This is one of the most stimulating books on Renaissance medicine I have read, and, at the same time, one of the most perverse. It offers a series of challenging theses. The rise of anatomy in the sixteenth century is to be viewed, not as part of medicine or science, but of natural philosophy, a branch of theology concerned with investigating and demonstrating the works of God in nature. The cl...

The current work aimed to analyse the anatomical findings of the nasal and paranasal sinuses of the donkey by gross anatomical observation of the skull and cadaver head, cross-sections, sagittal sections and computed tomography (CT) imaging. Seven adult donkeys and ten skulls were used in this study. The donkey head had six pairs of sinuses, three paranasal; the frontal, maxillary, and sphenopa...

In undergraduate medical training, teaching of anatomy is increasingly needed in the fourth and fifth (clinical) years due to various reasons (1, 2). A number of medical institutions have shortened the duration of gross anatomy in their curriculum with the introduction of newly emerging specialties in medical sciences (3). Anatomy is considered a prime learning issue in the operating room (2). ...

The pancreas was one of the last organs in the abdomen to receive the critical attention of anatomists, physiologists, physicians, and surgeons. [1] [2] It was first referred to as the “finger of the liver” in the Talmud, written between 200 BC and 200 AD. Galen named it (though Ruphos, circa 100 AD, should probably be credited), and thought the pancreas served to support and protect blood vess...

The aim of the article is to present the history of teaching medicine in Gdansk in early modern era and the eminent anatomists working in Academic Gymnasium of Gdansk. The preserved report...

We found multiple aneurysms in the intracranial arteries and abdominal aorta of an 87-year-old Korean female cadaver, whose cause of death was reported as "cholangiocarcinoma." An abdominal aortic aneurysm was observed in the infrarenal aorta, where the inferior mesenteric artery arose. The intracranial aneurysms were found in the A3 segment of the anterior cerebral artery and at the bifurcatio...

Histochemistry provides the unique opportunity to detect single molecules in the very place where they exert their structural roles or functional activities: this makes it possible to correlate structural organization and function, and may be fruitfully exploited in countless biomedical research topics. Aiming to estimate the impact of histochemical articles in the biomedical field, the last fe...

This study aims to analyze Johann Gottlieb Walter's biography (1734-1818), a German physician that specialized in human anatomy, who received an award of the Göttingen Royal Academy of Sciences. Here, we describe his technique of preparing bones for educational purposes through the comparison of other widely used techniques. The article also focuses on the great historical, scientific and didac...
