Abstract Collections of human remains in scientific and private institutions have a long tradition, though throughout history there has often been variable regard for the respect dignity that these tissues demand. Recent public scandals around use remains, coupled with an increasing community awareness accountability such instances, forces scholars to confront ethical moral concerns associated collections. This includes specific focus on acquisition, storage, use, disposition which were...
Abstract Seventy‐seven patients with Raynaud's disease were studied for a mean of 4 years (range 1–11 years) to determine the relationship between autoantibodies and long‐term clinical outcome. Anticentromere antibodies (ACA) assayed by indirect immunofluorescence immunoblotting HeLa cell chromosome extracts. Antibodies topoisomerase I (anti–topo I) immunodiffusion immunoblotting. major centromeric protein, CENP‐B, anti–topo enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Eight developed...
University of Michigan Medical School (UMMS) students attending a seminar on the history and ethics anatomical dissection were fascinated by report room experience in Thailand that relates body donor's status as teacher. The felt they had naturally adopted "body teacher" approach their course, rather than first patient" is encouraged faculty. It was decided to explore question whether other medical shared these perceptions. A questionnaire sent out all UMMS who finished course. One hundred...
While time spent on anatomical education in medical school curricula has been diminishing over the last decades, recognized role of dissection expanded. It is perceived by many students and faculty not only as means learning structure function human body, but also an opportunity for acquisition professional competencies such team work, patient-doctor interaction, epistemology, self-awareness, understanding ethics. This viewpoint article proposes that this process can be supported effectively...
Abstract Research on the history of anatomy in Third Reich has often concentrated influence National Socialist (NS) regime anatomists and their consequent unethical activities. Only recently, focus shifted to NS victims whose bodies were used for anatomical purposes. As a first approach learning more about victims, this study investigated persons names Hermann Stieve, chairman Anatomical Department at University Berlin, had listed after using his research. The draws group portrait recounts...
Anatomy education provides students with opportunities to learn structure and function of the human body, acquire professional competencies such as teamwork, interpersonal skills, self‐awareness, reflect on practice medical ethics. The fulfillment this wide potential can present challenges in courses that are part an integrated curriculum shorter than traditional courses. This new reality, together students' increasing concern about stresses within education, led efforts at Harvard Medical...
Abstract The potential effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on the teaching anatomy are unclear. We explore hypothetical situation human body donors being replaced by AI simulations and reflect two separate ethical concerns: first, whether it is permissible to replace with in dissection room when consequences doing so unclear, second, overarching significance use education. To do this, we highlight key benefits student exposure donors, including nontechnical, discipline‐independent...
Eduard Pernkopf's Topographical Anatomy of Man has been a widely used standard work anatomy for over sixty years. International inquiries about the National Socialist (NS) political background Pernkopf and use bodies NS victims atlas were first directed at University Vienna in 1996. A public discussion further book followed led to creation Senatorial Project 1997. This historical research project confirmed strong affiliation revealed delivery least 1,377 executed persons Anatomical Institute...
