Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

10.3K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Egoism and Altruism

93.4K
Voluntary behavior with the intent to help other people is called prosocial behavior. Why do people help other people? Is personal benefit such as feeling good about oneself the only reason people help one another?

Classification of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

59.5K
Skeletal muscles continuously produce ATP to provide the energy that enables muscle contractions. Skeletal muscle fibers can be categorized into three types based on differences in their contraction speed and how they produce ATP, as well as physical differences related to these factors. Most human muscles contain all three muscle fiber types, albeit in varying proportions.

Empathy

10.1K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Surgical Education
  • Robotic Surgery

Background:

  • Current robotic training in urology is often unstructured.
  • Lacks foundational skills and nontechnical human factor skills training.
  • Assessment of acquired robotic surgical skills is not routinely performed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Review current literature on robotic surgery training methods.
  • Examine evidence for the impact of training on surgical performance.
  • Identify needs for structured and standardized robotic surgery curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of robotic surgery training methods.
  • Analysis of evidence on skill acquisition and performance outcomes.
  • Examination of existing and developing urological robotic curricula.

Main Results:

  • Dry lab simulators demonstrate efficacy in robotic skills acquisition.
  • Limited evidence supports cadaveric and animal models for skills acquisition.
  • Comprehensive robotic training curricula are under development and validation.

Conclusions:

  • Future robotic urology training will likely be standardized and mandated.
  • Telementoring and trainer education will play key roles.
  • Regular revalidation for expert robotic surgeons is anticipated.
