This study combined an audience response system and an online system to formulate an assessment strategy based on the concept of blended learning. The participants of this study comprised two college nursing classes of an introductory computer science course in Taiwan. With information security as the teaching content, we adopted a quasi-experimental approach to conduct a 5-week teaching experiment. A blended assessment model was adopted for the experiment group, while slide presentation and verbal assessment were used for the control group. Pretests and posttests were administered for information security literacy and learning environment stimulation. The study results indicate the following (1) the experimental group performed significantly better than the control group in information security literacy, with statistically significant differences in scores regarding information security knowledge and information security skills; (2) the experimental group also presented higher learning motivation than the control group, with statistically significant differences in scores regarding self-efficacy, achievement goals, and learning environment stimulation.In this article we explore the influence of obesity on cardiovascular health and the role of bariatric surgery in reducing cardiovascular comorbidities, preventing the onset of heart failure, and improving mortality and quality of life in those with cardiac dysfunction. We highlight the mechanisms by which obesity leads to cardiovascular remodeling, diastolic dysfunction, and eventual heart failure. These mechanisms include systemic inflammation, local lipotoxicity by way of ectopic fat deposition, and hemodynamic alterations that have significant effects on cardiac structure and function. Bariatric surgery has been shown to reverse these mechanisms
