Good command of anatomy is a basic requirement for studying and practicing clinical disciplines. A common difficulty that faces many medical and dental students (at least this was the case with the author) is how to keep their knowledge of…

Introduction: The use of computer-generated 3-dimensional (3-D) anatomical models to teach anatomy has proliferated. However, there is little evidence that these models are educationally effective. The purpose of this study was to test the educational effectiveness of a computer-generated 3-D…

This article explores commercial, academic, and national initiatives aimed at usingsequencing technologies to generate “actionable” genomic results that can beapplied to the clinical management of oncology patients. We argue that the term“actionable” is not merely a buzzword, but signals the…
