Development of Integrated Anatomy E-Tutorial by Medical Students, Using Anatomy-TV

Background: With increasing availability of a huge variety of resources online for anatomy learning, variability in the quantity and reliability of information makes learning complicated for students. Hence, we created a student-made E-tutorial as a one-stop resource, which integrates gross anatomy, surface anatomy, and clinical relevance, with content verified by teaching staff. Summary of work: Review of the University of Glasgow’s medical curriculum highlighted areas that needed reinforcement. Articulate Storyline software was used to create an Anatomy E-tutorial on ‘Hand-and-Wrist’. High-quality gross anatomical images from Anatomy-TV, and surface anatomy images and videos captured by digital-photography, were our main focus. Interactive features of Articulate Storyline were employed to allow an engaging user-experience. Summary of results: This is a pilot study and end-user evaluation will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the E-Tutorial. Target end-users are Years 1 and 2 medical students at the University of Glasgow. Results will be presented at the conference. Discussion: Information online is not tailored to the curriculum and are not always verified by experts. Also, due to the lack of required resources online, production of our own videos and images was necessary to address requirements of the curriculum. After end-user evaluation, quantitative and qualitative data will be analysed and presented. Conclusion: This E-Tutorial encompasses various aspects of anatomy teaching, serving as a guide and revision tool. It is a unique attempt at creating an educational resource using Articulate Storyline, which has not been attempted before. Take-home messages: This product will help our colleagues as it is made by students and tailored to the integrated anatomy teaching

Radiation protection in complex endovascular procedures

Endovascular procedures are becoming more complex and intricate as technology evolves. This is very favourable for patients, who can have mora advanced procedures performed with minimal morbidity and mortality. However these advances come at the cost of increased radiation dosage to the operating surgeon, interventionist and angiosuite team. We present a review article of the current problems facing the interventional team and of possible solutions

Single- and Multilayered Perovskite Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications

Organic–inorganic lead halide perovskites materials have emerged as an innovative candidate in the development of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices, due to their appealing electrical and optical properties. Herein, mix halide single-layer (~95 nm) and multilayer (average layer ~87 nm) CH3NH3PbIBr2 thinfilms were grown by a one-step spin coating method. In this study, both films maintained their perovskite structure along with the appearance of a pseudo-cubic phase of (200) at 30.16°. Single-layer and multilayer CH3NH3PbIBr2 thinfilms displayed leaky ferroelectric behavior, and multilayered thinfilm showed a leakage current of ~5.06 × 10−6 A and resistivity of ~1.60 × 106 Ω.cm for the applied electric field of 50 kV/cm. However, optical analysis revealed that the absorption peak of multilayered perovskite is sharper than a single layer in the visible region rather than infrared (IR) and near-infrared region (NIR). The band gap of the thinfilms was measured by Tauc plot, giving the values of 2.07 eV and 1.81 eV for single-layer and multilayer thinfilms, respectively. The structural analysis has also been performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Moreover, the fabricated CH3NH3PbIBr2 as an absorber layer for photoelectric cell demonstrated a power conversion efficiency of 7.87% and fill factor of 72%. Reported electrical, optical and photoelectric efficiency-based results suggest that engineered samples are suitable candidates for utilization in optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices
