Gamification involves the application of game design elements to traditionally nongame contexts. It is increasingly being used as an adjunct traditional teaching strategies in medical education engage millennial learner and enhance adult learning. The extant literature has focused on determining whether implementation gamification results better learning outcomes, leading a dearth research examining its theoretical underpinnings within context. authors define gamification, explore how works...
Despite the predominance of extensive disease in children with ulcerative colitis, data concerning severe paediatric colitis are sparse. We reviewed rates and predictors response to intravenous-corticosteroid therapy a single-centre cohort long-term follow-up.99 (49% males; age 2-17 years) were hospitalised (1991-2000) for treatment (90% extensive; 49% new onset colitis). Clinical, laboratory radiographic reviewed. A population-based subset was used assess incidence. Predictors...
Abstract LPS signals through a membrane bound-complex of the lipid binding protein MD-2 and receptor TLR4. In this study we identify discrete regions in both TLR4 that are required for signaling by IVa, an derivative is agonist horse but antagonist humans. We show changes electrostatic surface potential order IVa can induce signaling. MD-2, replacing residues 57–66 82–89 with equivalent human confers level constitutive activity on suggesting conformational switching likely to be important...
Background Feedback is an important feature of simulation-based education. This study investigated the optimal timing feedback for technical skills learning in novices. Method Thirty novice endoscopists were pretested on a colonoscopy simulator task. Participants then received either during (concurrent) or after (terminal) each their 12 practice trials. Effectiveness training was assessed using immediate posttest and one week later retention transfer tests. Measures included execution time...
The delivery of endoscopic care is changing rapidly in the era Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN) Endoscopy Procedures Committee has formulated this statement to offer practical guidance help standardize endoscopy services pediatric patients with aim minimizing COVID-19 transmission staff, patients, caregivers conserve personal protective equipment (PPE) during critical time. Appropriate use PPE...
Non-technical skills (NTS), involving cognitive, social and interpersonal that complement technical skills, are important for the completion of safe efficient procedures. We investigated impact a simulation-based curriculum with dedicated NTS training on novice endoscopists' performance clinical colonoscopies.A single-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted at single center. Novice endoscopists were to control or curriculum. The involved didactic session, virtual reality (VR)...
Background Although neuromuscular indices have been extensively studied in adolescents and adults, limited data exist for prepubescent children. Hypothesis No differences between boys girls lower limb strength, symmetry on single-legged hop testing, alignment during drop-jump testing. Study Design Cross-sectional study (prevalence); Level of evidence, 1. Methods The authors tested 27 female 25 male athletes who were aged 9 to 10 years matched both body mass index organized sports...
Purpose To compare the effectiveness of expert-assisted learning (EAL), peer-assisted (PAL), and computer-assisted (CAL) on participants' procedural skills acquisition in simulated setting. Method Sixty medical nursing students practiced urinary catheterization an expert-, peer- or computer-assisted, simulation-based, environment. Effectiveness training was evaluated setting using immediate posttest and, one week later, a retention standardized patient-based transfer test. Measures included...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has abruptly reduced gastrointestinal endoscopy activity worldwide. This had a consequent impact on training in the United Kingdom (UK). However, trainee procedure exposure not been quantified. We conducted UK-wide survey with aim of quantifying COVID-19 hands-on procedures performed by trainees and their emotional well-being. A 37-item (Supplementary File) was developed as part an international collaborative (EndoTrain).1Pawlak K.M. et...
