Education's Uncertain Saviour Education's Uncertain Saviour Twenty Years of Research

T issue’s ‘key study’ spanned two decades, starting modestly in 1980 with a study in two schools and peaking in 1995 with an investigation involving over 3500 pupils from 56 schools followed up for six years. What all the studies had in common was a secondary school drug prevention curriculum called Life Skills Training. Behind the curriculum and the research is the psychologist Professor Gilbe...

The objective of this study is to investigate the flow patterns of blood and the distribution of shear stress in a complete bypass anastomosis model in coronary artery using computational fluid dynamics. Blood is considered as Newtonian, homogeneous and incompressible fluid. Using suitable boundary conditions, the continuity and momentum conservation equations are solved using Finite Element Me...

comparison of spinal needle deflection in a ballistic gel model

conclusions there is clinical utility in knowing the relative deflection of various needle tips. when a procedure requires a needle to be steered around obstacles, or along non-collinear targets, the predictable and large amount of deflection obtained through use of a beveled spinal needle may prove beneficial. materials and methods six needles commonly used in spinal procedures (quincke, short...

Needle guide in shoulder arthroscopy – a technique

Distension of joint with fluid is often used to facilitate insertion of arthroscope. This may prove difficult at times in the shoulder joint, as unlike the knee, it is deeply situated, making extravasation of fluid outside the capsule, a common occurrence. This is especially true in very tight joints and is often a problem for beginners. We describe here a very effective and simple technique wh...
