Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied a new type of multiphasic material made from silica gel and different calcium phosphates with varying solubility levels to improve bone regeneration.
- They found that a certain ratio of hydroxyapatite to monetite is essential for balancing how quickly the material breaks down and how well it helps bones heal, with physical properties being more important than solubility.
- The results showed that using materials with higher hydroxyapatite/monetite ratios led to better bone regeneration and blood vessel formation in sheep with critical bone defects.
Unlabelled: Urology needs models of competencies assessment, although there is a wide range of tools not yet integrated into the official training programs.
Context: At present, there is no universal framework for measuring surgeons' level of competence. Urology training programs should provide and consider knowledge, pyschomotor/cognitive skills, and simulator, cadaver or animal models-based training.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of laparoscopic cholecystoduodenostomy in canine cadavers using barbed self-locking sutures.
Study Design: In vivo experimental study.
Animals: Fresh male Beagle cadavers (n=5).
Introduction: Our aim is to assess the face and content validities of the physical simulator Simulap(®), as well as the construct validity of its assessment method.
Material And Methods: Five novice surgeons (G1) and five experts (G2) performed seven basic tasks and one suturing exercise on Simulap(®), which were assessed through an exam based on mistakes and performance time. Face and content validations were carried out by novice surgeons and expert surgeons, respectively.
Purpose: Laparoscopic techniques have nowadays become a gold standard in many surgical procedures, but they imply a more difficult learning skills process. Simulators have a fundamental role in the formative stage of new surgeons. This paper presents the construct and face validity of SINERGIA laparoscopic virtual reality simulator in order to decide whether it can be considered as an assessment tool.
