Severe early childhood caries (S-ECC) is a multifactorial disease that can lead to suffering and reduced oral health–related quality of life in young children. The bacterial fungal composition dental plaque how children’s sex associated with S-ECC are largely unknown. In this study, V4-16S rRNA ITS1 gene amplicon sequencing was used compare the bacteriome mycobiome children <72 mo age: 40 (15 males, 25 females) caries-free (19 21 females). Health- nutrition-related questionnaire data were...
Strengthening health systems requires attention to workforce, training needs, and barriers service delivery. The World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies Young Neurosurgeons Committee survey sought identify challenges for residents, fellows, consultants within 10 years training.An online was distributed various neurosurgical societies, personal contacts, social media platforms (April-November 2018). Responses were grouped by Bank income classification into high-income countries (HICs),...
The Exoscope is a novel high-definition digital camera system. There limited evidence signifying the use of exoscopic devices in microsurgery. This trial objectively assesses effects as an alternative to standard operating microscope (OM) on performance experts simulated microvascular anastomosis.Modus V and OM were used by expert microsurgeons perform standardized tasks. Hand-motion analyzer measured total pathlength (TP), movements (TM), time (TT), quality end-product anastomosis. A...
Providing a comprehensive and effective neurosurgical service requires adequate numbers of well-trained, resourced, motivated neurosurgeons. The survey aims to better understand 1) the demographics young neurosurgeons worldwide; 2) challenges in training resources that they face; 3) perceived barriers; 4) needs for development.This was cross-sectional study which widely disseminated online (April 2018-November 2019) used procure nonprobabilistic sample from current trainees those within 10...
Abstract Objective To compare cognitive testing scores in neurosurgeons and aerospace engineers to help settle the age old argument of which phrase—“It’s not brain surgery” or “It’s rocket science”—is most deserved. Design International prospective comparative study. Setting United Kingdom, Europe, States, Canada. Participants 748 people (600 148 neurosurgeons). After data cleaning, 401 complete datasets were included final analysis (329 72 Main outcome measures Validated online test...
Abstract The importance of social media has seen a dramatic increase in recent times, but much about its influence academia is still unknown. To date, no comparative studies analysing the effect promotion on citation counts have been undertaken neurosurgical publishing. We randomized 177 articles published Acta Neurochirurgica from May to September 2020. 89 intervention group received standardized through one post our official Twitter/X account, whereas 88 control did not receive any...
Public engagement has become one of the most effective tools in gaining feedback and perspectives from members public, involving patients with decisions, inspiring young people to carry medical profession forwards. Brainbook is a multi-platform, social media-based resource that was created specifically enhance public neurosurgery results its case discussions will be reported this paper. A collaboration NIHR Global Health Research Group on Neurotrauma presented over 3 days (23–25 February...
The increasing shift toward a more generalized medical undergraduate curriculum has led to limited exposure subspecialties, including neurosurgery. lack of standardized teaching may result in insufficient coverage core learning outcomes. Social media (SoMe) education are becoming an increasingly accepted and popular way for students meet objectives outside formal school teaching. We delivered series case-based discussions (CbDs) over SoMe attempt needs neurosurgery determine whether...
Over the last decade advancements in computer processing have enabled application of machine learning (ML) to complex medical problems. Convolutional neural networks (CNN), a type ML, been used interrogate images for variety purposes. In this study, we aimed investigate potential CNN prognosticating patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Patients moderate severe TBI and evidence diffuse axonal (DAI) were selected retrospectively. A model was developed using training subgroup holdout as...
Background: Encephalo-duro-arterio-synangiosis (EDAS) in Moyamoya syndrome (MMS) treatment has been well described the literature, however MMS caused by sickle cell anaemia (SCA), EDAS use remains controversial with poor long-term follow-up. We present a case-series of SCA patients who have undergone for SCA-related and describe their post-operative course as provide literature review role anaemia.Methods: A retrospective all paediatric procedures conducted our institution from 2007 to 2015....
Ultrasound examination is very frequently used for the evaluation of abnormalities in various organs body. Our aim was to determine whether requests by family physicians (FPs) ultrasound examinations were appropriate. secondary objective enumerate positive and negative reports diagnostic indications.This cross-sectional study conducted during period month between June August 2010, at Family Medicine Department North West Armed Forces Prince Salman Hospital, Tabuk. We reviewed all patients...
Abstract Background Social media (SoMe) use, in all of its forms, has seen massively increased throughout the past two decades, including academic publishing. Many journals have established a SoMe presence, yet influence promotion scientific publications on their visibility and impact remains poorly studied. The European Journal Neurosurgery «Acta Neurochirurgica» presence form Twitter account that regularly promotes publications. We aim to analyze this initial campaign various alternative...
Selection of junior doctors into the British neurosurgical training program and subsequent speciality have undergone several key changes over past decade. Shift patterns in era European Working Time Directive (EWTD) had a major impact on surgical training. We discuss national selection process, formalization simulation need to encompass generic professional capabilities within curriculum order create "well-rounded surgeon". Future directions including hybrid cerebrovascular training,...
An important step in the implementation of three‐dimensional vivo proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging ( 1 H‐MRSI) prostate is placement spatial saturation pulses around region interest (ROI) for removal unwanted contaminating signals from peripheral tissue. The present study demonstrates use a technique called conformal voxel spectroscopy (CV‐MRS). This method automates placement, orientation, timing and flip angle very selective (VSS) an irregularly‐shaped, user‐defined ROI....
