Newest firstBackgroundQuantitative bias analyses often rely on unrealistic assumptions and do not fully reflect the complexities of healthcare data. MethodsWe describe a plasmode simulation-based bias analysis for residual confounding from unmeasured variables by leveraging granular information from a subset of cohort members. We generated 500 simulated cohorts based on individual-level claims and linked electronic health rec…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background There is a lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of virtual simulators as a means to acquire hands-on exposure to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The present study aimed to assess the outcome and construct validity of virtual ERCP when training on the GI II Mentor simulator. Methods A group of seven experienced endoscopists were compared with 31 novices. After a short intro…
Piezoelectric ZnO-based composites have been explored as a flexible and compact sensor for the implantable biomedical systems used in cardio surgery. In this work, a progressive development route was investigated to enhance the performance of piezoelectric composites incorporated with different shape, concentration and connectivity of ZnO fillers. ZnO microrods (MRs) have been successfully synthesized homogeneousl…
