BACKGROUND Occult lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) can be detected by sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy, but studies in larger patient cohorts undergoing complete central neck dissection may be required to assess the diagnostic accuracy of SLN. Therefore, the authors prospectively assessed the usefulness of SLN biopsy for the detection of central lymph node metastasis i...

There is considerable controversy concerning the role of cadaveric dissection in teaching gross anatomy and the potential of using 3D computer-generated images to substitute for actual laboratory dissections. There are currently few high-quality 3D virtual models of anatomy available to evaluate the utility of computer-generated images. Existing 3D models are frequently of structures that are e...

background: measurement of gross , gross activities, and cosmogenic beryllium-7 (7be) concentrations were made both daily and weekly during the years 2001- 2004 from samples of atmospheric aerosols filtered from the air at tehran nuclear research center (35 41' n) and zahedan (28 29' n). materials and methods: weekly aerosol samples were collected with the high-volume air samplers on ...

To the Editor, Anatomical Sciences Education: The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted in-person higher education throughout world and forced most universities to offer their courses remotely (Al Lily et al., 2020; Nasri Oyedotun, Ramos-Morcillo 2020). These changes had profound impacts on gross anatomy body donation programs (Brassett Evans At medical schools in Australia New Zealand, sudden appearance...
