One Size Does Not Fit All in Remote Anatomy Teaching.

Anatomical knowledge is central to the advancement of biomedical research and clinical practice and provides the underpinning foundations for many clinical examinations and processes. Anatomy is a very practical and three-dimensional subject, requiring learners to be able to visualise structures within the body and how they interact with each other. Typically, this is taught through a combination of lectures and practical laboratories in which students can interact with human cadaveric material to gain an appreciation of real-life anatomy, often commenting on how these lab sessions really bring their lectures to life.

Soft-tissue landmarks for tibial baseplate rotational alignment in total knee arthroplasty: A cadaveric study.

The tip of the tibial tubercle (TTT) is used to assess tibial baseplate rotation in total knee arthroplasty (TKA); however, it can be difficult to palpate and visualize intraoperatively. Several more easily accessible soft-tissue structures have been proposed as intraoperative assessments, including the patellar tendon's medial border (MBPT) and the junction of the medial third of the patellar tendon (mt-PT). No studies have described the relationship between the TTT and these proposed landmarks.

Visualising the Link Between Carpal Bones and Their Etymologies.

It has been observed through published studies, as well as anecdotally, that medical students struggle with retention of anatomical knowledge. Studies have found that having an established understanding of classical Greek or Latin languages, which underpin medical terminology, can result in higher anatomy test scores by medical students. It has also been established that three-dimensional (3D) visualisation tools can aid in student learning.

A Methodology for Visualising Growth and Development of the Human Temporal Bone.

This chapter presents a methodological framework which could be used to produce accurate anatomical 3D models and animations of the developing skull, with a focus on the temporal bone. Initial modelling is based on information from core texts and visual references, before optimising these models for use in interactive real-time applications. A series of 3D modelling and animation workflows typically used in computer games and animation industry were tested and compared.

Creating a 3D Learning Tool for the Growth and Development of the Craniofacial Skeleton.

Advances in technology are facilitating wider access to delicate, and often irreplaceable, anatomy specimens for teaching. Moreover, 3-dimensional (3D) models and interactive applications may help students to understand the spatial arrangement of complex 3D anatomical structures in a way not afforded by the 2-dimensional (2D) textbook images of traditional teaching.Historical specimens from the University of Glasgow's Museum of Anatomy were digitised for the creation of a 3D learning tool to help students better understand the growth and development of the juvenile skull.

Predicting Discharge to Institutional Long-Term Care After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Metaanalysis.

Background/objectives: Stroke is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and a significant proportion of stroke survivors require long-term institutional care. Understanding who cannot be discharged home is important for health and social care planning. Our aim was to establish predictive factors for discharge to institutional care after hospitalization for stroke.

Juvenile age estimation from facial images.

Age determination from images can be of vital importance, particularly in cases involving suspected child sexual abuse (CSA). It is imperative to determine if an individual depicted in such an image is indeed a child, with a more concise age often sought, as this may affect the severity of offender sentencing. The aims of this study were to establish the accuracy of visual age estimation of the juvenile face in children aged between 0 and 16years and to determine if varying levels of exposure to children affected an individual's ability to assess age from the face.
