The limited evidence about the possible improvement of patient health by genetic test and the complexity of test result interpretation could lead to further workup that could increase the expenditure of health care resources. Performing these tests without proper counseling support, could alter perceptions of risk and health behavior, cause psychological morbidity and have a significant impact on ... Medicine 2.0'11 (Stanford University, USA)Evaluation of a New Interactive E-learning Tool (ilkum) of the University Medical Center Mainz Background E-learning has been recognized during recent years as an essential tool to improve dental education; however, the best approach to implementing computer-assisted learning, as well as avoiding information overload are topics of ongoing discussion. Since 2009 our department has been developing a modular interactive e-learning tool (ILKUM) focussing on the medical curriculum (MC) to improve medical education. It includes small e-modules with structured descriptions of diseases and op... Drug-selling Websites: a New Scenario in Public Health?

Very little is still known about this phenomenon, due to its hidden nature when occurring outside national legislation. The aim of the study was to perform an up-to-date and comprehensive review of scientific literature focusing on the broader picture of DSWs by scanning several scientific and institutional databases, with no publication time limit... Interactive Learning Objective Catalogue of The University Medical Center Mainz (ilkum) - Improving Learning in Dental and Medical Education Background E-learning has been recognized during recent years as an essential tool to improve dental education; however, the best approach to implementing computer-assisted learning, as well as avoiding information overload are topics of ongoing discussion. Since 2009, the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has been developing an interactive e-learning tool called ILKUM to improve the coordination between education content and student learning requirements. Methods ILKUM is an i... Medicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)Acceptance of E-Learning Devices (Computers, Tablet Computer, Smartphones) in Dental and Medical Education Background: Tablet computers as well as internet-based smartphones are increasingly employed in the education of dental and medical students. Objective: This study investigates which specific devices of internet-based learning supports are preferred and, whether these techniques affect the learning behavior. Methods: The study group comprises randomly selected students (n=141) of dentistry and medicine (all students are in clinical sections, 70,5% female and 29,5% male). We were i... Mapping M-Health: a Decade of Evolution Background: In the last decade mobile health is constantly expanding as part of e-Health. Mobile applications for health can target heterogeneous audiences and address specific needs in different situations, with diverse outcomes, and by complementing highly developed healthcare technologies. The market is constantly evolving, making countless new mobile technologies potentially available to the healthcare system. Yet, research on the applications of these technologies is still scarce. Ob... Automated Recording Of Lectures In Medicine And Dentistry, And Their Integration Into The Learning Management System ILKUM (Interaktiver Lernzielkatalog Universitätsmedizin Mainz) The need for electronic teaching media to instruct medical students has risen significantly during recent years. This comprises the ability to offer recorded lectures. A current survey (2011/12) conducted at the Medical School of Mainz showed that 93% of students interviewed (n = 131, human and dental medicine) assessed a provision of lecture-records to be important or even very important. Implementation of an automated recording system of lectures faced numerous problems. These include: -... Custom Search: Between Bad Literacy and Guided Navigation Background: Since the Internet has begun to boom, people depend on the World Wide Web for searching and exchanging information all over the world.

Thus when it comes in finding information on the Internet, people are affected and tend to believe the results offered by search engines are the most helpful or t... Medicine 2.0'13 (London, UK)Acceptance Of Recorded Lectures In Clinical Dental And Medical Education Objectives: During recent years audio-visual recordings of lectures were made increasingly available to dental and medical students via online techniques. The present investigation aims to examine more closely whether these recordings are accepted in general, and whether they affect the learning behaviour of clinical dental and medical students. Methods: The present survey comprised two cohorts of students: one group consisted of dental students (n=58) who attended a systematic surgical l...
