Introduction More and more educational institutions are discovering the advantages of settings for digital teaching and learning and the technology of virtual reality (VR). This also holds true for the BZ Pflege in the field of continuing education with age-heterogeneous groups of participants. The question arises whether baby-boomers and X and Y generation learners accept, understand and perceive the digital form of learning with VR glasses as beneficial for their learning. Project description A course has been developed with the goal of teaching the anatomy of the heart by immersive visualisation. A questionnaire was used to determine how the use of VR glasses influenced participants` learning, acceptance, understanding and cognitive load. Results The participants reacted positively to the VR technology. The new learning technology did not lead to cognitive overload. Participants indicated that they were able to link new knowledge with already existing knowledge. They also found the VR glasses easy to use. Conclusion From the perspective of participants and project management alike, it can be said that age- heterogeneous groups present no obstacle for new innovative teaching methods, such as the use of VR glasses.Aim The seminar program of the KWBW Verbundweiterbildungplus® is offered by the Competence Center for Postgraduate Medical Education in Baden-Württemberg (KWBW) for physicians specializing in general practice (GP trainees). Attendance is a voluntary one comprised of 48 curricular units of 45 minutes each per GP trainee. This seminar program is meant to be attended in parallel to the postgraduate medical education in clinic or practice. The intention behind this project was to develop objectives, topics and a feasible structure for a seminar curriculum while taking time and financial constraints into account. Method The Kern cycle was applied in an open, modified nominal group consensus technique in the form of an iterative process. ICG-001 manufacturer Participating were 17 experts from the departments of general practice at the universities in Freiburg, Heidelberg, Tuebingen and Ulm, plus a pediatrician. Results The main objective was defined as empowering GP trainees to independently provide high-quality primary care, includingl practice. Despite the current shift to eLearning seminars due to SARS-CoV, the program's implementation is being continued, constantly evaluated, and used to further develop the KWBW Verbundweiterbildungplus® program.
Guidelines recommend the PRECISE-DAPT (PD) score to adapt duration of dual antiplatelet therapy due to bleeding risk. However, there is first evidence that PD predicts mortality and ischemic events as well.

We investigated PD Score in 994 patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). PD was correlated with clinically frequently used scores. Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) bleeding were assessed during one-year follow-up.

524 patients had PD < 25 and 470 patients PD ≥ 25 (47%). Rate of major and minor bleeding was higher in the PD ≥ 25 group (major bleeding Hazard ratio [HR] 2.9, 95% confidence interval [Cl] 1.01-8.16, p = 0.049; minor bleeding HR 3.94, 95% Cl 1.36-9.19, p = 0.0096). Rate of MACCE, death and myocardial infarction were higher as well (MACCE HR 2.0, 95% Cl 1.52-2.71, p < 0.0001; death HR 3.9, 95% Cl 2.12-5.68, p < 0.0001; MI HR 2.1, 95% Cl 1.26-3.43, p = 0.0041). Rate of stroke/transient ischemic attack did not differ between groups. Discriminative potency to predict major and minor bleeding, MACCE, death and MI were high with nearly equal cut-off values calculated by Youden's index (YI) (major bleeding Area under the curve [AUC] 0.66; p = 0.026; YI 32; minor bleeding AUC 0.72; p = 0.001; YI 28; MACCE AUC 0.62; p < 0.0001; YI 24).

In our cohort, PD score predicted bleeding moderately in post-PCI patients. In this study, ischemic events were predicted as well. Adaption of antiplatelet therapy duration by PD score is accurate. Nevertheless, it should be well-balanced with patient-related risk for ischemic events.

Analyzing linguistic functions can improve early detection of Alzheimer's disease (AD). To date, no studies have focused on creating a universal pipeline for clinical transcript preprocessing.

This article presents a simple and efficient method for processing linguistic and phonetic data, sequencing subproblems of cleaning, normalization, and measure extraction tasks. Because some of these tasks are language- and context- dependent, they were designed to be easily configurable, thus increasing their scalability when dealing with new corpora.

Results show improved performances over previous studies in this time-consuming preprocessing task. Moreover, our findings showed that some discursive markers extracted from transcripts revealed a significant correlation (>0.5) with cognitive impairment severity.

This article contributes to the literature on AD by presenting an efficient pipeline that allows speeding up the transcripts preprocessing task. We further invite other researchers to contribute to this work to help improve the quality of this pipeline (https//github.com/LiNCS-lab/usAge).

This study examined associations between pandemic-related PTSD symptoms and substance use among adults, the role of gender and socioeconomic status in these outcomes, and the supports that adults needed to address these problems during Wave 1 of the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, Canada.

Data were collected from 933 community-based adults without a previous diagnosis of PTSD in June 2020. The Primary Care PTSD Screen was adapted to assess pandemic-related PTSD symptoms. Participants were asked if alcohol or cannabis use had increased in the past month. Adjusted logistic regression models examined associations between pandemic-related PTSD symptoms and substance use.

More women (19%) than men (13%) met criteria for high pandemic-related PTSD symptomology, while a similar percentage (13.4% of women, 13.2% of men) reported significant increases in substance use during the pandemic. Adults 18-35years; those who believed they would become infected with the virus; and those with low income, education, or pandemic-related job loss were more likely to report PTSD symptoms.
