As part of the Basic Science Survey Series (BSSS) for Dentistry, members of the American Dental Education Association (ADEA) Anatomical Sciences Section surveyed faculty members teaching embryology and histology courses at North American dental schools. The survey was designed to assess, among other things, curriculum content, utilization of laboratories, use of computer-assisted instruction (C...

introduction: the integration of behavioral and social sciences (bss) into the curriculum of medical students in order to equip them with the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes is an essential issue, emphasized in many researches. our aim is to investigate the barriers to integrate bss into the general medicine curriculum as well as the recommended strategies to overcome such barriers th...

The interconnection of integrated health sciences library systems with other health sciences computer systems to achieve information networks will require either custom linkages among specific devices or the adoption of standards that all systems support. The most appropriate standards appear to be those being developed under the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model, which specifie...

We present a multibody dynamics model of the feeding apparatus of the large Jurassic theropod dinosaur Allosaurus that enables testing of hypotheses about the animal’s feeding behavior and about how anatomical parameters influence function. We created CTand anatomical-inference-based models of bone, soft tissue, and air spaces which we use to provide inertial properties for musculoskeletal dyna...

This article presents theoretical considerations based on cultural analysis approaches to studying pornography and sexuality as a means of starting to suggest a new agenda for cyberporn research. By bringing to the forefront concepts of how subjectivity and sexuality are produced within the computer/Internet apparatus, I hope to diversify the focus in cyberporn research away from social science...

absracta rare variant of ansa cervicalis was discovered during dissection of the neck in amale cadaver. the superior root of the ansa cervicalis was formed by the c1 ventralramus. it accompanied with the vagus nerve in place of the hypoglossal nerve and descendedinto the carotid sheath with it. moreover the c1 ventral ramus formed fromthe sheath and joined the inferior root from c2 and c3 ventr...

The International Federation of Associations Anatomists (IFAA) are developing core syllabuses for the anatomical sciences by means Delphi panels. In this article, we provide subject matter teaching cell and basic tissues within a medical histology course. goal is to set an international standard providing guidelines such syllabus. panel, composed members across multiple countries, required two ...

Background: The supratrochlear foramen (STF) is an important and relatively common anatomic variation in the lower end of the humerus in humans. In recent years it has become clear that STF should be emphasized because anatomical knowledge of STF is useful for anatomists, anthropologists, orthopedic surgeons, and radiologists. The anatomical structure of the humerus may play an important role i...
