021. Findings from this project support the positive impact of recorded patient education. An educational recording is standardized and has the potential to be implemented in variable settings.

The Holy Spirit is central to the message of all three of these epistles. Although 1 Peter includes more details, all three portray the Spirit as the means by which the believer is transformed in God and enabled to participate in the suffering and death of Christ. Finally, the Spirit conveys the blessing/reward for suffering. For the author of 2 Peter (1:20–21), the Spirit conveys prophecy from God through holy men to believers. Jude applies the concept that the Spirit enables the believer to live a godly life, providing the criteria for whether a life is truly Spirit-filled.
