We identified 24 studies of high-fidelity simulation being used to teach echocardiography. A variety of study designs were used with outcomes ranging from reports of learner self-confidence up to improvement in organizational practice. Most studies were carried out in graduate medical populations, specifically in anesthesia trainees. The substantial majority of studies (91.6%) concluded that simulation has positive outcomes for teaching echocardiography. Future investigations would benefit from application of educational theory and should focus on demonstrating whether simulation can improve care delivery and patient outcomes.

In this study, we developed a machine-learning-aided protein design strategy for engineering hemoglobin (VHb) as carbene transferase. A Natural Language Processing (NLP) model was used for the first time to construct an algorithm (EESP, enzyme enantioselectivity score predictor) and predict the enantioselectivity of VHb. We identified critical amino acid residue sites by molecular docking and established a simplified mutation library by site-saturated mutagenesis.

Macrocyclization is a compelling strategy for conventional drug design for improving biological activity, target specificity, and metabolic stability, but it was rarely applied to the design of PROTACs possibly due to the mechanism and structural complexity. Herein, we report the rational design of the first series of "Head-to-Tail" macrocyclic PROTACs. The resulting molecule exhibited pronounced Brd4 protein degradation with low nM DC values while almost totally dismissing the "hook effect", which is a general character and common concern of a PROTAC, in multiple cancer cell lines.

In psychological and educational measurement, a testlet-based test is a common and popular format, especially in some large-scale assessments. In modeling testlet effects, a standard bifactor model, as a common strategy, assumes different testlet effects and the main effect to be fully independently distributed. However, it is difficult to establish perfectly independent clusters as this assumption.

In this national survey of EM residency programs, we explored the current national distribution of virtual versus in-person didactic time and the circumstances and motivators for use of each.

Introduction Transitioning from a medical student to a foundation doctor presents numerous challenges, particularly in managing on-call duties that require quick decision-making, clinical skills, and prioritisation under pressure. The Simulation On-Call (SOC) program was developed as a one-day, immersive simulation event to equip final-year medical students with the skills and confidence needed for these responsibilities. Methods The SOC program is an annual event held for final-year medical students at the Royal Blackburn Hospital, Blackburn, UK.
