Australian and New Zealand universities commenced a new academic year in February/March 2020 largely with "business as usual." The subsequent Covid-19 pandemic imposed unexpected disruptions to anatomical educational practice. Rapid change occurred due government-imposed physical distancing regulations from March that increasingly restricted anatomy laboratory teaching practices. Anatomy educators both these countries were mobilized adjust their approaches. This study on education disruption...
Stress during doctoral study is common; however, its presence of concern to students as it has a deleterious impact on well-being and performance, the university which duty care desire promote supportive research environment. This article reports qualitative findings from an online survey that sought identify students' experiences related stress early-stage study. All newly enrolled PhD at University Otago (New Zealand) received invitations participate respond two questions In total, 152...
Abstract There is a growing need to learn surgical skills without risk patients. One of the major determining factors on suitability specimens for workshops fluid used embalming. This study sought compare three different arterial embalming preparations single fresh cadaver. Eleven cadavers embalmed using Graz (single cadaver), Dodge (four cadavers) and Genelyn (five were compared four criteria; joint flexibility measured with goniometer, tissue pliability rated standardized videos instrument...
Background: The correlation of the common carotid artery (CCA) bifurcation and its surrounding structures is poorly described. aim this study was to describe anatomy CCA relative structures. Method: We dissected a total 67 specimens from 36 embalmed cadavers. occurred at superior border thyroid cartilage in 39% body hyoid bone 40% specimens. Results: arose more commonly (52.3%) than external (46.2%). vagus nerve posterior 40 (60%), posterior–lateral 24 (36%), posterior–medial 2 (3%)...
This study measured and assessed facial soft tissue depths (FSTDs) in adult female Chinese New Zealand (NZ) Europeans (Caucasoids). Ultrasound was used to obtain at nine landmarks on 108 healthy subjects (51 Chinese, 57 NZ European), erect positioned, of same age group (18-29 years). Height weight were also recorded. Statistical analysis focused comparison depth between the two ancestry groups influence Body Mass Index (BMI) (kg/m2). Results showed mean differences Supra M2 Infra...

Medical graduate interest in surgery has declined and medical students are less capable anatomy than they once were. Declining is because of factors, including growing number women entering school. There been emphasis teaching at various schools recent years. The aim this study to quantify surgical inclination Auckland assess whether gender differences exist determine confidence knowledge resources used by students.Survey design was cross-sectional included 25-point questionnaire using...
This study elucidates the structure of anal sphincter complex (ASC) and correlates individual layers, namely external (EAS), conjoint longitudinal muscle (CLM) internal (IAS), with their ultrasonographic images. Eighteen male cadavers, an average age 72 years (range 62-82 years), were used in this study. Multiple methods including gross dissection, coronal axial sheet plastination, different histological staining techniques endoanal sonography. The EAS was a continuous layer but relations,...
Unrecognized pin penetration in the treatment of slipped capital femoral epiphysis has serious long-term sequelae. The purpose this study was to use postoperative computerized tomographic (CT) scans determine true position screw tip when compared with standard radiograph views.Twenty-four patients 33 epiphyses were included study. Intraoperative or radiographs [anteroposterior (AP) and frog lateral] CT (coronal axial) (1) distance from subchondral bone head, (2) number threads across physis,...
The head is positioned erect for an approximation; yet most facial soft tissue depths (FSTD) used are measured from supine subjects. Depth difference might be significant, but there a paucity of data to verify. This study compared and values 17 landmarks 30 healthy New Zealand (European population affinity) women (18-30 or 40-55 years) in then positions. Height, weight, sonographic FSTD data, totaling 1020 measurements, were obtained. Three midline seven averaged bilateral using ANOVA, p...
<span>In response to the challenges created by implementation of a new medical school curriculum at University Otago in 2008, we aimed develop blended learning course for teaching rheumatology within existing musculoskeletal course. We developed multimedia online resource structured support class based problem-based (PBL) sessions, and enhance student engagement promote clinical reasoning. also align over three geographically separate campuses, more student-centred approaches meet...
<span>While the potentials of virtual worlds to support experiential learning in medical education are well documented, assessment student within these environments is relatively scarce and often incongruent.

Virtual worlds have the potential to enact experiential learning of professional practices in simulated environments. The Otago Hospital (OVH) is one such virtual world where medical students role-playing as junior doctors make diagnoses and manage realistic clinical cases. To integrate use into existing curriculum, their distinctive relevance needs be determined. A case study was conducted find out how OVH distinctively relevant education. Following a trial involving 11 completing same...
