This article presents the evolution of the subject of vascular anatomy and discusses the associated clinical applicability....
Clinically-driven surgical examples met in our everyday practice were used to depict characteristic anatomical paradoxes raised by the inconsistencies between classical anatomical perception, current ...
Consequent anatomy-driven modifications of medical devices comprise a characteristic example of the vivid, modern and meaningful role that anatomy can have on clinical decision-making and improvement ...
While the traditional teaching of vascular anatomy is based on information and illustrations derived from dissection and prosection courses, the development of modern imaging technologies applied in l...
The concept of evidence-based anatomy (EBA) emerged in 2014 and has become a significant element in contemporary anatomy education. The evolving fabric of the medical education curriculum has necessit...
The use of human cadaveric dissection forms an essential part of teaching anatomy to health sciences students in Malawi. Despite worldwide struggles in acquiring sufficient human cadavers for anatomy ...
A retrospective audit of the cadaveric records for the 2006-2022 academic years at the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences was done. The perceived challenges when sourcing the cadavers were identifie...
The majority (97.3%) of the cadavers used between 2006 and 2022 were unclaimed bodies. The mean age of the cadavers was 45 years. Most (95.6%) of the unclaimed bodies were males. All the unclaimed bod...
Cadavers for anatomy education in Malawi are mainly from unclaimed bodies, similar to other African countries. The authors support the transition from using "mostly unclaimed bodies (and, less often, ...
Currently, multiple tools exist to teach and learn anatomy, but finding an adequate activity is challenging. However, it can be achieved through haptic experiences, where motivation is the means of a ...
Plaster bone models of the scapulae, humerus and clavicle were elaborated from a computerized scan tomography. Second year undergraduate medical students were invited to participate, where subjects we...
The survey demonstrated the students in the 3D model graded the experience as outstanding, and in five out of the six questions, answers were very good or excellent. In contrast, for students particip...
To learn the anatomy of the shoulder, the conventional methodology was compared with a haptic experience, where plaster bone models were used, enabling students to touch and paint on them. Based on th...
Anatomy teaching has traditionally been based on dissection. However, reduced hours in total and laboratory hours in gross anatomy along with a dearth of cadavers have ensued the search for a less tim...
The study was conducted in the Department of Anatomy in Sheikh Bhikhari Medical College, Hazaribag. A total of 282 medical students were taught gross anatomy, using three different learning modalities...
When performance is considered, the dissection and 3D group performed better than the plastic models group in total, MCQs, and tag questions. In the evaluation questionnaire, dissection performed bett...
All data were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA and t-test. Group-based analysis by ANOVA and gender-based analysis were done by Student's t-test. A comparison of students' perceptions was done by Krus...
Dissection remains a favorite with students and accomplishes a significantly higher attainment of knowledge. Plastic models are less effective but are a valuable tool in preparation for cadaveric labo...
Medical students are frequently introduced to medical school curricula through anatomy coursework, which often includes histology and embryology content. As medical education has increasingly emphasiz...
We developed a CBL session that included anatomy, embryology, and histology content covering the upper extremity and breast pathology that was taught to incoming first-year medical students (...
Postsession quiz scores significantly improved (...
CBL sessions can provide opportunities to incoming first-year medical students to practice, adapt, and evaluate study techniques while delivering integrated content....
In response to the COVID-19 crisis, this study aimed to introduce a new virtual teaching model for anatomy education that combines Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) and flipped classrooms, aligning with co...
The Flipped Peer Assisted (FPA) method was implemented in a virtual neuroanatomy course for second-year medical students at Birjand University of Medical Sciences via a descriptive study. The method i...
A total of 210 students participated in the instruction using the FPA method. The analysis of students' scores revealed an average score of 26.75 ± 3.67 on the 30-point test. According to student feed...
The FPA model demonstrates its effectiveness in transforming traditional classroom teaching and fostering teaching and learning in virtual environments, particularly during pandemics like COVID-19. Th...
The objective of this work was to assess, in a quantitative and qualitative way, the teaching of cervical and abdominal anatomy via ultrasound for medical students....
For several years, tutorials on the study of anatomy through use of ultrasound on the living organism have been given at the Medical School of Brest. These sessions have focused on cervical anatomy an...
One hundred and twelve students answered all the questions on the pre-test with an average of 13.4 correct answers out of 20. Forty-eight students answered all the questions on the post-test with an a...
The results of this work suggest that the use of ultrasound makes a positive contribution to the teaching of anatomy. The students interviewed think this type of tutorial should be an integral part of...
In 2021, university teaching at the Faculty of Medicine Tuebingen was transferred to a digital setting. Due to the discontinuation of face-to-face teaching, students lacked the temporal and spatial fr...
Learning strategies of 146 students were assessed by means of a questionnaire. The anatomy exam was used to assess the academic performance. In addition, students were asked to rate their own oral exa...
Students used strategies of collaborative learning (M = 3.30, SD = 0.88) and self-organisation (M = 3.28, SD = 0.72) about equally as often. A significant correlation was found between the use of coll...
Initiative collaborative learners showed a higher degree of realistic self-assessment. This could be explained through a more distinct social referencing, as fellow students' knowledge levels can be r...
Three-dimensional-printed anatomical models (3DPAMs) appear to be a relevant tool due to their educational value and their feasibility. The objectives of this review were to describe and analyse the m...
An electronic search was conducted on PubMed using the following terms: education, school, learning, teaching, learn, teach, educational, three-dimensional, 3D, 3-dimensional, printing, printed, print...
Of the 68 articles selected, the cephalic region was the most studied (33 articles); 51 articles mentioned bone printing. In 47 articles, the 3DPAM was designed from CT scans. Five printing processes ...
This systematic review demonstrates that 3DPAMs are feasible at a low cost and effective for teaching anatomy. More realistic models require access to more expensive 3D printing technologies and subst...
