Cadaver

Transitioning into adulthood is hard for any gender but it was especially difficult during the 1950s, a socially conservative time. As a woman in the 1950s, transitioning to adulthood was difficult and for Esther it was nearly impossible. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar provides the opportunity to view a young woman's journey into early adulthood during a period where gender roles, double standards, and social norms severely restricted the options and opportunities available to women. Further, when…

cautioned myself on that notion. It is often said “After joy is sorrow” and I needed to be on the lookout for anything that might become sorrowful to me. Got into work and set to my tasks and one of the tasks which I dreaded doing was cleaning the cadavers…

The many different subjects I have learned as part of the medical academy constantly interest me. I enjoy the thought of working on human cadavers. I am excited by the simple task of taking the pulse of another person. I am interested in the different stains that are performed on different types of cells to examine them. But what interests me the most, is the subject of Sports Medicine…

Medical simulation in the past According to any dictionary, simulation is defined as the representation of a process or a system. As far as medical simulation is concerned, it was utilized even in ancient times as it is revealed by the discovery of human figures made of stone and clay which are dated back to Antiquity and illustrate the clinical characteristics of some diseases. In the 17th century, legislation permitted the performance of necrotomies in order for medical students and doctors…

with an interest towards human sciences. It was after the results of my medical entrance examination, I chose to join a dental school. The first year of my freshmen year at the dental school was exciting. I had exercises on how to wax teeth, dissect cadavers, examine slides, and patient X-rays. I was pretty healthy and had no health issues. I also had exercises on how to make a perfect mix of the dental materials before using them on a patient’s tooth. Around the time I was exposed to those…

happened as the night of the “double event” made it too risky to commit another crime. But on the 9th November 1888, the last victim of Jack The Ripper is Mary Jane Kelly whose body was found in her room. The skinned to the bone remains of Mary Kelly’s cadaver lay on the bed, whilst lumps of bloody flesh had been piled onto the bedside…

Biomedical Ethics requires respect for an individual. How we address respect is through a number of principles; one of which is the principle of autonomy. The principle of autonomy is “we owe others respect for their autonomy and that showing such respect may be as important or even more important than producing benefits for others.” (Fry, S. T., Veatch, R. M., & Taylor, C., 2011, p. 150). A perfect example is demonstrated in Case 16-2 in which an attending physician is teaching intubation…

goals while on my journey to become a medical doctor. This decision is further supported by the work that I conduct in Dr. Cato Laurencin’s laboratory. The internal thrill that pushes through each stroke of my scalpel blade during tissue isolation on cadaver rats makes me know that even though I am starting with animals, I am destined to become a surgeon. The clinical translation aspect of my research further motivates me to consistently put my best foot forward each day that I step inside of…

In Bonk, Roach interviews specialists and people in the fields to gain a more personal perspective on the topic. In her other books she goes from looking into the history of cadaver research like she does in, Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, to questioning what it really takes to be an astronaut in, Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void. Without any formal scientific education, Roach approaches scientific topics from the view of…

the popliteus resulted from the self-reduction of the knee. The MRI indicated a substantial posterolateral corner injury, which is atypical because posterolateral damage is often unnoticed via MRI. The repair graft of the LCL was unique in that a cadaver posterior tibial tendon was chosen over a hamstring tendon or autograph. Conclusion: Overall the case presented atypical of a knee…
