Endodontic access cavity training using artificial teeth and Simodont® dental trainer: A comparison of student performance and acceptance

AbstractIntroductionCompetency in endodontic access cavity preparation requires key motor skills, good conceptual understanding, along with an appreciation of 3‐dimensional pulp chamber anatomy. These are traditionally learned using natural or artificial teeth (AT) mounted within a phantom head (PH). Simodont® (Nissin Dental Products INC, JPN) is a haptic virtual reality simulator (HVRS) and offers an alternative to AT for training.AimsThis study aimed to (1) evaluate the evolution in the performance of learners trained to prepare access cavities incorporating Simodont (test group) against learners trained on AT mounted within PH (control group), (2) determine learner acceptability of HVRS.MethodologyForty dental students, with no prior endodontic training, were given instruction and video demonstration of access cavity preparation using a mandibular left 1st molar AT (LL6). Thereafter, they prepared an access cavity on PH mounted AT LL6. This provided a baseline record of performance. Participants were randomly assigned to the test or control groups. The test group (n = 22) trained using Simodont: preparing a virtual tooth LL6 for a period of 60 minutes with instructor feedback. The control group (n = 18) trained using AT LL6 on a PH for 60 minutes with instructor feedback. Subsequently, learners from both groups prepared an access cavity on an AT LL6 in a PH. This provided a re‐evaluation record. Two calibrated examiners graded the teeth from the baseline and re‐evaluation using rubric criteria; assigning scores with a grading range from 0 to 17. The examiners were blinded to which group the teeth belonged. Change in performance was determined by calculating the difference in assessment grade from baseline to re‐evaluation. Scores which improved by 3 or more units were labelled improvers, all other scores were described as non‐improvers.ResultsWithin the test group, the numbers of improvers were 5 (23%) versus 7 (39%) in the control group The difference failed to indicate statistical significance (p = .315). The Cohen kappa values for intra and inter‐examiner agreement were 1.00 and 0.73 respectively.ConclusionThe evolution of skills in learners trained using Simodont is comparable to those trained using AT. It is, therefore, reasonable to use Simodont, which was acceptable to learners, as an adjunct to AT for endodontic access cavity training.

VS 10 - HPB Pancreas preserving total duodenectomy, How I do it

Abstract Background Patients with duodenal polyps particularly patients with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome (FAP) are at increased risk of developing duodenal cancer. Pancreas preserving total duodenectomy is an alternative to pancreaticoduodenectomy. Advantages over pancreaticoduodenectomy include: shorter operative time, fewer and safer anastomoses, allowing future endoscopic surveillance and preserving the entire pancreas with both exocrine and endocrine functions. The complication rate is comparable if not fewer than pancreaticoduodenectomy. Here, we present our standardised operative technique for this procedure. Method This a video presentation of the technique of this novel procedure. The video has been edited with added narrative comments on the different steps of the procedure. Results This is a video presentation of the technique of pancreas preserving total duodenectomy in a patient with familial adenomatous polyposis syndrome to treat Spiegelman IV duodenal polyps. Conclusion The PPTD provides a feasible and probably favourable if not better alternative to classical pancreaticoduodenectomy particularly in patients with FAP syndrome.

VS 01 - BN Chronic loop gastrojejunostomy volvulus masquerading as a Crohn’s stricture

Abstract Background A video presentation of a case of chronic loop gastrojejunostomy volvulus masquerading as a Crohn's stricture. Method 61 year old female with a previous loop gastrojejunostomy and subsequent ileocaecal resection for Crohn's related pyloric stenosis and terminal ileal stricture. Acute worsening of post-prandial pain and vomiting 5 years later, re-investigation revealed a stenosed gastrojejunostomy thought to be Crohn's related. Results Intraoperative volvulus of the gastrojejunostomy was demonstrated related to traction forces resulting in the migration of the duodeno-jejunal flexure to the right of midline. The gastrojejunostomy was revised to a Roux-en-Y configuration with relief of mechanical obstruction. Conclusion An ileocaecal resection may create unexpected traction forces

VS 02 - HPB Inter-fascial Catheter with Local Anaesthetic Infusion in Hepato-biliary Surgery (HILA) – A Video Guide to Catheter Placement

Abstract Background Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) offers effective pain control after open hepato-biliary surgery, however it is associated with several limitations that delay post-operative recovery. Inter-fascial catheter with local anaesthetic infusion (IF) is an effective, safe and cost-saving alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) following open liver and biliary surgery, with significant decrease in post-operative vasopressor requirements, and length of critical care and hospital stay. Method This video presentation outlines current clinical evidence with local data from Nottingham University Hospital, relevant clinical anatomy of the inter-fascial plane, intra-operative placement techniques, tips and tricks as well as troubleshooting in the event of a catheter related complication. Results The inter-fascial catheters can be placed in the transversus abdominis or posterior rectus plane based on the type of skin incision to achieve optimal post-operative pain control. It is associated with a low technical failure rate. Conclusion Inter-fascial catheter with local anaesthetic infusion is an effective, safe and cost-saving technique associated with significant decrease in post-operative vasopressor requirement, and length of critical care and hospital stay.

VS 03 - BN Laparoscopic Excision of Aortic Schwannoma

Abstract Background This video presentation describes a laparoscopic approach to the excision of a large retroperitoneal cyst in a 39 year old female presenting with generalised abdominal pain. The patient had a background of Type 2 Diabetes, as well as a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Method The patient presented acutely with the above symptoms. CT and MRI both confirmed a large retroperitoneal cyst measuring 8x9cm. EUS was performed showed a thin walled cyst and a normal pancreas. FNA cytology was benign, hydatid serology was negative Results MDT decision was to go ahead with formal surgical resection. Laparoscopic excision of the cyst was performed, demonstrating that the pancreas was displaced anteriorly, with the coeliac axis displaced to the right. The cyst did not involve the pancreas or adrenal gland. Post operative histology found the cyst to be an aortic schwannoma. Conclusion This video demonstrates the complex retroperitoneal dissection that can be performed laparoscopically. The patient was discharged on post op day 8 with surveillance follow up

BS SO13 - Reversal of OAGB- Audit and steps of surgery

Abstract Background OAGB is a well-established procedure that gives good outcomes in terms of benefits from obesity related morbidity and weight loss. The nutritional complications of OAGB are not common. The most common complication for OAGB is bile reflux which can be controlled with medical or surgical management. The need to convert OAGB to normal anatomy or sleeve does not arise frequently. It is needed in a few patients. It is a technically challenging procedure and should be done in expert centers Method We would like to present a video on the steps of reversal surgery. We recorded our procedure and used imovies software to edit it demonstrating each step of surgery with a written commentary for ease of understanding We would also take this opportunity to present an audit of our series of patients. We gathered our operative sheets from December 2016- Jan 2024. There were 12 patients who needed conversion or reversal. 10 needed conversion to RYGB for bile reflux. 2 needed reversal to normal anatomy. Results High quality video presentation with narration talking about steps of surgery and results from our audit Conclusion Reversal surgery is a technically challenging procedure. It should be done in expert center. Also, since this surgery is not needed frequently, it needs expert surgeons.

Manual Uterine Aspiration Simulation for Emergency Medicine Learners.

Manual uterine aspiration is a potentially lifesaving procedure for treating patients with hemorrhagic complications of early pregnancy loss. While early pregnancy loss is a common diagnosis seen in the emergency department, manual uterine aspiration education is lacking for emergency medicine physicians. We designed a 90-minute procedural skills training session for 30 emergency medicine learners. The session included a brief lecture and video demonstration, followed by two micro-skills stations before finally completing the simulated procedure in its entirety. At each station, learners were asked to verbalize the steps and landmarks for the procedure before performing them on models. Participants completed a combined pre-post survey evaluating their perceived knowledge of the procedure and self-efficacy in performing the procedure. Thirty learners who participated in the workshop were surveyed, with a 100% response rate. All participants reported increased comfort with the procedure and knowledge about the procedure. All participants completed a successful simulated procedure. Participants also indicated increased interest in learning more about manual uterine aspiration and its potential application within the emergency medicine physician's scope of practice. We developed a workshop to train emergency medicine learners in manual uterine aspiration to stop life-threatening hemorrhage in the setting of early pregnancy loss. The workshop was well received by learners and increased their self-efficacy and desire for additional training with this procedure. Similar curricula should be tried at other institutions.

Ask Me

In this poster, we share ongoing research into the use of realistic AI-generated avatars for education in a large Australian business school. These highly realistic avatars have been used as educational presenters to provoke critical discussions on ethical AI by immersing students in text-to-video technology (Vallis et al., 2024). From this initial study, an emergent typology for avatars in educational media has been developed, to help educators design for teaching and learning based on learning purposes and modes of delivery Britton & Vallis, 2023; Vallis & Britton, 2024). Such practical, theoretical guidance in designing, developing, and deploying AI in education is much needed (Dawson et al., 2023). Drawing upon learnings to date, we further explore synthetic media designs for effective and ethical use in education. The poster presents three use cases of synthetic media with QR codes to demonstrate their application and to facilitate discussion at the conference. An additional fourth QR code will be added to gather participant feedback on which use case they found most compelling and educational, as well as their reasons for their preferences. The first use case explores short video presentations, where synthetic media offers students a choice of accents, voices, and faces to present educational content (Dao et al., 2021). This approach aims to free teacher time for more learner guidance and communication, potentially enhancing learning outcomes. Video-based learning can enhance student engagement and understanding by providing flexible, interactive, and visually stimulating experiences (Sabli? et al., 2021). The second use case is ‘Ask me’, a trial of a realistic avatar that answers frequently asked questions. Multimodal AI, like GPT-4o, with integrated voice, video, and audio capabilities, can simulate real-world scenarios for educational scenarios with engaging and realistic experiences (Mollick & Mollick, 2023). Future use cases may include specific learning activities such as role-play and rehearsal. Multimodal feedback on student progress is presented in the third use case. A lifelike digital representation of a teacher has been designed to closely mimic a real human teacher’s appearance and expressions. Simple video feedback, generated based on student interactions with university systems and combined with a teacher’s text, is sent via email to enhance engagement. This trial is designed to augment feedback, rather than replace interaction between students and teachers (Bozkurt & Sharma, 2023). By presenting these use cases, we aim to provide practical insights and stimulate discussions on the ethical and effective use of synthetic media in education. Our preliminary findings indicate benefits to using AI-generated avatars, if the ethical implications and the quality of human-AI interactions are carefully considered in the learning design (Vallis et al., 2024).

Approaches to Identifying Emotions and Affections During the Museum Learning Experience in the Context of the Future Internet

The Future Internet aims to revolutionize digital interaction by integrating advanced technologies like AI and IoT, enabling a dynamic and resilient network. It envisions emotionally intelligent systems that can interpret and respond to human feelings, creating immersive, empathy-driven learning experiences. This evolution aspires to form a responsive digital ecosystem that seamlessly connects technology and human emotion. This paper presents a computational model aimed at enhancing the emotional aspect of learning experiences within museum environments. The model is designed to represent and manage affective and emotional feedback, with a focus on how emotions can significantly impact the learning process in a museum context. The proposed model seeks to identify and quantify emotions during a visitor’s engagement with museum exhibits. To achieve this goal, we primarily explored the following: (i) methods and techniques for assessing and recognizing emotional responses in museum visitors, (ii) feedback management strategies based on the detection of visitors’ emotional states. Then, the methodology was tested on 1000 cases via specific questionnaire forms, along with the presentation of images and short videos, and the results of data analysis are reported. The findings contribute toward establishing a comprehensive methodology for the identification and quantification of the emotional state of museum visitors.

Enhancement of helping skills using videos and blended learning in social and health care education

ABSTRACT Students in social and health care education often encounter difficulties translating the concepts in communication into the complexities of interpersonal dynamics and diversified contexts in practicums. Most previous resources were developed in English, and some Chinese materials were not up to date. In this project, social work teachers produced two sets of videos and initiated coursework revamping by engaging students in producing more communication skills videos. An e-learning community has been set up for the storage of teacher’s demonstration videos and quality student videos. The video was applied in skill practice courses and disseminated to social work practicum supervisors and students during the pandemic, as their face-to-face learning opportunities were restricted. Students reported improvements in levels of skills and competence after watching the videos. It shows that videos on communication skills can be further promoted as a blended learning strategy in professional practice training.

Effectiveness of a toothbrushing intervention utilizing puzzle-solving game assisted with visual aids among adolescents: A single-blind randomized controlled trial

BackgroundMaintaining good oral hygiene through effective toothbrushing is crucial for preventing dental issues in adolescents. Conventional oral health education (OHE) and video demonstration approach are passive means of OHE, that often fail to engage this age group. This study introduced an innovative approach to OHE by combining jigsaw puzzle and visual aids to improve oral health outcomes among adolescents.ObjectiveTo assess the effectiveness of Jigsaw Puzzle-assisted Visual Reinforcement (JPVR) technique on toothbrushing knowledge, practices, and clinical oral health parameters compared to conventional OHE and video demonstration among adolescents.Material and methodsThis single-blind randomized controlled trial involved 195 adolescents aged 12-15 years randomly allocated to three groups: conventional OHE (control), video demonstration and JPVR. Interventions were administered, and assessments were carried out at baseline, 1 month, and 3 months. Prior to the start of the study, the oral hygiene aids used were standardized. Outcomes were measured using a self-designed, validated closed-ended questionnaire to assess the toothbrushing knowledge and practices. This was followed by clinical examination carried out using gingival and plaque indices by a blinded examiner.ResultsAt baseline, groups had comparable knowledge, practices, and clinical parameters. At 3 months, the JPVR group demonstrated significantly higher knowledge, better practices, lower plaque, and reduced gingival scores compared to other groups.ConclusionsThe JPVR technique improved toothbrushing knowledge, practices, and clinical oral health parameters among adolescents. This approach fostered active learning and knowledge retention and is a cost-effective strategy for promoting positive oral health outcomes among children.

Learning how to explore spiritual aspects in encounters with patients with chronic pain: a pre-test post-test trial on the effectiveness of a web-based learning intervention

BackgroundIntegrating spiritual aspects into treatment plans can release essential resources for coping with chronic pain. However, some spiritual aspects may also induce distress and hinder the coping process. There is a lack of evidence regarding how to perform the clinical tasks of exploring spiritual aspects and of instruments assessing related competencies. Therefore, we developed a web-based learning module to provide education on the subject alongside corresponding assessment instruments. The module presents the InSpiRe (Integration of Spirituality and/or Religion in patient encounters) protocol. The instruments encompass cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions.MethodsThis paper aims to determine (i) the learning effects associated with completing the web-based spiritual-care learning module and (ii) the reliability and validity of the instruments employed. To address these aims, we conducted a pre-test/post-test trial with N = 32 randomly selected fourth-year medical students. During the pre-test, we assessed the students’ knowledge, attitudes, and self-efficacy regarding exploring spiritual aspects. For this purpose, we developed a short-answer knowledge test, an attitude questionnaire, and a self-efficacy scale. Additionally, the students explored spiritual aspects with a simulated patient portraying a person with chronic pain. Three trained raters evaluated the students’ performances using a self-developed scale. In the intervention phase, the students completed the 45-minute learning module on a personal computer. The module presented InSpiRe-related content as text and step-by-step video demonstrations, including hints that denote critical actions. The subsequent post-test was identical to the pre-test.ResultsThe internal consistency was suitable for all respective instruments, and there was an indication of solid validity of the performance test. After completing the spiritual care learning module, the students showed statistically significant increases in knowledge scores and significant positive shifts in their attitudes and levels of self-efficacy regarding exploring spiritual aspects. They also attained significantly higher performance scores in the same regard.ConclusionsCompleting the spiritual-care module is associated with meaningful learning effects on cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions related to exploring spiritual aspects, as demonstrated in the post-test conducted shortly after the intervention. Due to good reliability and validity scores, the self-developed instruments can be applied appropriately.

The Difference Knowledge and Skill to do BLS with Video and Demonstration Methods in Youth Organizations RW 04 Ambengan Tengah Surabaya

Tim Gerak Cepat (TGC) is one of Surabaya's command centers that serves various real time reports related to medical emergencies, one of which is cardiac arrest. Not every time TGC can arrive to provide rapid assistance, which can be influenced by inadequate road access to the location. This causes the provision of help including help for victims of cardiac arrest to be delayed. The objectives is to analyze the video effectiveness and demonstration methods on the ability to perform BLS on youth organizations RW 04 Ambengan Tengah Surabaya. Using pre-experimental using Two Group Pretest-Posttest Design. The study population was all youth organizations in RW 04 Ambengan Tengah Surabaya. The research sample amounted to 36 adolescents who were selected by random sampling by meeting the inclusion criteria. The data analysis used was the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann Whitney test. The Wilcoxon test showed that both methods could improve knowledge about BLS with a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05) and could improve adolescents' skills in performing BLS with a significance value in the video group of 0.002 while in the demonstration group it was 0.001 (p<0.05). The different results score pre-test post-test knowledge of both methods with the Mann Whitney test showed a significance value in 0.129 (p <0.05) while the skill different score pre-test post-test had a significance 0.500 (p>0.05) value . This shows that between the video and demonstration methods there is no significant difference.

VisConductor: Affect-Varying Widgets for Animated Data Storytelling in Gesture-Aware Augmented Video Presentation

Augmented video presentation tools provide a natural way for presenters to interact with their content, resulting in engaging experiences for remote audiences, such as when a presenter uses hand gestures to manipulate and direct attention to visual aids overlaid on their webcam feed. However, authoring and customizing these presentations can be challenging, particularly when presenting dynamic data visualization (i.e., animated charts). To this end, we introduce VisConductor, an authoring and presentation tool that equips presenters with the ability to configure gestures that control affect-varying visualization animation, foreshadow visualization transitions, direct attention to notable data points, and animate the disclosure of annotations. These gestures are integrated into configurable widgets, allowing presenters to trigger content transformations by executing gestures within widget boundaries, with feedback visible only to them. Altogether, our palette of widgets provides a level of flexibility appropriate for improvisational presentations and ad-hoc content transformations, such as when responding to audience engagement. To evaluate VisConductor, we conducted two studies focusing on presenters (𝑁=11) and audience members (𝑁=11). Our findings indicate that our approach taken with VisConductor can facilitate interactive and engaging remote presentations with dynamic visual aids. Reflecting on our findings, we also offer insights to inform the future of augmented video presentation tools.

3D digital technology in upcycling apparel design: the creation of a modular redesign system and designer perspectives

ABSTRACT Despite advancements in sustainable apparel design, upcycling practices still face challenges limiting creativity and efficiency. This study develops a Modular Redesign System (MRS) using 3D digital technology to improve the upcycling process. The MRS was created with CLO3D and Aftereffects, producing ten redesign samples and demonstration videos. In-depth interviews with South Korean upcycling apparel designers were conducted to assess the system’s perceived effectiveness and explore key issues in upcycling design. The MRS involves four stages: Selection, Virtualisation, Virtual Ideation, and Construction and Fitting. Findings highlight the MRS’s ability to enhance ideation, reduce material waste, and save time and costs, offering practical solutions to current challenges in apparel redesign. The MRS also shows potential for mass customisation, serving as an effective communication tool for personalised upcycling services. This study bridges a gap in the literature by integrating 3D virtual simulation with modular design to advance sustainable and efficient upcycling practices.

Optimizing Emergency Department Length of Stay and Quality of Care: A Quality Improvement Project.

Background Patients' long length of stay (LOS) in the emergency department (ED) is a common measure of quality of care that could be a cause of increased morbidity and mortality. This quality improvement project (QIP) aimed to identify causes of long LOS and to improve common causes such as long consultation times. Methodology Over two months, three plan, do, study, and act (PDSA) cycles were conducted aiming to identify causes of long ED LOS and improve common causes that extended ED LOS beyond four hours. Additionally, the projectaimed to reduce the time taken from requesting a consultation from another specialty until it was completed and documented to an average of 60 minutes. Main interventions included raising awareness of staff and administration through video presentations, printed posters, direct contact, and optimizing the electronic health records system to audit performance. Results From PDSA cycle 1 through PDSA cycle 3, average consultation times decreased from 91 to 65 minutes. Common organization-related causes of long LOS included pending radiology or laboratory investigations, awaiting inpatient admission, and awaiting consultations from other specialties. Physician-related factors included delay in documentation likely resulting from heavy workload. Pending investigations and admissions were factors that could be amended with better administrative control. Conclusions A multifaceted approach that tackles physician-related and organization-related factors could be a necessity to improve LOS and the quality of care in the ED. Having staff and administration aware of targets and performance along with utilizing the electronic health records system to audit performance and increase efficiency are beneficial in improving the LOS in the ED.

DOKTER KECIL: STUDENT EMPOWERMENT THROUGH LEARNING FIRST AID SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE

Introduction: Knowledge and skills of simple first aid are packaged by the UKS program through the role of Dokter Kecil. Interactive learning using video, demonstration and simulation activities has increased first aid knowledge and skills in primary school students. The aim of this community service program was to increase first aid knowledge and skills of wound care, nosebleed and syncope in school age children. Methods: The community service was conducted at SDN Komplek Kenjeran II in Surabaya, Indonesia, involving 40 students from grades 3 to 5. The intervention was provided in a 4-hour session, using video demonstrations and hands-on simulation. Pre-test and post-test questionnaires measured students' knowledge and attitudes before and after the training. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: The demographic characteristics of participants were dominated by the age 10 years (37.5%), in fourth grade (42.5%) and female (62.5%). The average pre-test knowledge score was 65 and pre-test attitude score was 76.4. After doing interactive learning, demonstrations and simulations, the average student post-test score experienced a significant increase, namely 84.5 in the knowledge and 89.7 in the attitude. Conclusion: The Dokter Kecil program significantly improved students’ skills and knowledge in managing wound care, nosebleeds, and syncope. This empowerment program demonstrates the effectiveness of interactive learning in fostering critical first aid skills in school-aged children. Regular updates to the training content are recommended to ensure ongoing relevance and efficacy.

Classic and Visceral-Sparing Complete Pelvic Peritonectomy for Peritoneal Surface Malignancies: A Video Demonstration in Female Patients.

Cytoreductive surgery (CRS) with or without hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy has become standard for resectable peritoneal surface malignancies. CRS aims to achieve complete resection of macroscopic disease through peritonectomy procedures and visceral resections. The pelvis is very frequently involved in peritoneal malignancies, making surgical techniques that ensure complete tumor removal an essential part of CRS. This is best achieved through an enbloc pelvic peritonectomy, which frequently includes a hysterectomy and bilateral oophorectomy in women. We created a video to review technical steps and exposure tips to achieve a complete cytoreduction of the pelvis in female patients with enbloc resection of the entire pelvic peritoneum, including the cul-de-sac, the uterus, and the adnexa, with ('classic pelvic peritonectomy') or without ('visceral-sparing pelvic peritonectomy') rectosigmoid resection. The creation of a protective ileostomy in classic pelvic peritonectomy is routine in many centers, while other centers advocate only selective and sparing use of ileostomy. In our center, protective ileostomy is used selectively and is therefore not included in the video. In the first part of the video, we review the rationale, indications, and steps, while in the second part, we show a practical demonstration of both a classic and a visceral-sparing pelvic peritonectomy in female patients. Complete pelvic peritonectomy can be achieved both with or without enbloc resection of the rectosigmoid colon. This technique is an essential part of CRS, and mastery of the technique can help the likelihood of achieving complete tumor removal in advanced or complex involvement of the pelvis.
