Type 1 diabetes is associated with cognitive changes in children and adults, but the extent to which cognition declines with increasing age, and increasing duration of diabetes, remains poorly understood. This cross-sectional study assessed neuropsychological performance on 200 diabetic and 175 nondiabetic adults, 18-64 years of age, stratified into five age bands. Similar age-related cognitive...

Training and assessment paradigms for laparoscopic surgical skills are evolving from traditional mentor-trainee tutorship towards structured, more objective and safer programs. Accreditation of surgeons requires reaching a consensus on metrics and tasks used to assess surgeons' psychomotor skills. Ongoing development of tracking systems and software solutions has allowed for the expansion of no...

Psychomotor skills are important for engineering students to have become a professional engineer or technician. skills, often known as manual physical abilities, typically developed in laboratory. This study's primary objective was evaluate the performance comparison of students’ psychomotor during open-distance and face-to-face learning structural material Instead simply following pre-establis...

BACKGROUND Laparoscopy training has become an integral part of surgical education. Suturing and knot tying is a basic, yet inherent part of many laparoscopic operations, and should be mastered prior to operating on patients. One common and standardized suturing technique is the C-loop technique. In the standard training setting, on a box trainer, the trainee learns the psychomotor movements of ...

BACKGROUND The practice of anesthesia requires good awareness, parallel decision-making and fine motor skills. The duration of working hours of anesthesiology residents is often more than 12 hours. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to measure cognitive and psychomotor functions of anesthesiology residents after 12 working hours. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was an observational study on anesthesiolo...
