Full textMobile software application (apps) have exploded in popularity since 2008, when Apple’s App Store opened and have become increasingly present in medical education and medical practice. As evidence of educators realizing the potential apps have for educating students, the University of Arizona has created a department called the Office of Instruction and Assessment (OIA), which has a programming team that is committed to assisting faculty in the design, development and implementation of apps for University of Arizona Students. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect in the United States, affecting nearly 1% of, or about 40,000, births per year. There are complex three‐dimensional relationships involved in many of the congenital heart defects that may be difficult for students to fully understand through the traditional method of reading and looking at two‐dimensional diagrams. The principle goal of this project was to participate in the design and development of an educational mobile app that allows the user to interactively rotate digital 3D models of hearts with congenital heart defects. Multiple approaches to developing an educational medical app were explored including utilizing basic app‐building programs that do not require computer coding or programming, paying a for‐profit company to develop an app, and collaborating with a larger educational institution that has the resources available for developing an app and has a potential use for the app. This thesis aims to describe the resources available to develop an educational app, the major factors that determine the best approach for app development and the challenges associated with each approach. Through the case example of developing “Heart Defects” with the Office of Instruction and Assessment at the University of Arizona and publishing the app on the Apple App Store it was determined that the major factors guiding the approach to app development are complexity of the app, computer programming experience of the individual planning to develop an app, and having access to a larger institution with the ability to develop apps and the institution having a perceived benefit from developing the app.
Zarrouk, Hajer. "The impact of problem-based learning methodology on learners of English for Academic Medical Purpose." Thesis, Le Havre, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016LEHA0025/document.
Full textThe purpose of this study was to consider the implementation of Problem Based Learning (PBL) as an epistemologically sound teaching methodology to teach English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and particularly English for Academic Medical Purposes (EAMP). The study examined whether PBL is compatible with language teaching and determined the benefits that this methodology can bring to ESP. The study also attempted to solve problems with English learning that were identified in the Preparatory Year Health Colleges (Female Branch) within Hail University, Saudi Arabia. A needs analysis was conducted in the institution to examine the English learning situation and better identify these learning problems. Then PBL was implemented to determine if it provided a possible solution to the issue. This entailed a change in the macro-methodological and micro-methodological levels, as Demaizière (1996) called ‘le niveau macromethodologique’ and ‘le niveau micromethodologique’ (p.66). In the empirical part of this study, a longitudinal study was conducted with 13 students who were observed through a period of 8 weeks and over five PBL tutorials, which took place over fifteen sessions. During these fifteen sessions, learners’ behaviors or indicators of autonomy were observed at the group level for the first and third session of each PBL tutorial and at the individual level in session 2. In general, the results favored the implementation of this approach in teaching English for Academic Medical Purposes (EAMP). They also showed that PBL can improve learners’ autonomy; enable learners to develop learning strategies; help learners harness their language skills; and learn content oriented to their field

Full textWith the evolution of Web technology, healthcare documentation is becoming increasinglyabundant and accessible to all, especially to patients, who have access to a large amount ofhealth information. Unfortunately, the ease of access to medical information does not guaranteeits correct understanding by the intended audience, in this case non-experts. Our PhD work aimsat creating a resource for the simplification of medical texts, based on a syntactico-semanticanalysis of verbs in four French medical corpora, that are distinguished according to the levelof expertise of their authors and that of the target audiences. The resource created in thepresent thesis contains 230 syntactico-semantic patterns of verbs (called pss), aligned withtheir non-specialized equivalents. The semi-automatic method applied, for the analysis of verbs,in order to achieve our goal is based on four fundamental tasks : the syntactic annotation of thecorpora, carried out thanks to the Cordial parser (Laurent et al., 2009) ; the semantic annotationof verb arguments, based on semantic categories of the French version of a medical terminologyknown as Snomed International (Côté, 1996) ; the acquisition of syntactico-semantic patternsof verbs and the contrastive analysis of the verbs behaviors in the different corpora. Thepss, acquired at the end of this process, undergo an evaluation (by three teams of medicalexperts) which leads to the selection of candidates constituting the nomenclature of our textsimplification resource. These pss are then aligned with their non-specialized equivalents, thisalignment leads to the creation of the simplification resource, which is the main result of ourPhD study. The content of the resource was evaluated by two groups of people : linguists andnon-linguists. The results show that the simplification of pss makes it easier for non-expertsto understand the meaning of verbs used in a specialized way, especially when a certain set ofparameters is collected
Carnet, Anaïs. "L’utilisation de séries télévisées pour l’enseignement/apprentissage de la communication pour la consultation médicale." Thesis, Université de Lorraine, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020LORR0188.
Full textThe objective of this research in English for Specific Purposes is to measure the impact of the use of television series on the teaching/learning of communication for medical consultation. It is largely rooted in the field of teaching and learning as existing theories and methodologies are studied with the aim of creating an innovative programme to teach medical students how to communicate during a consultation. This research is innovative as it compares the effectiveness of three types of documents: pedagogical documents, a medical television series and a mix of medical and non-medical television series. The first part of this thesis, which introduces medical English as a sub-genre of English for Specific Purposes, offers a reflection on the language of medical consultation, as well as its cultural aspect, by deconstructing its dynamics. The second part constitutes the methodological framework, in which the different construction phases of the new programme are introduced, and the scientific protocols are outlined. The third part is dedicated to the analyses and discussion of the data obtained during the research, in order to shed light on how the television series tool influences the students' ability to communicate with a foreign patient during a medical consultation. The results show that even if the use of television series is statistically less effective than educational documents in memorizing, using and perpetuating communicational knowledge, their use leads to changes in the representation of the professional posture on the cognitive level

ABSTRACT: The doctrine of informed consent, defined as respect for autonomy, is the tool used to govern the relationship between physicians and patients. Its framework relies on rights and duties that mark these relationships. The main purpose of informed consent is to promote human rights and dignity. Some researchers claim that informed consent has successfully replaced patients&softsign; historical predispositions to accept physicians' advice without much explicit resistance.
Although the doctrine of informed consent promotes ideals worth pursuing, a successful implementation of these ideals in practice has yet to occur. What has happened in practice is that attorneys, physicians, and hospital administrators often use consent forms mainly to protect physicians and medical facilities from liability. Consequently, ethicists, legal theorists, and physicians need to do much more to explain how human rights and human dignity relate to the practice of medicine and how the professionals can promote them in practice.
This is especially important because patients' vulnerability has increased just as the complexity and power of medical science and technology have increased. Certain health care practices can shed light on the difficulties of implementing the doctrine of informed consent and explain why it is insufficient to protect patients' rights and dignity. Defining a normal biological event as a disease, and routinely prescribing hormone drug therapy to menopausal women for all health conditions related to menopause, does not meet the standards of free informed consent.
Clinicians provide insufficient disclosure about risks related to long-term use of hormone therapies and about the absence of solid evidence to support their bias toward hormone therapies as a treatment of choice for menopause related health conditions. The contributing problem is women's failure to act as autonomous agents because they either choose not to take an active part in their own therapy or because they fear to question physicians' medical authority. To insure that patients' autonomy and free choice are a part of every physician-patient interaction, physicians and patients need actively to promote them as values that are absolutely indispensable in physicians' offices, clinics, and hospitals.

Full textLa present tesi doctoral té com a objectiu l'estudi del fenòmen sociopragmàtic anomenat atenuació retòrica (hedging en anglès) en dos gèneres diferents del discurs mèdic escrit: els articles d' investigació científica i els informes de cas o casos mèdics. Amb aquesta finalitat s' examina un corpus en ambdós gèneres escrits en espanyol i en anglès (L2) per cientifics espanyols i publicats en revistes científiques de prestigi en el camp de la biomedicina . Es comparen els resultats obtinguts de l'anàlisis del corpus amb els obtinguts per altres autors amb mostres lingüístiques escrites en anglès. El treball, doncs, consisteix en una anàlisi interlingüística i intergenèrica de la atenuació retòrica en el discurs mèdic. Un interès particular que presenta la tesis resideix en les aplicacions pedagògiques que té pels professors d' ensenyament d' idiomes per a finalitats específiques (LFE).
This PhD aims at studying the sociopragmatic phenomenon called hedging in two different genres of the written medical discourse: the research article and the case report. Therefore, a corpus of these two genres is examined both in Spanish and in English (L2). Being all texts written by Spanish scientists and published in scientific journals of prestige in the biomedical field . The results obtained in the corpus analysis are then compared to the ones obtained by other authors with similar linguistic samples written in English. This thesis, hence, consists of itergeneric and interlinguistic analyses of hedging in medical disourse. A special interest of this research project may lay in the pedagogical applications for teachers of languages for specific purposes (LSP).

Full textO objetivo desta dissertação consiste em investigar o processo de construção da identidade profissional de médicos que se dedicam à assistência a pacientes que apresentam doenças progressivas e ameaçadoras da continuidade existencial e que têm contribuído para o desenvolvimento dos Cuidados Paliativos no Brasil. Buscamos conhecer a trajetória profissional destes médicos desde a escolha da medicina como profissão até o encontro com a filosofia e a prática dos Cuidados Paliativos. Com este intuito, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas,colhidas segundo a metodologia de História Oral de Vida. Foram entrevistados seis médicos de diferentes especialidades que ocupam cargos diretivos em uma das associações profissionais voltadas para a disseminação e legitimação política e social dos Cuidados Paliativos no Brasil. Os depoentes se destacam no cenário nacional no que diz respeito às discussões sobre esta temática e mantêm contato com importantes instituições internacionais. Por esta razão, chamamos o conjunto de entrevistados de elite médica paliativista. Percebemos uma pobre interlocução entre os médicos paliativistas, o que se reflete na ausência de uma identidade integrada desse grupo profissional. Os entrevistados acentuaram as competências humanitárias necessárias ao bom exercício da Medicina Paliativa, mas, no entanto, não foram explicitadas as competências específicas a este campo profissional, que justificariam seu reconhecimento pelas entidades médicas competentes comouma nova área de atuação ou especialidade.

Full textLa presente tesis doctoral se ha centrado en el reto de conseguir, mediante Fabricación Aditiva (FA), modelos para ensayo quirúrgico, bajo la premisa que los equipos para obtenerlos tendrían que ser accesibles al ámbito hospitalario. El objetivo es facilitar la extensión del uso de modelos como herramienta de preparación de operaciones quirúrgicas, transformando la práctica médica actual de la misma manera que, en su momento, lo hicieron tecnologías como las que facilitaron el uso de radiografías. El motivo de utilizar FA, en lugar de tecnologías más tradicionales, es su capacidad de materializar de forma directa los datos digitales obtenidos de la anatomía del paciente mediante sistemas de escaneado tridimensional, haciendo posible la obtención de modelos personalizados. Los resultados se centran en la generación de nuevo conocimiento para conseguir equipamientos de impresión 3D multimateriales accesibles que permitan la obtención de modelos miméticos respecto a los tejidos vivos. Para facilitar la buscada extensión de la tecnología, se ha focalizado en las tecnologías de código abierto como la Fabricación por Hilo Fundido (FFF) y similares basadas en líquidos catalizables. Esta investigación se alinea dentro de la actividad de desarrollo de la FA en el CIM UPC, y en este ámbito concreto con la colaboración con el Hospital Sant Joan de Déu de Barcelona (HSJD). El primer bloque de la tesis incluye la descripción del estado del arte, detallando las tecnologías existentes y su aplicación al entorno médico. Se han establecido por primera vez unas bases de caracterización de los tejidos vivos – principalmente blandos – para dar apoyo a la selección de materiales que los puedan mimetizar en un proceso de FA, a efectos de mejorar la experiencia de ensayo de los cirujanos. El carácter rígido de los materiales mayoritariamente usados en impresión 3D los hace poco útiles para simular tumores y otras referencias anatómicas. De forma sucesiva, se tratan parámetros como la densidad, la viscoelasticidad, la caracterización de materiales blandos en la industria, el estudio del módulo elástico de tejidos blandos y vasos, la dureza de los mismos, y requerimientos como la esterilización de los modelos. El segundo bloque empieza explorando la impresión 3D mediante FFF. Se clasifican las variantes del proceso desde el punto de vista de la multimaterialidad, esencial para hacer modelos de ensayo quirúrgico, diferenciando entre soluciones multiboquilla y de mezcla en el cabezal. Se ha incluido el estudio de materiales (filamentos y líquidos) que serían más útiles para mimetizar tejidos blandos. Se constata como en los líquidos, en comparación con los filamentos, la complejidad del trabajo en procesos de FA es más elevada, y se determinan formas de imprimir materiales muy blandos. Para acabar, se exponen seis casos reales de colaboración con el HJSD, una selección de aquellos en los que el doctorando ha intervenido en los últimos años. El origen se encuentra en la dificultad del abordaje de operaciones de resección de tumores infantiles como el neuroblastoma, y en la iniciativa del Dr. Lucas Krauel. Finalmente, el Bloque 3 desarrolla numerosos conceptos (hasta 8), actividad completada a lo largo de los últimos cinco años con el apoyo de los medios del CIM UPC y de la actividad asociada a trabajos finales de estudios de estudiantes de la UPC, llegándose a materializar equipamientos experimentales para validarlos. La investigación amplia y sistemática al respecto hace que se esté más cerca de disponer de una solución de impresión 3D multimaterial de sobremesa. Se determina que la mejor vía de progreso es la de disponer de una pluralidad de cabezales independientes, a fin de capacitar la impresora 3D para integrar diversos conceptos estudiados, materializándose una posible solución. Para cerrar la tesis, se plantea cómo sería un equipamiento de impresión 3D para modelos de ensayo quirúrgico, a fin de servir de base para futuros desarrollos.

This study can be divided in to three parts, the goal of this three are to develop a low cost and low power consumption devices, but also can be customize with multi-purposes, by combining Bluetooth and solar energy harvesting, it makes power self-sufficient system achievable. The first part is to design an all in one device that’s capable of measuring physiological signals, such as glucose, uric and lactate; the architecture of this is based on potentiostat, it’s able to measure and convert physiological signals in to voltage, also, the use of digital potentiometer is to change the stimulation voltage with corresponding target, then the data will be send out by Bluetooth and using interpolation to acquire concentration of the target. As for part two, we use instrument amplifier and filter to accomplish a non-invasive multi-channel surface Electromyography measuring device, in order to lower the cost and shrink down the size of the device, a same analog front end circuit was used to process the signals form deferent positive poles. The last part is a combination of Bluetooth and solar power harvesting, the power source is always an issue on IoT applications, so in this part, we’ll utilize thin film DSC solar cell and energy harvesting chip to provide sustainable power for a long period of time, it’s even possible to balance between harvested power and system consumption by harvesting indoor light, instead of sun lights.
Νικολαΐδης, Νικόλαος. "DatAssist : the development of a portable multi-purpose medical data acquisition system." Thesis, 2010. http://nemertes.lis.upatras.gr/jspui/handle/10889/3816.
Full textDuring both inside the hospital medical procedures-from simple patient tests to more sophisticated procedures such as transplantations and surgeries, and laboratory or animal testing, several parameters have to be measured and monitored i.e. pressure, flow and temperature of blood and of the perfusion solution during transplantations. Since blood pressure, blood flow and body temperature have shown to be important physiological parameters, they have to be measured and registered accurately in order to monitor the functioning of the human body. Up to now, these measurements had to be performed with separate measuring units and separate data acquisition systems and thus with increased cost and resulting to a complicated measuring procedure for the user. The idea of the DatAssist project is to develop a portable measuring system with integrated data acquisition that is able to monitor and display all these physiological parameters and save them for later analysis for Organ Assist -a spin-off company of the University Medical Centre Groningen. DatAssist will provide accurate measurements, it will be easy to use and give clear information about the measured parameters in the monitor. It will also be as much light-weighted as it can in order to be easy to move during medical applications. DatAssist intends to be a modular multi-channel system and is going to be designed according to IEC 60601-1:2005 regulations. The intended use of the unit is primary for animal and laboratory experiments. In the future the unit will be used for clinical studies in the hospital and while transplantations or surgeries. Blood flow and pressure and body temperature will be measured non-invasively or using disposable transducers. More analytically the system will provide connections with a pressure sensor, two temperature sensors (Thermocouple and NTC), a flow sensor and moreover it will have a BNC Connector for measuring external signals from other medical devices. These are the basic connections but there will be a possibility of having more connectors and sensors according to the needs of the several customers. It will be powered by a low DC voltage through an AC/DC Adapter, and in that way it will provide electrical safety to the user against the hazards that can be caused by the high AC Voltages, as long as safety against damage of the electrical components of the device. The design of DatAssist will be based on the stakeholders such as surgeons, perfusionists and Organ Assist. Their preferences have been summarized in seven general requirements: reliability, quality, safety, ease of use, portability, purchase costs and CE Certified components. Moreover three more requirements were taken into account for the design of the several components: sterility (easy to sterilize components), modularity and ability of components to be used both inside blood and inside solutions. A function analysis demonstrated the most important functions of the DatAssist: sensing of the physical parameters (Pressure, Temperature, Flow), amplification of the analog input signal of the sensors, signal conditioning of the amplified signal, integration and processing of the digital signals with the help of a computer and display of the signal values in a monitor with the use of a Software program and a User interface. For each function, a certain procedure have been developed for defining its planning of implementation. This has resulted in the decision for which components to use in the final device after a scoring evaluation of the candidate components for each function based in their fulfillment to the mentioned above requirements. Additionally for each stage of the design defined by the functions, a functional model has been developed containing the final design of each stage and a test measuring its functionality and the reliability of measurements, as well as error measurements and an accuracy of the measurements estimation. Finally, a prototype of the DatAssist was engineered based on a design decided by the stakeholders having in mind to comply with the List of Requirements. This prototype is going to be tested for its accuracy of the measurements and evaluated according to its fulfillment of the list of requirements. With this study a proven reliable, sterile, portable, easy to use, safe for the user multi purpose medical Data Acquisition System is designed which can be purchased for less than €3000.
