Introduction. Cadaveric dissections and prosections have traditionally been part of undergraduate medical teaching. Materials and Methods. Hundred and fifty-nine first-year students in the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, were invited to participate in the above study. Students were randomly allocated to two age and gender matched groups. Both groups were exposed to identical series ...

The cross sectional echocardiographic description of holes in the ventricular septum has been unsatisfactory, chiefly because there are so many classifications of this defect. The accurate description of the anatomy of individual defects, from cross sectional images, is more important than attempts to fit them into a preconceived classification. One hundred specimens of hearts with a ventricula...

We developed anatomically related cross-sectional echocardiographic views to image the heart from the subxiphoid area in 100 children and infants with various forms of congenital heart disease studied prospectively before cardiac catheterization. Wide-angle cross-sectional views were achieved using a mechanical sector scanner in a scan plane oriented parallel to a line between the patient's sho...

BACKGROUND This study was undertaken to determine whether medical students' recall of anatomy is lost when the student reaches clinical years, and whether a four month teaching of Anatomy in the pre-clinical years had any impact. METHODS A cross-sectional study, using a short answer type paper consisting of eight questions in anatomy was administered randomly to 5th, 6th and 7th year medical ...

UNLABELLED Need for the study: The most important procedure for a successful endodontic treatment is the cleaning and shaping of the canal system. Understanding the internal anatomy of teeth provides valuable information to the clinician that would help him achieve higher clinical success during endodontic therapy. AIMS To evaluate by computed tomography-the internal anatomy of mandibular sec...

Any books that you read, no matter how you got the sentences that have been read from the books, surely they will give you goodness. But, we will show you one of recommendation of the book that you need to read. This cross sectional anatomy tutor an interactive course for anatomy education and evaluation is what we surely mean. We will show you the reasonable reasons why you need to read this b...

Anatomical Atlases are an integral part of basic health sciences education. Recently, there has been an increased importance of sectional anatomy atlases due to the advancements of tomographic and to the difficulties to relate topographic anatomy to the tridimensional anatomy. Computer-based atlases have been increasingly useful for this purpose. Delivery via the Internet and World Wide Web has...

This paper describes the anatomy of the musculature crossing the lumbar spine in a standardized form to provide data generally suitable for static biomechanical analyses of muscle and spinal forces. The muscular anatomy from several sources was quantified and transformed to the mean bony anatomy of four young healthy adults measured from standing stereo-radiographs. The origins, insertions and ...

105 ranging from symptoms to therapy make this guide a useful reference of clinical virology. Before the advent of computed tomograms (CT scans) and magnetic resonance images (MRI), cross-sectional anatomy was the domain primarily of the anatomist. Anatomy, for the medical student, with its altogether unfamiliar and expansive lexicon and complex, linear spatial relationships was sufficient chal...

The anatomy of the left atrioventricular valve, a mitral valve unless there is atrioventricular discordance, was determined by cross sectional echocardiography in 15 young patients with congenital lesions and seven with rheumatic lesions. These results were compared with findings at operation. The preoperative diagnosis was accurate in 18 (80%). In the remaining four patients inaccurate echocar...
