Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of a new synthetic electrospun fiber matrix for treating high-risk wounds in patients treated between January 2021 and December 2022.
- Out of 21 patients, 19 underwent analysis, with a mean age of 63.58 years and various wound causes, including trauma, surgical complications, and infections.
- Results showed that 89.5% of patients achieved their treatment goals, supporting the idea that this synthetic matrix is well-tolerated and effective for diverse complex wounds, warranting further research in controlled studies.
Background: As surgical education programs develop surgical skills laboratories, it will be important to do so in the most efficient, cost-effective manner.
Methods: We distributed a brief written survey to all general surgery residents at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics regarding their perceptions of the usefulness of a surgical skills laboratory in training of both open and laparoscopic techniques. For the initial survey, we used analysis of variance to compare differences across groups.
Background: Lectures are common in surgical clerkships, although faculty members rarely are trained in this skill. Previous authors have addressed the impact of lecture format, length, etc. on post-test performance, but little work has addressed students' free recall of information.
