Background Near-peer teaching is used in anatomy education because of its benefits to the learner, teacher and faculty members. Despite range reports focusing on advantages for teacher, which are thought include communication skills, subject knowledge employability, only beginning be explored. Method A questionnaire was distributed teachers involved near-peer at University Southampton Brighton Sussex Medical School (BSMS). This designed using a rating scale 0–10 assess perspectives their...
Anatomy education research has identified neuroanatomy and pelvic anatomy as particularly challenging to medical students. However, perceptions of the whole undergraduate curriculum have not been properly determined. One hundred eighty-five second year student evaluations showed that head neck were rated significantly harder than remainder (p < 0.0001). students at National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition did rate other subjects. This study identifies topics which are perceived be...
Within medical education a reduction in curriculum time for subjects, such as anatomy puts pressure on educators to ensure the same learning outcomes are conveyed less time. This has potential impact negatively student experience. Near-peer teaching (NPT) is often praised an effective revision tool, but its use frontline resource remains unreported. The study explores NPT promote delivery of and maximize experience within neuroanatomy module second year students. occurred three educational...
<ns4:p>This article was migrated. The marked as recommended. Near-peer teaching (NPT) is becoming increasing popular in medical education. rationale and benefits of introducing such programs have been well documented are usually described terms their advantages to the teacher, students faculty. As a team that successfully introduced two NPT anatomy last six years at University Southampton, we taken largely evidenced based approach offering 10 considerations ensure implementation sustainable...
Rats exhibit ‘empathy’ making them a model to understand the neural underpinnings of such behavior. We show data consistent with these findings, but also that behavior and dopamine (DA) release reflects subjective rather than objective evaluation appetitive aversive events occur another. recorded DA in two paradigms: one involved cues predictive unavoidable shock conspecific another allowed rat refrain from reward when there were harmful consequences conspecific. Behavior reflected...
Undergraduates often perceive neuroscience to be a challenging discipline. As the scope of continues expand, it is important provide undergraduates with sufficient opportunities develop their knowledge and skills aim encouraging future generation basic clinical neuroscientists. Through our experience developing National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition (NUNC), we have accrued an extensive volume performance data subjective insight into delivery undergraduate neuroanatomy education,...
Study Design Test-retest methodological design using a sample of convenience. Objective To determine the criterion-related validity and reliability measuring first ray mobility with ruler. Background Studies have questioned accuracy assessing by manual examination. Use ruler adherence to strict guidelines in positioning patient may improve measure. This study investigates validity, intrarater interrater dorsal while following recent recommendations standardize position measurement. A valid...
Measurements from upper limb rehabilitation robots could guide therapy progression, if a robotic assessment's measurement error was small enough to detect changes occurring on time scale of few days. To this determination, study evaluated the smallest real differences measures, and clinical outcome assessments predicted these measures.A total nine older chronic stroke survivors took part in 12-week with an upper-limb end-effector robot. Fourteen measures were extracted, used predict...
Methods of assessment in anatomy vary across medical schools the United Kingdom (UK) and beyond; common methods include written, spotter, oral assessment. However, there is limited research evaluating these regards to student performance perception. The National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy Competition (NUNC) held annually for students throughout UK. Prior 2017, competition asked open-ended questions (OEQ) spotter examination, subsequent years also single best answer (SBA) questions. aim this...
Introduction The acute management of spinal fractures is traditionally split between neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons the specialities have varying approaches to management. This study investigates differences in at a single trauma centre United Kingdom.Methods A retrospective patients identified using Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN). Case notes radiological investigations were reviewed for demographics, fracture classification, clinical outcomes. Polytrauma cases managed by...
Neurophobia has been identified as a potential barrier to adequate knowledge of neurology in the medical community, and therefore patient safety. There is drive identify source neurophobia, hope tackling it. Comparing learning motivations standard students with those who enjoy neuroanatomy may be way doing this.The science motivation questionnaire (SMQ) was modified for neuroanatomy. It distributed three cohorts second year attending extracurricular National Undergraduate Neuroanatomy...

6524 Background: Expression of WT-1, a zinc-finger transcription factor, is elevated at diagnosis in many kinds leukemia. The prognostic significance the WT-1 transcript level before and after stem cell transplant controversial. We performed real-time quantitative PCR (RQ-PCR) on samples from pts with leukemia MDS undergoing allo stem-cell (SCT) to determine if expression correlates survival (OS) and/or disease-free (DFS). Methods: Pts were conditioned fludarabine, melphalan alemtuzumab....
