A simulator for teaching transrectal ultrasound procedures: how useful and realistic is it?

INTRODUCTION : We describe a new simulator for teaching transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and present the results of a preliminary evaluation of the simulator's realism and usefulness for training. METHODS : A simulator for abdominal ultrasound was adjusted by the developer to enable simulation of TRUS by providing an opening for inserting a dummy rectal probe. To enable TRUS simulation, data fro...

Platelet Refractoriness and how it is formed

Abstract Background and Objectives Transfusion of platelet has become one of the main treatments for thrombocytopenic patients to reduce the severity and frequency of bleeding consequences. Failure to attain the desired level of platelets in a patient following platelet transfusion is defined as platelet refractoriness. The purpose of present paper is to review and study the mechanisms involve...

What Is Mathematical Biology and How Useful Is It?

R ecent years have witnessed unprecedented progress in the biosciences. Perhaps the most visible event is the completion of the Human Genome Project—the first step toward amolecular geneticunderstandingof thehumanorganisms. Subsequent discovery of noncoding genes and deeper understanding of the genomic/proteomic machinery continue to advance biology at a revolutionary pace. Advances are reporte...
