Abstract:

Digital technology is broadly used in almost every part of medicine. As tools of digital technology, augmented reality and virtual reality have been adopted in all disciplines of dentistry and dental education. In particular, virtual articulators have allowed for a full analysis of occlusion with dental models that can simulate all mandibular movements in static and dynamic positions. When combined with additional software, virtual articulators can also enhance education and practice, allow for quicker and more precise individualized diagnoses and enable discussions of dental treatment planning options with patients during their first appointment. This article reviews the requirements for virtual articulators and occlusal recordings and assesses their advantages and disadvantages in various aspects.

Abstract:

Patients potentially suffer and are exposed to danger during invasive bronchoscopic diagnosis and surgery. In order to reduce this hazardous risk, we have developed an interactive virtual environment for the simulation of bronchoscopy (in short, called "virtual bronchoscopy"). Because of this state-of-the-art application, medical doctors can now obtain pre-operative information and perform pilot examinations in a virtual environment without any invasive or needless surgery. This 3D lung volume data of the patient is first acquired from CT and/or MRI scanning, without any pain being inflicted upon the patient. Then a vessel-tracking process is used to extract the patient's bronchial tree from the data. It is important to note that while manual tracking is tedious and labor-intensive, fully automatic tracking may not be as reliable in such a critical medical application. Thus a semi-automatic tracking technique called the Intelligent Path Tracker, which provides automation and sufficient user control during the tracking process, is most useful. This methodology is applied to a virtual bronchoscopy session, where doctors can use a 3D pen input device to navigate and visualize the bronchial tree of patients in a natural and interactive manner. To support an interactive frame rate, we also propose a new volume rendering acceleration technique, named IsoRegion Leaping. Through this technique visualization is further accelerated using a distributed rendering process based upon a TCP/IP network of low-cost PCs. Combining these approaches enables a 256x256x256 volumetric data representation of a human lung to be navigated and visualized at a frame rate of over 10 Hz in our virtual bronchoscopy system.

Abstract:

PURPOSE: This study examined the significance, nature, and structure of the virtual experience of perioperative patients as undergone by nursing students during their practical training through VR and blended learning. METHODS: Data were collected through a focus group interview (FGI) of 21 nursing student participants from November 2019 to December 2019 and analyzed through Colaizzi’s phenomenological method. RESULTS: Seven theme clusters were organized that described nursing students’ experiences. They are “placed in a passive position,” “facing the limits of communication,” “thinking of developing and improving competency as a nurse,” “recognizing the importance of interacting with their patients”, “learning vividly through experience”, “engaging in a new type of participatory learning”, and “designing nursing knowledge.” CONCLUSION: Patient-centered care can be achieved in the nursing school curriculum through “patient experiences.” Additionally, the feedback from research participants who have “become keenly aware of the need for patient experiences” shows that empathizing with the “patient experience” is an essential quality to acquire by prospective medical professionals before they are introduced to the nursing field. We suggest future studies that expand on nursing students’ patient experience in various teaching methods and curriculums.

Abstract:

Virtual patients have proven to be an effective educational tool for learning and applying clinical examination skills. Interactive virtual patient scenarios provide opportunities for medical students to practice and improve verbal and nonverbal communication through the use of performance feedback. This feedback helps students to understand the ways in which they are perceived by their patients which otherwise could not be analyzed by health professionals. Evidence supports that interactive VPs fill a niche in medical education and testing for scenarios that cannot be practiced outside the virtual environment or with standardized patients. Not only are virtual patients effective in medical curriculum, as evidenced by various studies, they are applicable in understanding the ways in which learning occurs and can be implemented into a number of educational settings. In this article, the authors summarize seven years of findings on the use of virtual patients. They also describe current efforts at implementing virtual patients in community scenarios. The paper concludes with avenues for future directions with virtual human patients.

Abstract:

Objective: Therapeutic advancements in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease have improved prevention of ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction, but diagnostic methods for atherosclerotic plaque phenotyping to aid individualized therapy are lacking. In this feasibility study, we aimed to elucidate plaque biology by decoding the molecular phenotype of plaques through analysis of computed-tomography angiography images, making a predictive model for plaque biology referred to as virtual transcriptomics. Approach and Results: We employed machine intelligence using paired computed-tomography angiography and transcriptomics from carotid endarterectomies of 40 patients undergoing stroke-preventive surgery for carotid stenosis. Computed tomography angiographies were analyzed with novel software for accurate characterization of plaque morphology and plaque transcriptomes obtained from microarrays, followed by mathematical modeling for prediction of molecular signatures. Four hundred fourteen coding and noncoding RNAs were robustly predicted using supervised models to estimate gene expression based on plaque morphology. Examples of predicted transcripts included ion transporters, cytokine receptors, and a number of microRNAs whereas pathway analyses demonstrated enrichment of several biological processes relevant for the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis and plaque instability. Finally, the ability of the models to predict plaque gene expression was demonstrated using computed tomography angiographies from 4 sequestered patients and comparisons with transcriptomes of corresponding lesions. Conclusions: The results of this pilot study show that atherosclerotic plaque phenotyping by image analysis of conventional computed-tomography angiography can elucidate the molecular signature of atherosclerotic lesions in a multiscale setting. The study holds promise for optimized personalized therapy in the prevention of myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke, which warrants further investigations in larger cohorts.

Abstract:

We describe a telerehabilitation system that has been developed in our laboratory, and initial results following use of the system on 2 patients with stroke. The system allows a therapist in a remote location to conduct treatment sessions, using a virtual-environment-based motor-training system, with a patient who is located at home. The system consists of a patient computer with motion-capture equipment and video camera, a therapist computer with video camera, and virtual-environment software that is synchronized over a high-speed Internet connection. The patient's movements are animated within the context of a virtual scene as she attempts to imitate a prerecorded movement, while the therapist can direct and monitor the activity in real time, as displayed in the animated virtual scene and via videoconference. The design, technical testing, and clinical feasibility testing of the system are reported. Results from the first 2 stroke patients to use the system indicate that patients made significant gains in upper-extremity function as measured by standard clinical tests and by their subjective report. As well, both patients demonstrated gains on quantitative kinematic measures of upper-extremity trajectories performed in the real world, indicating transfer of training from VE to real-world performance.

Abstract:

Changes in lifestyle that are far from healthy living behavior are currently in line with the increase in hypertension which requires compliance efforts in drug consumption and diabetes management. Lack of knowledge is one of the factors of non-compliance in the management of hypertension. Mentoring is one way to increase knowledge. Knowing the effect of virtual mentoring on hypertension diet on dietary compliance of hypertension sufferers is the goal in this study. The design of the study was pre-experimental. A sample of 28 respondents was obtained by purposive sampling technique. The results of the study before being given virtual assistance showed most of the respondents (53.6%) had adequate hypertension diet compliance, while after virtual assistance showed almost all respondents (89.3%) complied in the implementation of the hypertension diet. The results of the Wilcoxon test analysis showed p: 0.000 and: 0.05, indicating that virtual assistance had an effect on dietary compliance with hypertension sufferers. Virtual assistance makes communication between patients and health workers more intense, both in the process of transferring information and controlling. Virtual mentoring interventions can be used as a method of heath education for health workers to improve dietary compliance with hypertension sufferers.

Abstract:

Fracture clinic services are under significant pressures to meet patients' expectations of a high-quality service. The virtual fracture clinic has shown early promise in helping to reduce such pressures. We used the virtual fracture clinic for hand and wrist injuries treated in the orthopaedic fracture clinic and used key quality indicators to measure improvement. Over the first 21 months, key patient outcome measures and satisfaction scores for patients discharged from the virtual fracture clinic with education to self-care were excellent. Our results show that a virtual fracture clinic model can be applied to provide high-quality care for hand and wrist injuries. The main advantage of the virtual fracture clinic is its ability to direct patients to the right person for timely treatment. We conclude from our 21-month experience that this model of care allows safe, effective, patient-centred, efficient and equitable care to the patients with hand and wrist fractures.

Abstract:

Summary Objectives: To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of rehabilitation applications of virtual reality. Methods: VR can be used as an enhancement to conventional therapy for patients with conditions ranging from musculo-skeletal problems, to stroke-induced paralysis, to cognitive deficits. This approach is called “VR-augmented rehabilitation.” Alternately, VR can replace conventional interventions altogether, in which case the rehabilitation is “VR-based.” If the intervention is done at a distance, then it is called “telerehabilitation.” Simulation exercises for post-stroke patients have been developed using a “teacher object” approach or a video game approach. Simulations for musculo-skeletal patients use virtual replicas of rehabilitation devices (such as rubber ball, power putty, peg board). Phobia-inducing virtual environments are prescribed for patients with cognitive deficits. Results: VR-augmented rehabilitation has been shown effective for stroke patients in the chronic phase of the disease. VR-based rehabilitation has been improving patients with fear of flying, Vietnam syndrome, fear of heights, and chronic stroke patients. Telerehabilitation interventions using VR have improved musculo-skeletal and post-stroke patients, however less data is available at this time. Conclusions: Virtual reality presents significant advantages when applied to rehabilitation of patients with varied conditions. These advantages include patient motivation, adaptability and variability based on patient baseline, transparent data storage, online remote data access, economy of scale, reduced medical costs. Challenges in VR use for rehabilitation relate to lack of computer skills on the part of therapists, lack of support infrastructure, expensive equipment (initially), inadequate communication infrastructure (for telerehabilitation in rural areas), and patient safety concerns.

Abstract:

SummaryIntroduction: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on “New Methodologies for Patients Rehabilitation”.Background: The ecological validity of paper-and-pencil neuropsychological tests is currently a matter of debate. Arguments in favor of alternatives indicate that paper-and-pencil forms are unable to account for both mental and functional aspects of cognitive functioning.Objectives: In this study we developed a new neuropsychological evaluation test – the Virtual Kitchen Test (VKT) – devised to evaluate frontal brain functioning in cognitively impaired individuals. We designed this test according to the rationale of the Trail Making Test (TMT), in order to capture frontal lobe abilities during a more ecologically valid task.Methods: Forty-nine participants, 25 from a clinical sample of patients diagnosed with Alcohol Dependence Syndrome, plus 24 healthy participants.Results: Execution errors and task completion time were significantly higher in the clinical sample. Also, scores on the new VKT showed moderate to high positive correlations with scores on the TMT. Furthermore, the overall discriminant performance of the VKT was high for both of its indicators.Conclusions: Overall results support the ability of the VKT to evaluate frontal lobe functions. The best cut-off scores based on this sample are discussed.

Abstract:

Abstract This article includes current information on the use of modern IT solutions and virtual-reality (VR)-based technologies in medical rehabilitation. A review of current literature on VR-based interventions and their indications, benefits and limitations in patients with nervous system diseases was conducted. The popularity of VR-based training as a tool used for rehabilitation of patients with acute and chronic deficits in both sensory-motor and cognitive disorders is increasing. Still, there is a need for large randomized trials to evaluate the efficacy and safety of VR-based rehabilitation techniques in different disease entities. .

Abstract:

Nephron-sparing surgery (NSS) in Wilms tumor (WT) patients is a surgically challenging procedure used in highly selective cases only. Virtual resections can be used for preoperative planning of NSS to estimate the remnant renal volume (RRV) and to virtually mimic radical tumor resection. In this single-center evaluation study, virtual resection for NSS planning and the user experience were evaluated. Virtual resection was performed in nine WT patient cases by two pediatric surgeons and one pediatric urologist. Pre- and postoperative MRI scans were used for 3D visualization. The virtual RRV was acquired after performing virtual resection and a questionnaire was used to assess the ease of use. The actual RRV was derived from the postoperative 3D visualization and compared with the derived virtual RRV. Virtual resection resulted in virtual RRVs that matched nearly perfectly with the actual RRVs. According to the questionnaire, virtual resection appeared to be straightforward and was not considered to be difficult. This study demonstrated the potential of virtual resection as a new planning tool to estimate the RRV after NSS in WT patients. Future research should further evaluate the clinical relevance of virtual resection by relating it to surgical outcome.
