Abstract This study utilized a sequential mediating model to examine the role of motivation to learn and transfer self-efficacy in the relationships between perceived content validity, mentoring function, continuous learning work culture and intention to transfer learning. The sample comprized 429 final-year apprentices in Guangdong province, China (females = 69.9%, Engineering & Medicine = 69%, mean age = 20.99, SD = 1.60). The apprentices completed standardized measures of motivation to learn, transfer self-efficacy perceived content validity, mentoring function, and continuous learning work culture. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Results showed perceived content… More >

Abstract Background: The management of suspected critical congenital heart defects (CCHD) relies on timely echocardiographic diagnosis. The availability of experienced echocardiographers is limited or even non-existent in many hospitals with obstetric units. This study evaluates remote-mentored echocardiography performed by physicians without experience in imaging of congenital heart defects (CHD). Methods: The setup included a pediatric cardiologist in a separate room, guiding a physician without experience in echocardiographic imaging of CHD in the examination of a symptomatic newborn. This remote-mentoring pair was blinded to the diagnosis of the newborn and presented with a simplified patient history. The echocardiographic… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Developing an automatic and credible diagnostic system to analyze the type, stage, and level of the liver cancer from Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) images is a very challenging and time-consuming endeavor, even for experienced pathologists, due to the non-uniform illumination and artifacts. Albeit several Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) approaches are employed to increase the performance of automatic liver cancer diagnostic systems, the classification accuracy of these systems still needs significant improvement to satisfy the real-time requirement of the diagnostic situations. In this work, we present a new Ensemble Classifier (hereafter called ECNet)… More >

Abstract Research is very competitive but vital in medical training at all levels and disciplines. Given the evidence-based practice, people are reinforced to adopt a constant change attitude and critically appraise all the literature to make the best medical decisions. Nonetheless, the motivation to generate new knowledge and scientific research is relegated to small groups due to multiple factors. Such as the lack of research education from early stages in medical training, the absence of early results, and the lack of mentors willing to sponsor a person who wants to begin this way.

Abstract Introduction and objectives: We previously reported the successful attainment of laparoscopic skills in a group of practicing pediatric urologists without previous formal laparoscopic training. During the mentorship period, the four urologists (trainees A, B, C, and D) performed a number of renal retroperitoneal laparoscopic procedures (RRLP) under the tutelage of an expert mentor. Specifically, trainee A performed or assisted in 8 RRLP while trainees B, C, and D performed/assisted in 10, 7, or 18 RRLP, respectively. Herein we assessed the outcome of this training program and practice pattern of this same group of urologists.
Methods: Following the… More >
