Dynamic behavior of alternative energy based Hybrid Power System (HPS) is commonly analyzed using Matlab/ Simulink. This way of simulation has the limitation in interfacing the model with hardware for real time control, which in turn limits in span of the simulation and consumes more time for simulation. Besides, simulator choice for the designed dynamic model is also constrained. Though, this ...

Introduction: Teaching in medicine should focus on enabling students to acquire knowledge and skill which translates in to best clinical outcomes. Class room based teachings or group discussions don’t impart principles of team work, coordination or decision making which is prudent in an emergency situation. Introduction of technology based teaching like simulation is the need of the hour in med...

Recent technological advances have enhanced the capa­ bility of human patient simulators (HPS) to duplicate clinical situations so that students can practice decisionmaking skills in a controlled environment. When using HPS, nursing students experience a real-life patient prob­ lem and follow the nursing process through interactions with the HPS. Students collect data from the HPS through the a...

Dentists are expected to deliver safe and pain-free dental procedures after they graduate from dental school. This includes using local anesthetics and sedative drugs that may be associated with side effects and complications that can lead to crisis situations. This study postulated that teaching medical crisis management to dental residents and assistants using human patient simulation (HPS) w...

INTRODUCTION Simulation and modeling represent promising tools for several application domains from engineering to forensic science and medicine. Advances in 3D imaging technology convey paradigms such as augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality inside promising simulation tools for the training industry. METHODS Motivated by the requirement for superimposing anatomically correct 3D models on...

Great hopes have been placed on human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells for therapy. Tissues or organs derived from hPS cells could be the best solution to cure many different human diseases, especially those who do not respond to standard medication or drugs, such as neurodegenerative diseases, heart failure, or diabetes. The origin of hPS is critical and the idea of creating a bank of well-charact...

Objective: In this trial, we intend to assess the effect of simulation-based education approach on advanced cardiovascular life support skills among medical students. Methods: Through convenient sampling method, 40 interns of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences in their emergency medicine rotation (from September to December 2012) participated in th...

Introduction: Very little prospective, randomized, experimental research exists on the use of simulation as a teaching method, and no studies have compared the effects of 2 strategies of using the Human Patient Simulator (HPS) and a CD-ROM on the management of patients exposed to chemical agents. Methods: A prospective, pretest-posttest experimental, mixed design (within and between) was used t...

Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) is a rare, often fatal, autosomal recessive disorder in which albinism, bleeding and lysosomal storage are associated with defects of diverse cytoplasmic organelles, including melanosomes, platelet dense granules and lysosomes. Similar multi-organellar defects occur in the Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS), as well as in a large number of different mouse mutants. Th...

Human pluripotent stem (hPS) cells are capable of differentiation into derivatives of all three primary embryonic germ layers and can self-renew indefinitely. They therefore offer a potentially scalable source of replacement cells to treat a variety of degenerative diseases. The ability to reprogram adult cells to induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells has now enabled the possibility of patient-s...
