Handle with Care: Transformative Learning as Pedagogy in an Under-Resourced Health Care Context
Teach Learn Med. 2024 Apr 18:1-10. doi: 10.1080/10401334.2024.2332885. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIssue: A significant component of health professions education is focussed on students' exposure to the social determinants of health and the challenges that patients within the health care system face. An appropriate way to provide such exposure is through distributed clinical training. This usually entails students training in smaller groups along the continuum of care, away from tertiary academic hospitals. This also means students are away from their existing academic and social support systems. It is evident that knowl...

Exploring Educational Transformations Through the Innovative Flipped Learning Instruction Project (IFLIP) Symposium
Adv Physiol Educ. 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1152/advan.00027.2024. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe flipped classroom is an innovative pedagogy that shifts content delivery outside the classroom, utilizing in-class time for interactive learning. The pre-class and in-class activities in this framework encourage individualized learning and collaborative problem-solving among students, fostering engagement. The Innovative Flipped Learning Instruction Project (IFLIP) conducted faculty development workshops over four years, guiding STEM faculty in integrating flipped teaching (FT) into their courses. The research aimed to assess it...

Decreased risk of underdosing with continuous infusion versus intermittent administration of cefotaxime in patients with sickle cell disease and acute chest syndrome
by Keyvan Razazi, Enora Berti, Jerome Cecchini, Guillaume Carteaux, Anoosha Habibi, Pablo Bartolucci, Romain Arrestier, S égolène Gendreau, Nicolas de Prost, Anne Hulin, Armand Mekontso Dessap
ObjectiveUnderdosing of antibiotics is common in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD). We hypothesized that in critically-ill patients with SCD receiving cefotaxime during acute chest syndrome, the continuous infusion may outperform the intermittent administration in achieving pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets. DesignProspective before-after study. SettingsIntensive-care unit of a French teaching hospital and sickle cell d...

The value of invisible electrocardiography
Two or three decades ago, many considered the standard 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) similarly as theoretical physics was seen at the end of 19th century: of some practical use but dull since everything was known making noticeable advances impossible. Indeed, various medical schools stopped studying and teaching ECGs, believing that only diagnostics by standard equipment was of any value. (Source: Heart Rhythm)

Sleep quality and screen time among university professors: impact of emergency remote teaching amidst COVID-19 crisis
ConclusionThis study among university professors underscores the impact of screen time on sleep quality during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants faced poor sleep, largely influenced by heightened screen time due to ERT. Considering these findings, this study emphasizes the importance of curbing daytime screen exposure and abstaining from screens in the evening, especially for university professors reliant on technology for their professional responsibilities.

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2589: ST-TGR: Spatio-Temporal Representation Learning for Skeleton-Based Teaching Gesture Recognition
ngming Wang
Teaching gesture recognition is a technique used to recognize the hand movements of teachers in classroom teaching scenarios. This technology is widely used in education, including for classroom teaching evaluation, enhancing online teaching, and assisting special education. However, current research on gesture recognition in teaching mainly focuses on detecting the static gestures of individual students and analyzing their classroom behavior. To analyze the teacher’s gestures and mitigate the difficulty of single-target dynamic gesture recognition in multi-person teaching scenarios, this pape...

New initiative aims to bolster funding for scientists in war-torn Ukraine
WASHINGTON, D.C.—
For astrophysicist David Spergel, teaching at a summer school about data science in August 2023 in Ukraine was a “surreal” experience. At times, utterly normal—smart students and collegial dinners in the charming cobblestoned city of Lviv. But punctuated by sirens and cellphone alerts warning of Russian missile attacks that compelled attendees to seek refuge in bomb shelters. Spergel, president of
the Simons Foundation
, started to think there had to be something more the West could do to aid his Ukrainian colleagues.
Eight months later, that idea has blossomed into the Scienc...

Coping strategies of intensive care unit nurses reducing moral distress: A content analysis study
DISCUSSION: The intensive care unit nurses in dealing with ethical problems first try to solve the problem through discussion, but when they fail to resolve it peacefully, they resort to several coping strategies. Factors, such as increasing experience, lack of support from hospital managers and officials, poor communication between colleagues, the need to maintain hierarchy, fear of reprimand, and a sense of powerlessness, changed the nurses' preferred strategies. It is important for managers to provide a blame/punishment-free atmosphere for expression of ethical experiences; a supportive atmosphere in which staff can eng...
