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...

<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...

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...

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...
