The reliance on unclaimed cadavers for anatomical teaching by medical schools in Africa

The study of gross Anatomy through the use of cadaveric dissections in medical schools is an essential part of the comprehensive learning of human Anatomy, and unsurprisingly, 90% of the surveyed medical schools in Africa used cadaveric dissections. Donated cadavers now make up 80% of the total cadavers in North American medical schools and all the cadavers used for dissection in the United Kingdom are donated. Because the sources of cadavers used in Africa are not clearly known, a questionnaire to gather information on cadavers used at medical schools was designed from the relevant literature and was sent by electronic mail to 123 Anatomy lecturers in 23 African countries (48 medical schools). Fourteen lecturers from 14 medical schools in ten countries responded to the questionnaires. The results indicate that, in most countries, the cadavers are unclaimed bodies from the hospitals and prisons, and the bodies of dead bandits. In South Africa and Zimbabwe, the donations are mostly from the white community, and medical school in the Islamic country of Libya is importing cadavers from India. The lack of knowledge about body donation programes and firmly held cultural and religious burial traditions may explain the lack of bequests from black communities. The use of unclaimed bodies may disproportionally affect people who were homeless and poor, criminals, people with fewer social links, and social outcasts. The Anatomy lecturers felt that there should be broader national awareness programes for body donations, although the benefits of this could take decades to materialize.

浅谈翻转课堂教学法在非医学专业校本通识课程“急救护理学”的应用——以气道异物急救为例     

张传英  李一芳  荣燕 《科教文汇》2020,(13):93-95

目的:以气道异物急救为例,探讨翻转课堂教学法在非医学专业“急救护理学”的实施效果。方法:将2016级两个非医学专业班120人随机分为试验组和对照组,试验组采用翻转课堂教学法,对照组采用传统教学法,两组按照完全相同的考核方式、考核内容及评价标准进行理论知识和急救技能考核。结果:试验组理论和技能考试平均成绩明显高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:翻转课堂教学法在“急救护理学”教学中能够显著提高教学效果。  相似文献

BODIES R US: Ethical Views on the Commercialization of the Dead in Medical Education and Research     

Thomas H. Champney  Sabine Hildebrandt  D. Gareth Jones  Andreas Winkelmann 《Anatomical sciences education》2019,12(3):317-325

With the ongoing and expanding use of willed bodies in medical education and research, there has been a concomitant rise in the need for willed bodies and an increase in the means of supplying these bodies. A relatively recent development to enlarge this supply has been the growth of for- profit willed body companies (“body brokers”) in the United States. These companies advertise for donors, cover all cremation and other fees for the donor, distribute the bodies or body parts nationally and internationally, and charge their users for access to the body or body parts. In doing so, they generate substantial profits. This review examines the historical development of willed body programs, the legal and economic aspects of willed body programs, and then provides an ethical framework for the use of willed bodies. The ethical principles described include detailed informed consent from the donors, comprehensive and transparent information about the process from the body donation organizations, and societal input on the proper and legal handling of willed bodies. Based on the ethical principles outlined, it is recommended that there be no commercialization or commodification of willed bodies, and that programs that use willed bodies should not generate profit.  相似文献   

生态课堂建构的理性思考   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

李学书 《天津师范大学学报(基础教育版)》2011,(3):1-5

生态课堂既是理想课堂,又是全新的教育追求。它是生命价值的依托,和谐互动的舞台,多元共生的田野。基于课堂生态特征的解读,回首我们现实的课堂,不难发现存在着很多失衡因素,构建生态和谐的课堂已经迫在眉睫。课堂的生态定位要求作为生态主体的教师要以高度负责的精神,在教学中从教学目标的解读,教学内容的选择,教学途径的采用,教学评价模式设计等方面来建构生态课堂。  相似文献

检察机关内设机构变迁的实践阐释     

张翠松 《石家庄学院学报》2012,14(1):78-83,98

检察机关的内设机构是检察权得以具体落实的基本载体,反映了检察权在内部的基本架构和整体布局。建国以来我国检察机关内设机构变迁主要分5个阶段,呈现出3个主要特点——机构设置数量越来越多、机构职能分工越来越细化、机构名称称谓标准不统一等。检察机关内设业务机构的变迁,反映了我国检察机关业务职能在不同历史阶段的不同配置要求。通过对检察机关内设机构变迁的纵向考察,可以折射出建国后我国检察职权配置的嬗变规律：检察机关侦查权和监督职权成收缩态势,而公诉职权却不断得到强化。  相似文献   

Chinese Bodies that Matter: The Search for Masculinity and Femininity     

Gladys Pak Lei Chong 《国际体育史杂志》2013,30(3):242-266

This article is an inquiry of why such significance has been assigned to sports in general and the Olympics in particular in China. It looks at how history and politics intersect with gender. I explain how the historicity of China's traumatic past – how it fell prey to the western imperialists – has allowed the state to draw on the biopolitical discourse that links its subjects’ physical, mental and moral attributes to that of the survival and revival of a Chinese nation. This article examines the ways in which gender ideals/norms were inscribed onto the athletes’ bodies that helped exemplify China's nation-building project and its pursuit of modernity. My analysis focuses on the representation of their bodies, clothes and corporal expression. Three sets of male and female athletes of three different periods were examined: (1) Liu Changchun and Yang Xiuqiong, representing the Republican China; (2) Li Ning and Lang Ping, representing the post-opening up period; (3) Liu Xiang and Guo Jingjing, representing the global China. I argue that manliness and femaleness are cultural as well as political products produced according to the needs of the nation and the state at different historical moments; and both men and women carry their share of national burden.  相似文献
