Summary: This study aims to objectively quantify the differences in vascular palpation skills between high performers, mid performers, and low performers. Three types of palpation metrics (time, force, and location) were examined and demonstrated significant differences between high performers and low performers. These metrics could potentially be used for structured and standardized palpation skills training, improving patient outcomes.

Summary: A realistic, auto-adaptive, and visually plausible simulator has been developed in this study to predict the global deformation of vessels induced by the robotic catheter's contact and cyclic heartbeat motion during endovascular interventions. The simulator uses a Position-based Dynamics approach for vessel modeling and Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for auto-adaptive calibration. Experimental comparisons and end-user evaluation indicate high accuracy and user satisfaction with the simulator, making it suitable for autonomous navigation of robotic catheters.

Summary: Aortic disease has a significant impact on quality of life, and the involvement of the aortic arch during surgery requires the preservation of blood supply to the brain. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest is commonly used, but neurological injury remains high. A three-way cannulation approach has been successful for aortic arch surgery, and simulations have shown benefits in terms of hemodynamic and energetic parameters.

Summary: This study aims to evaluate the effects of changing consultation start time and patient arrival on wait times and crowding in an outpatient clinic with a dual practice system. The analysis based on a discrete event simulation model shows that early consultation start time that matches patient arrival time and staggered arrival could significantly reduce the overall clinic turnaround time and the number of patients waiting during peak hours. This finding is important for narrowing the wait time gap between public and private patients.

Summary: This study aimed to improve the treatment process in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) by conducting ECPR simulations. The use of an ECMO trainer and a 3-dimensionally-printed heart allowed for detailed study of the medical and surgical phases, resulting in a significant decrease in cannulation times. However, further research is needed to assess the impact on patient survival.

Summary: This study developed a simulator for cephalic venipuncture in cats, which was validated through questionnaires from undergraduate students and experienced veterinarians. The simulator was deemed effective for training venipuncture skills by both groups, and was considered an important educational tool for students and veterinarians, helping to reduce the use of live animals in practical classes.

Summary: Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) is a public health approach that involves early intervention for substance use through universal screening. SBIRT was taught to nurse practitioners, nurse anesthetists, and dental hygiene students in an interprofessional educational setting. A qualitative analysis of 10 SBIRT data sets collected over 4 years revealed six identified themes through a nominal group consensus method. The results indicated that students expressed a desire for more training in motivational interviewing techniques and recognized the importance of interprofessional collaboration throughout their professional educational programs.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the use of MyDispense software improved student learning outcomes and preceptor assessments in community pharmacy practice settings. Students who completed exercises before the rotation received higher scores in patient counseling skills, indicating a positive impact of simulation-based software on learner preparedness.

Summary: A simulation approach was developed to test the hypothesis that small displacements occurring during exposure to blood flow lead to intermediate NSSA values in adherent microbubbles. Strong linear correlation between simulation and experimental results suggest that the simulation is reproducing the physical interactions in experimental data.

Summary: The study introduces the use of hyperelastic polymer devices at the distal tip of microcatheters to improve dexterity during endovascular navigation, overcoming challenges faced by neurointerventionists. The devices provide active steerability and enable guidewire-free navigation, access, and coil deployment in vivo, demonstrating potential for solving difficult access and treatment problems in endovascular intervention.
