Article Abstract

Objective: To explore the feasibility of transferring the skills from the AccuTouch flexible endoscopy simulator colonoscopy training to clinical practices.

Methods: The novice colonoscopies were divided into 2 groups.Group A (control group) including 4 trainees for traditional training, Group B (experimental group) including 4 trainees for simulator training. After training, we compared the number of cases for achieving independent competence, assisted competence and incompetence in the first ten patients.

Results: No significant differences existed between two groups in terms of age and gender (both P > 0.05). Significant differences existed in educational background and the controlled group was better than the experimental group (Z = -2.005, P = 0.04). The cases of independent completion, assisted competence and incompetence of the control and experimental groups were 2, 4, 9 and 21, 29, 15 respectively. Rank tests show that the simulator training was better than the traditional counterpart (average rank: 56.14 vs 24.86, Z = -6.393, P = 0.00).

Conclusions: The skills acquired from AccuTouch Endoscopy Simulator may be well transferred into the clinical colonoscopy environment. It clearly supports the scheme of integrating simulator training into colonoscopic education curricula.

The Buchwald-Hartwig (B-H) reaction graph, a novel graph for deep learning models, is designed to simulate the interactions among multiple chemical components in the B-H reaction by representing each reactant as an individual node within a custom-designed reaction graph, thereby capturing both single-molecule and intermolecular relationship features. Trained on a high-throughput B-H reaction data set, B-H Reaction Graph Neural Network (BH-RGNN) achieves near-state-of-the-art performance with an score of 0.971 while maintaining low computational costs.

Objectives: to assess nursing students' skills in surgical wound care before and after clinical simulation.

Methods: a quasi-experimental before-and-after study was conducted with 50 nursing students at a federal public university. Data collection occurred in three stages: assessment of students'skills before clinical simulation; application of the simulated scenario; assessment of skills after clinical simulation.
