Knowledge level on the management of pediatric burn patients among physicians working in the emergency department.

Prognosis of burned child is heavily influenced by how they are treated in the first 24 h. This study aimed to assess the degree of knowledge of emergency department physicians about the pediatric burn patients. The study included 229 physicians (80 emergency medicine specialists, 84 pediatricians, and 65 general practitioners). The questions were organized into six categories, each based on the Turkish Ministry of Health's Burn Treatment Algorithm, American Burn Association criteria, and current literature: 1 - Etiology and Degree of Burn, 2 - Emergency Medical Intervention, 3 - Calculation of Burn Area and Fluid-electrolyte Treatment, 4 - Indications for Hospitalization in Burn Treatment Units, 5 - Judicial and Medical Liability, and 6 - Training Sufficiency and Demand for Burn Injury Training. Questionnaire form was sent to the participants through the WhatsApp application. The outcomes were rated as 75-100% good, 50%-75% moderate, and <50% poor. The overall knowledge level of physicians about pediatric burns was moderate, with a score of 57.65±10.13 (emergency medicine specialists: 60.11, pediatricians: 57.56, and general practitioners: 54.75). Emergency medical intervention scores (35.02±22.43) and burn treatment units and hospitalization indications scores (38.6±18.96) were both low. Despite having a statistically significant higher medical intervention score than the pediatricians and general practitioners, the knowledge level of the emergency medicine specialists was poor. As result, physicians practicing in the emergency department have a poor knowledge level about pediatric burns. Hence, pediatric burn education should be provided to all emergency department physicians.

Dissemination and implementation science resources, training, and scientific activities provided through CTSA programs nationally: Opportunities to advance D&I research and training capacity.

Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA) Program hubs are well-positioned to advance dissemination and implementation (D&I) research and training capacity nationally, though little is known about what D&I research support and services CTSAs provide. To address this gap, the CTSA Dissemination, Implementation, and Knowledge Transfer Working Group conducted an environmental scan of CTSAs (2017-2018). Of 67 CTSA institutions, we contacted 43 that previously reported delivering D&I research services. D&I experts from these institutions were emailed a survey assessing D&I resources, services, training, and scientific projects. Responses were categorized and double-coded by study authors using a content analysis approach. Thirty-five of the 43 D&I experts (81.4%) responded. Challenges to CTSAs in developing and supporting D&I science activities were related to inadequate D&I science workforce (45.7%) and lack of understanding of D&I science (25.7%). Services provided included consultation/mentoring programs (68%), pilot funding/grants (50%), and workshops/seminars/conferences (46%). Training and workforce development in D&I were frequently identified as future priorities. Recommendations included increase training to meet demand (68.6%), accessible D&I tools/resources (34.3%), greater visibility/awareness of D&I methods (34.3%), consultation services (22.9%), and expand D&I science workforce (22.9%). CTSAs have tremendous potential to support the advancement and impact of D&I science across the translational continuum. Despite the growing presence of D&I science in CTSAs, continued commitment and prioritization are needed from CTSA and institutional leadership to raise awareness of D&I science and its value, meet training demands, and develop necessary infrastructure for conducting D&I science.

The Growing Demand for Home Dialysis Therapies: Challenges and Potential Solutions

The End-Stage Renal Disease Treatment (ETC) Model, an aspect of the Advancing American Kidney Health Initiative implemented by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2019, is designed to shift the predominant in-center hemodialysis dialysis model in the United States to a home dialysis model. This shift represents a monumental change in the treatment of end stage kidney failure and is occurring amid a strained nursing workforce. The CMS Conditions for Coverage for dialysis facilities mandate registered nurse responsibility for the conduct of patients' home dialysis training, and the current nursing shortage presents challenges because the need for nephrology nurses will increase to meet the growing demand for home dialysis during the ETC implementation period. As the ETC Model is implemented in randomly selected dialysis facilities across the United States, nephrology nurses must have leading roles as full partners with CMS and other stakeholders for the mutual determination of short- and long-term solutions for meeting the growing home dialysis training demands.

Performance gains from adaptive eXtended Reality training fueled by artificial intelligence

While virtual, augmented, and mixed reality technologies are being used for military medical training and beyond, these component technologies are oftentimes utilized in isolation. eXtended Reality (XR) combines these immersive form factors to support a continuum of virtual training capabilities to include full immersion, augmented overlays that provide multimodal cues to personalize instruction, and physical models to support embodiment and practice of psychomotor skills. When combined, XR technologies provide a multi-faceted training paradigm in which the whole is greater than the sum of the constituent capabilities in isolation. When XR applications are adaptive, and thus vary operational stressors, complexity, learner assistance, and fidelity as a function of trainee proficiency, substantial gains in training efficacy are expected. This paper describes a continuum of XR technologies and how they can be coupled with numerous adaptation strategies and supportive artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to realize personalized, competency-based training solutions that accelerate time to proficiency. Application of this training continuum is demonstrated through a Tactical Combat Casualty Care training use case. Such AI-enabled XR training solutions have the potential to support the military in meeting their growing training demands across military domains and applications, and to provide the right training at the right time.

Quantifying Training and Game Demands of a National Basketball Association Season.

Purpose: There are currently no data describing combined practice and game load demands throughout a National Basketball Association (NBA) season. The primary objective of this study was to integrate external load data garnered from all on-court activity throughout an NBA season, according to different activity and player characteristics.Methods: Data from 14 professional male basketball players (mean ± SD; age, 27.3 ± 4.8 years; height, 201.0 ± 7.2 cm; body mass, 104.9 ± 10.6 kg) playing for the same club during the 2017–2018 NBA season were retrospectively analyzed. Game and training data were integrated to create a consolidated external load measure, which was termed integrated load. Players were categorized by years of NBA experience (1-2y, 3-5y, 6-9y, and 10 + y), position (frontcourt and backcourt), and playing rotation status (starter, rotation, and bench).Results: Total weekly duration was significantly different (p < 0.001) between years of NBA playing experience, with duration highest in 3–5 year players, compared with 6–9 (d = 0.46) and 10+ (d = 0.78) year players. Starters experienced the highest integrated load, compared with bench (d = 0.77) players. There were no significant differences in integrated load or duration between positions.Conclusion: This is the first study to describe the seasonal training loads of NBA players for an entire season and shows that a most training load is accumulated in non-game activities. This study highlights the need for integrated and unobtrusive training load monitoring, with engagement of all stakeholders to develop well-informed individualized training prescription to optimize preparation of NBA players.

Challenges to Engage Low-Skilled Adults in Education and Training: An International Perspective

The demand for adult education and training (AET) opportunities throughout the life course is substantial as labor markets often require workers to obtain advanced skills. AET opportunities are more often pursued by high-income and high-skilled workers than low-skilled or low-income workers. With the increased prominence of job automation and technological advances in the workforce, low-skilled workers are at risk for fewer opportunities within the labor market. These factors emphasize the importance of providing learning opportunities throughout the life course. In this mixed-methods study, we analyzed 2012/2014 data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) for the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden to compare participation rates in non-formal education (NFE) by high and low-skilled adults. Countries were selected based on qualitative findings that inform best practices. Additionally, to gain insights of policies and programs that promote NFE, international key informant interviews (n = 33) were conducted. AET policies and programs, along with barriers such as cost, motivation, and time, were explored with key informants. Findings include (1) aging and skills are negatively correlated in all nations of interest; (2) low-skilled adults are less likely to participate in NFE than their high-skilled counterparts; (3) low-skilled workers in Norway and the Netherlands are more likely to participate in NFE than their U.S. counterparts; and (4) NFE is often more acceptable to low-skilled adults due to previous negative experiences with formal education. Using these findings, we discuss successful AET programs in Nordic countries for overcoming barriers.

Professional training network: Knowledge management, innovation, and entrepreneurship

In the COVID-19 era, the traditional classroom was replaced by the electronic whiteboard, revealing a gap between academic, professional, and work training. The goal of this project was to answer this question: Are there significant differences between the knowledge management published in the literature regarding to the observations of the present study? To answer this question, a qualitative exploratory study was carried out with in-depth interviews and discourse analysis of three participants in a professional training network. The categories of training, knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurship were established as axes of the training agenda. A structure of categories and indicators was found that explain the differences between the training models. In relation to the literature consulted that highlights the transfer of knowledge between actors, the importance of technologies, devices, and networks for establishing compatibility between training demands and institutional and organizational resources is discussed in both, the checked literature, and the present study.

Level of Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet and Weight Status among Adolescent Female Gymnasts: A Cross-Sectional Study

Adolescent female gymnasts are a vulnerable population in terms of their diet, as their nutritional needs are higher due to their growth and high daily training demands. The Mediterranean diet (MD) is a well-known dietary pattern that is associated with a greater nutritional adequacy and a lower prevalence of overweight. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the degree of adherence to the MD among adolescent female athletes who participated in all disciplines of gymnastics in Greece, as well as to explore the potential correlations between MD adherence, body weight, and body mass index (BMI). A total of 269 female gymnasts (between 11–18 years old) completed the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED) and reported their weight and height. Approximately 10% of the participants were underweight and a mere 5.6% were classified as overweight. A high adherence to the MD was reported by 34.9% of the sample and this was correlated with a healthier BMI. Moreover, specific eating habits, such as eating nuts 2–3 times per week and eating fast-food less than once-weekly, were also associated with BMI. Athletes, parents, and coaches of gymnastics should be informed and educated regarding balanced nutrition habits. Future studies could evaluate adherence to MD, as well as the factors that influence the eating behaviors of adolescent female and male athletes in various sports.

Delay Analysis of Wireless Federated Learning Based on Saddle Point Approximation and Large Deviation Theory

Federated learning (FL) is a collaborative machine learning paradigm, which enables deep learning model training over a large volume of decentralized data residing in mobile devices without accessing clients’ private data. Driven by the ever increasing demand for model training of mobile applications or devices, a vast majority of FL tasks are implemented over wireless fading channels. Due to the time-varying nature of wireless channels, however, random delay occurs in both the uplink and downlink transmissions of FL. How to analyze the overall time consumption of a wireless FL task, or more specifically, a FL’s delay distribution, becomes a challenging but important open problem, especially for delay-sensitive model training. In this paper, we present a unified framework to calculate the approximate delay distributions of FL over arbitrary fading channels. Specifically, saddle point approximation, extreme value theory (EVT), and large deviation theory (LDT) are jointly exploited to find the approximate delay distribution along with its tail distribution, which characterizes the quality-of-service of a wireless FL system. Simulation results will demonstrate that our approximation method achieves a small approximation error, which vanishes with the increase of training accuracy.
