Perception of First-Year MBBS Students Toward Virtual Dissection in Learning Anatomy: A Comparative Study Between High and Low Academic Achievers.

Introduction Anatomy, as a crucial subject in the medical curriculum, demands continuous efforts to adopt innovative teaching methods to make it a student-friendly subject. One of the new educational technologies is the virtual anatomy dissection. This high-tech tool allows students to perform some hands-on manipulation of a digital cadaver through an electronic screen in the form of a table.

Assessing Medical Students' Perspectives on Organ Donation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background Organ donation is a community service that not only saves lives but also improves the quality of life. The major concerns causing organ shortage in the country are the lack of awareness and correct knowledge among the public and myths and misconceptions clouding organ donation because of religious and cultural barriers. Material and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among 300 medical students of a private medical college in the Telangana region, India, from July 2019 to October 2019 after approval from the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC).

Distribution and Uniqueness in the Pattern of Lip Prints.

Introduction Lip prints are the characteristic pattern of wrinkles and grooves on the labial mucosa. Lip prints can be classified into various patterns and can be used for personal identification as they are unique and do not change during the life of a person. Cheiloscopy is a forensic investigation technique that deals with the identification of humans based on lip traces.

Comparison of Team-Based Learning Over Conventional Didactic Lecture Among Second-Year MBBS Students.

Introduction Team-based learning (TBL) is an active and structured learning process. This study was undertaken to develop interest among the students over the subject and to analyze the academic performance over routine conventional lecture method of teaching. This was a comparative study organized to know the effectiveness of TBL over conventional didactic lecture (CDL) and also to assess the student's perception towards TBL.

Efficacy of Case-Based Learning in Anatomy.

Introduction In the present Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), learning is more student-centered where the students take the responsibility for their learning. Anatomy is an important basic science that lays the foundation for clinical courses in the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) curriculum. To make it interesting and clinically useful, several innovative teaching-learning methods like case-based learning (CBL) and problem-based learning (PBL) are introduced.

Morphometry of Suprascapular Notch and its Correlation with that of Scapula.

Suprascapular notch is the common site for the entrapment of the suprascapular nerve. Suprascapular nerve compression usually presents with vague pain across the scapula or dull shoulder ache. It is more common in over head athlets like volleyball players.

A study on the morphology of the suprascapular notch and its distance from the glenoid cavity.

Introduction: A suprascapular nerve entrapment can occur at the suprascapular notch or at the spinoglenoid notch. So, the size and shape of the suprascapular notch are associated with suprascapular entrapment neuropathy as well as with an injury to the suprascapular nerve in arthroscopic procedures. The knowledge on the variations along the course of the nerve is important in understanding the source of the entrapment syndrome.

Cor triloculare biventriculare with left superior vena cava.

Cor triloculare biventriculare is a rare congenital malformation of the heart in which there is a complete absence of the atrial septum. It is usually associated with other anomalies like complete atrioventricular canal defect, polysplenic syndrome, isolated dextrocardia, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, or persistent left superior vena cava. We report a case of a stillborn male foetus of 35 weeks gestation with common atrium, complete atrioventricular canal defect, and persistent left superior vena cava.

Arch of aorta with bi-carotid trunk, left subclavian artery, and retroesophageal right subclavian artery.

We report a case of left sided aortic arch with three branches - a bi-carotid trunk, left subclavian, artery and right subclavian artery. The anomalous right subclavian artery presented a retroesophageal course. A right non-recurrent laryngeal nerve was noticed.
