Radiologically recognising pneumatisation and anatomical variations of the ACP may be helpful in decreasing the incidence of surgical complications during anterior clinoidectomy.

SUMMARY Objective:The data gathered objectively, and the information which is evidence-based is essential in evaluating both the sufficiency and the efficiency of medical education. Especially the feedback of students insights and suggestions is a good guidance for management of medical training. In this context, in the present study, it has been aimed to determine the thoughts and recommendations of 5th-grade Medical Faculty Students about Clinical Anatomy Course (CAC) by using a questionnaire which is consist of 12 questions. Method: A hundred and forty-four student (81 female and 63 male) volunteered to participate the study and took the questionary. Results: While 86.8 % of the students mentioned that it would be more necessary to take Clinical Anatomy Course during Orthopedics Course, 87.5 % of the student showed their preference for Neurosurgery Course. 75.7 % of the students suggested that it would also be beneficial to add CAC into the Eye Diseases and Otorhinolaryngology Practise in addition to those practices mentioned above. While the allotted time for CAC in the Clinical Practice was found sufficient to only 39.6 % of the student, 31.9 % asked for an increase in duration of CAC. According to 71.5 % of the students, the information should be solidified after the theoretical lectures by practices in which bones, manikins, and cadavers are used effectively. Giving attendance is not favored by 50 % of the students, and almost same amount of the participants (51.4 %) thinks the exam at the end of the class or the course is unnecessary. Conclusions: It has been understood from the positive feedback of the students that CAC which is currently taken during Orthopedics and Neurosurgery Courses facilitates the understanding Clinical Practise topics and it increases the overall success of the students in Clinic. While preparing the medical training curriculum, adding the CAC into the clinical training curriculums when needed may help to increase the overall quality of the medical education.

Özellikle öğrencilerin görüş ve önerilerinin alınması tıp eğitiminin yönlendirilmesinde yol gösterici olmaktadır. Bu sebeple, çalışmamızda oniki sorudan oluşan anket formu uygulanarak, C.Ü. tıp fakültesi beşinci sınıf öğrencilerinin klinik anatomi dersi hakkındaki düşünceleri ve önerilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya anket sorularını cevaplamayı kabul eden 81'i kadın, 63'ü erkek 144 gönüllü öğrenci dahil edildi. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin % 86.8'i ortopedi, % 87.5'i beyin cerrahi stajları içerisinde verilmekte olan klinik anatomi dersinin gerekli olduğunu düşünürken, %75.7'si bu stajlara ek olarak özellikle göz ve KBB stajları içerisinde de klinik anatomi dersinin faydalı olacağını belirtmiştir. Stajlar içerisinde klinik anatomi dersi için ayrılan süreyi öğrencilerin % 39.6'sı yeterli bulurken, %31.9'u ders saatlerinin ar...

In this case, two different rare variant veins were encountered and clinical significance and nomenclature were studied. During the dissection of a 45-year-old female cadaver, two different coursed variant veins on both popliteal fossae were encountered. Variant veins both originated from anastomosis with the popliteal vein on both sides. The right variant vein course was above the adductor magnus muscle. Then, it was arced to the anterior thigh for terminating to the femoral vein between adductor magnus and minimus muscles. Its length was 25.25 cm, and it had a single well-developed valve. The left variant vein coursed between the biceps femoris and semimembranosus muscles and terminated to the inferior gluteal vein at the lower border of the gluteus maximus muscle. Its length was 17.5 cm, and it had two well-developed valves, which were located 8.4 cm and the second 13.9 cm away from its beginning. Variant veins considered as a complete type of persistent vein and axial truncus + femoral vein on the right and left sides, respectively. The variant veins and similar venous variations encountered in this case should be considered by clinicians due to be in related to pulmonary embolism. Also, it might be kept in mind to avoid misinterpretation of the deep venous thrombosis.

SUMMARY Objective:The most important element in providing good quality of healthcare is well training of healthcare staff, particularly doctors. The way of being a good and successful healthcare staff is to learn the human anatomy accurately and permanently. Practical applications as well as theoretical courses are also highly important in learning human anatomy. In classical anatomy education, using cadaver is accepted to be indispensable. However, along with the new medical faculties, there has been an increase in the shortage of cadaver, and anatomy practices have mainly begun to be carried out on models or mock-ups. Therefore, we aimed to study with anatomic models in practical applications and to research the effect of cadaver dissection on learning anatomy. Method:In this study including 120-second grade students that their achievement levels are close together and participating in the theoretical courses of anatomy in medical faculty during 2015 -2016 academic year. To realize this, students were divided into four groups (1 st group were include students only listening to theoretical course, 2 nd group theoretical course and performing application with anatomic models, 3 rd group theoretical course and performing application with cadaver dissection, and 4 th group theoretical course and performing application with anatomic models and cadaver dissection) of 30 people. Degree of students' understanding the subject was detected with written and practical exams consists of 10 questions after the theoretical and practical courses on each committee. The resulting data are loaded to SPSS 22.0 software and statistical evaluation One-way ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, chisquare test was used. Results:The average of students who practice on both models and cadavers were statistically significant (p<0.05) higher than others in the course committee of the circulatory system. The average point of the students in Group III and IV were statistically significant higher than the other two groups (p <0.05), in the course committee of sensory and nervous systems. Although the average scores of males were lower than females this difference was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). 241 CMJ Cumhuriyet Medical Journal Conclusions:The results obtained from our study indicate that anatomy practical training is carried out with the dissection of cadavers that made it easier to understand of the anatomy and increasing success rate. The results obtained from the study give information about the effectiveness of existing applications in anatomy practice and be a guide for educators in planning class hours and including or excluding new topics and subjects from curriculum.
