Abstract Introduction Stress can affect the ability to acquire technical skills. Simulation-based training (SBT) courses allow surgical trainees to train their technical skills away from stressful clinical environments. Trainees’ subjective experiences of stress during SBT courses on laparoscopic surgery remains understudied. Here, we explored the subjective stress experiences of surgical trainees during mandatory laparoscopic SBT courses. We aimed to obtain a broader understanding of which factors of the simulation training the trainees perceived as eliciting...

Rare earth elements, comprising the 15 lanthanoids (LN; IIIb in the Periodic Table) plus yttrium are critical elements for a wide range of applications, including new and traditional industries as renewable energy, automotive industries, metallurgy as well as agriculture and medical diagnostics. Rising REY production and use can lead to an increased release into the environment and represents a potential environmental concern. However, the bioavailability and effects of REY and anthropogenic REY-chemical complexes (ACC-REY) remain...

Abstract Background The effects of stress on surgical residents and how stress management training can prepare residents to effectively manage stressful situations is a relevant topic. This systematic review aimed to analyze the literature regarding (1) the current stress monitoring tools and their use in surgical environments, (2) the current methods in surgical stress management training, and (3) how stress affects surgical performance. Methods A search strategy was implemented to retrieve relevant articles from Web...

Abstract Background Despite growing numbers of studies reporting the efficacy of complex interventions and their implementation, many studies fail to report information on implementation fidelity or describe how fidelity measures used within the study were developed. This study aimed to develop a fidelity checklist for measuring the implementation fidelity of an early, stroke-specialist vocational rehabilitation intervention (ESSVR) in the RETAKE trial. Methods To develop the fidelity measure, previous checklists were reviewed to inform the assessment...

Rising rare earth elements (comprising the 15 lanthanoids plus yttrium (REY)) processing and use can lead to increased anthropogenic REY release into the environment, representing a potential environmental concern. Seaweeds due to their key ecological role as primary producers, habitat forming organisms and their tendency to accumulate metals have been largely used for monitoring anthropogenic pollution in coastal areas. In this study we assessed REY contents in Saccarina latissima seaweed to identify potential anthropogenic REY...
