comparison of graphic organizers versus online flash cards as study aids in an elective Veterinary Cardiology course
Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 2021Co-Authors: Jessica L Ward, Courtney A VengrinAbstract:The ideal study aid format for Veterinary students remains unknown. Both graphic organizers (GOs) and flash cards (FCs) have shown utility for enhancing learning in specific contexts. A mixed-metho...

comparison of instructor provided versus student generated graphic organizers in an elective Veterinary Cardiology course
Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 2021Co-Authors: Jessica L Ward, Courtney A VengrinAbstract:Graphic organizers (GOs) are visual and spatial displays that facilitate learning by making conceptual relationships between content more apparent. It remains unknown whether GOs are more effective when completed by the teacher (instructor-provided [IP]) versus the learner (student-generated [SG]). A mixed-methods prospective randomized crossover trial was undertaken with Veterinary students (n = 60) in an elective Cardiology course. All students received identical content presented via weekly in-class lectures and were subsequently given study aids in either IP or SG format. One week later, students completed quizzes of content knowledge for each lesson and indicated amount of time spent studying. Crossover occurred such that groups of students alternated between receiving IP and SG. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in the form of in-depth pre- and post-course surveys. Overall, there was no significant difference in quiz scores based on study aid type (p = .06). Students spent an average of 25% less time studying per lesson when using IP GOs compared with SG GOs (p < .001). Time spent studying for each quiz, as well as time period between date of studying and date of quiz, decreased significantly throughout the semester. Overall, students strongly preferred IP to SG format (p < .001); reasons listed included confidence in accuracy and completeness of information, as well as increased study efficiency. In an elective Veterinary Cardiology course, use of IP compared to SG format study aids resulted in higher study efficiency and student satisfaction with equivalent short-term learning outcomes.

the effect of graphic organizers on learning outcomes study efficiency and student satisfaction in an elective Veterinary Cardiology course
Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 2019Co-Authors: Jessica L Ward, Sara B MarckettiAbstract:Graphic organizers (GOs) are visual and spatial displays, such as tables or charts, which facilitate learning by making conceptual relationships between content more apparent. We hypothesized that study aids in the form of GOs would lead to improved learning outcomes, study efficiency, and student satisfaction compared to traditional outline (OUT) format. A mixed-methods prospective randomized crossover trial was undertaken with Veterinary students (n = 31) in an elective Cardiology course. All students received identical content presented via weekly in-class lectures. Following 8 pre-designated lectures, students were given instructor-prepared study aids in either GO or OUT format. Students completed quizzes of content knowledge for each lesson and indicated amount of time spent studying. Crossover occurred such that groups of students alternated between receiving GO and OUT. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in the form of in-depth pre- and post-course surveys. Quiz scores did not differ (p = .42) based on type of study aid provided (GO vs. OUT). Students spent an average of 17% less time studying per lesson when using GO compared to OUT (p = .05). Student satisfaction with both study aid formats was high, but students preferred GO over OUT in terms of study efficiency (p = .002), visual appeal (p < .001), ease of use (p < .004), and likelihood of referencing in the future (p < .001). In an elective Veterinary Cardiology course, use of GO compared to OUT format study aids resulted in higher study efficiency and student satisfaction with equivalent short-term learning outcomes.

Détermination d'intervalles de référence chez les chiens de petit format pour des variables d'utilité en cardiologie vétérinaire
2015Co-Authors: Misbach CharlotteAbstract:La dégénérescence valvulaire mitrale (MVD) est la cardiopathie la plus fréquente chez le chien de petit format. Certaines variables écho-Doppler et sanguines sont incontournables dans son évaluation mais nécessitent d'être interprétées selon un intervalle de référence (IR) spécifique. L'objectif de ce travail a été de déterminer des IR pour 31 variables d'utilité clinique en cardiologie vétérinaire dans une population importante de chiens sains de petit format et selon les recommandations du Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. Les trois études réalisées permettent de conclure que l'élaboration d'IR spécifiques dans une sous-population canine est pertinente pour certaines variables. De plus, l'effet de certains facteurs comme le poids, l'âge et le sexe doivent être pris en compte si un intérêt clinique est identifié.Degenerative mitral valve disease is the most common heart disease in small size dogs. Several echocardiographic, Doppler and blood variables are crucial in the assessment of the disease but need to be interpreted in the light of a specific reference interval (RI). The aim of this work was to determine RI for 31 variables of clinical interest in Veterinary Cardiology within a large population of healthy small size dogs by using the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute recommendations. The three studies performed here allowed to conclude that determination of specific RI in this canine sub-population is relevant. Moreover, the effect of covariates such as body-weight, age and gender should be taken into account only if a clinical interest is identified

Minimally invasive trans-catheter procedures in Veterinary Cardiology: applications and treatment for main congenital abnormalities in dogs
Università di Parma. Dipartimento di scienze medico-veterinarie., 2019Co-Authors: Baccolo FrancescaAbstract:Il cateterismo cardiaco è una procedura che prevede l'inserimento di cateteri attraverso arterie o vene periferiche fino al cuore. Questa procedura mini-invasiva ha scopi diagnostici e terapeutici; è relativamente nuova in medicina veterinaria e si è evoluta rapidamente negli ultimi trent’anni. Questa tesi discute la storia del cateterismo cardiaco, le indicazioni e le controindicazioni, le attrezzature necessarie, le diverse procedure e le possibili complicanze. Vengono trattate le principali applicazioni della cateterizzazione cardiaca: la misurazione delle pressioni intracardiache, valutazione della gittata cardiaca, studi angiografici per diagnosticare difetti cardiovascolari congeniti, studi elettrofisiologici e trattamento dei difetti cardiaci congeniti. In particolare, le tecniche interventistiche mininvasive descritte finora nella letteratura veterinaria sono la chiusura del dotto arterioso pervio con dispositivi Coils o ACDO, la dilatazione con pallone della stenosi polmonare e subaortica, la chiusura di difetti del setto interatriale e interventricolare e la correzione del cor triatriatum dexter. Tuttavia, sebbene la procedura mininvasiva rappresenti il “gold standard” per il trattamento di alcune forme di cardiopatie congenite, sono necessari ulteriori studi per determinare quali siano i pazienti idonei all'intervento, quale sia la tecnica prediletta per ciascun paziente e i risultati attesi.Cardiac catheterization is a procedure that involves the insertion of catheters through the periferic arteries or veins to the heart. This minimally invasive procedure has diagnostic and therapeutic purpose; it is relatively new in Veterinary medicine and has rapidly evolved over the past thirty years. This thesis discusses the history of cardiac catheterization, the indications and contraindications, the needed equipment, the different procedures, and the possible complications. The main applications of cardiac catheterization are processed: the evaluation of intracardiac pressures, the evaluation of cardiac output, angiographic studies to diagnose congenital cardiovascular defects, electrophysiological studies and treatment of congenital heart defects. In particular, the minimally invasive interventional techniques described so far in Veterinary literature are the closure of the patent ductus arteriosus with Coils or ACDO devices, the balloon dilation of the pulmonary and subaortic stenosis, the closure of interatrial and interventricular septal defects and correction of the cor triatriatum dexter. However, even if mininvasive procedure represent the "gold standard" for the treatment of certain forms of congenital heart disease, further studies are needed to determine which are the patients suitable for intervention, which is the preferred technique for each patient and the expected results
