3D Printing in Clinical Radiology: The MRT Experience
3D Printing is an exciting tool in medicine since it has shown to be useful in medical education and for surgical planning. However, 3D printing is not commonplace in medical imaging (MI) departments. One of the main obstacles to widespread usage of 3D printing in MI is that most 3D printable raw materials are not radiologically accurate when the scanned images are visualized. To solve this issue and to run a successful 3D printing program in MI, successful collaboration by a multi-disciplinary team is required.

Use of three-dimensional printing in the development of optimal cardiac CT scanning protocols.
Authors: Sun Z Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) is increasingly used in medical applications with most of the studies focusing on its applications in medical education and training, pre-surgical planning and simulation, and doctor-patient communication. An emerging area of utilising 3D printed models lies in the development of cardiac computed tomography (CT) protocols for visualisation and detection of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, 3D printed heart and cardiovascular models have been shown potential value in the evaluation of coronary plaques and coronary stents, aortic diseases and detection of pulmonary e...

Empathy across cultures – one size does not fit all: from the ego-logical to the eco-logical of relational empathy
AbstractEmpathy is extolled in Western healthcare and medical education as an exemplary quality to cultivate in trainees and providers. Yet it remains an elusive and inadequately understood attribute. It posits a “one size fits all” unidimensional attribute applicable across contexts with scant attention given to its multifaceted dimensions in intercultural contexts. In this article, we uncloak the shortcomings of this conventional empathy in intercultural settings, and instead propound an expanded “re lational empathy”.

‘Fair funding’ must also mean sufficient funding, say education unions
Following the publication of the Government’s final proposals for its long-awaited National Funding Formula (NFF), organisations representing school staff, teachers and leaders – ATL, GMB, NAHT, NUT, UNISON and Unite – have updated the schoolcuts.org.uk website to reflect the funding losses facing each school in England. The picture is extremely bleak.  The Government has accused funding campaigners of scaremongering, but the updated figures are worse than previously predicted.  The website, which now uses funding data published by the Department for Education, suggests that 98% of schools face a real terms...

Competition and corruption in education: a lethal combination for academic integrity
“If you take me back to 1995, when [cheating] was completely and totally pervasive, I’d probably do it again.” (Lance Armstrong, BBC Sport 2015) It is too simplistic to place all of the blame for cheating on individuals. While individuals do need to take personal responsibility for their actions, their behaviour is often symptomatic of wider and deeply entrenched patterns in society. As this Call for Papers suggests, when the two toxic pressures of competition and corruption intersect, it cannot be surprising that scholars at all levels of the educational spectrum may choose the ‘easy’ path of cheating to gain ac...

Higher education staff have ‘yet again kept the sector going’
UNISON’s higher education members met today for their first national conference since before the start of the pandemic. They gathered, virtually, to discuss a host of challenges facing their members – not least those related to their pay and pensions. Chairing the conference, UNISON vice-president Kath Owen said: “The pandemic has shown the extent to which the country relies on public sector workers, keeping society functioning, and higher education workers keeping the universities functioning. “And I know each and every one of you will have made your own incredible contribution during this most difficult of times....

The creation of virtual teeth with and without tooth pathology for a virtual learning environment in dental education
ConclusionThe creation and use of virtual teeth in dental education appears to be feasible but is still in development; it offers many opportunities for the creation of teeth with various pathologies, although an evaluation of its use in dental education is still required.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLIYuXlUS3k It ain’t tox, but . . .: The must-see video’s of the week were included in a fascinating post by Ed Yong on the National Geographic site. They illustrate what happens on a microscopic level as a mosquito stings and searches for blood vessels. The clip above shows the surprisingly complex proboscis probing for its next meal. In the clip below, it strikes pay dirt.

Serendipitous Diagnosis of a Ganglioneuroma in a Diagnostic Medical Sonography Educational Setting
This report describes an unanticipated finding in an asymptomatic volunteer scanned in a sonography education program that led to the diagnosis of a rare, benign tumor consistent with a ganglioneuroma. The importance of maintaining a proper protocol for addressing incidental pathological findings for volunteers in the educational setting is emphasized.

Cognitive load predicts point-of-care ultrasound simulator performance
DiscussionIn this proof-of-principle study, the combination of demographic and cognitive load measures provided more sensitive metrics to predict ultrasound simulator performance. Performance assessments which include cognitive load can help differentiate between levels of expertise in simulation environments, and may serve as better predictors of skill transfer to clinical practice.

MPs call for multi-billion pound education cash boost
UNISON has welcomed MPs’ call for a “multi-billion pound cash injection” into education in England as highlighting “the true scale of the funding cuts to schools and colleges”. The call for the investment, together with a proper, long-term funding strategy, comes in a House of Commons education select committee report on education funding in England. Education in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is a devolved matter. UNISON and other education unions, as well as headteachers, have been warning about the effect of budget cuts by the Westminster government. The investigation by the Commons committee found that ...
