  • Rethinking sciatica in view of a bilateral anatomical variation of the sciatic nerve, with low origin and high division: Historical, anatomical and clinical approach

    Acta Medica Portuguesa, 2018
    Introdução: O objectivo do presente estudo é o relato de um caso de variação anatómica do nervo isquiático, por origem baixa e divisão alta bilateral.Material e Métodos: Foi dissecado um cadáver feminino de 66 anos, conservado pelas técnicas originais desenvolvidas no nosso departamento.Resultados: No trabalho regular de dissecção cadavérica da disciplina de Anatomia Regional II detectou-se nervo isquiático, em ambos os membros, com pequeno trajecto, de aproximadamente, 8 - 10 cm, dividido em nervos fibular comum e tibial, ao nível da margem inferior do músculo glúteo máximo.Discussão: Casos semelhantes aos do presente estudo, foram descritos por alguns autores desde Leonardo da Vinci, Da Cortona, ou Eustachius, demonstrando a importância desse conhecimento, tanto em termos clínicos, como cirúrgicos ou anestesiológicos. Diversas ilações são possíveis, por revisão do presente caso, infrequente.Conclusão: Para além de proporcionar conhecimento prévio da anatomia loco-regional, o estudo das variações do nervo isquiático orienta o melhor seguimento de patologias, bem como acessos cirúrgicos e/ou anestésicos. Por mais meticulosos que sejam os nossos estudos anatómicos, jamais poderemos considerar terminada ou definitiva a investigação em anatomia humana.
  • Are corpses the best method for practical anatomy assessment, according to health course students?

    Journal of Morphological Sciences, 2018
    The aim of this study was to evaluate the student's conception in reference to the teaching materials used for the practical assessment of the discipline of Human Anatomy. The study was quantitative and qualitative, exploratory and descriptive. The materials were industrialized synthetic anatomical models, models made of inexpensive material by students, human cadaveric material, photocopied images and software. The study included 97 students, who after analysis indicated cadaveric materials (35%) as the best educational tool to be applied for the practical assessments of Anatomy. The photocopied images (3%) were the material with which the students presented greater difficulty. The content analysis of the discursive questions showed 5 factors in learning Human Anatomy: little time per table; difficulty in identifying, locating and memorization of anatomical structures; the quality of material used; comparing these materials; and cadaveric material. The study proved to be relevant for the evolution of teaching quality, in addition to the cadaveric material as the best tool to be used in practical assessments of Human Anatomy. We suggest the use of this material the more frequent, in laboratories that have the same materials as analyzed here, because the corpse can never be substituted in teaching and learning of Anatomy.
  • Neuroanatomical structures manufacture: An alternative in the practical teaching of neuroanatomy
    J. Falcão, A. Sandes, B. Rodrigues, I. Nascimento, P. Schwingel, E. Silva Júnior
    Journal of Morphological Sciences, 2016
    Introduction: The neuroanatomy discipline is seen by students as one of the most complex and difficult of the basic cycle in health courses. This is taught with lectures and practical classes, where in the last one, the use is made of corpse parts. However, the use of this type of material has been decreasing making it professors and monitors search for new alternatives. One of these alternatives is the manufacture and the use of neuroanatomical models that assist and facilitate the understanding of practical teaching and learning. The study aims to manufacture neuroanatomical models alternative for the practical Neuroanatomy classes. Materials and Methods: The study is an action research, exploratory, descriptive, where were made neuroanatomical models in the Human Anatomy Laboratory at the University of Pernambuco, Petrolina, with cheap materials in order to improve learning in practical teaching. The confections of these models were made with polystyrene, biscuit dough, string, colored acrylic paint, ink colored oil, rubberized, cardboard and plaster bandages. Results: Were made ten neuroanatomical parts that corresponding to the spinal cord, reticular formation and the dermatomes of the limbs. Conclusion: It was observed that the manufacturing of these models is necessary for conducting practical classes being possible elaborate them with quality at low cost, being an alternative in front of real difficulties in obtaining corpse parts and being a strong tool in the teaching and learning of the Neuroanatomy discipline. But regardless of the alternatives utilized, the confection of models will never replace the use of corpse parts.
  • Cadaveric dissection by students-monitors in human anatomy discipline: Experience report
    G. Moraes, J. Falcão, A. Sandes, B. Rodrigues, I. Nascimento, P. Schwingel, E. Silva Júnior
    Journal of Morphological Sciences, 2016
    Introduction: Monitoring allows students the basic cycle of higher-level courses, principally, a deeper understanding of all content been living in class, in this case, the Human Anatomy classes. Through it the student develops various daily activities at the Human Anatomy Laboratory to that add up to the didactic and pedagogical activities required in this process, like the cadaveric dissection. Dissect derives from the Latin meaning to separate, cut, etymologically being equivalent to anatomy. The present study aimed to report the student-monitor experience the discipline of Human Anatomy in cadaveric dissection. Methods: The study is an experience report of a qualitative approach, with an exploratory descriptive analysis, whose objective was to describe, in the words of Physiotherapy course monitors, the importance in the dissection technique. For this, has been made the reading for each reporting for the identification of the central issues described by each monitor. Results: The reports were obtained in February 2014 soon after the end of the I Course of cadaveric dissection of Upper and Lower Limbs, sponsored by the Human Anatomy Laboratory of the University of Pernambuco, Petrolina, as a process of training to those student-monitors who had been selected for the period between 2014.1 and 2014.2 monitoring. Conclusion: It could be perceived that the cadaveric dissection was seen as a way to strengthen the humanization of future health professionals, which resulted in its ethical and social practice, and it has allowed an improvement in teacher-monitor-student relationship.
