Revisit to Endolymphatic Duct Identification Using Middle Cranial Fossa Dural Plate: A Novel Technique.

Objectives: Surgical treatments for Ménière's disease differ in efficacy. Endolymphatic duct blockage (EDB) is favored for its minimal risk and ability to preserve hearing. One of the main challenges in the technique is the difficulty in accurately identifying the endolymphatic duct (ED).

Battling time restrictions with collective discourse: collaborative quizzes in a condensed human anatomy course.

Background: Undergraduate medical education is currently undergoing a remarkable period of transformation. The exponential growth of medical knowledge, accompanied by societal changes and expectations for the upcoming generation of physicians, is placing immense pressure on academic institutions to reform their curricula, particularly foundational courses such as human anatomy. Consequently, instructors are grappling with the challenge of striking a balance between a new curriculum and maintaining the time-honored benchmarks of medical education.

Uncovering the Presentation and Diagnosis of Human Bocavirus in a Patient at a Tertiary Care Center: A Case Report.

A toddler, thriving well, developmentally normal, and fully immunized, presented with fever, cough, and cold for a day, followed by breathing difficulty. Although the child was not ill upon admission, he had a fever and was breathing rapidly. On examination, visible sub-costal retractions and wheezing in both lungs were noted.

In vitro evaluation of cytotoxicity and genotoxicity of porous nickel titanium dental implants produced by metal injection molding technique.

Porous NiTi (pNiTi) is a promising biomaterial for functional long-term implantation that has been produced using various manufacturing techniques and tested for biocompatibility. pNiTi produced using a more recent technology of Metal Injection Molding (MIM) has shown better physical and mechanical properties than those produced by earlier manufacturing methods, but its biocompatibility has yet to be determined. Hence, extracts from pNiTi dental implants produced by MIM were tested for cytotoxicity and genotoxicity in this work.
