Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate trainee performance across six modules of a virtual reality (VR) simulator.
Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted on 10 manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) trainees who practiced cataract surgery on an MSICS VR simulator for one month. They were assessed in six major steps which included scleral groove, tunnel dissection, keratome entry, capsulorhexis, nucleus delivery, and intraocular lens (IOL) insertion under a trainer's supervision.
Article Synopsis
- The liver plays crucial roles in metabolism, immunity, digestion, detoxification, and vitamin storage, acting as a key organ for fat-soluble vitamins and minerals such as iron and copper.
- A study was conducted using six healthy adult guinea pigs to analyze the liver's ultrastructure through scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, following ethical guidelines.
- SEM revealed liver parenchyma featuring lobular structures with cell plates and sinusoids, while TEM showed hepatocytes with distinct shapes and features, including a unique arrangement of endothelial and Kupffer cells along with spaces crucial for liver function.
Therapeutic options for SARS-CoV-2 are limited merely to the symptoms or repurposed drugs and non-specific interventions to promote the human immune system. In the present study, chromatographic and in silico approaches were implemented to identify bioactive compounds which might play pivotal role as inhibitor for SARS-CoV-2 and human immunomodulator (TGF-β and TNF-α).
