  2. Article ; Online: Conduct of body donation and cadaveric dissection training during the COVID-19 pandemic: challenges, impacts and mitigation.

    Abstract The new coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a substantial impact on the Silent Mentor Programme (SMP), a programme in which members of the public may pledge their bodies to be used for medical training and research after their death. This study aimed to explore the conduct of body donations and simulation surgery training during the COVID-19 pandemic from the viewpoints of the committee members of the SMP and the next-of-kin of body donor pledgers. This study utilised a qualitative exploration method to seek an in-depth understanding of this phenomenon. In-depth individual interviews were carried out. Thematic analysis was used to identify patterns of themes. The COVID-19 polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is compulsory before accepting a body donation, and this resulted in the turning down of several donations. Being a donor is the final wish of pledgers and this turning down led to a negative emotional remorseful feeling in the next-of-kin of pledgers. From the perspective of students, it is feared that the conduct of the programme, particularly the home visit session being held online, has impeded teaching of humanistic values, compassion, and empathy, which is the prime philosophy of the programme. Previous to the pandemic, the programme ceremonies were well-attended, denoting the utmost respect and recognition of the mentors; however, travel restrictions due to the pandemic limiting in-person attendance resulted in ceremonies becoming less impactful. Continuous postponements of cadaveric dissection training also resulted in students missing training opportunities, hence potentially impairing their professional practice and humanistic values in the medical profession. Counselling interventions should be directed at easing the negative psychological impact on the next-of-kin of pledgers. As the COVID-19 pandemic may pose a significant impediment to achieving the educational outcomes of cadaveric dissection training, efforts to make up for these gaps are essential.

    Abstract The paediatric orthopaedic expert system analyses and predicts the healing time of limb fractures in children using machine learning. As far we know, no published research on the paediatric orthopaedic expert system that predicts paediatric fracture healing time using machine learning has been published. The University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) offers paediatric orthopaedic data, comprises children under the age of 12 radiographs limb fractures with ages recorded from the date and time of initial trauma. SVR algorithms are used to predict and discover variables associated with fracture healing time. This study developed an expert system capable of predicting healing time, which can assist general practitioners and healthcare practitioners during treatment and follow-up. The system is available online at https://kidsfractureexpert.com/.

    Abstract We report the case of an eleven-year-old girl with untreated bilateral clubfoot. She had a total of nine long leg castings changed weekly, Achilles tendon Z-lengthening and posterior ankle release followed by another six weeks of long leg cast immobilization post-operatively. We encouraged using night-time foot abduction brace for twelve months. Independent walking was achieved six months post-treatment. No recurrence was noted at eighteen months following treatment. The modified Ponseti weekly casting method was successful up to adolescent age; however, more cast changes, longer stretching before each cast application and posterior ankle release will be needed to achieve functional correction.

    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has put a hold on the Silent Mentor Programme (SMP); this pause has not only caused unprecedented challenges for the delivery of medical education but has forced changes in the programme ceremony sessions. We aimed to describe the psychological impact and experiences of family members of silent mentors during the COVID-19 pandemic using qualitative interviews. Many expressed feelings of remorse and unrest about the unprecedented delay of the SMP. The delay increased negative emotions particularly among some elderly family members; however, there was no prominent negative effect on their functional health and well-being. Several participants relayed the belief that the soul cannot rest until the body receives a proper burial while some worried about the deterioration of the physical condition of the mentors. In conclusion, findings provide insights into the importance of not overlooking the mental health implications of delaying the SMP in future outbreaks or crises.

    Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine whether any change in degree of medial tibia plateau depression after extra-articular mechanical realignment surgery was observed in children with Blount's disease who presented late for treatment in their adolescent and young adulthood.
    Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the radiographic parameters of 22 patients (32 lower limbs) with Blount's disease who underwent gradual correction of deformity surgery using ring external fixator without surgical elevation of the depressed medial tibial plateau at a mean age of 15 (10-37) years. Preoperative and postoperative angles of depressed medial tibia plateau (ADMTP) of the same patient were compared for any significant change. Normally distributed data were analysed using Student's t-test when comparing two groups or one-way ANOVA when comparing more than two groups. Skewed data were analysed using Mann-Whitney test.
    Results: After extra-articular mechanical alignment surgery, statistically significant improvements in medial tibial plateau depression were seen in the Infantile (p = 0.03) and Juvenile (p = 0.04) Blount's subgroups. Change of ADMTP was greater in patients who were operated on at age < 17 years, before skeletal maturity (p = 0.001). The improvement was likely due to ossification of unossified cartilage at the posteromedial proximal tibia and remodelling potential of proximal tibia physis after mechanical realignment.
    Conclusion: Improvement of medial tibia plateau depression is possible after mechanical realignment without surgical hemiplateau elevation in cases of Infantile and Juvenile Blount's disease that present late for treatment, especially when the operation is performed before age 17 years old.
