Image Processing Tool Promoting Decision-Making in Liver Surgery of Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Preoperative assessment of the liver volume and function of the remnant liver is a mandatory prerequisite before performing major hepatectomy. The aim of this work is to develop and test a software application for evaluation of the residual function of the liver prior to the intervention of the surgeons. For this purpose, a complete software platform consisting of three basic modules: liver volume segmentation, visualization, and virtual cutting, was developed and tested. Liver volume segmentation is based on a patient examination with non-contrast abdominal Computed Tomography (CT). The basis of the segmentation is a multiple seeded region growing algorithm adapted for use with CT images without contrast-enhancement. Virtual tumor resection is performed interactively by outlining the liver region on the CT images. The software application then processes the results to produce a three-dimensional (3D) image of the “resected” region. Finally, 3D rendering module provides possibility for easy and fast interpretation of the segmentation results. The visual outputs are accompanied with quantitative measures that further provide estimation of the residual liver function and based on them the surgeons could make a better decision. The developed system was tested and verified with twenty abdominal CT patient sets consisting of different numbers of tomographic images. Volumes, obtained by manual tracing of two surgeon experts, showed a mean relative difference of 4.5%. The application was used in a study that demonstrates the need and the added value of such a tool in practice and in education.

The Impact of Simulation Education on Self-Efficacy in Pre-Registration Nursing Students

This literature review primarily aims to explore and synthesise the previous studies in simulation education research conducted over the past five years related to the effects of simulation training on the self-efficacy of undergraduate pre-registration nursing students. The second aim of this study is to explore additional outcome variables that were examined in the previous studies. Five electronic databases were searched systematically. These databases were MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus, Scopus, Embase and PsycINFO. The PICO model was employed to identify the search terms, with a thesaurus being used to provide synonyms. Reference lists of relevant articles were examined and hand searches of journals were also undertaken. The quality of each study was assessed using the Simulation Research Rubric (SRR). A total of 11 studies were included. All studies explored the impact of simulation education on undergraduate pre-registration nursing. Six studies explored nursing students’ competence and performance and two papers examined their critical thinking. Problem solving, learning motivation, communication skills and knowledge acquisition were examined once. The majority of studies indicated that simulation training has a positive impact on pre-registration nursing students’ self-efficacy and other outcome variables. Furthermore, the study results indicate that simulation training is more dependable than traditional training, and students were extremely satisfied with the simulation training. However, most of the studies included in this review had several gaps, including study design, sample size and dissimilarities between the scales used. Further research with large samples, reliable and valid instruments, and outcomes measures (such as critical thinking and transferability of skills) is required to provide better insight into the effectiveness of simulation in undergraduate nursing education. .

Leveraging Confucian and Daoist Wisdom for Biodiversity Education: A Pathway to Sustainable Decision Making

The vitality of biodiversity,an essential pillar of a thriving biosphere,is currently at risk.This paper investigates the potential of ancient philosophies,specifically Confucianism and Daoism,as pathways to mitigate this issue.We delve into the intricate connections between these philosophies and the natural world,and how they can inform our understanding of biodiversity threats in the context of cultural and technological evolution.Recognizing the inevitable progression of technology and its influence on human evolution and the biosphere,we turn to traditional philosophies to establish guiding principles for sustainable decision-making.We advocate for the principle:"Decisions must not result in the artificial reduction of biodiversity within the framework of evolutionary time."This principle is substantiated by reciprocal arguments that lay the foundation for the essential analyses to protect biodiversity.By adhering to this principle,we can ensure a sustainable biosphere conducive to ongoing human evolution.This study underscores the importance of integrating ancient wisdom with modern decision-making processes to address the pressing issue of biodiversity loss.

Innovations in education:A prospective study of storytelling narratives to enhance hepatitis C virus knowledge among substance users

BACKGROUND Even though substance users have the highest hepatitis C virus(HCV)burden,many lack knowledge about the infection.Lack of knowledge is an important obstacle to pursuing HCV care.Although printed materials are conventionally utilized to disseminate HCV-related knowledge,narrative story-telling videos may be an alternative.Data are extremely limited,however,in the ability of storytelling videos to increase HCV knowledge among substance users.In this study,we hypothesized that a story-telling narrative video would increase substance user’s immediate and 1-month HCV-related knowledge compared to a printed format.AIM To assess immediate and 1-month HCV-related knowledge retention among substance users comparing education delivered via a storytelling narrative video compared to a printed format.METHODS We conducted a prospective matched,case-control study among substance users actively prescribed buprenorphine enrolled from two sites.The intervention site received the video and the control site,the brochure.Participants(n=176)were matched on age,gender,and race.We obtained extensive patient and stakeholder input on the video’s design,validated the video’s content,and developed a recruitment plan to guide participant enrollment.Knowledge was assessed by administration of a 25-item instrument immediately before,immediately after,or one month after the intervention.Data were analyzed using nonparametric and generalized linear mixed-effects models.RESULTS We recruited a total of 176 substance users,90 and 86 individuals,from each site,respectively.One-month follow up occurred in 92%and 94%of enrollees in the control and intervention groups,respectively.In comparison with the pre-intervention scores,immediate knowledge recall increased significantly for both the intervention(P<0.0001)and control(P<0.0001)groups.Multivariate modeling revealed a significant improvement in HCV-related knowledge and retention(P=0.033)among participants who viewed the storytelling video.CONCLUSION Storytelling narratives emphasizing HCV education appear to be an effective method to increase HCV-related knowledge among substance users.They should become an educational cornerstone to promote HCV management among this population.

Developing Skills in Intra-Workplace Rehabilitation Education: I

Japan has an advanced healthcare system, on par with any developed country;at the same time, it is challenged by a rapidly aging population. In line with other countries, medical and paramedical training differs from college or university to when the graduates start working in the hospital wards;it seems like a new career to freshmen. Rehabilitation draws together the most varied professional teams treating patients from a range of specialists, and physical therapists generally receive very little intra-workplace skills training. The aim of this paper is to develop the first of a two-part educational model that is useful for the professional development of therapists working in rehabilitation medicine, by incorporating, at least, Shared Decision-Making and Narrative-Based Medicine. The most productive systems of analysis are Bloom’s psychomotor taxonomy and the Japanese DIKW system. The Japanese DIKW model of “chishin”, which is based on Data, Information, Knowledge, and Wisdom, is similar to the professional attitude and rehabilitative mindset in the healthcare system, the convalescent rehabilitation wards. The individual, departmental, and hospital levels could all benefit from aspects of these systems. Rehabilitative medicine in Japanese terms is presented as a holistic medical care that heals the body and mind and restores dignity, such as personality and self-confidence, and it is also a place where unique Japanese cultural concepts such as “Ikigai” (reason to live) and “Omotenashi” (hospitality) can be nurtured as professional awareness.

Building towards Expertise in CME （Continuous Medical Education）： Suggestions for a New Paradigm

To build towards expertise, one has to accept to modify his way of practicing, including： （1） a need to reflect on and about the action; （2） a continuous concern about our competence to practice; （3） tireless effort to combine metacognition and mental practice in a trans-disciplinary approach; （4） adding research with neuroscience, understanding neuroplasticity, modulation and artificial intelligence. Usual practice actually does not include a continuous concern for CME （continued medical education） and is intermittent at best. This new paradigm constitutes the basis of our approach. Expertise starting in 2015 is described as an asymptotic curve unable to be obtained with usual practice and intermittent education. We suggest a new way of conceiving CME combining practice, reflection on action and in-situ simulation laboratory near work. We are describing TEE （technology-enhanced education） coupled with certain neuro-enhancers to achieve a break in the asymptotic curve of expertise. This is in reality a new conception of CME in medicine.
