Virtual Biopsy Development to Identify Patient's Glioma Grade at the CHU of Poitiers Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Glioma is a tumor of the central nervous system. These lesions are sorted with the WHO ranking regarding the tumoral oncotype. The tumoral MRI assessment is the first step before any medical decision. Currently, only anatomical biopsy can give the tumor grade definition and help to define the most adapted treatment.

AI-Based Clinical Orientation for Nursing Students

Aim: This experimental study aims to investigate the impact of an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based orientation program on the clinical orientation process of nursing students during their pediatric nursing clinical practice.Materials and Methods: The study population will consist of 186 third-year nursing students enrolled in the spring semester at a state university. The sample will include 90 students (45 intervention, 45 control) who meet the study criteria and volunteer to participate. Students in the intervention group will receive an AI-based clinical orientation program, while the control group will receive no additional intervention beyond the standard faculty and hospital orientation. Data will be collected between February and March 2026 using a "Descriptive Information Form," the "Clinical Adaptation Scale for Student Nurses," and the "Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students" in a pre-test/post-test design.Statistical Analysis: Data will be analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) will be used. Normality will be assessed via Kolmogorov-Smirnov/Shapiro-Wilk tests. For group comparisons, Chi-square, ANOVA, independent samples t-test, Mann-Whitney U, and Wilcoxon tests will be utilized. The statistical significance level will be set at $p \< 0.05$.Ethical Considerations: Ethical committee approval and necessary permissions from scale authors will be obtained before the study begins. Informed consent will be collected from all participants after explaining the study objectives.Keywords: Orientation training, nursing, student, artificial intelligence, clinical practice.
