Effectiveness of E‐Learning in Undergraduate ENT Education: A Mixed‐Methods Systematic Review

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
E‐learning in undergraduate ear, nose, and throat education was evaluated in a mixed‐methods systematic review of 29 studies. Pooled analysis showed a modest knowledge gain of 26.8%, variable effects on skills, and consistent improvements in learner confidence. These findings support e‐learning as a useful adjunct, rather than a standalone replacement,

Unilateral Nasopharyngeal Endoscopic Resection Type III: Technical Notes 

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
The present video case report details technical notes of Nasopharyngeal Endoscopic Resection (NER) Type III, performed for a mucosal melanoma in a 71‐year‐old patient. Key surgical steps—such as achieving optimal exposure, employing Doppler‐guided internal carotid artery localization, and applying vascularized flap coverage—are outlined, demonstrating ...

Experimental and numerical polar scans of several anisotropic materials using pulsed and harmonic ultrasonic beams [PDF]

, 2011
Ultrasonic non-destructive testing is a well known technique in present days, in which the C-scan is the most wide spread. Though, because of the inherent limitations of most methods to quantitatively characterize (damaged) composite materials, the quest

Development of a moored radium in situ sampler to measure annual time series

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Radium is a useful tracer of sediment‐derived materials, improving our understanding of the geochemical cycling of elements at ocean boundaries. We have developed an autonomous in situ sampler to collect time series samples of radium isotopes on mooring deployments.

Assessment of Optimal T1/T2‐Weighted Combinations for Myelin Sensitivity: Effects of Echo Time and Exponents

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose The aim of this study is to improve the traditional T1‐weighted (T1w) over T2‐weighted (T2w) ratio as a proxy for myelin by investigating the optimal T2w TE and combination of exponent‐weighted T1w and T2w images (T1wx1/T2wx2$$ \mathrm{T}1{\mathrm{w}}^{x_1}/\mathrm{T}2{\mathrm{w}}^{x_2} $$).

Ruling out the power-law form of the scalar primordial spectrum

, 2014
Combining Planck CMB temperature [1] and BICEP2 B-mode polarization data [2,3] we show qualitatively that, assuming inflationary consistency relation, the power-law form of the scalar primordial spectrum is ruled out at more than $3\sigma$ CL. This is an

Rehabilitation paired with vagus nerve stimulation for motor function of chronic ischemic stroke patients in China: Study protocol of a multicenter randomized controlled trial (Repair Study)

Neuroprotection, EarlyView.
Mechanism of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with movement: VNS activates cholinergic nucleus basalis and noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons, modulating motor cortex activity (light green and red areas) in a task‐specific manner during targeted movements. VNS: vagus nerve stimulation.
