Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the effect of repeated video-training sessions on the adequacy of metered-dose inhaler (MDI) among individuals with COPD.
Background: MDI devices facilitate the use of inhalation drugs in COPD patients and have become ever more important over the years. However, this device requires a certain level of hand-to-mouth coordination and cognitive ability. Since it has a high risk of application errors, training in its use is important to treatment success.
Design: Randomised controlled trial.
Methods: This study was carried out from 1 February to 1 July 2017 with the participation of 40 COPD patients. The data were collected using a 'Patient Information Request Form' and an 'MDI Skill Evaluation Form'. CONSORT checklist was used to report the current study.
Results: It was found that there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups in terms of the mean scores of the 1st measurement (p > .05), though the mean scores of the 5th measurement were significantly higher in the experimental group (p < .001). In the 5th measurement, it was identified that the control group had 'moderate' adequacy (3.20 ± 1.6), while the experimental group had 'satisfactory' adequacy (8.70 ± 1.17), indicating that the patients in the experimental group made fewer mistakes and showed improved adequacy.
Conclusion: It was found that repeated video-training sessions materially improved MDI skills.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: Supporting the training on inhaler drug therapy with visual technological tools and regular checking of drug use will contribute to COPD management.

Article Synopsis
- Dynamic computer-assisted surgical implant placement (dCAIS) enables precise implant insertion with real-time tracking, but there’s a lack of knowledge about the learning curve for anterior versus posterior placements.
- The study involved 8 participants (4 novice, 4 experienced) practicing four implant placements in both anterior and posterior groups, analyzing their performance over five sessions.
- Results showed that posterior placements had more deviations than anterior during initial sessions, while experienced operators completed tasks faster. However, accuracy improved uniformly with practice for both groups.
Learning to Implement Dialogic Reading Through Video-Based Online Training: A Preliminary Study.

Purpose: Dialogic reading (DR) is an evidence-based method for reading with young children that is associated with improvements in children's oral language skills. There is, however, a lack of consensus on (a) how to train educators to deliver the intervention and (b) methods for assessing implementation fidelity. We designed this study to provide preliminary data about the viability of online video modules as an initial training option within a future tiered training model.

Canine optic pathway structures are often contoured on CT images, despite the difficulty of visualizing the optic pathway with CT using standard planes. The purpose of this prospective, analytical, diagnostic accuracy study was to examine the accuracy of optic pathway contouring by veterinary radiation oncologists (ROs) before and after training on optic plane contouring. Optic pathway contours used as the gold standard for comparison were created based on expert consensus from registered CT and MRI for eight dogs.

Simulation in veterinary education provides a safe and ethical alternative to using live animals, but most simulators are single purpose and unvalidated. In this study, canine training manikins were created using readily available materials to teach fine needle aspiration (FNA) of peripheral lymph nodes, jugular venipuncture, cephalic venipuncture, intravenous catheterization, and cystocentesis. Undergraduate subjects were prospectively enrolled and stratified by veterinary experience prior to randomization into two groups.

Background: Because patients diagnosed with brain death in intensive care units constitute a potential cadaveric donor group for organ transplantation, intensive care units are potential donor sources. Nurses who closely monitor the patient collaborate with medical personnel in the recognition and early diagnosis of brain death. Nurses also have an important role in supporting the patient's family.
