A Randomized-Controlled Trial Using Point of Care Ultrasound to Evaluate Volunteer Patients in the Emergency Department Versus a Manikin Simulator for Improving Knowledge and Confi... by Patel B, Dobiesz VA, Goldsmith AJ, Montgomery MW, Osman NY, Pelletier SR, Miller MS, Shields HM

“…The primary end point was assessment of student knowledge and confidence at the 3-month longitudinal time period.Results: At the 3-month longitudinal survey, there was no statistical difference in the primary end point of questions correctly answered by students in the experimental group compared to those in the control group (88% vs 86.5%, p = 0.713, NS), and no statistical difference in reported confidence between students in the experimental group from those in the control group (4.22 vs 4.10, p = 0.846, NS).Conclusion: In this randomized-controlled trial using POCUS to assess hypotension and shock, there were no significant differences in learner knowledge and confidence between students in the ED experimental group learning from volunteer patients versus the control group learning from a manikin simulator indicating that the methods may be equally effective in teaching POCUS.Keywords: simulation, medical education, point of care ultrasound, volunteer patients…”

Calculation of The Imaginary Part of Atomic Form Factor For X-ray In Nickel by Ahmed Raheem Ahmed, Muhsin Hasan Ali

“… In the present study, we calculated the imaginary part of the x-ray scattering factor of nickel based on the principles of quantum mechanics to find a wave function that describes the electronic state of atoms by approximate methods, observed the study suggested that in both low energy values , and at high energy values , the imaginary part is approximately zero, this means that the electrons are intensely connected to the atom, where in the spectrum the photon energies are approximately equal to the electron bonding energy  we note the study pointed out that the imaginary part of the atomic scattering factor become  prominent and the electron becomes highly absorbent, the relative accuracy varies within range (0.03-0.22)%, and there was also a good agreement between the behavior we obtained for the imaginary part of the atomic scattering factor and the behavior that was calculated using other models. …”
