The 'conversion course' described in this paper has been set up following discussions between the Institute of Medical Illustrators (IMI) and Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU). The 'conversion course' will take the form of a degree triple module with a credit rating of 60 Scottish Credit and Accumulation Transfer (SCOTCAT) credits at Scottish Degree (SD) level 3. This module will require the student to undertake an extended theoretical based investigative project. The project will permit the student to study in-depth an aspect of his/her specialist interest that has a particular professional relevance. The topic of the project will be negotiated between the student and a scrutiny panel under the aegis of the department of Biological Sciences at Glasgow Caledonian University. The project will be written up in the style of an academic paper for the Institute's journal. Successful students will be awarded the BSc in Medical Illustration.

Vapour phase deposition of phosphonate-containing alumina thin films using dimethyl vinylphosphonate as precursor.
Dalton Trans

Phosphorous-containing materials are used in a wide array of fields, from energy conversion and storage to heterogeneous catalysis and biomaterials. Among these materials, organic-inorganic metal phosphonate solids and thin films present an interesting option, due to their remarkable thermal and chemical stability. Yet, the synthesis of phosphonate hybrids by vapour phase thin film deposition techniques remains largely unexplored.

Pancreatoduodenectomy and distal pancreatectomy are standard treatments for various pancreatic pathologies. These procedures involve radical resection and a significant loss of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In selected cases of benign tumors or those with low malignant potential, central pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates.

Advanced imaging modalities used currently have led to increases in recognition, diagnosis, and treatment of these tears. The anatomy, five-layer histology, and relationship to the Ellman classification of PTRCTs have been well studied, with recent interest in radiographic predictors, such as the critical shoulder angle and acromial index.

Article Synopsis
- Optic neuritis (ON) is an acquired disorder of the optic nerve linked with demyelinating conditions and can present differently in children compared to adults.
- The main concern for healthcare providers is the potential development of multiple sclerosis (MS) in patients with ON, which has led to a greater emphasis on distinguishing between MS and other demyelinating disorders like NMOSD and MOGAD.
- The paper discusses a case of a child with severe MOGAD ON, detailing the clinical features, investigations, and treatment that resulted in complete visual recovery.
