An injured lion from Kanegra (Slovenia)
Traumatic limb injuries can be lethal for large predators, yet well documented fossil cases showing severe postcranial trauma with demonstrable long-term survival are extremely rare in extinct lions. We report a pathologically remodelled right humerus (MGGC 22655) from the Kanegra sinkhole (Istria, northern Adriatic), providing the first evidence of a juvenile cave lion surviving a complete forelimb fracture into adulthood. Direct U/Th dating on …
The Digitization of Human Skeletal Collections
Human skeletal remains are a crucial source for understanding biocultural and evolutionary processes. Yet, their study and management are challenged by social, religious, and political factors, placing them in a ‘grey area’ within cultural heritage. Human skeletal collections often carry colonial legacies, raising ethical concerns and new challenges for research, curation, and public engagement in academic and museum institutions. In this context…
From comics to care
Organ transplantation profoundly enhances survival and quality of life for patients with end-stage organ failure but presents challenges such as lifelong immunosuppression, complications and psychosocial stress. The graphic novel I nuovi noi ('Our new selves') leverages Graphic Medicine to address these challenges, combining visual storytelling with healthcare insights. Developed collaboratively with patients, healthcare professionals and artists…
The Ethics of Drawing Illness
This paper illustrates how the design of health-related comics contributes to reflecting on the methodological and ethical challenges of qualitative research. In line with Comics-Based Research (CBR), we demonstrate how creating a comic on medical topics emerges from continuous and iterative dialogue among multiple voices: patients, sociologists, artists, and physicians. On an ethical and methodological level, our study explores the creation of a…
AEducaAR, Anatomical Education in Augmented Reality
Gross anatomy knowledge is an essential element for medical students in their education, and nowadays, cadaver-based instruction represents the main instructional tool able to provide three-dimensional (3D) and topographical comprehensions. The aim of the study was to develop and test a prototype of an innovative tool for medical education in human anatomy based on the combination of augmented reality (AR) technology and a tangible 3D printed mod…
Near-Peer Teaching in Human Anatomy from a Tutors’ Perspective
The University of Bologna School of Medicine in 2003 adopted a near-peer teaching (NPT) program with senior medical students teaching and assisting younger students in human anatomy laboratories. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of this program-unique on the Italian academic panorama-from the tutors' perspective. An anonymous online survey was administered to all those who acted as peer tutors in the period from 2003 to…
