Comparing Efficacies of Biopsy and Rapid Urease Testing for H. Pylori at a Single Institution by Kathleen Hill, Aiden V. Ohning, Jonathan P. Mallory, Stella Self, Christine M. G. Schammel, Jenny Meredith, John Reddic, Patrick Kent, Jenny B. Knight

“…Histology and RUT testing yield similar results; therefore, there is no efficacious reason to run both tests on patients. Since histology has greater sensitivity (>95%) and the ability to identify other gastropathies, it should be considered the “gold standard,” for the identification of H. pylori.…”

HEIDEGGER’S HUMAN DIMENSION UNDERSTANDING OF TECHNOLOGY by Uliana R. Vynnyk

“…Heidegger broke with the tradition of European philosophy of technology, which focused its attention on the direct, "obvious" achievements of progress, having showed that the effects of intrusion of technology are diverse and difficult to be predicted in the long run. Technological dependence is hardly fatal to humans in the sense that it contains distinct preconceived thinking, behavior and consciousness.…”
