    Text-to-Movie Authoring of Anatomy Lessons

    International audienceWith popular use of multimedia and 3D content in anatomy teaching there is a need for a simple yet comprehensive tool to create and edit pedagogical anatomy video lessons. In this paper we present an automated video authoring tool created for teachers. It takes text written in a novel domain specific language (DSL) called the Anatomy Storyboard Language (ASL) as input and translates it to real time 3D animation. Preliminary results demonstrates the ease of use and effectiveness of the tool for quickly drafting video lessons in realistic medical anatomy teaching scenarios

    A Giant Left Atrial Myxoma

    Atrial myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors. Patients with left atrial myxomas generally present with mechanical obstruction of blood flow, systemic embolization, and constitutional symptoms. We present a case of an unusually large left atrial myxoma discovered incidentally in a patient with longstanding dyspnea being managed as bronchial asthma

    Avascular peripheral retina in an infant is a common characteristic of numerous pediatric retinal vascular disorders and often presents a diagnostic challenge to the clinician. In this review, key features of each disease in the differential diagnosis, from retinopathy of prematurity, familial exudative vitreoretinopathy, Coats disease, incontinentia pigmenti, Norrie disease, and persistent fetal vasculature, to other rare hematologic conditions and telomere disorders, will be discussed by expert ophthalmologists in the field

    A Meta-Analysis of Mental Imagery Effects on Post-Injury Functional Mobility, Perceived Pain, and Self-Efficacy

    Objectives: We used meta-analysis to examine the effects of mental imagery (MI) on three bio-psycho-social factors, namely functional mobility, perceived pain, and self-efficacy. Method: Ten studies were included in the meta-analytical review. Cohen’s d effect sizes (ES) and Hedge's g weighted mean ES (WES) were computed for all dependent variables. Results: The analysis revealed that the effect of imagery interventions was (1) small and positive for functional mobility (g =.16), (2) large and negative for perceived pain (g = -.86), and (3) large and positive for self-efficacy (g = .99). These effects were all non-significant, probably because the interventions administered and populations sampled in the studies were mostly heterogeneous. Hence, the effects of MI on bio-psycho-social variables warrant continued empirical investigation. Conclusions: Given the observed statistical trends, MI interventions are likely to be beneficial for athletes recovering from injury, as they may serve to decrease negative affect and promote gains in mobility and positive affect
