Keeping dissection alive for medical students
Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009AbstractTraditional dissection teaching is being reduced in a number of medical schools, particularly in the United Kingdom. In response to this, 12 medical students from Warwick University, UK, traveled to the Island of Grenada for an intensive extracurricular dissection course at St. George's University.

The Medical Treatment of Dissecting Aortic Aneurysms
New England Journal of Medicine, 1972Abstract Medical treatment of a group of 33 patients with dissecting aortic aneurysms resulted in 17 survivors (52 per cent) with a mean follow-up period of 43 months. In-hospital survival was influenced favorably by the presence of a subacute or chronic dissection (onset of symptoms 14 days or longer before presentation for treatment) although long ...

Attitudes to anatomy dissection in an Irish medical school
Clinical Anatomy, 2009AbstractMany studies around the world have looked at the stresses placed on medical students by cadaveric dissection. Although these studies have linked the use of cadavers in medical teaching to stress, some investigations have suggested an association with severe psychological stress and even post‐traumatic stress disorder.

Acute medical management of aortic dissection
General Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018Acute aortic dissection is a life-threatening disease. Current therapeutic guidelines recommend medical therapy with aggressive blood pressure lowering for patients with acute aortic dissection, when they are not indicated for emergency surgery. In particular, patients with aortic dissection without ascending aorta involvement (Stanford type B) are ...

Dissecting in Silico: Towards a Taxonomy for Medical Simulators
2011In this paper, we investigated several approaches in literature that classify different aspects of medical simulators. We have merged these definitions to form a structured taxonomy. This new taxonomy should facilitate the design of new medical simulators and allow to analyze and classify existing simulators, algorithms, toolkits and hardware.

Effects of cadaver dissection on the attitudes of medical students
Medical Education, 1994Summary: Summary. A study was conducted to determine whether the attitudes of medical students to death and caring changed during the 3 months following exposure to cadaver dissection. All first‐year students were invited to complete a questionnaire immediately before their initial cadaver dissection experience,

Aortic dissection: a medical perspective.
Journal of cardiac surgery, 1995Over the past 3 years, a greater understanding of predisposing factors and the pathology of the aortic wall has yielded more insights into the pathogenesis, as well as into more accurate diagnostic and preventive methods. This update will discuss: (1) the incidence, definition, and recent classification of aortic dissection; (2) epidemiology, medical ...
