December 2024
Background: With rising conditions in immunocompromised states, the world is facing the challenge of fungal infections with mucormycosis which was rare previously. With the rise in diabetic patients, COVID-19-related immunosuppression, and steroid use, along with an increasing number of transplant and chemotherapy patients, there has been a notable surge in mucorales infections. Although patients with rhino-orbit-cerebral mucormycosis are the most common type of pulmonary rare ones.

November 2024
This study explores the application of functional data analysis (FDA) to hand roll velocity during radial suturing on the SutureCoach bench simulator for evaluating open suturing performance. By treating temporal sensor data as mathematical functions, FDA provides a holistic view of the dynamic changes in hand roll, offering comprehensive assessments that are easily interpretable and clinically relevant. Cluster analysis was performed on hand roll profiles from 96 subjects, categorized into advanced surgeons, trainee surgeons, and novices.

- Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a major cause of maternal mortality, prompting a study to explore the effects of herbal treatments on PPH rates in women after delivery.
- The clinical trial involved 200 women who were divided into four groups, receiving either herbal extracts (dates, grape seed, dill seed) or placebo, in addition to standard care.
- Results showed significant differences in hemorrhage rates, with the dates extract group particularly effective in reducing PPH compared to placebo and other extracts.
Vascular surgical procedures are challenging and require proficient suturing skills. To develop these skills, medical training simulators with objective feedback for formative assessment are gaining popularity. As hardware advancements offer more complex, unique sensors, determining effective task performance measures becomes imperative for efficient suturing training.
