Mass casualty incidents (MCIs) are events where the number of patients may exceed resources available for emergency management. In departments (ED), MCIs go along with high patient allocation in a short time period. For ED staff, simulation-based immersive scenario training can be an effective tool to develop communicative and leadership competencies manage these situations. A novel immersion experience was developed senior residents care. To our knowledge, this is first focusing on...

Methods: survey included 44 faculties area: 37 Germany, four Austria three Switzerland. A standardized questionnaire focused following aspects education: general information, organization, resources, assessment methods evaluation. Results: Data from 28...

<br><b>Introduction:</b> Due to the expanding role of ultrasound as a diagnostic tool in modern medicine, medical schools rapidly include training their curriculum. The objective this study was compare simulator-based along with classical teaching, using human models, impart focused transthoracic echocardiography examination. <b>Subject and Methods:</b> A total 22 students, no former training, undertook 90-min e-learning module, dealing important echocardiographic pathologies. Subsequently,...

Abstract α-Tocopherol transfer protein (α-TTP) has been identified as the major intracellular transport for antioxidant vitamin E (α-tocopherol). Expression of α-TTP on reproductive system described both in mouse uterus and lately human placenta. The aim this study was to clarify if placental expression can be modified by substances causing oxidative reactions. choriocarcinoma cell line BeWo was, therefore, treated with two known pro-oxidants. determined immunocytochemistry evaluated...

Students can improve the learning process by developing their own multiple choice questions. If a similar effect occurred when creating OSCE (objective structured clinical examination) stations themselves it could be beneficial to involve them in development of stations. This study investigates students emergency medicine on test performance. In 2011/12 winter semester, an was held for first time at Faculty Medicine University Leipzig. When preparing OSCE, 13 (the intervention group)...

Using scenarios with simulated patients, students were recall apply theoretically learned procedures immediate measures an obstetric...

Web 2.0 is changing the study of medicine by opening up totally new ways learning and teaching in an ongoing process. Global social networking services like Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Google Drive Xing already play important part communication both among students between staff. Moreover, local portals (such as platform [http://www.leipzig-medizin.de] established 2003) have also caught on some cases eclipsed use well-known location-independent media.

Previous research suggests that cardiac examination skills in undergraduate medical students frequently need improvement. There are different ways to enhance physical (PE) such as simulator-based training or peer-assisted learning (PAL).

Background: Due to a lack of communication strategies and knowledge about the Deaf community, health care professionals are often not prepared provide deaf or hard hearing patients with accessible adapted healthcare. Methods: In present study, workshop was designed determine effect awareness training on medical students concerning their gain regarding deafness competence in providing healthcare for patients. 95 were evaluated an online survey prior as well following workshop. The held three...

The subjects divided into groups according their assignment classes. Group A received sequence seminars, including basics risk classification system (RCS) theoretical background and case studies in context preventive dentistry....

Endotracheal intubation is still the gold standard in airway management. For medical students and young professionals, it often difficult to train personal skills. We tested a high-fidelity simulator with an additional quantitative feedback integration elucidate if competence acquisition for management increased by using this method. In prospective trial, all participants (n = 299; 4th-year students) were randomized into two groups—One had been trained on 149) one without 150). Three...

Fragestellung:α-Tokopherol (Vitamin E) ist bekannt als das wichtigste fettlösliche Antioxidans. Es wird durch 32 kDa schwere α-Tokopherol-Transfer-Protein (α-TTP) in verschiedene Gewebe, u.a. auch der Plazenta, transportiert. Schädigungen reaktive Sauerstoffspezies Plazenta werden seit langem diskutiert. Plazentabezogene Krankheitsbilder, wie eine Präeklampsie oder Fehlgeburt, Zusammenhang gebracht mit oxidativem Stress.
