Published: April 1986

Computerized examinations can play an important role in the evaluation and education of trainees in orthopaedics. Several centers in the United States and Canada are currently using these, thus allowing an exchange of examination questions. Once a system is set up, only minimal involvement on the part of the instructor and office staff is required. All participants--trainees and instructors--can benefit from computerized examinations.

Background: Reliable and specific biomarkers that can distinguish autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) from commonly co-occurring attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are lacking, causing misses and delays in diagnosis, and reducing access to interventions and quality of life.

Aims: To examine whether an innovative, brief (1-min), videogame method called Computerised Assessment of Motor Imitation (CAMI), can identify ASD-specific imitation differences compared with neurotypical children and children with ADHD.

Method: This cross-sectional study used CAMI alongside standardised parent-report (Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition) and observational measures of autism (Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule-Second Edition; ADOS-2), ADHD (Conners) and motor ability (Physical and Neurological Examination for Soft Signs).

Background: The ability of conventional ultrasound (US)-guided liver biopsy to visualize certain liver lesions, particularly those affected by conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis, which can obscure lesion boundaries and lead to inaccurate biopsy targeting, is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of multimodal US techniques to improve the visibility of liver lesions that are indistinct under conventional US, and to enhance the success rate of percutaneous biopsies.

Methods: In total, 144 patients with liver masses and lesions that were not clearly visible on conventional US from October 2018 to January 2024 were enrolled in this retrospective analysis.
