Background: Transition to residency programs frequently use simulation to promote clinical skills but place limited emphasis on non-clinical skills. We conducted a scoping review to determine how simulation is being used in transition to residency programs and the key non-clinical skills addressed by simulation activities and tools in these programs.
Methods: We searched PubMed, Scopus, and Embase to identify articles addressing transition to residency, simulation, and non-clinical skills/attributes. Two authors independently screened all abstracts and full-text articles and identified non-clinical attributes elicited in each study. Using descriptive statistics, we characterized the simulation activities and tools and the number and type of non-clinical attributes captured in the programs. Using analysis of variance, we compared the number of non-clinical attributes elicited based on the number of simulation activities used and compared the number of non-clinical attributes elicited based on the number of simulation tools used.
Results: We identified 38 articles that met the study criteria. We characterized simulation activities as mock paging (37%), case-based scenarios (74%), and/or procedural skills training (39%). We found that the most common simulation tools were standardized patients (64.8%), and the most elicited non-clinical attributes were communication skills, critical thinking, and teamwork. Using more simulation activity categories or simulation tools did not increase the number of non-clinical skills elicited.
Conclusion: Simulation is used broadly in transition to residency programs but provides training in a few of the non-clinical skills required for a successful transition. Incorporating more simulation activities or tools does not increase the number of non-clinical attributes elicited, illustrating the importance of developing more targeted simulation activities to promote non-clinical skills more effectively.

True total-body and extended axial field-of-view (AFOV) PET/CT with 1m or more of body coverage are now commercially available and dramatically increase system sensitivity over conventional AFOV PET/CT. The Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra (Quadra), with an AFOV of 106cm, potentially allows use of significantly lower administered radiopharmaceuticals as well as reduced scan times. The aim of this study was to optimise acquisition protocols for routine clinical imaging with FDG on the Quadra the prioritisation of reduced activity given physical infrastructure constraints in our facility.

This study presents an advanced dynamic finite element (FE) model of multiple components of the breast to examine the biomechanical impact of different types of physical activities and activity intensity on the breast tissues. Using 4D scanning and motion capture technologies, dynamic data are collected during different activities. The accuracy of the FE model is verified based on relative mean absolute error (RMAE), and optimal material parameters are identified by using a validated stepwise grid search method.

Coral reef ecosystem is a crucial component of marine ecosystems and is undergoing severe degradation due to the combined dural impact of environmental changes and human activities. Soundscape technology is an innovative coral reef restoration approach that attracts fish to degraded reefs. Inspired by such technique, a five-dimensional mathematical dynamical model incorporating the asymmetric dispersal of parrotfish is formulated to characterize the dynamic interaction among macroalgae, coral, algal turf, and parrotfish in coral reef ecosystem.

Introduction: Fiber posts present significant challenges for nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, as improper removal may result in iatrogenic root perforation or even root fracture. Recently, robotic technology has attracted considerable attention in dentistry and active dental robotic (ADR) systems can perform procedures based on preset instructions, minimizing reliance on the dentist's experience. This case report describes the application of an ADR system for fiber post removal through an existing zirconia crown.

Introduction: Chronic inflammation leading to implant failure present major challenges in orthopedics, dentistry, and reconstructive surgery. Titanium alloys, while widely used, often provoke inflammatory complications. Zinc-doped calcium phosphate (CaP) coatings offer potential to enhance implant integration by improving corrosion resistance, bioactivity, and immunocompatibility.
