Talking about a Christine Borland sculpture: effective empathy in contemporary anatomy art (and an emerging counterpart in medical training?)
No full textThis Introduction and interview discusses the poetical and empathic insights that are a key to the effectiveness of contemporary artist Christine Borland's practice and its relevance to the medical humanities, visual art research and medical students’ training. It takes place in a context of intensive interest in reciprocity and conversation as well as expert exchange between the fields of Medicine and Contemporary Arts. The interview develops an understanding of medical research and the application of its historical resources and contemporary practice-based research in contemporary art gallery exhibitions. Artists tend not to follow prescriptive programmes towards new historical knowledge, however, a desire to form productive relationships between history and contemporary art practice does reveal practical advantages. Borland's research also includes investigations in anatomy, medical practices and conservatio

The effects of using Renzulli Learning on student achievement and student motivation
No full textRenzulli Learning is an online educational learning system designed to create a profile of students\u27 interests, learning styles, and expression styles and match them with a vast array of enrichment resources, outlets for creative productivity, and high-end learning activities and projects designed to enhance students\u27 engagement and learning. Only one previous research study has been conducted to investigate the effects of the use of Renzulli Learning on student achievement. ^ This study further investigated the effectiveness of enrichment teaching delivered through this online program. This mixed methods study quantitatively examined the effect of using Renzulli Learning on student achievement in the areas of reading comprehension, science, and social studies, as measured by the subtests of the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills. Additionally, differences in teachers\u27 perceptions of students\u27 motivation as measured by the Scales for Rating the Behavioral Characteristics of Superior Students-Revised Motivation scale were quantitatively examined. Classes of students in grades 3–6 from 4 schools were randomly assigned to use Renzulli Learning for a period of 16 weeks. A total of 23 classes (11 treatment and 12 control) with 168 students in the treatment and 186 students in the control were included in the study. Students in the treatment group were compared to students in control classrooms who had not yet had access to Renzulli Learning. Qualitative observations were also conducted as a fidelity measure and to determine how teachers implemented Renzulli Learning. ^ A repeated measures analysis of variance was used to explore differences between treatment and control conditions. A qualitative examination of the integration of technology from the perspective of teachers, students, and purpose and use of Renzulli Learning indicated that despite students\u27 enthusiasm, access to computers and the pressure to prepare for state assessments prevented teachers from fully integrating technology into their current practices. After 16 weeks, students who had access to Renzulli Learning exhibited significantly higher growth in social studies achievement (p = .023) than students in the control group. No differences between groups were found in reading comprehension, science, or teachers\u27 perception of students\u27 motivation. Also, a lack of training in enrichment teaching precluded many teachers from extending students\u27 learning. Greater use of Renzulli Learning resulted from those teachers who utilized it as a tool to support their instruction, particularly in the areas of social studies. Observations of the treatment classes revealed that students had great diversity in the activities that they chose, and it was not uncommon for nearly every student to be working on a different activity.

Botulinum neurotoxin for head and neck disorders/ [edited by] Andrew Blitzer, Brian E. Benson, Diana N. Kirke
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index"Senior author Dr. Andrew Blitzer is an internationally renowned pioneer on the use of botulinum neurotoxin for functional disorders, with unparalleled expertise on this topic. Joined by co-editors Brian Benson and Diana Kirke, with multidisciplinary contributors, Botulinum Neurotoxin for Head and Neck Disorders Second Edition fills a gap in the medical literature. The unique textbook focuses on the use of botulinum neurotoxins for functional disorders of the head and neck, though with some aesthetic indications. The second edition reflects the latest advances and understanding of existing and emerging applications for botulinum neurotoxins, including new treatment paradigms, revised pharmacology, and an updated review of the literature in all chapters. Twenty superbly illustrated chapters cover the management of hyperfunctional, pain, and hypersecretory syndromes of the head and neck. Hyperfunctional motor disorders are discussed in chapters focused on blepharospasm, facial dystonia, Meige syndrome, oromandibular dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia (laryngeal dystonia), and cervical dystonia. Specific treatment approaches for pain are addressed in chapters on migraine and chronic daily tension headaches, temporomandibular disorders, and trigeminal neuralgia. The treatment of autonomic nervous system disorders is covered in chapters dedicated to Frey syndrome, facial hyperhydrosis, and sialorrhea"--Pharmacology of Botulinum Neurotoxins / Muna I.
