Background: Loss of skin integrity is one of the most common problems in Plastic surgery. Split thickness skin graft is the gold standard in coverage of raw areas but it carries multiple complications like donor site morbidity. The dermal graft may add another autologous option for wound coverage with a concealed donor site scar.
Aim:The aim of our study is to assess the safety, limitations, and complications of split thickness dermal graft in coverage of raw areas and to compare it to the standard Split thickness skin graft.
Patients and Methods:The study was conducted on 38 patients with raw areas, who attended the outpatient clinics and
Background Formal regional Paediatric teaching was cancelled after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Local teaching was impacted upon by social distancing, rota redesign, redeployment and home working, and was completely paused in many units. Objectives Acknowledging the potential impact of this on trainees, particularly those in departments with no teaching, or those shielding at home, and keen to facilitate an equitable training experience for all, we formed a novel collaborative pan-region virtual Paediatric teaching network. Methods Departments who had established virtual teaching
findings along with the literature would assist in making recommendations for this Paediatric app. Results 27 papers were included in this review. Three papers were identified that studied apps specifically in aspects of Paediatrics. Overall, the studies showed that medical apps were an effective education tool by medical students during clinical placements. Survey results showed that medical apps were used by 43% of participants and 97% would like a Paediatric medical app to assist their learning during a Paediatric placement. Conclusions Further long term studies are required to see the effects of medical apps in learning. More studies are also required to show how medical apps are beneficial for learning specifically during a Paediatric placement. A future Paediatric app should include concise information regarding common Paediatric conditions and have a simple design for quick use in practice.
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.
