3D printing: a valuable resource in human anatomy education
Anatomy is essential to the health and medical professions:
by learning anatomy, medical students learn about the
structure of the human body, providing them with the basic
tools needed for understanding pathology and clinical
problems.
In the past century, dissection and lectures formed the
basis of anatomy education worldwide. More recently,
traditional anatomy education based on topographical
structural anatomy taught in lectures and in gross dissection
classes, has been replaced by a multiple range of study
modules, including problem-based learning, plastic models
and/or computer-assisted learning and curricula integration

Teaching anatomy in the XXI century: new aspects and pitfalls
Anatomy has historically been a cornerstone in medical education regardless of nation, racial background, or medical school system. By learning gross anatomy, medical students get a first “impression” about the structure of the human body which is the basis for understanding pathologic and clinical problems. Although the importance of teaching anatomy to both undergraduate and postgraduate students remains undisputed, there is currently a relevant debate concerning methods of anatomy teaching. In the past century, dissection and lectures were its sole pedagogy worldwide. Recently, the time allocated for anatomy teaching was dramatically reduced to such an extent that some suggest that it has fallen below an adequate standard. Traditional anatomy education based on topographical structural anatomy taught in lectures and gross dissection classes has been replaced by a multiple range of study modules, including problem-based learning, plastic models or computer-assisted learning, and curricula integration. “Does the anatomical theatre still have a place in medical education?” And “what is the problem with anatomic specimens?” We endeavor to answer both of these questions and to contribute to the debate on the current situation in undergraduate and graduate anatomy education
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

A further methodologic comment on Recalcati et al's response on the “skull with petrified ears” on the necessity of evidence-based anthropologic studies
We would like to thank Recalcati et al for their response by stressing that we very much welcome the contributions to anthropology and paleopathology that may arise from the field of clinical medicine, including dermatology. It is not our intention to promote a separation between areas of knowledge (suffice it to say that one of us, F.M.G., is a physician by training); on the contrary, we wish to promote the integration of different approaches toward the establishment of a problem-solving strategy capable of identifying diseases in the past
