Technology adoption of electronic medical records in developing economies: A systematic review on physicians' perspective.

Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) are a tool that could potentially improve the outcomes of patient care by providing physicians with access to up-to-date and accurate vital patient information. Despite this potential, EMR adoption in developing economies has been dilatory. This systematic review aims to synthesize the related literature on the adoption of EMRs in developing economies, with a focus on the perspective of physicians.

Virtual surgical planning in craniomaxillofacial surgery: a structured review.

Craniomaxillofacial (CMF) surgery is a challenging and very demanding field that involves the treatment of congenital and acquired conditions of the face and head. Due to the complexity of the head and facial region, various tools and techniques were developed and utilized to aid surgical procedures and optimize results. Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP) has revolutionized the way craniomaxillofacial surgeries are planned and executed.

Evaluation of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), Simubone™, and photopolymer resin as 3D printed temporal bone models for surgical simulation.

Objectives: Among types of 3D printing, fused deposition modeling (FDM) and digital light processing (DLP) are the most accessible, making them attractive, low-cost options for simulating surgical procedures. This study characterized and compared inexpensive, synthetic temporal bone models printed using Resin, PETG, and Simubone™.

Materials And Methods: This study compared models made of polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), Simubone™ produced from a FDM printer, and photopolymer resin from a DLP printer.
