ABSTRACT
@#With the arrival of the era of big data, increasing attention has been drawn to the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the medical field. AI has many advantages, such as objectivity, accuracy, minimal invasiveness, time savings and high efficiency. Therefore, the combination of AI with dental diagnosis and treatment can help dentists improve work efficiency and save medical resources, offering potential significant benefits for dental application. At present, AI has been gradually integrated into prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, endodontics and periodontics. The AI system can realize automatic tooth preparation, automatic tooth arrangement and implantology. Deep learning can be used to assist in diagnosing maxillary sinus inflammation, predicting the complications of tooth extraction and improving the accuracy of osteotomy. The AI system can also provide significant clues for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of oral and maxillofacial tumors. The breakthrough brought by AI in cephalometric and the assessment of facial attractiveness of patients has promoted the development of intelligent and personalized orthodontic treatment. Deep learning and analysis of medical images also promote the accuracy of root canal therapy as well as the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. AI technology has realized the leap from digitalization to automation and intelligence in oral diagnosis and treatment, and its application potential in the oral field should not be underestimated. Based on the concepts of AI, this paper will focus on the application of artificial intelligence in various oral clinical fields and briefly introduce its advantages, problems and future.
ABSTRACT
Background: Breast milk is an ideal feed for infants, and it is effective in ensuring child health and survival. The study was done to assess the perception regarding breastfeeding among medical students of basic and clinical sciences and to compare knowledge regarding feeding among basic sciences with clinical sciences students.Methods: This cross-sectional survey was done at Al-Tibri Medical College and Hospital over a period of 6 months from February 2019 till July 2109. A self-generated Questionnaire was used to assess the perception of 367 medical students regarding breast feeding from basic and clinical sciences of medical students. Result was statistically analyzed using SPSS version 22. Chi-square test was used to compare qualitative data, p-value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: A total of 367 students participated in the study with 159(43.3%) from basic medical sciences and 208(56.7%) from clinical sciences. Out of respondents, 54.5% were females. Internet was the main source of knowledge (47.3%) as shown in the graph, 74.1% were native. Generally, the majority of students from clinical group had a better perception regarding breastfeeding initiation and continuation along with infant and maternal benefit. Clinical science group had an edge on the basic science group with reference to their perception of breastfeeding in special circumstances.Conclusions: Medical universities are the main platform for future physicians, so knowledge regarding breast feeding promotion and practices should be given from this stage.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze the extension mode and existing problems of clinical science and technology achievements in order to promote the popularization of clinical scientific and technological achievements in practice.Methods Conducting literature review to better understand the basic concepts and promotion patterns of clinical medical science and technology achievements,identifying problems and discussing possible solutions by taking into account of the practical work.Results The clinical science and technology achievements usually include suitable technology,industry standard,diagnosis and treatment standard or guide,policy document,science popularization knowledge and so on.In the way of popularization,we can communicate through academic exchange,training courses,digital multimedia network and so on.However,in practice,due to the insufficient awareness of promotion,management mechanism,funds and so on,the promotion is negatively affected,which is worth the attention of the administrators.Conclusions It is expected that through the discussion of the concept of clinical science and technology achievements and the mode of popularization,it is possible to arouse the thinking of the managers and promote the transformation of clinical medical scientific and technological achievements.
ABSTRACT
Durante los estudios de la Carrera de Medicina el estudiante está construyendo su propio conocimiento a través de los elementos científico-técnicos y artísticos. Esta es una ciencia donde se distinguen, desde el punto de vista didáctico, dos áreas de sistema de conocimientos: Ciencias Preclínicas y Ciencias Clínicas, que no son más que momentos diferentes, pero interrelacionados en el abordaje del proceso salud-enfermedad. Luego de transcurrir los primeros cinco años del pregrado en Cuba, el estudiante se convierte en un agente pre-profesional al iniciarse en el internado de un año de duración en la Atención Primaria y Secundaria como escenarios docente-asistenciales, siempre bajo la supervisión de un tutor. Es pues, en el sexto año o internado donde se consolidan los conocimientos, habilidades y valores en un estudiante con modelación cualitativamente superior, para lograr los modos de actuación del egresado a través de la práctica pre-profesional que se realiza en dicha etapa previa al examen de graduación. Así pues, el encargo social al que responde la universidad del siglo XXI plantea la necesidad de egresar un profesional cada vez más comprometido con la salud pública, y es muy importante tener en cuenta una adecuada, precoz y fructífera motivación por la carrera para prestar un servicio sanitario óptimo (AU).
Scientific, technical and artistic elements are very important during medical studies because through them, the student is building his/her own knowledge. From the didactical point of view, this is a science composed by two areas of the knowledge system: Preclinical and Clinical sciences, meaning no more than different moments, but both interrelated, in approaching the health-disease process. After attending the first five years of the pre-grade in Cuba, the student becomes a pre-professional agent at the beginning of the year-long internship in the Primary and Secondary health care as teaching-health care surrounding, always under the supervision of a tutor. Therefore, it is the sixth year or internship when the student consolidates knowledge, skills and values with qualitatively higher models, to achieve the graduate´s behavioral patterns through the pre-professional practice performed in this stage before the graduation exam. Thus, the social duty of the xxi-century University states the necessity of graduating a professional more and more engaged with public health, and it is very important to take into account an adequate, precocious and fruitful professional motivation to render an optimal medical service (AU).

Objective To evaluate the level situation of clinical doctors graduating from mil-itary medical university within a certain period, understand their career development, and explore and analyze the problems and deficiencies in doctoral education and training to provide reference for deep-ening the reform of clinical disciplines doctoral education. Methods Stratified random samples of 9 Hospitals were selected and the established evaluation index system of clinical discipline quality tracking and investigation questionnaire was used to evaluate doctoral quality. Evaluation was surveyed by self rating and other rating combination. Quality evaluation system contains 4 first level indicators such as the military and political quality, clinical, teaching and research level, the development po-tential as well as 15 second-level indexes. The scores of self-assessment and other evaluation were compared by Pearson rank correlation analysis. The corresponding indicator scores of different doctorate types were compared using the test of variance and the subject research and published papers were analyzed by χ2 inspection. Results The comprehensive score of graduated doctors is excellent, with self-evaluation score (92.72±7.06) and other evaluation score (93.61±8.05). Correlation coefficient is 0.33(P=0.04); The academic doctors have done better in publishing papers(χ2=5.97, P=0.01) and undertaking subject research(χ2=6.08, P=0.00), but poorer in clinical work compared with the doctors of professional degree. The assessed groups are inadequate in publishing high level papers and in un-dertaking research projects and doctors of different degree types have different cognition of the ele-ments of improving the quality. Conclusions Cultivating the doctors' clinical ability and innovation ability are the cores of deepening the reform of clinical doctoral education. We should focus on inno-vation ability , value the cultivation of the clinical professional doctoral degree and explore various joint evaluation systems to attain the goal of enhancing the education quality of doctors.
ABSTRACT
The scope and spectrum of medical research, including that in clinical sciences has tremendously expanded. It now extends from simple clinical observations to gathering of epidemiological data to the study of molecular mechanisms of diseases to evaluation of effects of therapeutic interventions. It is more meaningful to engage in multi-disciplinary and collaborative arrangements for the better achievements in health research. Translational approach involves the direct application of results of laboratory experiments to clinical use for benefit of patients. Besides clinical and experimental research, it is equally important to strengthen operational research for efficient implementation of health programmes and policies in the hospitals as well as in the community. There are several difficulties and constraints related to ethical principles, patient’s safety, confidentiality and costs. It is critically important to adhere to ethical principles and guidelines to maintain the moral and social perspectives. It is equally important to follow the scientific research methodology for the maximum gains from research experiments and projects. Interpretation of results of clinical experiments are hardly ever unequivocal, hence, there is a need for repetitive studies, systematic reviews and meta-analyses to reach definitive conclusions. It is important for busy physicians to adopt a scientific temper of logic and engage themselves in searching for answers to different research questions. It is always gainful to spare some time and resources for research out of a busy clinical practice. It is also worthwhile to go through a formal training programme in research methodology to improve capacity and competence to conduct meaningful research.

Recent original scientific contributions published in selected Brazilian periodicals and classifiable under cardiovascular and pulmonary subject categories cover a wide range of sub specialties, both clinical and exprimental. Because they appear in journals with only recently enhanced visibility, we have decided to highlight a number of specific items appeared in four Brazilian journals, because we understand that this is an important subsidy to keep our readership adequately informed. These papers cover extensive sub-areas in both fields.
