Spina bifida: A diagnostic dilemma in paleopathology
Authors: Kumar A. , Tubbs R. Shane 
Published: October 2010

AbstractThis article provides information regarding the etiology, pathogenesis, and skeletal manifestation of spina bifida or spinal dysraphisms. On the basis of a review of the medical literature, it addresses discrepancies in documentation and interpretation of spina bifida in paleopathology. Furthermore, it offers suggestions for use of universal terminology and highlights the difficulties in the specific diagnosis of dysraphisms in skeletal remains. In addition, the necessity of examining the entire skeleton for abnormalities to distinguish simple delay/failure of fusion of the posterior neural arches from other occult spinal dysraphisms is emphasized, as it is the need for stratification of the sample by age and sex when reporting frequencies of sacral spina bifida occulta.

The relationships between learning outcomes and methods of teaching anatomy as perceived by medical students
Authors: Kerby Jane , Shukur Zena N. , Shalhoub Joseph 
Published: October 2010

AbstractThe best method to teach anatomy continues to be widely debated. Many UK medical schools have recently changed their course structure with the use of cadaveric dissection declining. A recent study by Patel and Moxham ([ 2008] Clin. Anat. 21:182–189) found that professional anatomists viewed dissection to be the most suitable method to fulfil anatomical learning outcomes. The opinion of 580 second year medical students across two UK medical schools was surveyed. A methodology similar to that employed by Patel and Moxham ([ 2008] Clin. Anat. 21:182–189) aimed to explore which teaching methods students considered best to fulfil a prescribed set of anatomical learning outcomes. A total of 302 responses were returned (52%). Difference in students' opinion with regard to the teaching methods was statistically significant (P < 0.0001). A statistically significant agreement was found between the opinions of students from Imperial and Nottingham, and between the anatomists and the students, regarding the effectiveness of all teaching methods at meeting learning outcomes. Dissection was overall most “fit for purpose” in meeting learning outcomes, but no single teaching modality met all aspects of the curriculum. Dissection should remain a leading teaching modality in modern medical school anatomy courses. In addition to its role in the teaching of anatomy, it enables learning in a social context and holds broader learning opportunities to help future doctors best fulfill Good Medical Practice guidelines (General Medical Council, 2006). This, however, should be in the context of a multi‐modal approach to the teaching of anatomy. Clin. Anat. 24:489–497, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
What impact does anatomy education have on clinical practice?
Authors: Smith Claire France , Mathias Haydn Socrates 
Published: October 2010

AbstractThere is continuing debate regarding doctors' knowledge of anatomy as an appropriate preparation for professional practice. This exploratory case study examined alumni's experiences of learning anatomy. The aim was to inform curriculum development and to gain a better understanding of how anatomy knowledge is applied in practice. A total of 140 medical student alumni from the University of Southampton participated in this study (49% males, 51% females). Participants completed a Likert scale questionnaire with free comment sections. Descriptive results found that: using cadaveric material was an effective way of learning anatomy; assessment was a major motivator; and around half of students forgot a lot of anatomy but that knowledge came back easily. Statistical analysis revealed associations between certain positive and negative factors in learning. Links were also seen with current job role, revealing that those who responded to positive factors were involved in careers which involved a great deal of anatomy and vice versa. To facilitate learning, anatomy should be taught throughout the curriculum and use human cadavers. Relating knowledge to practice requires transformation of knowledge and is best facilitated by the learning being situated in clinical contexts. Clin. Anat. 24:113–119, 2011. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
The ratio of contrast volume to glomerular filtration rate predicts outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention for ST‐segment elevation acute myocardial infarction

Published: October 2010

AbstractObjective: To assess the value of the ratio between contrast medium volume and glomerular filtration rate (CMGFRr) for prediction of development of contrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) and mortality in patients with ST‐segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background: Renal function is a strong predictor of outcome in patients with STEMI. CIN may complicate the course of primary PCI in these patients. Methods: The study population included all 871 consecutive patients with STEMI without cardiogenic shock who underwent primary PCI at our center from January 1, 2001, to October 30, 2006. CIN was defined as an absolute increase in serum creatinine > 0.5 mg/dL or a relative increase >25% within 48 hr after PCI. Results: In‐hospital CIN developed in 72 (8.3%) patients. On linear regression analysis, the following variables were independently associated with CIN: male sex (odds ratio [OR] = 0.42, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.18–0.97, P = 0.04), GFR < 60 (OR = 3.6, 95% CI, 2.79–4.78, P < 0.0001), multivessel coronary artery disease (OR = 1.67, 95% CI, 1.08–2.58, P = 0.02), CMGFRr (OR = 1.53, 95% CI, 1.01–2.31, P = 0.04, for upper tertile vs. lower two tertiles), and Killip class > 1 (OR = 1.35, 95% CI, 1.03–1.76, P = 0.03). CMGFRr > 3.7 was a strong independent predictor of CIN (OR = 3.87, 95% CI, 1.72–8.68, P = 0.001). Twenty‐six (2.9%) patients died at 1 month after PCI. The following variables were independently predictive of 1‐month mortality: CMGFRr > 3.7 (OR = 3.3, 95% CI, 1.22–9.04, P = 0.018) and multivessel coronary artery disease (OR = 2.3, 95% CI, 1.28–4.07, P = 0.005). Conclusion: The contrast medium‐to‐GFR ratio is a strong predictor of CIN and of 1‐month mortality in patients undergoing primary PCI for STEMI. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
