Abstract Dissection of human body donors is a valuable part anatomical education, research, and clinical training. In the United States, deceased bodies are predominantly sourced through whole‐body donation programs (BDPs) housed by academic institutions. Due to lack information regarding BDPs, aim this study was gather from US BDPs survey better understand process standard operating procedures these programs. 2021, Qualtrics distributed 125 yielded responses 72 program leaders....

Formalin had traditionally been used to preserve human material teach gross anatomy. In 2008 the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification (CAHID) at University of Dundee embarked on use Thiel method embalming. The aim this pilot study was assess difference between formalin‐embalmed cadavers (FEC) Thiel‐embalmed (TEC) teaching surgical training. Three different questionnaires were prepared data collection from undergraduate postgraduate students clinical staff. All as well staff commented...

Abstract Cadaveric material has long been used to teach anatomy and more recently train students in clinical skills. The aim of this study was develop a systematic approach compare the impact four embalming solutions on tissues human cadavers. To end, formalin‐based solution, Thiel, Genelyn Imperial College London soft‐preservation (ICL‐SP) solution were compared. effect these chemicals properties tissue assessed by measuring range motion (ROM) joints dimensions different structures computed...

Human body donors play a crucial role in anatomical education, research, and clinical skills training, those interested donation may bequeath their bodies to programs (BDPs). The purpose of this study was evaluate the perspective on process order make recommendations for improvement that align with donor values. A survey administered via email 2145 individuals had enrolled Ohio State University's BDP yielded 40% response rate. Results showed majority registered do not place high importance...

Over the past decades, teaching and learning within discipline of anatomy has undergone significant changes. Some these changes are due to a reduction in number hours, while others related advancements technology. Faced with many choices for change, it can be difficult faculty decide on which new developments anatomical education need or indeed integrated into their course enhance student learning. This article presents universal design (UDL) framework-an informed, evidence-based, robust...

Deceased human bodies are donated for education and research. Informed consent has become the standard research on living. A question could be asked how informed donors their families about process before this generous gift is given. The aim of study to evaluate compare published donation forms used by body programs in United States assess them according guidelines American Association Clinical Anatomists. findings shows that level information given families, consenting whole donation,...

AimsInfectious health risks are associated with handling human cadavers and to decrease such risks, embalmed using different chemicals. The aim of this study is quantify the amount micro‐organisms present in regions before embalming, after embalming over a period 8 months.

Abstract Given the demand for anatomy instruction, it is imperative to understand current cohort of teachers. This study aimed delineate demographic characteristics, academic backgrounds, and professional responsibilities United States (U.S.) A survey was sent teachers who were identified by their membership profiles. Results from 654 responses indicated that 45% respondents as female 67% white. Most (68%) had an doctoral degree. On average, completed graduate coursework in approximately...

Abstract Bodies of the deceased are important for training healthcare professionals in anatomy education, research, and clinical skills. While body donation programs exist many countries around world, few Africa, likely due to strong religious convictions public, socioeconomic factors, other difficulties. Consequently, African rely on unclaimed unidentified bodies, which abandoned hospitals or mortuaries. This study investigated different sources bodies their use education West Africa....

Utilizing reality anatomy such as dissection and demonstrating using cadavers has been described a superior way to create meaning. The chemicals used embalm differentially alter the tissue of human body, which led usage different processes along hard soft-fixed spectrum preserved cadavers. A questionnaire based approach was gain better insight into opinion anatomists on use for teaching anatomy. This study focused teachers in United Kingdom Ireland. From 125 participating anatomists, 34.4%...

Several teaching resources are used to enhance the learning of anatomy. The purpose this study was examine preference medical students on use various learn anatomy and their link 12 outcomes. A selected response item questionnaire administered that asked rank six laboratory from most least preferred, rate how useful these were towards achieving These outcomes covered many domains such as demonstrating an understanding anatomy, visualizing structures, appreciating clinical correlations,...

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction interferes with the quality of life and activities daily living among patients. The symptoms temporomandibular dysfunction, including pain clicking popping sounds, are worsened during stressful events, patients report increased around joint. Stress-related behaviors, such as teeth clenching grinding, commonly reported increasing stress. prevalence stress-related behaviors is differently in literature. Stress higher education common. purpose this pilot...

Abstract Donor‐centered education offers students the opportunity to not only acquire visual and tactile experiences for applying anatomical knowledge but also a chance reflect upon fundamental humanistic principles. The exploration of differences in students' viewpoints on body donation utilization donors their remains unexplored across various healthcare professional programs, which has an impact student learning experience. This study aimed qualitatively examine similarities perspectives...

The American Association for Anatomy convened a task force to create best practices and recommendations document human body donation, addressing critical need standardized guidelines in this area. included members with specialized expertise procedural ethical aspects of donation programs. Their aim was ensure that the process adheres highest standards, protecting both dignity donors integrity programs receive them. This represents first comprehensive guide working donors, offering clear...

The aim of this study was to determine whether Thiel-embalmed cadavers would provide a useful anatomy teaching tool for topics that cannot be approached using formalin-fixed such as oral cavity examination and maxillary anesthesia. suitability bodies performing examinations assessed by asking first-year dental hygiene students at school in Ireland identify structures on classmate body. conducted 2016. ease location compared the two settings, their quality cadavers. teach anesthesia students'...

Abstract Work with deceased human bodies to enhance anatomical education was first documented in the 3rd century BCE. However, development of body donation programs provided many new opportunities for medical education. The aim this study investigate work supported by donors at academic institutions United States and evaluate ethical oversight process preparation methods used. A questionnaire developed using Qualtrics sent 125 States. Representatives from a total 69 completed questionnaire....

Abstract The teaching of anatomy is relevant to many fields and teachers are in demand. Individuals with a graduate education some the most sought‐after candidates fill open positions, but it unclear as what constitutes education. purpose this study was investigate components United States.
