EDIT is short for Educational Development using Information Technology. The EDIT project was initiated by the Faculty of Health Sciences at Linköping University. The aim was to develop web-based scenarios for problem-based learning (PBL). Patient case studies and other medical problems or situations are illustrated by using realistic texts and multimedia, e.g. pictures and short films. Since the project started in 2001, EDIT-scenarios have been developed for six undergraduate programmes. The project covers two years of the medical programme. The use of multimedia has introduced new possibilities to challenge students' thinking by stimulating more senses. The different parts of a scenario are designed to raise questions without providing answers. Both students and tutors have perceived EDIT-scenarios as more motivating and interesting than the case studies on paper previously used. EDIT has contributed to improving and updating PBL-scenarios. This process has helped vitalise the discussions about pedagogical issues. For students as well as teachers, the project has lead to increased general familiarity with IT. In this paper, the project concept, practical aspects of the implementation, and pedagogical outcomes are discussed.

Deep learning-based algorithm for classifying high-resolution computed tomography features in coal workers' pneumoconiosis.
Biomed Eng Online
January 2025
Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, National Health Commission Key Laboratory of Pneumoconiosis, Shanxi Key Laboratory of Respiratory Diseases, First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University, No. 85 Jiefang South Road, Taiyuan, 030001, Shanxi, People's Republic of China.
Background: Coal workers' pneumoconiosis is a chronic occupational lung disease with considerable pulmonary complications, including irreversible lung diseases that are too complex to accurately identify via chest X-rays. The classification of clinical imaging features from high-resolution computed tomography might become a powerful clinical tool for diagnosing pneumoconiosis in the future.
Methods: All chest high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) medical images presented in this work were obtained from 217 coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) patients and dust-exposed workers.
Large language model based mutations in genetic improvement.

January 2025

Ever since the first large language models (LLMs) have become available, both academics and practitioners have used them to aid software engineering tasks. However, little research as yet has been done in combining search-based software engineering (SBSE) and LLMs. In this paper, we evaluate the use of LLMs as mutation operators for genetic improvement (GI), an SBSE approach, to improve the GI search process.

School of Nursing and Rehabilitation, Nantong University, Nantong, Jiangsu, 226001, China.
Background: Chinese cancer survivors are not doing well in returning to work. Peer support, as an external coping resource to help cancer survivors return to work, brings together members of the lay community with similar stressors or problems for mutual support. Peer volunteers have not received systematic training, so inappropriate language in the support process can often cause secondary damage to both the peer and the cancer survivor.

January 2025
Department of Knee Joint Surgery, Xi'an Honghui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaanxi, China.
Aims: This study compared the hemostatic effects and complications of oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) and topical TXA in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), thus providing a reference for the use of ORC as an alternative hemostatic agent to TXA in TKA.
Methods: A total of 105 patients were included in this study and randomized into blank control, ORC, and TXA groups. The primary outcomes were total blood loss, hemoglobin drop (Hb drop), transfusion rates, and incidence of thrombosis.
Ultrasound-based abdominal muscles and diaphragm assessment in predicting extubation failure in patients requiring neurointensive care: a single-center observational study.
Sci Rep
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation, The First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China.
Extubation failure rates are notably high in patients in neurointensive care. Ineffective cough is the variable independently associated with extubation failure, but its quantification remains challenging. Patients with primary central nervous system injury requiring invasive mechanical ventilation were included.
