Objective: To study the utility of simulation videos with embedded quiz items compared and in combination with live hands-on demonstrations of dental procedures.
Methods: Thirty-three videos with embedded items were developed to help students understand the procedures they had to practice in the simulation laboratory. Videos were uploaded to the university LMS platform for students to watch and complete the embedded items as many times as they liked. All 76 students from 2021 and 73 from 2022 Integrated Dentistry III courses were invited to participate in the study. Practical (OSCE) and theoretical (MCQ) exam grades of the 2021 academic year, when interactive videos replaced live demonstrations, were collected and compared to those of the previous years (2017-2020) when only live demonstrations were performed, as were those from the 2022 academic year, when videos were complemented with hands-on live demonstrations. At the end of each year, a perception questionnaire was voluntarily completed by the students.
Results: Assessment grades were significantly higher in the 2021 academic year when interactive videos were incorporated versus the 2017-2020 period when only live demonstrations were performed. However, the combination of interactive videos with live demonstrations performed during 2022 showed the highest exam grades. Seventy-nine percent of students answered the questionnaire, highly valued the utility of the interactive videos and liked the embedded items. Overall, they stated that they learned from the videos.
Conclusions: Interactive videos of preclinical procedures with embedded items combined with live demonstrations can significantly enhance students' learning and are valued by students.

This study presents an advanced methodology for 3D heart reconstruction using a combination of deep learning models and computational techniques, addressing critical challenges in cardiac modeling and segmentation. A multi-dataset approach was employed, including data from the UK Biobank, MICCAI Multi-Modality Whole Heart Segmentation (MM-WHS) challenge, and clinical datasets of congenital heart disease. Preprocessing steps involved segmentation, intensity normalization, and mesh generation, while the reconstruction was performed using a blend of statistical shape modeling (SSM), graph convolutional networks (GCNs), and progressive GANs.

Blended care therapy (BCT), which augments live, video-based psychotherapy sessions with asynchronous digital tools, has the potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, its effectiveness in diverse, real-world settings is not well-understood. This evaluation aimed to assess clinical outcomes of a BCT program for PTSD symptoms.

MicroRNA (miRNA) imaging in living cells is paramount for comprehending its dynamic functions and profiles, offering valuable insights into miRNA-related cellular processes. However, this remains challenging due to limited transfection agents and the low abundance of miRNAs. Herein, a smart nanosystem was proposed for miRNA imaging in living cells by ingeniously integrating cyclometalated ruthenium (II) nanoparticles (RuNPs) with a catalyzed hairpin assembly (CHA) strategy.

Heavy metal contamination and pesticide residues pose significant threats to human health and ecosystems. Despite its broad applications, fluorescence imaging technology often struggles in complex ecological and biological environments due to disadvantages of background autofluorescence and low quantum yield. This study introduced a near-infrared (NIR) multifunctional "off-on-off" isophorone-based fluorescent bio-probe, DHB, characterized by a high fluorescence quantum yield (10.

Background: The microvasculature of the central nervous system (CNS), which delivers oxygen and nutrients and forms a critical barrier protecting the CNS, is deleteriously affected by both Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). Previous studies have shown pericyte dropout and vessel constriction in brain capillaries in AD, while other studies have shown pericyte bridging and dropout in retinal capillaries in T2D. T2D patients have increased risk of AD, suggesting potentially related microvascular pathological mechanisms.
