- Rotator cuff tears are a common cause of shoulder pain, and proper repair requires understanding the anatomy of the rotator cuff footprint, especially after conservative treatments fail.!* -
- This study aimed to measure the dimensions of the rotator cuff footprint in Filipino cadavers, specifically looking at the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor muscles.!* -
- The results indicated that the average dimensions of the rotator cuff footprint were smaller in this population compared to previous studies, though the shapes were consistent with existing research.!*
Background And Objective: The pandemic acted as an accelerator for the development of online teaching formats in anatomy and histology worldwide. The authors introduce a bridging program that reinforces the knowledge and understanding of gross and correlative anatomy and histology acquired in a virtual environment in preparation for its future clinical application. The study aims to evaluate the Learning Enhancement in Anatomy Program (LEAP) conducted among first-year medical students at the College of Medicine, University of the Philippines Manila.

September 2024
Background And Objective: Oral ivermectin, a broad-spectrum anti-parasitic drug, alone or in combination with permethrin, may be a cheaper and more convenient alternative drug to topical permethrin alone in the treatment of classic scabies. There are no previous studies on the treatment acceptability of the three interventions among individual patients with scabies in the Philippines.The purpose of this study was to understand the experiences and perceptions on treatment acceptability for oral ivermectin, topical permethrin or combination treatment among patients with scabies using the multiple-case study approach.

Mapping the distribution and profile of dermatologists in the Philippines can improve Filipinos' access to skin disease treatment.
Methods: A review of the database of dermatologists from the Philippine Dermatological Society (PDS) members' directory (as of November 2023), as well as the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) database (as of July 2023), was conducted.
