“…In other studies, video creation helped students improve cross-curricular competencies (Orús et al, 2016). In some cases, creating videos had a positive impact on academic development and improved student learning (Ruiz-Tovar et al, 2019;Moreno-Guerrero et al, 2020;Hervas et al, 2020).…”

The purpose of this paper is to analyse barriers that a selected group of professors at the University of Barcelona faced due to the COVID-19 restrictions, their perceptions of the current situation, and the potential for long-term adoption of new teaching methods that emerged from this situation. It remains unclear whether these professors will return to traditional teaching methods as soon as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted, or whether they will adopt digital teaching elements in the future. The group of professors sought technical help during the first weeks of online teaching. This research uses a qualitative approach through a self-administered qualitative survey. We analyse data using open-ended questions about barriers they faced in creating educational content via video. Answers were coded and analysed using thematic analysis with an inductive approach. We identified two overarching themes: educational material delivery and professors and distance teaching. Findings indicate that professors lacked digital skills as well as a lack of knowledge of emergency remote teaching. There were differences in their perceptions of teaching methodologies. The results are discussed in relation to research from other countries about the use of videos for teaching before and during the COVID-19 crisis.

“…The opportunity to practice specific procedures on cadavers in advance will potentially improve patient safety (Sharma et al, 2016). Several foreign institutions offer courses where surgeons practice practical procedures on cadavers (Cabello et al, 2015;Ruiz-Tovar et al, 2019;Desai, 2021;Flynn, 2021).…”

Anatomy skills are considered essential in all aspects of medical practice, and more so now than before with increasing use of diagnostic imaging techniques and advanced surgery. In conjunction with the revision of the medical study curriculum at the University of Oslo in 2014, we investigated Norwegian physicians’ assessment of their own anatomy knowledge and the educational provision of anatomical skills during and after specialization. A total of 902 Norwegian physicians divided into the specialties of general medicine, internal medicine, surgery, neurology and radiology responded to an anonymous survey. As many as 73% of the physicians had at some time point experienced insufficient anatomy knowledge in their own practice, most commonly among surgeons and neurologists. The respondents expressed a need for supplementary educational provision in anatomy during and after specialization, and 36% were unfamiliar with such offers. Notably, dissection courses seemed unavailable during specialization. Our findings demonstrate a requirement for an improved supply of anatomy education during and after specialization. Anatomy courses that combine dissection, radiological images and clinical application would seem desirable.

“…The experiments were started in Thiel embalmed specimens, because these specimens are known for their life-like colour and tissue properties and the embalming chemicals prevent putrefaction, allowing an experimental window of up to several years [80]. The Thiel embalming technique is a soft fix embalming techniques that provides a realistic patient model [81][82][83], especially compared to the stiff specimens that are obtained when using formaldehyde-based embalming techniques in an effort to suspend putrefaction and prolong the experimental window. The specimens retain their range of motion, so they can be positioned in treatment positions, thus providing an opportunity to capture the lymphatics in clinically relevant positions, once contrast agent has been injected.…”

The Lymphatic System in Breast Cancer: Anatomical and Molecular Approaches

Breast cancer is one of the most important causes of premature mortality among women and it is one of the most frequently diagnosed tumours worldwide. For this reason, routine screening for prevention and early diagnosis is important for the quality of life of patients. Breast cancer cells can enter blood and lymphatic capillaries, then metastasizing to the regional lymph nodes in the axilla and to both visceral and non-visceral sites. Rather than at the primary site, they seem to enter the systemic circulation mainly through the sentinel lymph node and the biopsy of this indicator can influence the axillary dissection during the surgical approach to the pathology. Furthermore, secondary lymphoedema is another important issue for women following breast cancer surgical treatment or radiotherapy. Considering these fundamental aspects, the present article aims to describe new methodological approaches to assess the anatomy of the lymphatic network in the axillary region, as well as the molecular and physiological control of lymphatic vessel function, in order to understand how the lymphatic system contributes to breast cancer disease. Due to their clinical implications, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms governing lymph node metastasis in breast cancer are also examined. Beyond the investigation of breast lymphatic networks and lymphatic molecular mechanisms, the discovery of new effective anti-lymphangiogenic drugs for future clinical settings appears essential to support any future development in the treatment of breast cancer.
