Corpses for teaching and research in Anatomy are fundamental, even having high developed technological resources. Although the National University of Cordoba is receiving bodies by donation, the quantity is very scarce and it barely allows the pre-graduate teaching activities, using prosected specimens for practical activities. It is essential to develop a donation program to increase body supply. The objective of the present study is to obtain data about the attitude of Medicine students in relation to body procurement and donation. We collected demographic data to provided a framework for analysis and specific data on organ and body donation. Samples from students of each and all years of the career were considered. For the 97% of the students cadavers were very important to study Anatomy. Most of the total students (94%) should be willing to donate their organs for transplantation, 84% were interested in getting more information on body donation, 42% should donate their own body and 75% could participate in procurement actions. Women were more willing to donate their organs than men, while men were more willing to donate their own bodies. Students who did not profess any religion had better attitude to donation. Medicine students from the National University of Cordoba have evidenced an important commitment to donation not only of organs but also of whole body because they recognize their importance, care future generations and have high values like altruism and solidarity. La utilización de cuerpos humanos para docencia e investigación en el pre y posgrado resultan imprescindibles en Anatomía, aún disponiendo de tecnología de avanzada. Si bien la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba está recibiendo cuerpos por donación, la cantidad es muy escasa y apenas permite desarrollar las actividades docentes de pre-grado, usando preparados disecados para las actividades prácticas. Resulta imprescindible desarrollar un programa de donación para incrementar la provisión de cuerpos. El presente estudio pretende obtener datos que permitan conocer la actitud de los estudiantes de Medicina en relación a la procuración y donación de cuerpos. Se recabaron datos demográficos que brindaron un marco para el análisis y datos específicos sobre donación de órganos para trasplante y de cuerpos. Se consideraron muestras de alumnos correspondientes a todos los años de la carrera. Para el 97% los cuerpos son importantes para aprender Anatomía. El 94% donaría sus órganos para trasplante, al 84% le interesaría disponer de más información, el 42% donaría su propio cuerpo y el 75% participaría en un programa de procuración. Las mujeres tuvieron mayor disposición a la donación de órganos para trasplante, mientras que los varones hacia la donación de cuerpos (BD) para docencia e investigación. Quienes no profesan ninguna religión fueron más positivos hacia la BD. Los estudiantes de Medicina evidenciaron un importante compromiso con la donación tanto para trasplante como de cuerpos completos, porque reconocen la importancia de ambos, se preocupan por las generaciones futuras y cuentan con valores como el altruismo y la solidaridad.

Body Donation

Medicine and Dentistry are the only careers performing human body dissection and teaching-learning of Anatomy with cadaveric material in our university. Physicians and dentists’ knowledge and opinion on the topic are particularly important because they could be considered as potential procurators due to their contact and influence on patient’s decisions. We surveyed 528 professionals (429 physicians and 99 dentists) collecting some demographic data and questions about organ and whole body donation. Results showed that 94% should donate organs for transplantation, 66% knew about body donation, 66% was interested in further information and 48% should be willing to donate the own body for teaching and research. Main reasons to donate were to support teaching and research, contribute to the science and to be useful. In conclusion, we found that professionals had a very positive attitude in relation to body donation, independently of gender, age, religion, regional origin or specialities, but with significant differences between physicians and dentists. Compared with students, they had better attitude which could be related to a better information and experience. In comparison with the few published articles we found, our results were similar to Ireland and very different to India, improving our expectances about the success of developing a donation program. Organ and body donation are always an act of altruism and social solidarity.

Body Donation

Corpses are an irreplaceable resource for teaching and research in Anatomy. Voluntary donation is the source of cadavers, but in the  National University of Cordoba we are struggling with a critical shortage due to the lack of an organized donation program. The objective of this study was to know the attitude of general population of the city of Cordoba about this subject and the profile of potential donors to develop a program. A survey was randomly distributed among older than 18 years. The questionnaire included demographic, educational, laboral and religious aspects and specific ones related to the willingness to donate the own body and reasons to do it, knowledge about this possibility, interest in further information. Two thousand and thirty responses were obtained from a population so diverse that we considered it as representative of the city. Among the respondents, 80% should be willing to donate organs for transplantation and 41% the whole body; with 45% who said to know about donation and 54% interested in more information. Main motives to donate were related to support teaching, research and science; while the main reason not to donate was associated with insuficient information. The profile of potential donors was obtained from the analysis of all the variables and we compared with other studies demonstrating that not only cultural and religious aspects may determine the willingness to donate but also the level of public information and facilities to register as donors.

AbstractDead bodies exhibit a variable range of changes with advancing decomposition. To quantify intracorporeal gas, the radiological alteration index (RAI) has been implemented in the assessment of postmortem whole-body computed tomography. We used this RAI as a proxy for the state of decomposition. This study aimed to (I) investigate the correlation between the state of decomposition and the season in which the body was discovered; and (II) evaluate the correlations between sociodemographic factors (age, sex) and the state of decomposition, by using the RAI as a proxy for the extent of decomposition. In a retrospective study, we analyzed demographic data from all autopsy reports from the Institute of Forensic Medicine of Zurich between January 2017 to July 2019 and evaluated the radiological alteration index from postmortem whole-body computed tomography for each case. The bodies of older males showed the highest RAI. Seasonal effects had no significant influence on the RAI in our urban study population with bodies mostly being discovered indoors. Autopsy reports contain valuable data that allow interpretation for reasons beyond forensic purposes, such as sociopolitical observations.

Musical Canon

This paper seeks to understand representations in repertoire diversity found in audition selections for Carnegie Mellon University, the National Student Auditions hosted by the National Association of Teachers of Singing, the Wolf Trap Opera Company summer program auditions, and the Metropolitan Opera National Council auditions. Various forms of data collection and the ubiquitous use of social media have highlighted equity disparities in the treatment of minority groups. The singing community, like all music-makers, must reconcile past inequalities and adapt current practices based on inclusion rather than exclusion. Analysis of these selections is compared with demographic data from members of the National Association of Schools of Music and the U.S. Census Bureau. By amalgamating these various forms of evidence combined with interdisciplinary framing, this paper: 1) provides a framework of systematic issues facing minorities in vocal studies and performance; 2) develops a theoretical understanding of the musical canon; 3) evaluates the current content of the vocal musical canon; 4) displays representational disparities between canonic vocal works and the populations singing them, and; 5) highlights the need for change in current practice to remain equitable for future generations of singers. While systematic choices in repertoire selection may seem insignificant in the short term studies have shown that minority students viewing representations of themselves in positions of power have positive impacts on their growth and the likelihood of entering and studying in the field. Shifts in current practice are critically necessary for vocal studies to remain relevant and inclusive for future generations.

The Subject

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate the association between frailty with hospitalization and institutionalization in a follow-up study of elderly residents. Method: the follow-up study was performed in 2008 and 2013 with elderly of both genders, aged 65 years and older who were living in the community-dwelling. The sampling procedure performed was probabilistic, with dual-stage clustering. In 2008, 515 elderly people were interviewed and, in 2013, 262. We used the socioeconomic and demographic data, self-reported morbidity, specific data of hospitalization and institutionalization. Frailty was measured by the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), and functional capacity through the Functional Independence Measure. Results: we found the mean gross EFS score was higher among resident elderly who were hospitalized and institutionalized and was statistically significant in both investigated years. Conclusion: the confirmation of association between frailty and hospitalization and institutionalization reinforces the importance of the subject, and highlights frailty as an important tool for risk estimates for these adverse events.
