Morphometric analysis of the scapula has been proposed as a tool for preventing injuries to the suprascapular nerve. The present investigation aimed to determine the safe distances for approaching the suprascapular nerve at the level of the scapular notch (SPN) and spinoglenoid notch, in addition to establishing its relationship with the type of SPN and with two scapular dimensions: major longitudinal axis (MLA) and major transverse axis (MTA). For this purpose, a descriptive-correlative, quantitative, non-experimental and transversal study was carried out, in which 82 dry scapulae from adult individuals of Chilean origin were investigated. The main results of this study found that prevalences were highest for SPNs types II (36.2%), I (29.3%), and III (26.0%), with average distances that were considered safe in all types of SPNs. Furthermore, there was a positive correlation, with <i>P</i><0.05, between the MTA (r=0.526; r=0.634), MLA (r=0.284) and the safe distances for the suprascapular nerve at the level of the SPN and incisura spinoglenoid of the scapulae studied.

Therefore, the aim of this study was surveying the effect of rosuvastatin (RZV) coated by nano-chitosan in an Alzheimer's (Alz) induced model of rats. We examined learning, memory, and hippocampal amyloid plaques and evaluate expression levels of calbindin, doublecortin (DCX), NeuroD1, neuronal nuclei (NeuN), and neurofilament. Forty rats were randomly divided into five various groups. AD was induced by injecting bilaterally with 1 μl of amyloid beta (Aβ) into the hippocampus. After confirmation of AD, RZV, or NP, or RZV+NP were administered gavage orally daily in rats for 30 days. Induction of AD significantly raised Aβ plaques and dead cells compared to the control group. Results of Morris water maze in the test day indicated that Alz+NP+RZV group significantly reduced escape latency and travelled distance, also significantly increased spending time compared to the Alz group (<i>P</i><0.05). RZV significantly decreased Aβ plaque percentage and the number of apoptotic cells compared to the Alz group (<i>P</i><0.05). In addition, NeuN and neurofilament protein expression and calbindin, DCX, and NeuroD1 genes expression increased in Alz+RZV and Alz+RZV+NP compared to the Alz group.

Using the VR application, 3D Organon Virtual Reality Anatomy, anatomy instructors pre-recorded learning content as 360-degree videos with live voice-over and integrated it into the teaching material of the MBBS first-year abdomen, pelvis, and perineum-structure and function course. A 19-item 5-point Likert scale questionnaire, comprising of two major categories, \"VR experience in anatomy lessons\" and \"VR in anatomy lessons vs. traditional cadaveric dissection\" was disseminated. Post-evaluation analysis revealed a response rate of 63.5%. Almost 70% of students agreed that VR was instrumental in solidifying their theoretical understanding and improved spatial awareness with better retention of anatomical relationships. Approximately 50% wanted to continue using VR even if instruction becomes onsite. Though 72% of participants agree that VR addressed the session learning objectives only 24% agree that it is similar or better than cadaveric dissection, thus preferring cadaveric dissection to VR. Only 12.1% agree that VR is more beneficial to cadaveric dissection. Our exploration into the integration of VR technology in anatomy teaching has revealed promising opportunities.
