Prevalence of Cam Femoroacetabular Lesions in Medieval (1200‐1600 CE) and Postmedieval (1600‐1850 CE) Dutch Skeletal Collections

Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate medieval and postmedieval Dutch skeletal collections for signs of cam impingent. Methods The medieval collections from Alkmaar Paardenmarkt and Klaaskinderkerke and the postmedieval period from Middenbeemster were studied. Standard osteological methods for sex and age estimation were used. From digital photographs of the femora, the

Beyond Kahoot! Reflections and guidelines from a serial gamifying educator on when and how to effectively use games and game elements in anatomical education

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract According to Nietzsche, “In every real [adult], a child is hidden that wants to play.” In everyday life, playfulness and competition can make routine or dull tasks more engaging and can offer educators opportunities to engage a learner in a more entertaining or interactive manner.

Moving beyond neurophobia to cultivate the neuroquisitive learner

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract “Neurophobia,” a pervasive fear of the neurological sciences, poses a significant barrier in medical education, affecting learners and physicians worldwide. Its consequences are far‐reaching, contributing to a limited neurology workforce and diminished confidence among non‐specialists in managing neurological conditions.

Opposing consensus science through scholarly practices: The role of claims maintenance

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines how three US‐based communities who oppose consensus science produce and disseminate scholarly‐like artifacts: pro‐life activists, Young Earth Creationists, and Anthropogenic Climate Crisis skeptics. Prior research shows that industry‐ or church‐backed advocacy campaigns often generate claims supported by these communities ...
