Application of 3D‐Slicer combined with 3D printing technology in training neurosurgery resident physicians' imaging spatial cognition and clinical reasoning: A self‐controlled before‐ and after‐study

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neurosurgical residency training requires advanced spatial cognition and 3D anatomical understanding, which traditional methods often fail to adequately develop. This study evaluated a novel educational model integrating 3D Slicer and 3D printing technology to enhance imaging spatial cognition and clinical reasoning among neurosurgery ...

Undergraduate health professional students’ perceptions of neuroanatomy: A cross‐sectional study

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy is a foundational component of undergraduate education for health professionals, including students in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech‐language pathology. Negative perceptions of neuroanatomy and the phenomenon of neurophobia have been reported in healthcare education, yet limited data exist for rehabilitation ...

Normative Data for The Dimensions and Volume of Pituitary Gland in The General Population Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging Under a Tertiary Care Center: An Observational Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association
Introduction: The pituitary gland is a pivotal neuroendocrine organ responsible for regulating essential physiological functions. Normative data on its dimensions and volume are crucial for identifying pathological changes in clinical settings. However,

Designing and evaluating a neuroanatomy learning experience using multiple external representations

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Neuroanatomy is challenging, requiring multiple external representations (MER) for comprehension. While studies have examined individual representations of neuroanatomy, a gap remains in understanding how students link across MER, especially between technology‐generated representations with everyday experiences.

Transcriptional profiling and pathway analysis reveal differences in pituitary gland function, morphology, and vascularization in chickens genetically selected for high or low body weight

BMC Genomics, 2019
Background Though intensive genetic selection has led to extraordinary advances in growth rate and feed efficiency in production of meat-type chickens, endocrine processes controlling these traits are still poorly understood. The anterior pituitary gland

Monitoring pharmacodynamic and molecular drug targets in liquid biopsy: Exploratory study in liver cancer with modelling of EGFR Receptor engagement

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aim Liquid biopsy is minimally invasive (compared with tissue biopsy) and has previously been used to generate systems data regarding drug elimination via hepatic enzymes and transporters. This study extends quantitative assessment of systems parameters in liquid biopsy to pharmacodynamic (PD) and disease markers relevant to cancer development

Association of Pituitary Gland Volume in Adults with Body Mass Index: A Cross-sectional Study [PDF]

International Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery
Introduction: The pituitary gland is central to endocrine regulation influencing growth, metabolism, and reproduction. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provides a reliable non-invasive method for assessing pituitary morphology.

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Pituitary Apoplexy May Be Mistaken for Temporal Arteritis

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2019
Pituitary apoplexy is a rare endocrine emergency, characterized by a sudden increase in pituitary gland volume secondary to acute ischaemic infarction or haemorrhage of the pituitary gland, usually in the presence of a pituitary adenoma.

How developmental stressors affect mitochondrial respiratory function: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental conditions organisms experience during early development can have powerful and sustained effects on morphology, physiology, behaviour, and performance. Such developmental effects can influence reproductive success, survival, and life‐history strategies and can be transmitted across generations (i.e.
