The Use of Technology-Based Simulation among Medical Students as a Global Innovative Solution for Training.

Background: Technological advancements have been rapidly integrated within the neurosurgical education track since it is a high-risk specialty with little margin for error. Indeed, simulation and virtual reality during training can improve surgical performance and technical skills. Our study aims to investigate the impact of neurosurgical technology-based simulation activities on medical students.

An Innovative Topical Medical Device with Hyaluronic Acid and Polypeptides in Patients with Reduced Knee Function.

A topical medical device, AI500, constituted of a single-chain polypeptide embedded in hyaluronic acid, was tested and evaluated in patients with reduced knee function due to osteoarthritis and other knee conditions. A total of 35 participants with reduced knee function assessed by the WOMAC Physical Function score were recruited. Four study visits were planned, from the first application at V0 to 1 week follow up at V3.
