Abstract In recent years, there has been a growing trend toward the digitization of education, highlighting need to understand how different learning modalities impact medical student outcomes. This study analyzes user behavior among students in Microscopic Anatomy, focusing on preferences for digital versus face‐to‐face guided self‐study. A cohort 684 participated Anatomy courses, choosing between and self‐study sessions. Student participation was systematically tracked, capturing detailed...
Embryonic development is a complex process of concurrent events comprising cell proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, migration, and tissue remodeling. To cope with the demands arising from these developmental processes, cells increase their nutrient uptake, which subsequently increases metabolic activity. Mitochondria play key role in maintenance metabolism production reactive oxygen species (ROS) as natural byproduct. Regulation ROS by antioxidants critical tightly regulated...
To examine the implications of transition from face-to-face to online learning a psychobiological perspective, this study investigated potential differences in physiological stress parameters students engaged or and determined whether these can be identified as possible mediators between experience achievement emotions. In randomized experimental field study, medical (n = 82) attended either regular classes microscopic anatomy course same practical using Zoom videoconferencing platform. The...
Numerous research results have already pointed towards the negative influence of increased mental stress on educational processes and motivational criteria. It has also been shown that global public health crisis induced by COVID-19 was related to anxiety symptoms elevated levels distress. To holistically elucidate dynamics pandemic-related first-year medical students, associated parameters three different cohorts were measured at beginning restrictions university life in Germany (20/21),...
Previous research work has already demonstrated that both the form of teaching as well different methods directly influence students’ learning experience along with their psychobiological responses at endocrine and autonomic level. Aiming to gain deeper insights into constitution experience, this study examined external factors such generally perceived life stress self-efficacy on immediate in environments. Therefore, a randomized experimental field was conducted which psychological...
Abstract This research work focuses on evaluating the development of our three-step digitization approach, designed to transform traditional lectures into engaging digital learning experiences. Aimed at offering an easy-to-use solution for educators, this approach addresses pressing challenges modern educational environments by enhancing accessibility, engagement, and effectiveness through means. Quantitative analysis demonstrated a notable increase in knowledge gain students engaged with...
The escalating prevalence of mental health issues among young adults, set against the backdrop a global healthcare system under pressure, underscores necessity for cultivating resilient medical workforce. This study investigates influence socio-economic status (SES) on psychological well-being, with particular focus Anxiety Sensitivity (AS) and Intolerance Uncertainty (IU) first-year students. Understanding dimensions affecting students is crucial fostering future workforce that both capable...
This investigation pioneers an examination of the scarcely explored terrain social diversity in medical education, assessing complex impacts socioeconomic status (SES), prior working experiences, and completed apprenticeships on a spectrum psychological academic facets among first-year students (n = 336) urban university setting. By utilizing systematic detailed approach, study illuminates anatomical knowledge various psycholog-ical constructs, marking significant stride into domain where...

Prenatal stress exposure is considered a risk factor for developmental deficits and postnatal behavioral disorders. While the effect of glucocorticoid-associated prenatal has been comprehensively studied in many organ systems, there lack in-depth embryological investigations regarding effects on integumentary system. To approach this, we employed avian embryo as model organism investigated systemic pathologically-elevated glucocorticoid development After standardized corticosterone...

Basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors are expressed in various organs and involved diverse developmental processes. The mouse atonal homolog 8 (Atoh8), a bHLH factor, plays crucial role processes, especially as regulator of neurogenesis the retina. Besides, Atoh8 expression has been observed central nervous system. function during postnatal is still unclear.
<title>Abstract</title> This mixed-methods study investigated the impact of simulated oral examinations on inducing neurocardiac stress in medical students, integrating physiological measurements, quantitative assessments, and qualitative feedback. Ninety-five students participated, with heart rate variability (HRV) markers such as RMSSD, pNN50, SDNN, LF/HF ratios used to evaluate responses. Both lecturer-led peer-led simulations significantly reduced HRV markers, indicating heightened...

The relevance of identifying pathological processes in the context embryonic development is increasingly gaining attention terms professionalized prenatal care. To analyze local effects prenatally administered drugs during development, model organism chicken embryo can be used a first exploratory approach. For examination dexamethasone administration—as an exemplary drug—common bead implantation protocols have been adapted to serve as vivo technique for drug testing skin regeneration. this,...
Understanding the complex processes of fetal wound healing and skin regeneration can help to improve surgery. As part integumentary system, protects newborn organism against environmental factors serves various functions. Glucocorticoids enter circulatory system by either elevated maternal stress perception or through therapeutic administration are known affect adult composition regeneration. In present study, we aimed at investigating effects local glucocorticoid on process embryonic...
Embryology belongs to the basic sciences and is usually an integral part of anatomy. The subject traditionally taught by visual inspection embryonic tissue slides stained with Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) expose dynamics histology as development proceeds. While combining in situ hybridization for gene expression analysis immunostaining protein established technique embryology research, implementation this tool teaching has not been described. present study was conducted assess use online...
