Debriefing is the practice of after session review of training performance to enhance self-reflection through feedback. It has been considered as a vital and crucial part of simulation-based medical training. However an accurate, objective and in-depth evaluation of trainee performance has been a significant challenge. To address this we developed a knowledge-based framework in which the criteria...
Percutaneous nephrolithotomy is one of the most effective and invasive surgeries in renal calculi therapies. Traditional puncture training simulation is conducted by animals' organs or bench models which does not represent neither visual nor tactile clues through the actual procedure. In addition, the accuracy of the training results is also debatable due to the artificial setup. In this paper, we...
Percutaneous surgery is a typical minimally invasive surgery. Featuring minimization in trauma and infection rate as well as rapid recovery time to patients, percutaneous therapy has replaced various traditional open surgery approaches and has become an essential approach for a series of clinic operations over the past decades. However, the practice and training for such a vocational manual skill...
There are three different approaches for functional observer design for Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) systems within the literature. One of the most common methods has been proposed by Aldeen [1] and further developed by others. We found several examples in which the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a functional observer are actually not sufficient for this methodology. This...
