Tumor Progression02:07

Tumor Progression

7.4K
Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

4.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Parallel Processing01:20

Parallel Processing

713
The brain processes sensory information rapidly due to parallel processing, which involves sending data across multiple neural pathways at the same time. This method allows the brain to manage various sensory qualities, such as shapes, colors, movements, and locations, all concurrently. For instance, when observing a forest landscape, the brain simultaneously processes the movement of leaves, the shapes of trees, the depth between them, and the various shades of green. This enables a quick and...

Information Processing Approach01:30

Information Processing Approach

564
The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

Processes of Self-Presentation01:29

Processes of Self-Presentation

248
Effective self-presentation is a central component of social interaction and identity construction. It relies on the dynamic processes of defining the situation and engaging in self-disclosure. These mechanisms help individuals navigate social context expectations and manage how others perceive them, fostering mutual understanding and relationship development.Defining the SituationSocial situations are shaped by collectively understood frames—a set of widely understood rules or...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Robot-assisted surgery is expanding, increasing the need for standardized training.
  • A lack of high-level evidence exists for training robotic surgery trainers.
  • This study addresses the need for a consensus-based curriculum for robotic surgery training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide guidance on an optimized "train-the-trainer" (TTT) educational program for surgical trainers.
  • To standardize the approach to training candidates in robotic surgery skill acquisition.
  • To define key elements of a TTT course for robotic surgery through expert consensus.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of current evidence.
  • Delphi methodology involving 32 international experts.
  • Three rounds of surveys with consensus defined as ≥80% agreement.

Main Results:

  • 100% consensus on the need for a standardized TTT course in robotic surgery.
  • Consensus reached on definitions, qualifications, objectives, e-learning, content, and outcome measurement.
  • The formulated curriculum demonstrated high internal consistency (Cronbach alpha = 0.90).

Conclusions:

  • International expert consensus was achieved for a standardized TTT curriculum in robotic surgery.
  • This curriculum provides a foundation for a proficiency-based progression model for trainers.
  • Further validation of the TTT curriculum is required.
