Analisi retrospettiva degli errori di posizione dei pazienti e l'impatto della dose nella colonscopia virtuale mediante TCMS: esperienza di un singol…

2016

La Colonscopia virtuale (CV) tramite tomografia computerizzato multi-strato (TCMS) è una nota e valida tecnica alternativa alla colonscopia ottica per la valutazione della parete del colon e la individuazione di nuove lesioni. Lo svantaggio principale per la sua esecuzione è l’esposizione del paziente alle radiazioni ionizzanti. Questo è il motivo per cui linee guida raccomandano procedure di acquisizione a basso dosaggio standardizzate volte a ridurre al minimo le radiazioni di esposizione. Abbiamo retrospettivamente esaminato l'impatto in termini di esposizione alle radiazioni ionizzanti in base alla posizione del paziente e la durata della scansione. [1].

Chronic pain treatment through virtual reality

2017

Chronic pain is a notable issue of public healthcare, causing enormous direct and indirect costs, and a reduction of the quality of life in the affected patients. In this study, we have used Virtual Reality (VR) as a method to reduce stress, anxiety and pain in patients affected by chronic pain. We examined two cohorts of patients: an experimental group and a control group. The patients in the experimental group were administered eight VR sessions, each of those lasted thirty minutes, while the control group had a standard therapy. The results are encouraging: they demonstrate the efficacy of VR treatment and the safety of the method.

Assessment of Executive Functions in Patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by NeuroVR

2012

Executive functions are often impaired in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). We used a Virtual Reality (VR) version of the Multiple Errand Test (MET) inside a virtual supermarket, in order to evaluate the executive functions in daily life in 10 OCD patients and 10 controls. It is performed in a shopping setting where there are items to be bought and information to be obtained. The specific goal of this study was to implement a tool for the assessment of executive functions.

Training Language Mediators and Interpreters through Embodied Cognition, Immersive Learning and Virtual Reality: Didactic, Organizational and Cost Be…

2022

The use of Virtual Reality (VR) for training purposes has expanded exponentially in the last decade. This paper specifically examines the use of VR in the training of language mediators and interpreters. By way of exemplification, the paper describes a training project at the University of Palermo, the “Coopera” project. The physically-cognitively immersive ‘learning by doing’ factor that characterizes a VR educational experience is particularly well-suited to skill- based activities. The paper explains how the immersive nature of VR and the notion of ‘embodied cognition’ is particularly suited to mediator/interpreter training by plausibly reproducing daily life situations and providing a ‘…
