Most currently available three-dimensional surface models of human anatomic structures have been artistically created to reflect the anatomy being portrayed. We have recently undertaken, as part of our Visible Korean studies, to build objective surface models based on cross-sectional images of actual human anatomy. Objective of the present study was to elaborate surface models of the GI tract a...

Predicted increases in the frequency and duration of drought are expected to negatively affect tree vitality, but we know little about how water shortage will influence needle anatomy and thereby the trees' photosynthetic and hydraulic capacity. In this study, we evaluated anatomical changes in sun and shade needles of 20-year-old Norway spruce trees exposed to artificial drought stress. Canopy...

The aim of this study was to describe canal anatomy modifications by Path Files (PF) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in mandibular first molars. A total of 100 mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of mandibular first molars were prepared with PF. CBCT was used to scan the specimens before and after instrumentation. The root canal curvature, centric ability, apical transportation, root canal ...

Background: Understanding some part of the human body such as serous membrane, peritoneal cavity, lesser sac and proper mesentery is difficult for medical students. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of animal dissection on improving medical student knowledge and view related viscera and serous membrane anatomy. Methods: In YUMS in 2011, sixty eight medical students were ra...

Abstract Ultrasound (US) is increasingly used across medical specialities as a diagnostic tool and faculties are therefore further incorporating imaging into their programmes. Using US within undergraduate instruction has several benefits. US, learning instrument, may strengthen existing anatomical knowledge improve visual understanding of anatomy. The cost-effectiveness, well portability the m...

introduction: the sensitivity of teaching and learning processes at universities highlights the necessity of assessment, which is followed by improvement of education quality and efficacy of education system in the country. this study was carried out to perform an internal evaluation of department of anatomy and cell biology at kermanshah university of medical sciences in 2015. methods: this cr...

Background: Cervical sympathetic trunk (CST) is at risk of injury during surgical procedures cervical spine and may result in Horner’s syndrome. The purpose present study was to clearly describe the anatomy CST with respect surrounding structures analyse anatomical variations.Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 50 chains were studied by bilateral neck dissections 25 formalin fixed human cad...
