Prevalence of wormian bones worldwide: a critical review
Full text linkWormian bones (WB) are the irregular bone structures developed from additional centers of ossification. Although they are commonly found in healthy individuals, under certain conditions (number >10, mosaic pattern, large size), they can indicate pathology. While their coexistence with numerous diseases is well-documented, and various studies have reported their prevalence in populations of various geographic regions, no qualitative critical review of such studies has been conducted. The aim of this paper is to perform a critical review of research studies on the presence of Wormian bones in populations worldwide, with a particular emphasis on the methodology used and the selection of the samples studied.A sample of 44 original research articles was selected via PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Four criteria were assessed: 1) number of individuals in each group, 2) known sex of individuals, 3) selection criteria of individuals, and 4) implementation of the statistical analysis. The origin of the research sample was determined as well as the method of the WB calculation, and data on the WB prevalence worldwide was collected in tabular form.The reported size of the research samples varies from 22 to 628 individuals, derived from both contemporary and archaeological populations. Four major formulas were used in order to provide the frequency of WB. The sex of individuals was known in 18 (40.9%) articles. Most of the articles focused on Asian samples.The difficulties in comparing data on the Wormian bones are caused by considerable inconsistency in the methodology used to research this phenomenon. Therefore, the interpopulation comparisons currently made may not be correctly estimated. Our study highlights the need for using more comprehensive and consistent data collection as well as processing protocol suitable for populational research on sutural bones

Human anatomical dissection takes a compulsory break during Covid-19 pandemic
No full textThe outbreak of the coronavirus effects on people’s daily lives. Like nothing most people have experienced before. One of the many affected sectors is education In response to Covid-19 pandemic, medical education faculty have quickly transitioned the curriculum to online formats. But no matter the quality of the online resource, do not provide the same level of understanding of complex anatomical relationships as studying human bodies. Under restriction of social isolation because of Covid-19 pandemic, human anatomical dissection takes a compulsory break. Afterward students will come back to their essential training in dissection room
La Evolución en los Estudios Anatómicos en Venezuela durante el Siglo XIX
No full textFor Venezuela, the 19th century represented a time of socio-economic and political reforms, complicated by wars and revolutions. Under these circumstances, the growth of economic activity was slow and inconsistent. The living standards of the population were barely above subsistence level, with a persistent deficit in educational spending. In adverse circumstances, the reform in anatomical studies in Venezuela during the 19th century developed largely due to the constant work of a group of perseverant Venezuelan anatomists. Among them, José María Vargas, reformer of medical studies, who wrote in 1838 "Curso de Lecciones y demostraciones Anatómicas", the first book on this subject printed in Venezuela.Para Venezuela el siglo XIX representó una época de reformas socio-económicas y políticas, complicadas en guerras y revoluciones. En esta circunstancia, el crecimiento de la actividad económica fue lento e inconstante. Los estándares de vida de la población apenas superaron el nivel de subsistencia, con un déficit persistente en el gasto educativo. En circunstancias adversas, la reforma en los estudios anatómicos en Venezuela durante el siglo XIX, se desarrolló en buena parte a la constante labor de un conjunto de perseverantes anatomistas venezolanos. Entre ellos destaca José María Vargas, reformador de los estudios médicos, quien escribió en 1838 Curso de Lecciones y demostraciones Anatómicas, el primer libro en esta materia impreso en Venezuela
Anatomical studies at Universidad Central de Venezuela during 1763-1963
No full textIn Venezuela, Medical studies began in 1763 at Real and Pontifical University of Caracas, conducted by Lorenzo Campins y Ballester. Afterward, José María Vargas, as the first rector of the successive University of Caracas, 1827 reformed the studies of Medicine, Surgery, and Anatomy. He gave lectures and performed anatomical dissections for 25 years. Vargas wrote Curso de Lecciones y demostraciones Anatómicas in 1838. Even under precarious conditions for medical education, a saga of anatomists managed to persist in anatomical studies in Venezuela. In the 20th century, a progressive development in anatomical studies began, led by Luis Razetti and extended by José Izquierdo. Subsequently, these improvements were promoted and developed in both medical schools of the Central University of Venezuela by Jesús Yerena, founder of the Anatomical Museum, and by Francisco Montbrun, founder of “José María Vargas” Medical School and its chair of human anatomy
Términos anatómicos en la lengua amerindia venezolana E'ñepa
No full textSince less than 5000 persons speak the E’ñepa language, it is rare known. Consequently, even a basic knowledge of 113 anatomical terms assembled in this research still with a rough pronunciation of the terms can be useful for communicating with the E’ñepa. The sole purpose of this search was to gather anatomical terms for use in communicating with the E’ñepa.Dado que menos de 5.000 personas hablan la lengua E'ñepa, ésta es poco conocida. Por lo tanto, incluso un conocimiento básico de 113 términos anatómicos reunidos en esta investigación aún con una pronunciación aproximada de los términos puede ser útil para comunicarse con los E'ñepa. El único propósito de esta investigación fue reunir términos anatómicos para utilizarlos en la comunicación con los E'ñepa
