¶ … Ultrasound in Teaching Medical Students
During medical courses, teaching of anatomy and physiology largely depends on lectures, course books and the dissection of corpses. Ultrasonography is more often than not used in clinical practice and an accumulating number of doctors are taught on its daily use. Contemporary ultrasound machines are less burdensome and more user friendly in comparison to older ones. The main goal of the study encompassed evaluating the viability of conveying an ultrasound-based course to undergraduates and to discover the perceptions of the students as well as those of teachers in this auspicious teaching modality (Hammoudi et al., 2013). In particular, the authors within the article undertake a feasibility analysis as to whether an ultrasound-based course can easily and effectively be incorporated into the normal medical teaching programme for the undergraduate students or not. This was done by obtaining feedback from the students as well as the teachers. It was largely purposed to increase the level of understanding and comprehension of cardiac anatomy and physiology for medical students at the undergraduate level.
The old debate as regards the approaches of learning anatomy, together with the preservation of cadaver dissection as a contemporary method, is still taking place....
With the advancement of technology and introduction of computer and virtual models as well as simulation, plenty of changes have been instigated. In comparison to virtuously virtual dissection, the ultrasound method permits the efficacious visualization of huge anatomical structures, and makes it possible for medical students to handle the transducer in a manner through which they grip the scalpel and the anatomical pincers (Mircea et al., 2013). An ultrasound-based teaching course was executed and recommended to all medical students in their second year of study subsequent to all the standard units at the facility. Following a transitory theoretic and real-world demonstration, students were permitted to take the enquiry and use the ultrasound machine. Students and teachers were requested to finish a survey and were given the chance to deliver open feedback (Hammoudi et al., 2013).
The article outlines the research study that employed ultrasound in teaching undergraduate students about cardiac anatomy and physiology. Outcomes of the study have indicated that 98% of the students who participated in the research study mentioned that they relished the course and 74% of the students came to the conclusion that the course enhanced their level of understanding of cardiac physiology. However, there is less in literature…

The kidneys of someone that has chronic renal failure are generally smaller than average kidneys, with some notable and important exceptions (Rogers, 2004). Two of these exceptions would be polycystic kidney disease and diabetic nephropathy (Rogers, 2004). Another diagnostic tool that is used, that of the study of the serum creatinine levels, can not only diagnose chronic renal failure, but also help to distinguish it from acute renal failure,

So, in those regards the curriculum is slowly catching up with the times. Personally, I would like to see additions such as a playing of the movie, "The Business of Being Born" at one of the sessions or as homework. The second way that the curriculum should change within the next three years is to begin allowing more nurses to become certified teachers. Currently, it is easier for a parent
This data would entail two components, a survey completed by the nurses during the course, which asks for input as to whether anything in the curriculum seems outdated. The second component would be an annual audit and fact-check. Finally, the third component would be verifying how the curriculum falls in line with the hospital's master plan. Should the hospital change its overall strategies, those changes should be reflected in
Cardio-vascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and leads the statistics for emergency room (ER) cases. This literature review combines two primary causative agents in CVD: (1) Stress in the workplace, and (2) Middle Age. This review will explore one of the key reasons why the harmful ramifications of stress and middle age can be nullified or, at least, reduced -- through physical activity and exercise. Job stress is
