Implementation and calibration of active small female and average male human body models using low-speed frontal sled tests
CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, this study is the first to concurrently calibrate and compare equivalently developed computational models of females and males in precrash and low-speed impacts. The modeling approach is capable of capturing the varied kinematics observed in the relaxed condition, which may be an important factor in studies focused on the effects of low-g vehicle dynamics on the occupant position. Finally, the computationally efficient modeling approach is imperative given the long duration (>500 ms) of the events simulated.PMID:36107808 | DOI:10.1080/15389588.2022.2114078 (Source: Traffic Injury Prevention)

Evaluating Ciliary Body Damage Induced by Blunt Low Speed Impact Using Finite Element Simulation
Conclusions:
The eye under frontal impact will result in lateral expansion, which increase the stretch force of the lens, zonules and ciliary body. This mechanism can be seen as the protection for retina. The boundary of ciliary body is the most vulnerable position, where angle recession and cyclodialyses cleft will occur before retina damage occurrence.
Translational Relevance:
The finite element model explains the blunt low speed impact induced ciliary body related injuries, which enables us to assess the ocular injury for low energy impact and better diagnosis and treatment in clinics. (Source: Journal of Craniofacial Surgery)

A Simple and Sustainable Exercise to Enhance Student Self-Reflection on Error-Making, Focus Support, and Guide Curricular Design
Teach Learn Med. 2022 Feb 23:1-8. doi: 10.1080/10401334.2022.2033981. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTProblem: Self-reflection is a critical component of professional development and clinical practice, but medical students' ability to self-reflect is typically limited. While inadequate self-reflection impacts future clinical decision-making, it may also adversely impact current learning through an inability to identify learning-behavior deficits. This may be exacerbated by common use of multiple-choice questions (MCQ) where incorrect responses provide less insight than other measures for students, faculty, or academic suppor...
