ABSTRACT Introduction The otolaryngology (ORL) boot camp was designed to onboard ORL residents through a curriculum focusing on their needs as novice otolaryngologists. This provided systematic, specialty-wide training in core elements of knowledge, procedural skills, professionalism, supervision, and communications for entering ORL. present study aimed assess the effectiveness an resident indu...

INTRODUCTION Interns are often unprepared to effectively communicate in the acute trauma setting. Despite the many strengths of the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) program, the main shortcoming within the course is the deficiency of teamwork and leadership training. In this study, we describe the creation of an interdisciplinary boot camp in which interns' basic trauma knowledge, level of c...

"It was a Saturday night in the month of February, 1953. The moon was shining bright in a cloudless sky and cold breeze was blowing. A camp fire was burning in the lawn of the S. N. Mullick Health Centre in the village of Singur. Sixty students from all over India, who had come for training in rural public health work were sitting round the camp fire after dinner. Some were in a joyful state, c...

The effects of cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and anticalmodulin W-7 were studied on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl-cAMP and W -7 separately caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H]glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The inhibito...

Four elite rowers completed a 12-day altitude training camp living at 1800 m, and training at 1800 m and 915 m, to assess changes in resting metabolic rate (RMR). RMR and body composition were assessed pre- and postcamp. Downward trends in RMR and body composition were observed postaltitude: absolute RMR (percent change: -5.2%), relative RMR (-4.6%), body mass (-1.2%), and fat mass (-4.1%). The...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an increasing number of training hours of specific high-intensity karate training on postural sway in preadolescent karate athletes. Seventy-four karatekas were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 groups: Karate Group (KG=37): age 10.29±1.68 yrs; or Control Group (CG= 37): age 10.06±1.77 yrs. The KG performed two sessions per day for 1 week in tota...

The Joint Training Experimentation Program (JTEP) is a multiphase, multiyear effort to develop a distributed training capability for the California National Guard (CANG) that includes live, virtual, and constructive (LVC) training simulation to support multiechelon training. The second JTEP demonstration was a battalion-level exercise conducted in December 2003. This demonstration linked the Jo...

In this paper a model to integrate the technology of tutoring systems to existing virtual reality training systems is described. The training systems are devoted to dangerous activities for energized line maintenance in the electrical domain. The systems are already in use and have impacted positively the traditional training method, which was based on classroom classes and camp training. The s...

The effects and interaction between cAMP-analogue dibutyryl-cAMP and calmodulin antagonists were investigated on de novo synthesis and secretion of lipids in cultures of hepatoma McArdle-RH7777 cells and normal rat hepatocytes. Dibutyryl cAMP caused a significant decrease in the secretion of de novo synthesized triacyl [3H] glycerol in both cultures of McArdle cells and rat hepatocytes. The ...
