Pre-A & P: A Refresher for Student Success in Anatomy & Physiology | TAPP 140
In episode 140, we introduce the development of thepre-A&P course and theA&P1 Supplement course. These coursesaddress the challenges faced by A&P students and improve theirreadiness and comprehension. In this first of two episodes, we focus on the pre-A&P course. It focuses on filling subject knowledge gaps with 10 modules and cumulative tests. Student surveys and studies show its effectiveness inachieving higher grades in the A&P 1 course. Implementing these nontraditional coursesrequires collaboration and support from advisors and faculty members. Together, we aim tobridge the gap in subject pre...

Thinking New Thoughts about the Human Brain | TAPP 139
In Episode 139, we explore anew discovery in nerve signaling in the brain called adendritic action potential (dCaAP), we look at a whackyproposed model of brain function, and we share some ideas about how we can help our students understand thecore concepts ofchemical signaling andsignal transduction in different contexts.

Ultrahigh-Resolution Photon-counting CT Useful Prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Assessment of coronary anatomy prior to Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement has great prognostic significance. Invasive coronary angiography is done prior to TAVR though CT coronary angiography has a role in ruling out coronary artery disease in those with low or intermediate pretest probabilities. Accurate interpretation of coronary arteries in those planned for TAVR has challenges because of high occurrence of abnormal heart rhythm, contraindications for beta blockers and nitroglycerine administraton.
Still important is the blooming artifacts on CT coronary angiography in those with coronary stents or severe calcific...

The anatomy lesson of Dr Tulp - De anatomische les van Dr Nicolaes Tulp
I wrote this ages ago but for some reason never published it. But here it is!This painting by Rembrandt is in the Mauritshuis in Den Haag. Last year on holiday I visited the gallery to see The Girl with the Pearl Earring (who in Dutch is just " The girl with the pearl " , although it doesn ' t rhyme in Dutch), butDe anatomische les van Dr Nicolaes Tulp is there too. This was Rembrandt ' s first commission on moving to Amsterdam, commissioned by the Surgeon ' s Guild.Tulp gave annual anatomy lectures, open to the public (on payment).
