preaching about. He was to get into some trouble by pointing out discrepancies between religious doctrine and natural law, but he never backed down. His inquisitive mind lead him not only to dissect cadavers in order to gain a greater knowledge of anatomy, but to replace the muscles in those cadavers with strings, the better to observe their…

and doctors were much higher than those delivered by midwives. He noticed that the medical students were coming in contact with cadavers and then delivering babies afterwards. However, the midwives were delivering babies without cadaver contact, so the mortality rates were low. So Semmelweis created an experiment where physicians washed their hands after working on cadavers and then delivering babies. As they started putting more emphasis on their hygiene along with the washing of surgical…

scanner. Though the payoff is extraordinary, facilities would need a great amount of funding before the installation of a CT scanner takes place. Post mortem CT scanning is limited by the absence of intravenous contrast techniques to the study as the cadaver lacks the circulation needed to highlight vascular structures. Lastly, a limitation in the involvement of x-rays in forensic sciences is the possibility of a victim never receiving an x-ray examination in one’s lifetime, resulting in the…

relative that matches in tissue type the success rate of transplantation is 90%. If the tissue match is less close, even from a close relative the success rate is way less, like the same odds as for a poorly matched cadaver kidney. The probability of getting a good match from a cadaver is also less than from a close relative. The patient has her parents and 2 older siblings who undergo tissue typing to check if they are a tissue match. The results showed that the father is an excellent match,…

In an internal survey, 80% of cardiothoracic surgeons felt that special training is required and only 7% reported that they regularly practice emergency thoracotomy in arrest. We plan to develop an emergency thoracotomy…

of San Francisco, and shortly thereafter became a teaching assistant for my Anatomy professor. In these settings, I was utilized the PBL approach where my scientific knowledge had greatly expanded. I facilitated group demonstrations of the human cadaver, tutored students in and out of class, and made anatomy relatable and understanding to my peers. I developed leadership skills as I assumed more responsibility, and applied all the knowledge I learned from lab to various clinical settings…
