Objective(s): Exercise training is a well-known accelerator for the treatment of chronic heart failure (CHF). The current study aimed to investigate the restorative effects of aerobic interval training (AIT) intervention on myocardial energy metabolism in CHF rats. Materials and Methods: Post-myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure animal model was established. The Sprague-Dawley rats were ran...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic suturing is a difficult skill to master but can be acquired with extensive training outside the operating room. This study was done with the primary aim of assessing whether prior exposure to laparoscopic surgery helped trainees in acquiring laparoscopic suturing skills more quickly than trainees with no prior exposure to laparoscopic surgery. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twe...

Team training seems to be crucial for the success of teams such as those in emergency services, the police or fire fighting. To carry out an operation successfully, intense training for complex collaborative tasks needs to be provided for all team members. In our study we applied a virtual training environment to train police personnel for complex collaborative tasks. The virtual training group...

background: the objectives of an educational system in a society are based on society's requirements. since personnel knowledge and skill are not qualified with the advantages of science and invention of new tools, new needs are arisen. comparing the curriculum of undergraduate course of operating room of our country with international societies, it seems that this curriculum is not a good one ...

The real-world applications to massive data processing raise two huge challenges to the traditional supervised machine learning. First, the sufficient training examples to ensure the generalization ability become unavailable, since the task of labeling examples by experts is time-consuming and expensive; second, it is impossible to load massive data into memory, and the response time is unaccep...

BACKGROUND Endovascular surgery benefits patients because of its superior short convalescence and lack of damage to healthy tissue. However, such advantages require the operator to be equipped with dexterous skills for catheter manipulation without resulting in collateral damage. To achieve this goal, a training system is in high demand. METHODS A training system integrating a VR simulator an...

Conceptual design methodology for the configuration and procedural training with an operating training simulator (OTS) in a large-scale plant for commercial bio-ethanol production is described. The aim of the study is to show how the methodology provides a powerful way for finding the best configuration and training structure of the OTS before constructing and implementing the software of the O...
