Background: Since the end of the XIX century, teaching of surgery has remained practically unaltered until now. With the dawn of video-assisted laparoscopy, surgery has faced new technical and learning challenges. Due to technological advances, from Internet access to portable electronic devices, the use of online resources is part of the educational armamentarium. In this respect, videos have already proven to be effective and useful, however the best way to benefit from these tools is still not clearly defined.
Aims: To assess the importance of video-based learning, using an electronic questionnaire applied to residents and specialists of different surgical fields.
Methods: Importance of video-based learning was assessed in a sample of 141 subjects, using a questionnaire distributed by a GoogleDoc online form.
Results: We found that 98.6% of the respondents have already used videos to prepare for surgery. When comparing video sources by formation status, residents were found to use Youtube significantly more often than specialists (p < 0.001). Additionally, residents placed more value on didactic illustrations and procedure narration than specialists (p < 0.001). On the other hand, specialists prized surgeon's technical skill and the presence of tips and tricks much more than residents (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Video-based learning is currently a hallmark of surgical preparation among residents and specialists working in Portugal. Based on these findings we believe that the creation of quality and scientifically accurate videos, and subsequent compilation in available video-libraries appears to be the future landscape for video-based learning.

CardiacField: computational echocardiography for automated heart function estimation using two-dimensional echocardiography probes.
Eur Heart J Digit Health
January 2025
Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China.
Aims: Accurate heart function estimation is vital for detecting and monitoring cardiovascular diseases. While two-dimensional echocardiography (2DE) is widely accessible and used, it requires specialized training, is prone to inter-observer variability, and lacks comprehensive three-dimensional (3D) information. We introduce CardiacField, a computational echocardiography system using a 2DE probe for precise, automated left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) ejection fraction (EF) estimations, which is especially easy to use for non-cardiovascular healthcare practitioners.

Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University, P.O. Box 84428, Riyadh, 11671, Saudi Arabia.
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to investigate the effects of live and video demonstrations of various dental procedures on undergraduate students' performance and satisfaction scores.
Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including MEDLINE (OVID), PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, supplemented by a manual search of bibliographic references from retrieved articles. The aim was to identify relevant randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental trials that compared live demonstrations to video demonstrations in dental education, specifically focusing on undergraduate students' performance and satisfaction scores assessed using practical assessment rubrics and satisfaction questionnaires.
Comparing innovative AI algorithms to assess echocardiographic videos for clinical modelling.

McGill University Health Center, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University, Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Objective(s): We conduct a comparative study that employs the use of multiple dynamic deep learning algorithms to develop predictive models with video-based echocardiographic images using sample size determination as a key variable to assess optimal performance metrics.
Methods: Our study compares performance of 3D convolutional neural networks, video vision transformers, and hybrid convolutional neural networks and Long Short-Term Memory models within both supervised and semi-supervised domains using variable sample sizes.
Results: For supervised learning, the ResNet3D model achieved the lowest Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) across all training set sizes (200, 400, and 800-video datasets), with the best performance observed on the 800-video training set (MAE: 7.
