Abstract The primary purpose of this study was to validate Tinto's theoretical model student dropout in a distance education programme enrolling adult students. variables used adapting the situation were consistent with accepted definitions essential elements model: background characteristics, academic and social integration, goal satisfaction, institutional commitment, criterion, dropout. surveyed 356 students enrolled university‐level courses at Open Learning Institute (OLI) located...
Abstract Ionogels are an emerging class of soft materials that exhibit ionic conductivity and thermal stability without the need to replenish ions or addition conductive particle fillers. An ionogel ink is reported for direct‐write 3D printing fabricate structures can vary in printed object geometries. This approach relies on a shear‐thinning be extruded afford self‐supporting constructs. After brief UV cure, construct transformed into mechanically tough, transparent structure ionically...
Abstract The design and development of novel methodologies customized materials to fabricate patient‐specific 3D printed organ models with integrated sensing capabilities can yield advances in smart surgical aids for preoperative planning rehearsal. Here, prostate are demonstrated physical properties tissue soft electronic sensors using custom‐formulated polymeric inks. show high quantitative fidelity static dynamic mechanical properties, optical characteristics, anatomical geometries...
We examined the face, content and construct validity of version 1.0 University Washington transurethral prostate resection (TURP) trainer.Version a virtual reality based simulator for skills was developed at our laboratory by integrating TURP hardware with 3-dimensional anatomy, irrigation control, cutting, bleeding haptics force feedback. A total 72 board certified urologists 19 novices completed pre-task questionnaire, viewed an introductory training video performed pre-compiled 5-minute...

<h3>Background</h3> In Reason9s safety model, high-reliability healthcare organisations are characterised by multiple layers of defensive barriers in depth associated with increased levels the care delivery system. However, there is very little empirical evidence describing and defining settings or systematic analysis documenting nature breaches these barriers. This study uses situ simulation to identify classify active latent <h3>Methods</h3> An methodology was used team performance during...
The BLUS (Basic Laparoscopic Urologic Skills) consortium sought to address the construct validity of tasks and wider problem accurate, scalable affordable skill evaluation by investigating concordance 2 novel candidate methods with faculty panel scores, those automated motion metrics crowdsourcing.A surgeons (5) anonymous crowdworkers blindly reviewed a randomized sequence representative sample 24 videos (12 pegboard 12 suturing) extracted from validation study (454) using GOALS (Global...
As the prevalence of urolithiasis increases and ureteroscopy is used more frequently, risks uncommon complications such as ureteral stricture may become notable. Our objective to assess rate associated risk factors formation in patients undergoing ureteroscopy.Utilizing IBM MarketScan research database, we evaluated data from 2008 2019 compared rates their management following subjects who had shock wave lithotripsy. Shock lithotripsy was a comparison group represent stone disease alone. A...
We report stone comminution in the first 19 human subjects by burst wave lithotripsy (BWL), which is transcutaneous application of focused, cyclic ultrasound pulses.

To present modern educational psychology theory and apply these concepts to validity reliability of surgical skills training assessment.In a series cross-disciplinary meetings, we applied unified approach behavioral science principles medical technical education given the recent advances in theories field statistics.While validation individual simulation tools is important, it only one piece multimodal curriculum that itself deserves examination study. We propose concurrent throughout design...
The Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS(™)) skills curriculum has validity evidence supporting use for assessing laparoscopic general surgeons. As charged by the American Urological Association (AUA) Laparoscopy, Robotic, and New Surgical Technology Committee, we sought to develop validate a urology-specific FLS, referred as Basic Urologic (BLUS(©)) curriculum. psychomotor component consists three existing FLS tasks one new clip-applying task.An animate renal artery model was designed...
Objective To develop a robust psychomotor skills curriculum to teach pediatric airway foreign body retrieval and assess the effect of this on residents’ confidence in ability perform complete task an infant mannequin.

Achieving proper renal access is arguably the most challenging component of percutaneous nephrolithotomy. A core skill required during this procedure use C-arm fluoroscopic imaging and parallax techniques for needle insertion into a predetermined calyceal papilla. The trainers available these skills include virtual reality (VR) simulators physical models requiring actual fluoroscopy radiation exposure precautions. In study we present successful proof-of-concept low-cost fluoro-less trainer...
We evaluated the internal and construct validity of an assessment tool for cystoscopic ureteroscopic cognitive psychomotor skills at a multi-institutional level.Subjects included total 30 urology residents Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota.
