Background: An insight of human anatomy is achieved by imparting knowledge through different models and cadavers. Students experience the reality of the human body through dissection. The present study is conducted to know the perception and importance of cadaveric dissection among students in learning anatomy. Methodology: A total of 115 students participated in this study. A closed-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from the 1styear Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery students in the International Medical School, Management and Science University, Shah Alam, Malaysia. A descriptive analysis was performed to determine the mean, frequency, and variance. The percentages of the calculated variable were measured by ANOVA, and the significance level is compared with Fisher's test. The analysis of the collected data was performed using SPSS version 23 with a statistical significance of P

Background: Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive, versatile, and safe neuromodulation technology under investigation for the treatment of neuropsychiatric disorders, adjunct to rehabilitation, and cognitive enhancement in healthy adults. Despite promising results, there is variability in responsiveness. One potential source of variability is the intensity of current delivered to the brain which is a function of both the operator controlled tDCS dose (electrode montage and total applied current) and subject specific anatomy. We are interested in both the scale of this variability across anatomical typical adults and methods to normalize inter-individual variation by customizing tDCS dose. Computational FEM simulations are a standard technique to predict brain current flow during tDCS and can be based on subject specific anatomical MRI.
Results: Conventional pad stimulation led to diffuse modulation with maximum current flow between the pads across all subjects. There was high current flow directly under the pad for one subject while the location of peak induced cortical current flow was variable. The High-Definition tDCS montage led to current flow restricted to within the ring perimeter across all subjects. The current flow profile across all subjects and montages was influenced by details in cortical gyri/sulci.

The incidence of knee pain is increasing due to the rising prevalence of obesity, sedentary lifestyles, and aging baby boomer population in the United States. Both acute and chronic knee conditions can result in the increased utilization of pain medications and a decreased quality of life. A multimodal approach to knee pain management can thus greatly benefit the patient population and decrease the burden of knee conditions on the healthcare system. This article presents the epidemiology, clinically relevant anatomy, physiology and major risk factors associated with common knee pain conditions. An overview of etiologies is presented in terms of major clinical presentation, diagnostic testing, and treatments. Practical guidelines for an osteopathic approach to the examination and diagnosis of knee pain are then discussed, with a focus on the osteopathic structural exam and the use of special tests to discern and localize soft tissue injury. A novel diagnostic algorithm summarizing a step-by-step approach to a patient with knee pain is also presented. This method integrates the physical exam, special tests, lab work, and imaging to formulate an evidence-based protocol for formulating a knee pain diagnosis. Finally, the article presents management strategies for common causes of knee pain including conservative, pharmacologic, manipulative, and alternative/complementary treatments. Evidence-based recommendations for manipulation efficacy are reviewed from meta-analysis data, randomized controlled trials, and a case report. The article also provides a description of commonly used manipulation techniques and their indications with respect to the anatomic location of knee pain and its underlying etiology.

Phylogenetic position of Vasuki indicus gen. et sp. nov. IITR/VPL/SB 3102 in 50% majority-rule tree of Analysis 1. Clade comprising Vasuki indicus highlighted in pink. Numbers above and below nodes indicate the frequency a clade is represented in the most parsimonious trees and Bremer support values, respectively.

The analyses presented here recovered a monophyletic Madtsoiidae with the clade placed within crown Serpentes in Analysis 1 (Fig. 4, Supplementary Fig. 3). This is in accordance with most phylogenetic studies which assessed the relationship of snake total group within Squamata30,33,34,35. Furthermore, similar to Zaher et al.30, the tree topology in Analysis 1 recovered Sanajeh, Diniliysia, Najash stemward of crown Serpentes. Although the clade Madtsoiidae remains poorly resolved in Analysis 1, we found a combination of five synapomorphies supporting the placement of Vasuki within Madtsoiidae [centrum broad and subtriangular (ch 613); deep V-shaped embayment along posterior margin of neural arch (ch 614); presence of well-developed paracotylar foramina (ch 615); absence of prezygapophyseal accessory process (ch 616); presence of parazygantral foramina (ch 617)].
