   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; nefrologi; nephrology; Urology; Adults; antireflux surgery; pregnancy; reflux nephropathy; Urologi; urinary tract infection; vesicoureteral reflux; urography;

   Abstract : The aim was to study the long-term consequencies of vesicoureteral reflux and reflux nephropathy (RN) in adults, with regard to radiological progression, urinary tract infections, renal functional impairment, hypertension, and to determine if the extent of renal damage can predict the outcome. Attempts to differentiate between acquired and developmental renal damage were also made. READ MORE

4. 17. Construction, Validation and Application of a Virtual Reality Simulator for the Training of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate

   Author : Reidar Källström; Joar Svanvik; Hans Hjertberg; Peder Funch-Jensen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Surgical education; simulation; transurethral resection of prostate; psychometric tests; personality; validation; virtual reality; proficiency based training; objective assessment; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The fundamental of surgical training is the traditional apprenticeship method introduced by William Halsted which has been used for the last 100 years. It is based on learning in the operating room (OR) where the resident is guided by an experienced surgeon and gradually and methodically exposed to surgery. READ MORE
