To compare the perceptions of participants before and after a one-day workshop on Simulation-based Education. The other objective was to determine the feedback of participants about the one day workshop on Simulation-based Education. ⋯ The study signifiacnaty changed the faculty members' perceptions of simulation-based education.These encouraging findings may influence their future practice in simulation-based education, allowing them to provide safe, high-quality health care in the workplace and, eventually, enhance patient outcomes.

To apply the more accurate technique for mandibular superimposition and provide a valuable reference for the assessment of mandibular tooth movement and condylar remodeling before and after orthodontic treatment. ⋯ All mandibular superimposition procedures, including the voxel- and surface-based ones using the mandibular ramus as a reference, have acceptable surface errors (< 0.20 mm), indicating the good reliability of these techniques. Under the specified conditions, surface-based mandibular superimposition appears to yield a higher degree of precision compared with the voxel-based technique.

To compare the outcomes of modified extended right lobe graft (MERLG) and modified right lobe graft (MRLG) in living-donor liver transplantation (LDLT). ⋯ With appropriate technical expertise, MERLGs are technically safe and feasible in LDLT donors without any added risks. MERLGs also yielded better outcomes in sick recipients.

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in term and preterm neonates with respiratory distress by evaluating successful outcomes, identifying factors contributing to treatment failure, and documenting associated complications. ⋯ This study affirms the effectiveness of CPAP in addressing neonatal respiratory distress. The utilization of CPAP emerges as a valuable intervention that not only reduces the requirement for invasive ventilation but also exhibits the potential to alleviate morbidity and mortality rates among neonatal populations.

To compare voice related quality of life of smoker and non-smoker university teachers. ⋯ The study concludes that smoking has a detrimental effect on voice and voice related quality of life of university teachers and voice related quality of life as determined by VRQOL scale is significantly better in non-smokers.
