Considering evidence on competency-based curricula and the benefits of volunteering, this study highlights innovative ideas to improve medical education during COVID-19 pandemic. We investigated motivations perceptions competencies developed as leadership management skills in students who joined Volunteering Program a Brazilian school.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess blepharospasm patients regarding the effect botulinum toxin in ocular surface parameters. Methods: A prospective performed treated with onabotulinumtoxinA. smartphone (iPhone 6S, Apple) and custom-made software were used record eyelid movements for 3 minutes a standardized manner. Optical coherence tomography tear meniscus area. Tear break-up time Ocular Surface Disease Index questionnaire also evaluated. Patients assessed before 15 days after...
To propose automatic segmentation algorithm (AUS) for corneal microlayers on optical coherence tomography (OCT) images.Eighty-two OCT scans were obtained from 45 patients with normal and abnormal corneas. Three testing data sets totaling 75 images randomly selected. Initially, epithelium endothelium are estimated using a mask locally refined to obtain final segmentation. Flat-epithelium flat-endothelium vertically projected locate inner microlayers. Inner by translating detected locations...
Purpose: The water drinking test (WDT) is currently used to temporarily elevate intraocular pressure (IOP) and predict peak IOP in glaucoma. This study investigates neurovascular changes associated with WDT normal subjects. Methods: effect of (1 L 5 min) on IOP, mean brachial blood pressure, heart rate, pattern electroretinogram was assessed within the next hour 16 healthy subjects (mean age: 33.5±7.9 y). As a control, testing repeated same without 1 week later. Results: Compared resulted...
Grupos de artistas profissionais ou voluntários têm-se formado com o intuito visitar, como palhaços, pacientes em hospitais ao redor do mundo, fazendo uso humor ferramenta a favor cuidado e processo recuperação. Há poucos estudos relacionados tema na literatura científica. Assim, construção um campo teórico capaz subsidiar essas atuações ainda é incipiente. Realizamos, portanto, uma revisão bibliográfica, partir 33 artigos, sobre atuação diferentes grupos palhaços vários fim compreender...
The aim of this randomized clinical trial was to test the hypothesis that there are no statistically significant differences after 3 and 6 months in masticatory performance or chewing ability people with new complete dentures made by an abbreviated a conventional technique.The included 20 edentulous participants at dental school Brazil assigned randomly receive either technique involving six sessions three sessions. At baseline old dentures, measured counting number strokes time before had...
The prevalence of major depressive episode in the elderly leads to impairment on several aspects daily life, including life quality, morbid - mortality and increases rates suicide risks. Stress events are frequent triggers elderly. present review aimed explore related onset depression old age, focusing psychosocial stress. In order achieve that, we systematically reviewed papers published Medline database from 2003-2013. From this study, verify that is a complex disorder, more often...
The aim of this study was to examine the impact an 8-week high-speed circuit resistance training program (HSCT) on choriocapillaris density (CCD) in healthy older adults.
To disclose, using an ex vivo study, the histopathological mechanism behind in thickening of endothelium/Descemet membrane complex (En/DM) observed rejected corneal grafts (RCGs).Descemet (DM), endothelium, and retrocorneal membranes make up total En/DM thickness. These layers are not differentiable by high-definition optical coherence tomography; therefore, source is unclear from perspective. A retrospective study (from September 2015 to December 2015) was conducted measure thicknesses DM,...
It is challenging to assess patients with blepharospasm (BSP) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) as these exhibit a wide range of amplitudes eyelid movements. In order quantify movements, mathematical algorithm, i.e. Fast Fourier Transform, can be employed convert the signal from time domain frequency domain. The result this quantification represents energy generated during objectively therapeutic effects botulinum toxin (BoNT) in patients, we evaluated by upper spontaneous movements before after...
(1) Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) models have shown potential in various educational contexts. However, their utility explaining complex biological phenomena, such as Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs), requires further exploration. This study empirically evaluated the performance of Large Language Models (LLMs) domain IDPs. (2) Methods: Four LLMs, GPT-3.5, GPT-4, GPT-4 with Browsing, and Google Bard (PaLM 2), were assessed using a set IDP-related questions. An expert...
Purpose: There is anecdotal evidence that upper blepharoplasty might lead to raised intraocular pressure (IOP). If this association confirmed, then patients with glaucoma and suspects could be at risk if they underwent procedure no appropriate follow up. Here, the authors aimed determine whether there are significant changes in IOP after blepharoplasty. Methods: This prospective study evaluated baseline 1, 2, 6 weeks an individuals mild moderate dermatochalasis. Upper change exerted by...
