Background

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is considered an emerging or even a probable re-emerging pathogen in southern Europe. Presence of this virus had been reported previously in Spain in 2010.

Aim

We aimed to evaluate the potential circulation of CCHFV in western Spain with a serosurvey in asymptomatic adults (blood donors).

Methods

During 2017 and 2018, we conducted a CCHFV serosurvey in randomly selected asymptomatic blood donors from western Spain. Three assays using specific IgG antibodies against CCHFV were performed: the VectoCrimea ELISA test, an in-house ELISA and indirect immunofluorescence (EuroImmun) test with glycoprotein and nucleoprotein.

Results

A total of 516 blood donors participated in this cross-sectional study. The majority of the study participants were male (68.4%), and the mean age was 46.3 years. Most of the participants came from rural areas (86.8%) and 68.6% had contact with animals and 20.9% had animal husbandry practices. One in five participants (109/516, 21.1%) were engaged in at-risk professional activities such as agriculture and shepherding, slaughtering, hunting, veterinary and healthcare work (mainly nursing staff and laboratory technicians). A total of 15.3% of the participants were bitten by ticks in the days or months before the date of sampling. We detected anti-CCHFV IgG antibodies with two diagnostic assays in three of the 516 individuals and with one diagnostic assay in six of the 516 individuals.

Conclusion

Seroprevalence of CCHFV was between 0.58% and 1.16% in Castile-León, Spain. This is the first study in western Spain that showed circulation of CCHFV in healthy people.

Background

Influenza A(H1N1)pdm09, A(H3N2) and B viruses were co-circulating in Europe between September 2019 and January 2020.

Aim

To provide interim 2019/20 influenza vaccine effectiveness (VE) estimates from six European studies, covering 10 countries and both primary care and hospital settings.

Methods

All studies used the test-negative design, although there were some differences in other study characteristics, e.g. patient selection, data sources, case definitions and included age groups. Overall and influenza (sub)type-specific VE was estimated for each study using logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders.

Results

There were 31,537 patients recruited across the six studies, of which 5,300 (17%) were cases with 5,310 infections. Most of these (4,466; 84%) were influenza A. The VE point estimates for all ages were 29% to 61% against any influenza in the primary care setting and 35% to 60% in hospitalised older adults (aged 65 years and over). The VE point estimates against A(H1N1)pdm09 (all ages, both settings) was 48% to 75%, and against A(H3N2) ranged from −58% to 57% (primary care) and −16% to 60% (hospital). Against influenza B, VE for all ages was 62% to 83% (primary care only).

Conclusions

Influenza vaccination is of continued benefit during the ongoing 2019/20 influenza season. Robust end-of-season VE estimates and genetic virus characterisation results may help understand the variability in influenza (sub)type-specific results across studies.

Waste is a source of problems, if not managed properly it will cause environmental pollution, especially in residential settlements that live around landfills in Puuwatu District. The purpose of this community service activity is to reduce the pile of waste in the Puuwatu sub-district landfill through the application of the principle of zero waste, namely by processing organic solid waste into compost, leachate into a decomposer microorganism solution, and recycling inorganic waste for verticulture media. Activities undertaken to achieve the objectives of the Community Partnership Program (PKM) are through mass and group counseling to partners, training and plot demonstrations. Through these activities, partners who live around the landfill had been able to process organic solid waste, with the hope that the volume at the landfill will decrease, and the partner's income will increase. Partners who were actively involved in the activity had been able to produce compost (labeled Komsa-Mitra) that was ready to be commercialized, and are also able to process leachate as a source of decomposer microorganisms (labeled mollin) in the composting process. Partners around the Puuwatu landfill were also able to utilize waste plastic and rubber containers into a vegetable cultivation container with a verticulture system in the yard and the hervested vegetable was used to meet the family's nutritional needs.

Neoliberalismo y convergencia contable. Orígenes, características y propuestas
Authors: Rueda Delgado Gabriel
Published: March 2020

Los recientes procesos de convergencia contable que la Ley 1314 de 2009 impulsa de manera definitiva, deben ser comprendidos en el marco de la denominada Nueva Arquitectura Financiera Internacional y, en particular, como consecuentes con el modelo de desarrollo económico neoliberal implementado en Colombia hace ya varias décadas. El trabajo cuestiona que éste sea el único y más importante papel de la contabilidad para favorecer el desarrollo económico y la internacionalización de la economía colombianas, si en ella no se tienen en cuenta otro tipo de mensajes para la equidad y la inclusión social, propósito que supera los alcances de la regulación mundial en contabilidad. Para soportar dicho cuestionamiento e iniciar propuestas para la construcción de un nuevo rol de la contabilidad, no sólo al servicio del mercado sino de la sociedad en general, es imprescindible generar acuerdo conceptual, histórico y teórico acerca del neoliberalismo y relacionarlo con los procesos de regu- lación contable que se adelantan hoy en Colombia y a nivel mundial.

Biocontabilidad: Hacia una definición de una nueva disciplina contable
Authors: Mejía Soto Eutimio
Published: March 2020

La biocontabilidad se plantea como una nueva disciplina que pertenece a la ciencia contable, constituyendo así, un modelo que en conjunto con la sociocontabilidad y la contabilidad económica, configuran la Teoría tridimensional de la contabilidad T3C. La definición de biocontabilidad sugerida, principal objetivo de la investigación, se infiere de la definición general de contabilidad propuesta por la T3C y, metodológicamente, se soporta en los ítems básicos que debe tener toda acepción de un campo científico, que son la ubicación en el campo del conocimiento, la formulación del objeto material y formal, la determinación del método, la naturaleza, el carácter y, así mismo, establecer el fin y la función del saber estudiado. La biocontabilidad se ubica como una disciplina, que tiene como objeto de estudio la riqueza natural, en función de evaluar la organización en la gestión de la riqueza ambiental y cuyo fin, es la contribución a la acumulación, generación, distribución y sostenibilidad integral de la mencionada riqueza.

The increasing number of cases of child trafficking shows that the level of crime or crime, especially in cases of trafficking in children, has an unstable number and cannot be suppressed at all in the past 6 (six years) 2005-2010). This has an impact on victims of trafficking, especially in children who experience prolonged stress, health problems, and infectious diseases caused by these children in per trade. Efforts to increase protection for victims of trafficking, especially in children, can conducted through supervision and control of the ways parents and families take care of their children through guidance and direction of religious lectures where parents and families have a big stake in protecting their own children.
Personalized Psychiatry and Depression: The Role of Sociodemographic and Clinical Variables
Authors: Perna Giampaolo , Alciati Alessandra , Daccò Silvia , Grassi Massimiliano , Caldirola Daniela
Published: March 2020

Despite several pharmacological options, the clinical outcomes of major depressive disorder (MDD) are often unsatisfactory. Personalized psychiatry attempts to tailor therapeutic interventions according to each patient’s unique profile and characteristics. This approach can be a crucial strategy in improving pharmacological outcomes in MDD and overcoming trial-and-error treatment choices. In this narrative review, we evaluate whether sociodemographic (i.e., gender, age, race/ethnicity, and socioeconomic status) and clinical [i.e., body mass index (BMI), severity of depressive symptoms, and symptom profiles] variables that are easily assessable in clinical practice may help clinicians to optimize the selection of antidepressant treatment for each patient with MDD at the early stages of the disorder. We found that several variables were associated with poorer outcomes for all antidepressants. However, only preliminary associations were found between some clinical variables (i.e., BMI, anhedonia, and MDD with melancholic/atypical features) and possible benefits with some specific antidepressants. Finally, in clinical practice, the assessment of sociodemographic and clinical variables considered in our review can be valuable for early identification of depressed individuals at high risk for poor responses to antidepressants, but there are not enough data on which to ground any reliable selection of specific antidepressant class or compounds. Recent advances in computational resources, such as machine learning techniques, which are able to integrate multiple potential predictors, such as individual/ clinical variables, biomarkers, and genetic factors, may offer future reliable tools to guide personalized antidepressant choice for each patient with MDD.

Published: March 2020

Se estudio la absición natural de frutos de ciruela mexicana ‘Cuernavaqueña’ en Morelos, México. En once arboles se marcaron ramas en cada punto cardinal y se contabilizo el número de frutos después del cuajado (marzo) y se dio seguimiento hasta la cosecha (septiembre) del porcentaje de frutos que permanecieron hasta esa fase. Adicionalmente la precipitación, temperatura promedio, mínima y máxima y la humedad relativa fue registrada y se realizaron correlaciones simples con el porcentaje de frutos en absición. La absición de frutos se presento de junio a septiembre, alcanzándose entre 20 y 60 % de absición. Los frutos de la posición este mantuvieron cerca del 80 % de los frutos a la cosecha. El porcentaje de frutos en las ramas se asoció negativamente con la precipitación (entre r= -0.72* y -0.88**) y la humedad relativa (r= -0.76 y -0.97***) y positivamente con la temperatura promedio máxima (r= 0.74** y 0.83**). La mayor caída de frutos no coincidió con ninguna etapa donde se demuestre competencia, lo que sugiere que la absición de frutos se atribuye a competencia entre los mismos frutos en desarrollo.

Multiparty, relation with patology of pregnancy and delivery
Authors: Andrejevic L. , Andrejevic A. , Nestorovic V. , Milosevic B. , Andrejevic S. , Nestorovic S.
Published: March 2020

Introduction: Multiparty is a long-standing problem for gynecologists around the world, since in places where multiparity is expressed, researchers are not able to fully examine it, most often because of socio-economic reasons. Objective: The aim of this research was to examine the influence of multiparty (delivery of six or more children ) on pathology of pregnancy and delivery. Materials and Methods: The study included women that were delivered at the Gynecological Clinic of Faculty of Medicine in Pristina during 1992 and 1993, a total of 12, 532. The analysis included impact of multiparity on pathology of pregnancy and delivery. Results: The analysis of the age of patients indicates that the highest number of patients was aged between 18 and 25 years. As an atypical phenomenon, the authors also presented a pelvic presentation, although it cannot be considered a pathological condition, but is listed here because it can give an increased number of birth complications. The percentage of cesarean section in multiparas is growing but not evenly. Multiparity certainly increases its incidence. The abruption of normally inserted placenta is more frequent in multiparas. Placenta previa is also more common in multiparas. Situs transversus indicates an increased number of internal turnings as well as cesarean section. Edema, proteinuria, hypertension (EPH) gestosis at multiparas regularly determines the end of pregnancy with cesarean section. Episiotomy is rare in multiparas. Rh incompatibility is not more frequent at multiparas. Multiparity is also correlated with pathological conditions associated with umbilical cord swelling. Multiparas experience more common bleeding during the third and fourth trimesters. Rupture of amnion is more common in multiparas. Hysterectomy after delivery is significantly dependent on parity. Conclusion: The limit for multiparty was set to delivery of six or more children. Multiparity certainly has an adverse effect on pregnancy. The pathology of pregnancy as well as complications during delivery were increased. Multiparity ultimately poses danger to the pregnant woman.

Authors: Liu M. , Liu J. , Chen J.
Published: March 2020

Leiomyomas is one of the common diseases in women of child-bearing ages, which are usually originate from the uterus. The incidence of broad ligament hysteromyoma is < 1%, and the giant broad ligament hysteromyoma is rare in clinic. The diagnosis is often confused with ovarian tumors and retroperitoneal tumors due to the degeneration. The patient had a special history of rectal cancer, which made it more difficult to diagnosis. Surgery was considerable difficult due to the large size. The authors also found the external iliac vein formed vascular diverticulum due to compression, which is uncommon to see in the clinic.
Does previous cesarean section per se, especially its number, increase the risk of allogeneic blood transfusion at cesarean section for placenta previa?
Authors: Takahashi H. , Baba Y. , Ogoyama M. , Suzuki H. , Ohkuchi A. , Usui R. , Matsubara S
Published: March 2020

Objective: At cesarean section (CS) for placenta previa (PP), previous CS, especially multiple CS, is reported to be associated with massive bleeding. The authors attempted to determine which causes massive bleeding, previous CS per se or previous-CS-associated factors. The need for allogeneic blood transfusion (BT) at CS was set as a marker representing massive bleeding. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study involved all 326 patients with PP who delivered in one institute using the same management protocol. The authors evaluated the associations between the number of previous CS, maternal characteristics, and perinatal outcomes, and calculated the odds ratio (OR) for allogeneic BT according to the number of previous CS. Results: With an increasing number of previous CS, the following significantly increased: abnormally invasive placenta, anterior placentation, total previa, and ultrasound-detectable lacunae. The rates of allogeneic BT for patients with previous CS of 0×, 1×, and >2× were 6% (16/273), 37% (14/38), and 60% (9/15), respectively (p < 0.001). On adjustment for anterior placentation, total previa, and lacunae, ORs (95% confidence interval) of allogeneic BT for previous CS 1× and >2× were 6.3 (2.5-16.4) and 11.4 (3.0-42.2), respectively, with CS 0× being referent. On analysis of 308 (326-18) patients excluding 18 with an abnormally invasive placenta, the adjusted ORs of allogeneic BT for CS 1× and >2× were 3.5 (1.1-10.8) and 6.2 (1.1-37.3), respectively, remaining high. Conclusion: The number of prior CS, and, thus the previous CS per se, increases the requirement for allogeneic BT, irrespective of the presence/absence of an AIP, anterior placentation, total previa, or lacunae. Management protocol of PP women with multiple CS should be adapted accordingly.

Published: March 2020

Purpose: Osteoporosis is a major health concern in postmenopausal women. The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Hericium erinaceus (H. erinaceus), also known as the Lion’s Mane mushroom, consumption on bone metabolism in ovariectomized (Ovx) rats. Materials and Methods: Rats in the Baseline group were sacrificed immediately, whereas rats in the Sham group underwent sham surgery, and those in the Ovx and Ovx + HE groups underwent bilateral Ovx. A diet containing the methanol extract of H. erinaceus was given to the Ovx+HE group for 13 weeks. Results: There was no significant difference in the femoral bone mass between the Ovx and Ovx+HE groups. In the histomorphometric study of the proximal tibial metaphysis, the osteoblast surface, mineralizing surface, and fat cell number were lower in the Ovx+HE group than those in the Ovx group. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that H. erinaceus does not prevent but rather accelerates bone loss in Ovx rats.

Published: March 2020

Objective: To investigate whether patients diagnosed with adnexal torsion report a family history of adnexal torsion in a first degree relative. Materials and Methods: All women with a surgical diagnosis of adnexal torsion operated from 2008 to 2016 were contacted for participation in the study. The study was conducted by a telephone questionnaire. In addition, the medical records were retrospectively reviewed and information on demographic characteristics, surgical findings at time of torsion, and history of recurrent torsion events were collected. Results: Two hundred thirty women with a surgical diagnosis of adnexal torsion were identified. Of these, 147 women were reached and agreed to participate in the study. A history of adnexal torsion in a first degree relative was reported by seven (4.8%) patients: three cases involved an adnexal torsion event in a sister, and four cases involved an adnexal torsion event in a mother or daughter. Patients with a positive family history of adnexal torsion were more likely to experience torsion of otherwise normal adnexa without adnexal cysts compared to those with a negative family history (71.4% vs. 27.1%, p = 0.01) and to report recurrent torsion events (57.1% vs. 17.1%, p = 0.009). Conclusion: A family history of adnexal torsion in a first degree relative is found in a minority of cases and is significantly associated with torsion of otherwise normal adnexa and with recurrent torsion events. Thus, patients with a family history of torsion may be considered a high-risk subgroup of patients.

Objective: To evaluate gynaecological features of a group of transfusion dependent beta-thalassemic women and to analyze their reproductive function with the morpho-functional features of genital female tract. Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study in a University Hospital and Tertiary Care Center. Fifty-nine transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemic women in reproductive age, were divided into two groups: to group A were assigned women with spontaneous menarche (n=44), while to group B were allocated patients with inducted menarche. Data on demographic characteristics, iron overload in liver and heart (evaluated with T2* RMN method), chelation therapy, and reproductive function were collected. Difference in demographic characteristics, chelation therapy, iron status, and reproductive function between groups were assessed, together with correlation analysis of iron overload. Results: Patients in group B had a worse reproductive function and a higher myocardial iron overload, than patients in group A. Moreover multivariate logistic regression showed a significant correlation between uterine biometry, FSH, E2, parity and hearth iron T2*HSIV, but not with liver iron. Conclusion: The present data shows that myocardial iron loading could be putative of prolonged and severe iron overload in the female genital tract, impairing fertility and reproductive function in patients affected with beta-thalassemia major under chelation therapy.
Spontaneous umbilical cord vascular rupture before labor for congenital defects with a live birth: a case report
Authors: Huang J. , Zhang Z.
Published: March 2020

Spontaneous intrauterine umbilical cord vascular rupture is an uncommon, unpreventable, and dangerous event. Once it occurs, there is little chance to intervene, and often with a poor perinatal outcome. A 32-year-old primiparous woman at 40 weeks of gestation with a normal pregnancy presented to the emergency room because of vaginal fluid. During induction of labor with oxytocin, the fetal heart rate declined. An emergency cesarean delivery was carried out. Breach of branch of umbilical vein was noted. The neonate underwent urgent treatment, and was discharged on day 10 without apparent sequelae. It is a rare case of a spontaneous umbilical cord vascular rupture with a viable birth because of congenital defects of umbilical cord. When an unexpected drop in the fetal heart is observed, umbilical cord vascular rupture must be suspected, and emergency correct intervention can lead to a live birth.
Bilateral ascending uterine arteries ligation for conservative management of complete placenta previa: three case reports
Authors: Relakis K. , Pontikaki A. , Kosmas I. , Sifakis S.
Published: March 2020

Placenta previa (PP) is considered one of the major causes of both antepartum and intrapartum bleeding, which necessitates preterm delivery typically by cesarean section. The optimal management is controversial. Surgical techniques to control severe bleeding after placental removal include uterine/internal iliac artery ligation, compression sutures, and embolization of pelvic vessels; however, cesarean hysterectomy remains the ultimate rescue procedure for uncontrolled maternal hemorrhage. The authors present a modified surgical technique of the uterine arteries ligation for successful management of complete PP. The method was effective and hysterectomy was avoided in all cases. Serious complications such as hypovolemic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulopathy, urinary tract injuries, febrile infections, and uterine necrosis were not recorded. Double bilateral ligation of the ascending uterine arteries before placental removal constitutes a prophylactic method that prevents postpartum hemorrhage and emergency obstetric hysterectomy. This method has an additional advantage as if it proves ineffective for hemorrhage control, the basic steps for cesarean hysterectomy would have been done.

In the era of information -based society information is one of the very important economic resources. the ability to access and profide information quickly and accurately becomes very essential for organization, whether in the form of commercial organizations or non profit organizations. the value ao an information leads to the desired information is often can only be accessed by certain people. therefore, security issue is an important aspect within information system. the develoment of information technology especially in data communications generate information system more vlnerable to various types of threats that can damage the system or data.threats can come from the hacker attack sand malicious program smade up of trap doors, logic bombs, trojan horses and viruses. therefore, information management that to provide security system that can be used in encriyption, which is aprocess to secure a message(called plain text) into a hiden mesagge (called cipher text). Ciphertext is a message that is not readabl. Encryptionis used to encrypt the data or information that cannot be read by unauthorized people. by encrypting, the data is encoded using a key. to open (decrypt) the data, a key is needed which can be the same as the key to encrypt ( for the case of private key Cryptography based information system security) or with a different key (for the case of public key cryptography). Implementation of data Encryptionis expected to provide data and system security that covers confidentiality integrity and availability.
Credibility of Preprints: An interdisciplinary Survey of Researchers
Authors: Soderberg Courtney K. , Errington Timothy M. , Nosek Brian A.
Published: March 2020

Preprints increase accessibility and can speed scholarly communication if researchers view them as credible enough to read and use. Preprint services, though, do not provide the heuristic cues of a journal’s reputation, selection, and peer review processes that are often used as a guide for deciding what to read. We conducted a survey of 3,759 researchers across a wide range of disciplines to determine the importance of different cues for assessing the credibility of individual preprints and preprint services. We found that cues related to information about open science content and independent verification of author claims were rated as highly important for judging preprint credibility. As of early 2020, very few preprint services display any of these cues. By adding such cues, services may be able to help researchers better assess the credibility of preprints, enabling scholars to more confidently use preprints, thereby accelerating scientific communication and discovery.

Published: March 2020

This study deals with exploring the use of textual function in corruption courtroom discourse realized by Theme-Rheme structure in a clause uttered by judge, prosecutors, witness, and defender. Qualitative method was employed as the research design. The data were in the form of clauses gained from corruption courtroom discourse in Medan district court, Indonesia. The findings reveal that marked and unmarked themes were realized in the data. It is concluded that the sensitivity in choosing the markedness of theme is significant to be noted by judge, prosecutors, and others involved in the courtroom discourse since the creativity in conveying the utterances could be used to hide and blur the meaning.
Differences in cortical processing of facial emotions in broader autism phenotype

Published: March 2020

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous condition that affects face perception. Evidence shows that there are differences in face perception associated with the processing of low spatial frequency (LSF) and high spatial frequency (HSF) of visual stimuli between non-symptomatic relatives of individuals with autism (broader autism phenotype -BAP-) and typically developing subjects. However, the neural mechanisms involved in these differences are not fully understood. Here we tested if face-sensitive event related potentials could serve as neuronal markers of differential spatial frequency processing, and if these potentials could differentiate non-symptomatic parents of children with autism (pASD) from parents of typically developing children (pTD). For this end, we performed electroencephalographic recordings in both groups of parents, while they had to recognize emotions of face pictures composed by the same or different emotions (happiness or anger) presented in different spatial frequencies. We found no significant differences in the accuracy between groups but lower amplitude modulation in the Late Positive Potential activity in pASD. Source analysis showed a difference in the right posterior part of the superior temporal region that correlated with ASD symptomatology of the child. These results reveal differences in brain processing of facial emotion in BAP that could be a precursor of ASD.
THE EVOLUTION OF AIRBNB REGULATION - An International Longitudinal Investigation 2008-2020
Authors: von Briel Dorine , Dolnicar Sara
Published: March 2020

Peer-to-peer accommodation has been extensively studied over the past decade. The area that has most fascinated researchers – and most challenged policy-makers – is how to regulate peer-to-peer accommodation to avoid negative side effects, without restricting economic benefits (Dolnicar, 2019). Regulations are typically reported as individual case studies at one point in time (Hajibaba & Dolnicar, 2017), yet they continuously evolve, sometimes radically, as in the case of Tasmania (Grimmer et al., 2019). This is the first longitudinal investigation of Airbnb regulations. It develops a typology of destinations based on their regulatory reaction to Airbnb, and identifies key regulatory aims, and specific measures for policy makers to achieve those aims. Our study focuses on popular tourist destinations affected by the normalisation of peer-to-peer accommodation: San Francisco, New York, Amsterdam, London, Berlin, Paris, Barcelona, Reykjavik, Vienna, Tokyo and Hobart. These destinations experienced reduced quality of life for residents (Sheppard & Udell, 2016), reduced housing availability (Ferreri & Sanyal, 2018) and affordability (Zale, 2018), a change in the character of neighbourhoods (Zale, 2018), additional competition for hospitality businesses (Davidson & Infranca, 2018), and potential safety risks for guests (Guttentag, 2015). Residents, commercial accommodation providers and local governments reacted by lobbying against Airbnb. Anyone benefitting from Airbnb (hosts, entrepreneurs and councils earning revenue) supported Airbnb's global lobbying campaign. This tension led destinations to introduce formal regulations.Based on academic publications, media reports and policy documents, we create a chronological summary of regulatory responses and identify generalisable patterns. Four types of responses emerge: regulation and taxation, introduction of a registration system, refinement and modification of regulations, and collaborative initiatives of governments and platform facilitators. We use these responses to track the evolution of Airbnb regulation.
Effect of a Spay Simulator on Student Competence and Anxiety

Published: March 2020

Spay simulation has gained attention at colleges of veterinary medicine that seek to utilize low-cost models in lieu of more cost-prohibitive high-fidelity devices or cadaveric specimens. A spay simulator was developed to provide veterinary students at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine a reusable, inexpensive, and error-enabled device for self-practice in anticipation of a live canine ovariohysterectomy. Seventy-four students were recruited, half of whom participated in spay simulation training. A survey was designed to capture students’ state and trait anxiety, as well as their self-assessed perceived levels of competence, confidence, and knowledge of anatomy, before and after their live animal surgery. During the live surgical laboratories, surgical competencies were assessed using the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) for operative performance. We hypothesized that the spay simulation training group would have higher reported levels of competence, confidence, and knowledge of anatomy. Additionally, students enrolled in spay simulation training were expected to exhibit a lower level of post-operative anxiety and higher OSATS scores compared with the control group. Results demonstrated a significant increase in perceived anatomical knowledge and improvement in perceived competence level following spay simulation training as compared with the control group. Areas of no difference included perceived confidence, OSATS scores, and overall level of anxiety. The results of this study demonstrate that this low-fidelity spay simulator has a unique place in student surgical training, producing novice surgeons with increased perceived competence and knowledge of anatomy following spay simulation training and live animal surgery.
