Assessing the Impact of Augmented Reality on Surgical Skills Training for Medical Students: A Systematic Review.

Augmented reality (AR) is increasingly being explored as a tool to enhance surgical skills training in medical education. This systematic review evaluates the effectiveness of AR in improving surgical skills among medical students. A comprehensive literature search identified studies on AR in surgical training, and data were extracted on sample size, type and dose of intervention, AR technology, application context, parameters, diagnoses, outcomes, and main results.

The Impact of Wearable Technologies on Blood Pressure Control in Hypertensive Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Hypertension is a major global health concern and a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and premature death. Despite effective treatments, blood pressure control remains suboptimal due to challenges in medication adherence, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring. Wearable technologies offer potential solutions by providing continuous monitoring and promoting healthier behaviors.

Cross-species translational paradigms for assessing positive valence system as defined by the RDoC matrix.

Functions associated with processing reward-related information are fundamental drivers of motivation, learning, and goal-directed behavior. Such functions have been classified as the positive valence system under the Research Domain and Criteria (RDoC) criteria and are negatively impacted across a range of psychiatric disorders and mental illnesses. The positive valence system is composed of three comprehensive categories containing related but dissociable functions that are organized into either Reward Responsiveness, Reward Learning, or Reward Valuation.
