Article: Adapative modules on prerequisite chemistry content positively impace chiropractic students' proficiency in biochemistry
Image
Description
Article written by Northwestern Health Sciences University faculty member Verena Van Fleet. It was published in Lecture Notes in Computer Science and was made available online by Springer Nature in 2021.
Abstract
Students entering the doctor of chiropractic program at Northwestern Health Sciences University were offered three adaptive units on chemistry concepts deemed foundational for the two-course biochemistry series offered in the first two terms of the program. The effects of this remedial intervention offered to 3 incoming cohorts were assessed in a retrospective case-control approach by comparing several outcomes with a control group of similar size who started the program before the implementation of the adaptive units. Our calculations suggest that there is a positive effect of these adaptive units, in that the odds ratio for students to end the course with a grade of D or F decreased. The biggest impact on performance among 4 summative exams in the course was observed on the final exam, with an odds ratio of 2.3 to earn an A or B on the final, indicating that students who had access to the adaptive units had a substantially higher chance to earn a good grade. The odds ratio for students to earn an F or D on the final was 0.5, indicating a 50% lower risk for a low or failing score.

Article: Benefits and harms of prescription drugs and supplements for treatment of clinical Alzheimer-type dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Image
Description
The article was co-authored by Northwestern Health Sciences University researcher Mary L. Forte. The article was published in Annals of Internal Medicine and was published in 2020.
Abstract
Purpose: To summarize evidence on the effects of prescription drugs and supplements for CATD treatment.
Conclusion: Cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine slightly reduced short-term cognitive decline, and cholinesterase inhibitors slightly reduced reported functional decline, but differences versus placebo were of uncertain clinical importance. Evidence was mostly insufficient on drug treatment of BPSD and on supplements for all outcomes.
