Golden 60 minutes of newborn’s life: Part 1: Preterm neonate

“Golden 60?minutes “or “Golden Hour” is defined as the first hour of the newborn after birth. This hour includes resuscitation care, transport to nursery from place of birth and course in nursery. The concept of “Golden hour” includes evidence based interventions that are done in the first 60?min of postnatal life for the better long term outcome of the preterm newborn especially extreme premature, extreme low birth weight and very low birth weight. The evidence shows that the concept of “Golden 60?minutes” leads to reduction in neonatal complications like hypothermia, hypoglycemia, intraventricular hemorrhage, chronic lung disease and retinopathy of prematurity. In this review, we have covered various interventions included in “Golden hour” for preterm newborn namely delayed cord clamping, prevention of hypothermia, respiratory and cardiovascular system support, prevention of sepsis, nutritional support and communication with family.     

Feasibility and Usefulness of the Peer-Run Course “Recovery Is Up to You” for People with Addiction Problems: A Qualitative Study

“Recovery Is Up to You,” a 12-week peer-run group experience for persons with major psychiatric problems, has had positive effects on important elements of recovery: empowerment, hope, and self-efficacy beliefs. Determining if such an experience would be equally efficacious for persons with addiction problems is the focus of this study. The 12-week course was experienced by eight groups of persons with addiction problems and the outcome, measured in terms of the response of participants and of the group leaders, was a favorable one as the course was found to be supportive of the recovery process, providing the participants and peer group leaders alike with new perspectives on meaningful living.     

Incorporating Active-Learning Techniques and Competency Assessment into a Critical Care Elective Course

Objective. To design, implement, and measure the effectiveness of a critical care elective course for second-year students in a 3-year accelerated doctor of pharmacy (PharmD) program.Design. A critical care elective course was developed that used active-learning techniques, including cooperative learning and group presentations, to deliver content on critical care topics. Group presentations had to include a disease state overview, practice guidelines, and clinical recommendations, and were evaluated by course faculty members and peers.Assessment. Students’ mean scores on a 20-question critical-care competency assessment administered before and after the course improved by 11% (p < 0.05). Course evaluations and comments were positive.Conclusion. A critical care elective course resulted in significantly improved competency in critical care and was well-received by students.     

A Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy Elective Course to Enhance Pharmacy Students�� Literature Evaluation Skills and Ability to Apply Clinical Evidence

Objectives. To design and implement a cardiovascular pharmacotherapy elective course to enhance pharmacy students’ ability to evaluate medical literature and apply clinical evidence.Design. In weekly class sessions, students were provided an overview of the important literature supporting therapeutic guidelines for the management of major cardiovascular diseases. Students worked in groups to complete outside-of-class assignments involving a patient case and then discussed the case in class. During the semester, each student also independently completed a literature search on an assigned topic, summarized the studies found in table format, and presented 1 of the studies to the class.Assessment. Students’ grades on weekly patient case assignments steadily increased over the semester. Also, the average grade on the final examination was higher than the grade on the midterm take-home examination. On the course evaluation, students rated the course favorably in terms of improvement of confidence in evaluating the primary literature and applying it to practice.Conclusion. Completion of the cardiovascular pharmacotherapy elective increased pharmacy students’ level of confidence in evaluating literature and applying clinical evidence in making patient care decisions.

基于BOPPPS模式的微课体系构建

肝胆胰脾外科课程是医学生认识肝胆胰脾疾病本质的必备知识,但由于传统外科理论课教学的局限性,简单的课堂授课难以提高学生学习兴趣。大多数学生只是为了考试而学习,没有从本质上了解到外科学知识对未来临床工作的重要性。这也是目前医学院校普遍存在的基础医学课程教学效果差、效率低的原因,也给临床实践工作带来了许多难题。主要原因在于,传统的课堂教学中人数较多,学生参与度较少,难以投入其中,这也是目前医学院校基础课程改革面临的重大难点及要点。因此,如何进行外科课程的教学改革是当今保障医学教学质量过程中亟待解决的问题。从我国外科课程的教育现状出发,通过BOPPPS教学模式和微课教学法的结合,构建肝胆胰脾外科理论教学与手术能力培训体系,改善教学效果、增强学生对专业知识的实际应用能力。     

微课在病理学实验教学中的应用

【】病理学是医学中重要桥梁学科,它的知识点多、内容抽象难懂。微课作为一种全新的表现形式,其具有“情景真实、主题突出、资源多样、形式灵活、交互性强、动态生成、便于传播、应用简单”等优点。将微课应用于病理学教学中,参考教学大纲进行微课的设计与制作,通过知识点的梳理,重难点的讲解及系统性总结开展课堂教学。实践表明,微课对激发学生学习兴趣,提高学习效率,进而达到提高病理学成绩的目的。     

互联网时代移动教学在神经外科教学中的应用探讨

在“互联网+教育”时代,借助移动通讯设备和网络的学习模式成为了新的教学趋势。该文对移动学习的特点和移动教学的方式,以及当前的移动教学新模式在神经外科教学中的应用进行了回顾和探讨,重点讨论了MOOC课程、翻转课堂以及微信平台教学对神经外科教学理念和教学模式带来的变化及其应用前景。同时也分析了当前移动设备应用于教学的不足之处及对大学生学习可能产生的负面影响,并对相应的解决方案进行了探讨。正确对待移动设备在教学中的作用,积极探索并发展适应时代潮流、多模式、高效的教学方法,对神经外科教学乃至其他医学类课程的教学具有重要意义。
