Objective: to make an inventory and assess the training in radiology in Togo. Methodology: Descriptive study, with opinion survey, carried out from June to August 2016 including students in Master and Residents in radiology of the academic year 2015 - 2016. Results: The response rate was 91%. All the training sites had conventional radiography and functional ultrasound. For 57% of students the quality of practical instruction was 4/5. The availability of teachers was acceptable (3/5) to good (4/5) according to 84%. Competence for examinations varies from bad (2/5) to excellent (5/5) for the Master 1 and from good to excellent in Master 2. The difference in responses was not significant regardless of the year of study or training course (p> 0.05). For the performance and interpretation of radiological examinations, the junior residents were considered mediocre (1/5) to acceptable versus acceptable to seniors. For an ultrasound, this score varied from 1/5 for the juniors residents to 4/5 for the seniors. The competence to carry out a vessels ultrasound Doppler was 1/5 for the junior residents and 2/5 for the senior. Conclusion: Learners in radiology in Togo are generally satisfied with the training they receive. Acquisitions of significant skills have been observed from one level of training to another.

Sixty-two students, graduating in 1975 from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Nairobi, Kenya, were sent a questionnaire, which was returned by 41. The graduates scored 4 aspects of the teaching in each subject on a scale from 1 = very poor to 5 = very good. The overall average for all years was 3.51 ± .45, indicating that the teaching was regarded as satisfactory, but not as particularly good. The variation between subjects was large, the poorest subject getting an average score of 2.78 ± .78 and the best a score of 3.94 ± .68, the coefficient of variation ranging from 14 to 28. In many subjects the practical instruction was rated much lower than the theoretical one, and in one case the difference was as large as 1.61 points. The use and quality of teaching material was generally rated lower than theoretical instruction, as were examinations. These results, as well as the comments provided by the students indicate that there is considerable scope for improvement of the teaching in many subjects.

Introduction. This study aims to investigate the clinical practice states on the diagnosis and treatment for insomnia between Korean medical general practitioners (KMGPs) and Korean medical neuropsychiatry specialists (KMNPSs). Methods. We distributed questionnaires via email or in person to 1,017 KMGPs and via email to 165 KMNPSs. We collected and analyzed responses from 305 (30.00%) KMGPs and 53 (32.12%) KMNPSs. Results. Most KMGPs and KMNPSs responded that the number of new patients visiting the clinic for treatment of insomnia was less than 10 per month (78.2%). Frequently utilized therapies for insomnia are acupuncture and herbal decoctions. Particularly acupoint GV20 and Guipi decoction were chosen with the highest response rate. There was no difference between KMNPSs and KMGPs in the traditional Korean medical diagnosis methods. However, KMNPSs utilized more various methods to diagnose, treat, and evaluate insomnia and educated more actively sleep hygiene compared to KMGPs. Conclusions. This survey showed how insomnia is currently diagnosed and treated in Korean medical care settings. Moreover, we identified some differences between KMNPSs and KMGPs. Further research is required to explore the underlying reasons for these discrepancies among KMDs and to improve the quality of Korean medical clinical practice in treating insomnia.

Recent work on student perceptions of skills development and engagement with different teaching and learning approaches have provided useful evidence bases for practitioners aiming to enhance the student learning experience. Although there has been some useful research on student expectations in non-STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) disciplines, there remains an opportunity to measure and analyse the expectations of students in STEM disciplines, particularly chemistry. The aim of this study was to measure the expectations that first year undergraduate chemists have of the types of learning experiences that will be included in their degree programmes, the amount of time per week that they will devote to different aspects of study and the types of learning behaviours they will adopt. Data was collected using questionnaires deployed at the Universities of Leicester and Sussex in the 2017/18 academic year. The study has shown that many students overestimate the amount of lecture based (59%) and small group based (57%) contact time they expect to have. Students appear to place a high value on the importance of feedback in the learning process but the proportion of students who agree they will read and act on feedback decreases over the course of the academic year. A number of factors feed into student reflections on the difference between expectation and reality including the quality of student life (e.g. quality of accommodation and social activities), value-for-money concerns (e.g. the amount of contact time and the quality of teaching) and matters related to workload and learning support.

Abstract Background Since person-centered care (PCC) is widely embraced and internationally considered to increase effectiveness and quality of complex health care today this study sets out to investigate its relation to ward level outcomes such as length of hospital stay (LoS), involuntary treatments and ward burden. An educational intervention for staff, using a participatory approach, was created to increase the person-centeredness of the care delivered at four inpatient psychosis wards. 6 conference days spread over a 6 months period with practical work at home wards in-between let participants receive information on, discuss and test the principles of PCC, such as acknowledge patients resources, preferences and experiences, working in partnership with patients to co-create the care plan, and documenting agreements. Methods Data for all patients receiving care at the inpatient services during data collection periods before (n = 416) and after (n = 375) the intervention, including LoS, length of involuntary stay (LoIS) as well as number of episodes involving restraints, seclusions and forced injections, were extracted from the clinic registry. During the same data collection periods one staff member per day and ward filled out a VAS rating (1 = no burden – 10 =highest imaginable burden) capturing experienced ward burden (n = 505, 60% response rate vs n = 465, 45% response rate). Mean or median of each variable was used for comparative analysis. Results A longer LoS was found after implementation (Md = 21.1, n = 416 vs Md = 26.2, n = 375), U = 85894, p = .014, r = .09. LoIS was shorter after implementation (Md = 10.6 vs Md = 6.6), the difference was however not significant U = 74263, p = .231. Analysis of data on involuntary treatments are underway and will be presented. Ward burden was rated significantly lower after implementation (M = 5.4, SD = 1.94 vs M = 4.5, SD = 2.08), t = 7.5 (968), p <.0005. Discussion Although study design prevents conclusions on cause and effect, the results indicate a beneficial development for perceived care burden after implementation of PCC. The increased LoS could be interpreted as a result of more thorough attention to patient needs. It could also be due to differences between groups in terms of severity of symptom and functional ability at admission.

The Difference

Abstract The author of the two-part article about evaluating reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) responds to criticisms that a percentage impairment score may not adequately reflect the disability of an individual with RSD. The author highlights the importance of recognizing the difference between impairment and disability in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides): impairment is the loss, loss of use, or derangement of any body part, system, or function; disability is a decrease in or the loss or absence of the capacity to meet personal, social, or occupational demands or to meet statutory or regulatory requirements because of an impairment. The disparity between impairment and disability can be encountered in diverse clinical scenarios. For example, a person's ability to resume occupational activities following a major cardiac event depends on medical, social, and psychological factors, but nonmedical factors appear to present the greatest impediment and many persons do not resume work despite significant improvements in functional capacity. A key requirement according to the AMA Guides is objective documentation, and the author agrees that when physicians consider the disability evaluation of people, more issues than those relating to the percentage loss of function should be considered. More study of the relationships among impairment, disability, and quality of life in patients with RSD are required.

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic disease that can bring about the sufferer's self-stigma and also affect his quality of life. A number of studies report that living with TB has a negative influence on the quality of life of sufferers even with or without self-stigma. The purpose of this study was to identify the quality of life of TB patients who experienced self-stigma. This research is a descriptive study, sample were 31 pulmonary TB patients. Data was collected using a questionnaire. Data analyzed by using frequency distribution and percentage. The researcher first screened TB patients who experienced self-stigma. The results showed that 25 people (80.64%) respondents experienced mild self-stigma. A total of 9 respondents (36%) had a quality of life score in the good category and as many as 16 respondents (64%) had enough category with an average quality of life score is 56.57. While respondents who had moderate self-stigma were 6 people (19.36%) with a good quality of life score was 1 person (16.67%) and enough category quality of life score were 5 people (83.33%) with an average quality of life score is 49.92.

The construction and selection of a suitable bijective function, that is, substitution, is now becoming an important applied task, particularly for building block encryption systems. Many articles have suggested using different approaches to determining the quality of substitution, but most of them are highly computationally complex. The solution of this problem will significantly expand the range of methods for constructing and analyzing scheme in information protection systems. The purpose of research is to find easily measurable characteristics of substitutions, allowing to evaluate their quality, and also measures of the proximity of a particular substitutions to a random one, or its distance from it. For this purpose, several characteristics were proposed in this work: difference and polynomial, and their mathematical expectation was found, as well as variance for the difference characteristic. This allows us to make a conclusion about its quality by comparing the result of calculating the characteristic for a particular substitution with the calculated mathematical expectation. From a computational point of view, the thesises of the article are of exceptional interest due to the simplicity of the algorithm for quantifying the quality of bijective function substitutions. By its nature, the operation of calculating the difference characteristic carries out a simple summation of integer terms in a fixed and small range. Such an operation, both in the modern and in the prospective element base, is embedded in the logic of a wide range of functional elements, especially when implementing computational actions in the optical range, or on other carriers related to the field of nanotechnology.
