I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, there has been a verifiable increase in the use of virtual reality (VR) simulation technology for clinical purposes. Although results are varied, studies have shown evidence that the use of VR in surgical training results in improvement in practicing surgical skills. Unfortunately, such simulators are expensive and thus are not targeted for use by student popula...

Exclusion criteria included concomit...

Aim: Although arteriovenous fistula (AVF) has been shown as the first choice for hemodialysis (HD), its superiority over central venous catheter (CVC) is still controversial considering risk factors. Aim was to compare AVF and CVC, which should be used vascular access in HD.
 Material Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according use of CVC. The compared terms age, gender, body ...

The increasing incidence of complicated diseases in Bali could indicate that diabetes self-care is not optimal. Diabetes mellitus, also abbreviated as DM, a non-communicable disease whose number sufferers increasing. This study aims to examine the effectiveness audiovisual-based DSME on knowledge and skills for type 2 diabetes. design this was quasi-experimental with control group. sample resea...

This study determined the effect of a high vs low resistive inspiratory muscle interval training protocol on inspiratory muscle strength (PImax), incremental inspiratory threshold loading (Pitl), inspiratory muscle endurance (IE), and 12-minute distance test (12 MD) in severely impaired patients with COPD. We used a double-blind, two-group, repeated-measure design. Group 1 (n = 12) received sup...
