As different means of information visualization become more popular and available both as commercial or open source products, there is an opportunity to use them in the education process by providing students with a larger variety of tools for mastering the required information and skills related to a learning object. The chapter discusses the use of various multimedia tools and edutainment (any entertaining application that has an educational role) in education and e-learning. The need and opportunities of applying 3D models, virtual and augmented reality, and certain means for controlling interactive learning environments are described in detail. Examples of 3D modeling, virtual, and augmented reality applications in history, arts, and medicine (surgery) education are provided.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Cervical mediastinoscopy may become essential in patients with pathological lymph nodes at mediastinum after laryngectomy. However, having had a previous tracheostomy has been reported to be a contraindication for cervical mediastinoscopy. METHODS Between January 2010 and December 2017, cervical mediastinoscopy was performed for lung cancer staging in 1985 patients at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Yedikule Chest Diseases and Thoracic Surgery Education and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. Eighteen of these patients (1%) had a permanent tracheostomy after total laryngectomy and cervical radiotherapy due to laryngeal carcinoma. RESULTS Cervical mediastinoscopy was performed in 18 patients with a permanent tracheostomy after total laryngectomy. The negative predictive value of cervical mediastinoscopy was 13/14 (93%). The average operative time was 63 min (SD 12.0, range 50–90 min). The negative predictive value of endobronchial ultrasonography was 4/7 (57%). Positron emission tomography–computed tomography had a positive predictive value of 3/15 (20%) and a negative predictive value of 2/3 (67%). CONCLUSIONS Contrary to the claims of 2 textbooks, cervical mediastinoscopy is a viable method for patients with a tracheostomy after laryngectomy. The negative predictive values of standard cervical mediastinoscopy and mediastinoscopy for patients with a tracheostomy after total laryngectomy are approximately equivalent. Our results indicate that cervical mediastinoscopy is a feasible method in patients with a permanent tracheostomy when applied by experienced thoracic surgeons in specialized hospitals.
