Background: The foot is composed of medial, lateral and transverse arches which, particularly the medial arch, provide it with ability to function both as a flexible rigid structure for proper locomotion. Arches foot, well their effect on lower extremity function, have been studied. However, quantitative data relationship between these still remain scanty. purpose this study was, therefore, examine how three intercorrelate. Materials methods: Seventy-six participants (58 males, 18 females)...
Summary Honey is traditionally consumed by the local Malaysian population as a nutrient, well for enhancement of fertility. The decline in male reproductive health and fertility last 30 years has been linked to environmental toxicants including cigarette smoke (CS). In human experimental studies, CS exposure associated with decreased plasma testosterone level, lower sperm count increased percentage abnormal sperm. aim this study, therefore, was determine possible protective role honey...
Students' perceptions of the education environment influence their learning. Ever since major medical curriculum reform, anatomy has undergone several changes in terms its curriculum, teaching modalities, learning resources, and assessment methods. By measuring students' concerning environment, valuable information can be obtained to facilitate improvements Hence, it is important use a valid inventory that specifically measures attributes environment. In this study, new 11‐factor, 132‐items...
Lecturing is widely considered to be a passive, teacher-centred teaching method that fails foster learning, yet it remains the most feasible of among higher institutions. Some modern lectures, aligned with recommendations from published guidelines on effective lecturing, are less didactic and more interactive than others, but little known about converting classical knowledge-transfer process lecturing actual learning. We introduce cognitive load theory-based lecture guideline adopts various...
There is a need to create standard interactive anatomy lecture that can engage students in their learning process. This study investigated the impact of new lecturing guideline, Cognitive Load Theory-based Lecture Model (CLT-bLM), on students' cognitive engagement and motivation.A randomised controlled trial involving 197 participants from three institutions was conducted. The control group attended freestyle gross heart, delivered by qualified anatomist each institution. intervention...
Abstract The spinal nucleus of the accessory nerve (SNA) comprises group somata (perikarya) motor neurons that supply sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles. There are many conflicting views regarding longitudinal extent topography SNA, even in same species, these disagreements prompted present investigation. Thirty Sprague–Dawley rats (15 males, 15 females) were used. SNA was localized by retrograde axonal transport horseradish peroxidase. Longitudinally, found to be located caudal part...
Abstract Background The Anatomy Education Environment Measurement Inventory (AEEMI) evaluates the perception of medical students educational climates with regard to teaching and learning anatomy. study aimed cross-validate AEEMI, which was previously studied in a public school, proposed valid universal model AEEMI across private schools Malaysia. Methods initial 11-factor 132-item distributed 1930 pre-clinical clinical year from 11 examined construct validity using exploratory confirmatory...
Abstract Introduction Stroke has emerged as the leading cause of disability globally. The provision long‐term rehabilitation to stroke survivors poses a health care burden many countries. Robotic devices have created major turning point in program. Currently, anthropometric evidence support benefit robotic (RR) among patients is scarce. Therefore, aim this study was evaluate impact RR on mid‐thigh circumferences paretic limbs patients. Methods Twenty from conventional (CR) ( n = 10) and (n...
In humans, the offspring of maternal cocaine misusers are known to have subtle cognitive and motor impairments in later life. It was therefore hypothesized that such exposure animals would also affect morphological structure brain. This possibility investigated by exposing rats between embryonic day 15 postnatal 6. Samples cocaine-exposed control were killed for examination at 22 150 days age. Stereological procedures (the Cavalieri principle together with physical disector method) utilized...
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) typically occurs in the setting of immunodeficiency and specifically presence HIV infection, when it is called AIDS-associated KS (AIDS-KS). In spite impressive gains South African (SA) antiretroviral therapy (ART) roll-out programme since 2004, AIDS-KS still causes significant morbidity mortality, treatment advanced disease can be challenging owing to centralisation oncology services high incidence concurrent infections. 2014, a multidisciplinary clinic (MKSC) was...
Hypoxia-ischemia (HI) is a major cause of brain damage in the newborn.Several studies elicited neuroprotective effects progesterone adult rats but there very little literature available on neonatal rats.Therefore present study undertaken to see effect hypoxic ischemic injury rats, using an established HI rat pup model.Sevenday-old pups were subjected right common carotid artery ligation and then 60 minutes hypoxia.The first dose treatment group was administered by peritoneal injection (4...
Declining anatomy knowledge of junior doctors has been linked to clinical error judgement and medicolegal litigation. To overcome the problem, educators have introduced many teaching initiatives during undergraduate study that might promote acquisition retention, including using integrated instruction. Anatomy instruction can be in terms its contents approach. Learning from allows students relate subjects with different subdisciplines comprehend related context for future application. On...
Inadequate anatomical knowledge due to unsatisfactory anatomy education environment has contributed poor clinical performance among medical graduates. Unfortunately, no specific measurement tool is available. Delphi technique was conducted identify the components and their items. It involved identification of possible definitions by nine anatomists which were then appraised verified, getting critical appraisal from five educationists, determining suitable items for each component finally...
Anatomy is an important knowledge for medical practice.Insufficient anatomy leading to errors in identification of anatomical structures during practices has been reported many countries.Many students seem have difficulties learning and retaining the future practice, thus this might reflect possible flaws education.In order achieve optimum education environment close gaps education, measuring students' perception on teaching a pre-emptive measure needed by educationists.At present, there no...
Deltamethrin is a widely used type II pyrethroid-based insecticide. Studies have indicated that neonatal exposure to deltamethrin, even at relatively low doses, results in behavioral and neurological changes. In the present study, effect of early doses deltamethrin on histogenesis cerebellar cortex was investigated. Materials methods: Sprague Dawley male pups were exposed daily dose 1 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection from 2nd 5th postnatal day sacrificed days 6, 14, 21. Following...
A comprehensive understanding of anatomical structures is essential for medical and healthcare students, as it forms the foundation clinical evaluations, surgical interventions diagnostic imaging. The conventional methods employed in anatomy education, which mainly comprise use textbooks, lectures cadaver dissections, could be improved. Such changes include converting two-dimensional representations into three-dimensional (3D) to help address ethical logistical challenges related use. Due...
