8. Facilitating a Supportive Learning Experience: The Lecturer's Role in Addressing Mental Health Issues of University Students during COVID-19

Author

Heim, Caroline and Heim, Christian

Abstract

During COVID-19, rates of mental health issues, particularly anxiety, rose significantly in university students. In the scramble to adapt to online learning, university professors were overwhelmed with material aimed at facilitating a supportive learning experience and preserving student academic performance in online contexts yet were ill-equipped to cope with the increased volume of mental health issues encountered. Many studies attest to the association between poor mental health and academic performance. It has been shown that students often report their mental health issues to university professors who are called upon to cope with these issues as best they can. This paper outlines strategies undertaken, in the context of a novel undergraduate mental health program, to address emergent mental health issues during COVID-19 student isolation. These practical, cost effective interventions can be used to successfully give voice to ongoing student mental health issues in a post-COVID world and to help professors feel equipped and empowered enough to contribute to stemming the tide of rising rates of mental illness meaningfully, appropriately and professionally.

Abstract

Tissue-mimicking materials (TMMs) typically used for ultrasound phantoms include gelatin, agarose and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). These materials have shown sufficient similarity in ultrasound parameters compared to human tissue. Despite their extensive use for years to generate ultrasound phantoms, no simple and easily reproducible way to generate complex, wall-less ultrasound flow phantoms has been introduced. Commercially available ultrasound flow phantoms are limited to simple flow geometries that do not reflect the complex blood flow in humans. Flow phantoms with complex geometries presented in scientific publications either have walls between TMMs and the flow channel, are limited to one material, or are complicated to produce. In this contribution, we present a method using 3D printing and soluble filament that allows for the reliable and consistent production of complex flow geometries with the typical materials used for ultrasound phantoms and without any walls.

Abstract

Patient-tailored silicone plug for HeartMate 3™ left ventricular assist device explantation in two successive males proceeded successfully. Given medical therapeutic advancements, FDA-approved plug systems designed by LVAD manufacturers themselves will be necessary for the near future to provide a safe and simple device explantation alternative that fulfills all regulatory standards.
