After you have read the 3 definitions a few times, then you create your OWN definition. STOP
looking at the definitions and think about the 3 definitions. If you are looking at the book or
reference book entry and changing a few words here and there, you are NOT LEARNING
anything and you are probably copying or editing. With your book closed and the definitions
out of sight…that is when you start writing YOUR version.

Tutorial PUBMED
This document provides an overview and instructions for using PubMed, a database from the National Library of Medicine that includes MEDLINE and life science journals. It outlines the learning outcomes for a class on PubMed, which include being able to identify full-text availability, use Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms, limit and expand searches, use Boolean operators, and locate related resources. Step-by-step instructions are provided for conducting searches in PubMed and finding full-text articles.
Google scholar
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: articles, theses, books, abstracts and court opinions, from academic publishers, professional societies, online repositories, universities and other web sites. Google Scholar helps you find relevant work across the world of scholarly research.

Lesson 2#Scientific Research Skills
This document provides a lesson on searching PubMed for scientific research. It explains that while Google and Google Scholar can find some PubMed citations, they do not comprehensively search the full biomedical literature like PubMed does. The document then demonstrates how to perform various types of searches on PubMed, including keyword searches, searching with limits, author searches, and citation searches. It also shows how to combine search terms and use field tags to focus searches more precisely. The goal is to teach researchers how to effectively search the biomedical literature using PubMed's advanced search features.
Infotrac tutorial
Info Trac is a collection of databases that contains magazine, journal, and book articles. It provides full text for many articles and allows users to search in different ways, including subject, one search, and advanced searches. Users can print, email, save, or translate articles. It also includes citation and social bookmarking tools.

Wound healing PPT
This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
