Our observations may contribute to the discussion of the negative influence of oral isotretinoin on wound healing. Other studies are necessary to reevaluate the current recommendation of a 6- to 12-month waiting period after oral isotretinoin treatment before performing dermabrasion or fractional ablative laser for acne scar revision.
Correction of breast asymmetry, breast hypertrophy, and hypomastia improved the patient's self-esteem. All three groups reported a similar increase in self-esteem (decrease in total scores) after breast reconstruction.
Among patients with demyelinating diseases diagnosed in childhood included in this study there was a high frequency of antinuclear antibody positivity but a lower association with rheumatologic autoimmune diseases than that observed in studies conducted in adults.
Objective
To evaluate students’ qualification after a six-month basic course of Neonatal Performed Echocardiography (NPEcho), adjusted by the motivational profile.
Study design
Prospective cohort of 16 neonatologists/neonatal fellows who underwent the basic NPEcho course in 2019 (18 h face-to-face theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training) and 12 in 2020 (18 h online theoretical classes; 36 h hands-on training). Students’ qualification was defined as ≥70% in post-test, video test, and practical evaluation in neonates. Academic Motivation Scale was applied.
Results
Scores in 2019 vs. 2020 were: pre-test −32% vs. 40% (
p
= 0.029), final theoretical score −78% vs. 69% (
p
= 0.007), and practical evaluation −88% vs. 65% (
p
= 0.003), resulting in 68.8% in 2019 vs. 33.3% in 2020 qualified students. Students’ motivational profile were similar in 2019 and 2020.
Conclusion
The NPEcho was successful in qualifying students with face-to-face theoretical classes, but the online format was inadequate to achieve the learning goals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
