Cadaveric study on the arterial blood supply to the middle third nasal skin: implications for aesthetic and reconstructive surgery.

Purpose: To provide a detailed examination of the arterial blood supply to the middle third of the nasal skin through cadaveric dissections, identifying the primary arterial sources and their precise locations.

Methods: Cadaveric dissections were performed on 14 hemifaces from fresh specimens. The main feeding arteries and their branches were carefully dissected under magnification.

Tutors' perspective on the impact of their anatomy tutoring experience and ethics of body donation.

Purpose: To explore the future of former anatomy tutors, their perception of the impact that the anatomy near-peer teaching (NPT) program have had on them, in terms of academic performance, professional development, personal growth, long-term anatomical knowledge, and views on body donor ethics. Additionally, we compared their academic performance with non-tutor peers in terms of ranking at the National Qualifying Examination (NQE).

Methods: A voluntary survey was emailed to all anatomy tutors from 2005 to 2024, using an online Google Forms questionnaire including closed and open-ended questions across four themes.

Contained hepatic vascular injuries following liver trauma: a retrospective monocentric study and review of the literature.

Background: Over the past 30 years, there has been a major shift in the management of liver trauma. Contained hepatic vascular injuries (CHVI), including pseudoaneurysms and arteriovenous fistulas, are often feared because of the risk of secondary hemorrhage. However, little is known about CHVI.

DeepMesh: Differentiable Iso-Surface Extraction.

Geometric Deep Learning has recently made striking progress with the advent of continuous deep implicit fields. They allow for detailed modeling of watertight surfaces of arbitrary topology while not relying on a 3D euclidean grid, resulting in a learnable parameterization that is unlimited in resolution. Unfortunately, these methods are often unsuitable for applications that require an explicit mesh-based surface representation because converting an implicit field to such a representation relies on the Marching Cubes algorithm, which cannot be differentiated with respect to the underlying implicit field.

A national survey to assess the state of anatomy teaching in France across various disciplines and professions.

Purpose: To investigate the current practices in anatomy teaching at French universities in 2023.

Methods: On January 10, 2023, a questionnaire was sent to all members of the official list of the French Medical College of Professors of Anatomy. Each Anatomy centre was asked to complete this online form only once.
