Social Media has changed the way that individuals interact with each other - it brought considerable benefits, yet also some challenges. media in anatomy enabled anatomists all over world to engage, and form new collaborations otherwise would not have been possible. In a relatively small discipline where may be working as only anatomist an institution, having such virtual community can important. is being used means for communicate current generation of students well members public.

<p dir="ltr">Diabetic neuropathic pain is associated with elevated plasma levels of methylglyoxal (MGO). MGO a metabolite glycolysis that causes hypersensitivity in mice by stimulating the phosphorylation eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (p-eIF2α) and subsequently activating integrated stress response (ISR). We first established Zucker Diabetic Fatty (ZDF) rats have enhanced signaling, engage ISR, develop hypersensitivity. Since nuclear erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) regulates expression...

Ultrasound (US) is increasingly taught in medical schools, where it has been shown to be a valuable adjunct anatomy training. To determine the extent of US training nonmedical programs, and evaluate anatomists’ perceptions on role education, an online survey was distributed faculty Master's Doctoral programs. Survey results sampled 71% graduate degree programs nationally. Of surveyed, 65% report little no experience with US. Thirty‐six percent surveyed incorporate exposure US, while only 15%...
This study describes a new teaching model for ultrasound (US) training, and evaluates its effect on medical student attitudes toward US. First year students participated in hands‐on US during human gross anatomy (2014 N = 183; 2015 182). The sessions were facilitated by clinicians alone 2014, assistant (TA)‐clinician pairs 2015. Both cohorts completed course evaluations which included five US‐related items four‐point scale; cohort responses compared using Mann‐Whitney U tests with...
Ultrasound (US) can enhance anatomy education, yet is incorporated into few non‐medical programs. This study the first to evaluate impact of US training in gross for students United States. All 32 master's enrolled with anatomy‐centered ultrasound (ACUS) curriculum were recruited. Mean Likert ratings on pre‐ and post‐course surveys (100% response rates) compared effectiveness ACUS developing confidence, gauge its views US. Post‐course, reported significantly higher ( P < 0.001) mean...
Clerkships are defining experiences for medical students in which integrate basic science knowledge with clinical information as they gain experience diagnosing and treating patients a variety of settings. Among the sciences, there is broad agreement that anatomy foundational practice. Unfortunately, longstanding concerns student below expectations clerkship directors faculty. Most allopathic schools require eight "core" clerkships: internal medicine (IM), pediatrics (PD), general surgery...
Abstract Previous studies of the Middle Stone Age human remains from Klasies River have concluded that they exhibited more sexual dimorphism than extant populations, but these claims not been assessed statistically. We evaluate by comparing size variation in best‐represented elements at site, namely mandibular corpora and M 2 s, to samples three recent populations using resampling methods. also examine same seven additional middle late Pleistocene sites: Skhūl, Dolní Věstonice, Sima de los...
Traditionally, medical schools have maintained collections of tissues/organs to engage students in anatomy. Such are often stored volatile and toxic preservatives. Plastination is an alternative tissue preservation technique which polymers replace water lipids resulting benign, dry, anatomically authentic specimens. used education internationally; however, its use within U.S. not widely discussed the anatomical literature. This study aimed determine knowledge, use, perceptions plastination...
Social media, with its capabilities of fast, global information sharing, provides a useful medium for professional development, connecting and collaborating peers, outreach. The goals this study were to describe new, sustainable model Twitter use by societies, analyze impact on @AACAnatomy, the account American Association Clinical Anatomists. Under supervision an committee member, anatomy graduate student developed protocol publishing daily tweets @AACAnatomy. Five tweet categories used:...
Lack of knowledge the normal range anatomical variations has been linked to medical errors and malpractice. Some residency programs suggest earlier training in variations, yet integration at undergraduate education (UME) level is poorly understood. We surveyed schools determine inclusion anatomy curricula gauge attitudes towards value such training. Online survey requests were sent teaching faculty 119 132 accredited allopathic USA for which contact details available online. The IRB‐exempt...
Introduction Variation is a crucial component of literacy in anatomic education. Establishing sufficient understanding normal range variation imperative for safe clinical practice, as ignorance can lead to serious medical errors. Objective This study explores how currently integrated undergraduate allopathic education the USA and elucidates attitudes anatomy faculty towards training. Methods A 4‐part voluntary survey was constructed Qualtrics disseminated 139 accredited schools. Part 1...
The quest for the Vitruvian Man, a living embodiment of Nature's Design, was pervasive in much work early anatomists and remains prevalent today. Yet observations anatomical variation are as old study anatomy itself. Thus, notion an ideal human form is at odds with centuries direct observation dissection lab clinic. Anatomists have long recognized that body exhibits flexibility pattern which generally does not hinder its function. This flexibility, termed normal range variation, constant –...
Ultrasound (US) is increasingly taught in the medical curriculum, often concurrent with gross anatomy. A needs assessment was conducted to determine whether US should be part of anatomy educator toolkit. 24 question online survey distributed faculty Master's and PhD programs current extent training perceptions US. Respondents represent over half USA. The majority anatomists surveyed have little/no experience Results reveal that many grad provide imaging, but only a minority includes...
