RESUMO
Background: Computer aided teaching (CAT) became popular in medical education but there is debate among the teachers regarding application of computer in a large group lecture class. Aim of the study: The present study was aimed to find out the acceptance and use of CAT in a conventional large group lecture class along with black board assistance. Material and methods: CAT was conducted in a large group lecture class of embryology. Related lined diagrams were drawn on the blackboard in front of the students. Students were given a Likert’s type three response closed end questionnaire to express their opinion at the end of the concerned system of embryology. Result: Ninety-nine percent of the students expressed that the teacher should guide them on how to draw a lined diagram. Ninety-nine percent mentioned that emphasis should be given on the applied aspect of the topic. Ninety-six percent of students’ opinions were that at the end of each lecture, summary should be either given as a hand out or be allowed to take notes. Ninety-three percentage of the students mentioned that computer aided teaching is beneficial, 86% expressed that hybrid approach of teaching, provoked further study of embryology, 91% mentioned that the teacher should inform which books to be used as reference for further studies. Conclusion: The study result suggests that CAT is applicable in a large group lecture class. It is better to adopt hybrid approach of teaching for equal involvement of teacher and students. It is necessary to the inform students regarding the importance of concerned topics and expert teacher give the students proper guidance.
RESUMO
As variações anatômicas das artérias hepáticas são comuns. A identificação pré-operatória dessas variações é importante para prevenir lesão inadvertida e complicações potencialmente letais durante procedimentos abertos e endovasculares. Objetivo: Avaliar a incidência, o trajeto extra-hepático e a presença de ramos laterais das artérias hepáticas acessórias definidas como um suprimento arterial adicional para o fígado na presença de artéria hepática normal. Métodos: Oitenta e quatro cadáveres humanos masculinos foram dissecados através de laparotomia mediana transperitoneal. A aorta supracelíaca, o eixo celíaco e as artérias hepáticas foram dissecados, e suas trajetórias foram identificadas para descrever os padrões dos ramos arteriais...
Anatomic variations of the hepatic arteries are common. Preoperative identification of these variations is important to prevent inadvertent injury and potentially lethal complications during open and endovascular procedures. Objective: To evaluate the incidence, extra-hepatic course, and presence of side branches of accessory hepatic arteries, defined as an additional arterial supply to the liver in the presence of normal hepatic artery. Methods: Eighty-four human male cadavers were dissected using a transperitoneal midline laparotomy. The supra-celiac aorta, celiac axis, and hepatic arteries were dissected, and their trajectories were identified to describe arterial branching...
