Alencar, Jennifer Leme; Prado, Marcela Roberta; Ercolin, Anna Carolina Mazeto; Pires, Sâmara Turbay; Disselli, Tamiris; Stanquini, Camila Silveira; de Andrade, Amanda Moura Rocha; Hage, Maria Cristina Ferrarini Nunes Soares – Advances in Physiology Education, 2023
Fine needle puncture (FNP) is a widespread technique used to collect cellular samples. Its efficiency can be enhanced by the use of ultrasonography to guide the procedure. Ultrasound-guided FNP is therefore an operator-dependent exam. For this reason, it demands the acquisition of psychomotor skill, ability to recognize structures, and dexterity…

A Plumber's Guide to the Cardiovascular System
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Washburn, Shannon E.; Stewart, Randolph H. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2020
Blood flow through the cardiovascular system is governed by the same physical rules that govern the flow of water through domestic plumbing. Using this analogy in a teaching laboratory, a model of the cardiovascular system constructed of pumps and pipes was used to demonstrate the basic interactions of pressure, flow, and resistance in a regulated…

de Araújo Setin, Raíza; Fortes Cirimbelli, Carolina; Mazeto Ercolin, Anna Carolina; Pires, Sâmara Turbay; Disselli, Tamiris; Ferrarini Nunes Soares Hage, Maria Cristina – Advances in Physiology Education, 2018
The present study aimed to evaluate the applicability of artisanal simulators to teach veterinary and medical students the ultrasound-guided percutaneous biopsy using a tru-cut needle. The artisanal simulators consisted of bovine liver between two layers of commercially available grape gelatin. Students were paired, with one doing the biopsy and…

The Value of Homemade Phantoms for Training Veterinary Students in the Ultrasonographic Detection of Radiolucent Foreign Bodies
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Mariano Beraldo, Carolina; Rondon Lopes, Érika; Hage, Raduan; Hage, Maria Cristina F. N. S. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2017
Ingested or penetrating foreign bodies are common in veterinary medicine. When they are radiolucent, these objects become a diagnostic challenge, but they can be investigated sonographically. However, successful object identification depends on the skill of the sonographer. Considering that these cases appear randomly during hospital routines, it…

Value of Artisanal Simulators to Train Veterinary Students in Performing Invasive Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Hage, Maria Cristina F. N. S.; Massaferro, Ana Beatriz; Lopes, Érika Rondon; Beraldo, Carolina Mariano; Daniel, Jéssika – Advances in Physiology Education, 2016
Pericardial effusion can lead to cardiac tamponade, which endangers an animal's life. Ultrasound-guided pericardiocentesis is used to remove abnormal liquid; however, it requires technical expertise. In veterinary medical education, the opportunity to teach this procedure to save lives during emergencies is rare; therefore, simulators are…

Outcome Assessment of a Computer-Animated Model for Learning about the Regulation of Glomerular Filtration Rate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Gookin, Jody L.; McWhorter, Dan; Vaden, Shelly; Posner, Lysa – Advances in Physiology Education, 2010
The regulation of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a particularly important and challenging concept for students to integrate into a memorable framework for building further knowledge and solving clinical problems. In this study, 76 first-year veterinary students and 19 veterinarians in clinical specialty training (house officers)…
