Molecular Models

43.6K
Physical models representing molecular architectures of chemical compounds play essential roles in understanding chemistry. The use of molecular models makes it easier to visualize the structures and shapes of atoms and molecules.

The Bohr Model

80.4K
Following the work of Ernest Rutherford and his colleagues in the early twentieth century, the picture of atoms consisting of tiny dense nuclei surrounded by lighter and even tinier electrons continually moving about the nucleus was well established. This picture was called the planetary model since it pictured the atom as a miniature “solar system” with the electrons orbiting the nucleus like planets orbiting the sun. The simplest atom is hydrogen, consisting of a single proton as the...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.4K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Clearance Models: Physiological Models01:09

Clearance Models: Physiological Models

296
Drug clearance is a critical pharmacokinetic process involving the irreversible removal of drugs from the body through various organs over a specified time period. Physiological models are indispensable in determining organ-specific clearance, defined by the proportion of the drug eliminated per unit of time from the organ's blood volume.
The organ's clearance rate depends on the blood flow to the organ and the extraction ratio (E). The extraction ratio describes the organ's...

Clearance Models: Compartment Models

302
Clearance measures drug elimination from the central compartment, including plasma and highly perfused organs like kidneys and liver. Its calculation varies depending on pharmacokinetic models and administration routes. The one-compartment model, for instance, portrays the pharmacokinetics of polar drugs such as aminoglycoside antibiotics administered intravenously and readily excreted in urine. In this case, clearance is influenced by the terminal rate constant (λz) and the total volume...

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model01:20

Compartment Models: Two-Compartment Model

7.0K
The two-compartment model divides the body into central and peripheral compartments to account for varying blood perfusion rates among organs and tissues, affecting drug distribution. The central compartment includes blood and highly perfused tissues with rapid drug distribution, while the peripheral compartment contains tissues with slower drug distribution. After a single IV bolus dose, the drug concentration is high in plasma and low in tissues. The drug distribution between compartments...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Surgical Training
  • Anatomical Modeling

Background:

  • Subcutaneous abscess treatment is a frequent challenge across medical specialties.
  • Existing incision and drainage simulation models are often costly and difficult to reproduce.
  • There is a need for accessible, realistic, and cost-effective training tools for abscess management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a low-cost, reproducible simulation model for subcutaneous abscesses.
  • To assess the model's content validity using pre-clinical medical students' feedback.

Main Methods:

  • A realistic subcutaneous abscess model was created using readily available, inexpensive materials.
  • The model was implemented in a fresh cadaver laboratory setting.
  • Content validity was assessed via pre- and post-intervention surveys administered to 25 pre-clinical medical students.

Main Results:

  • The developed model effectively simulated common subcutaneous abscess presentations.
  • Post-training surveys indicated a statistically significant improvement in all measured outcomes.
  • The model proved to be a valuable tool for enhancing procedural skills.

Conclusions:

  • This novel abscess model offers a cost-effective and realistic simulation for surgical training.
  • It can be easily integrated into fresh cadaver labs for multi-procedural resident training.
  • The model's affordability, ease of use, and reduced preparation time make it a practical educational resource.
