Predicting pediatric patient rehabilitation outcomes after spinal deformity surgery with artificial intelligence by Wenqi Shi, Felipe O. Giuste, Yuanda Zhu, Ben J. Tamo, Micky C. Nnamdi, Andrew Hornback, Ashley M. Carpenter, Coleman Hilton, Henry J. Iwinski, J. Michael Wattenbarger, May D. Wang

“…Additionally, we demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed prediction method to predict other patient rehabilitation outcomes based on minimal clinically important differences (MCID) and correction rates across all three-time horizons. Conclusions Based on the relationship analysis, we suggest additional attention to sagittal parameters (e.g., lordosis, sagittal vertical axis) and patient self-image beyond major Cobb angles to improve surgical decision-making for AIS patients. …”

Integrating Hybrid Team-Based and Case-Based Learning in Dental Education Transformation by Sidra Abid, Humna Rafiq

“…In this vein the combination of CBL and TBL at tertiary level contributes to the improvement of students` academic performance and engagement so the hybrid form of CBL and TBL is qualified to narrow the gap between secondary and higher educational systems creating active learning and positive social interdependence1 and this means that this tactic allows students not only to participate in the topic fully, but also to encourage ethical-based decision- making.2  Hybrid TBL is the method where students learn all concepts of their studies in a way that students are really being engaged. …”

Alternatively, the exhumation of the mantle is considered as a major source of heat and stress that favored brine migration along the major shear zones. …”
