The curriculum of communication skills teaching at Maastricht Medical School.

In the Skillslab at Maastricht Medical School students are prepared for their first encounters with patients. Students can focus on individual skills, separately mastering each skill in a controlled systematic manner. With this foundation students are better equipped to face the complex intellectual and emotional demands of real patients. A large proportion of training concerns communication skills. Features of Skillslab communication skills training programme are: (1) its continuity (once every 2 weeks, from year 1 to year 6); (2) a gradual increase of complexity in skills (basic interview skills, phases of interviews, entire interviews, problem patients); (3) a gradual increase of complexity in practice situations (apparatus, role-playing, simulated patients, real patients). Evaluation shows students' and teachers' satisfaction with the programme. Comparison with conditions required for interpersonal skills training shows that these are fully met. However, there are drawbacks, which are described.

Capillary zone electrophoretic separation of C14-C18 linear saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids with indirect UV detection.

The baseline separation of eight saturated and unsaturated fatty acids of commercial interest was achieved in 15 min by counter-electroosmotic flow capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), using dimethyl-beta-CD as a buffer additive. The background electrolyte consisted of 10 mM Tris-5 mM p-anisate (pH 8.1) and 1 mM dimethyl-beta-CD in a methanol-water (50:50, vol/vol) mixture. The presence of the cyclodextrin (CD) led to differential migration of critical pairs (i.e., fatty acids of common equivalent chain length or positional isomers). The absence of a highly absorbing chromophore moiety was circumvented through the use of p-anisate as a chromogenic co-ion in the carrier electrolyte. The conditions for indirect absorbance detection were optimized by taking into account the detector linearity and the spectral properties of both analytes and chromophore. A number of parameters influencing the resolution were also discussed, including overloading phenomenon and electroosmotic flow velocity modulation. Quantitative aspects of the method were tested through the analysis of three crude vegetable oils.
