Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnosis of Dandy-Walker-Like Syndrome in a Wire-Haired Miniature Dachshund

A 12-week-old female Wire-haired miniature dachshund presented with non-progressive ataxia and hypermetria. Due to the animal’s clinical history and symptoms, cerebellar malformations were suspected. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) detected bilateral ventriculomegaly, dorsal displacement of the cerebellar tentorium, a defect in the cerebellar tentorium and a large fluid-filled cystic structure that occupied the regions where the cerebellar vermis and occipital lobes are normally located. The abovementioned cystic structure and the defect in the cerebellar tentorium were comparable to those seen in humans with Dandy-Walker syndrome. However, the presence of the cystic structure in the occipital lobe region was unique to the present case. During necropsy, the MRI findings were confirmed, but the etiology of the condition was not determined

DEVELOPMENT AND EVALUATION OF MATERIALS FOR CHILDREN TO REDUCE THE TABLET DEVICE OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS: Received: 10th January 2022; Revised: 14th February 2022, 3rd March 2022, 5th March 2022; Accepted: 7th March 2022

In Japanese schools, there is a problem that teachers are overburdened. Therefore to reduce teachers’ workloads, this study developed online video teaching materials to assist students to troubleshoot their tablet device operational issues. To develop the teaching materials, we first conducted a questionnaire survey among teachers to understand what kind of operational problems were occurring with tablets in the classroom. We then developed the teaching materials based on the results. The evaluation of the teaching materials was conducted through questionnaires and interviews with teachers. The results suggested that the video teaching materials were able to resolve many of the students’ problems and reduce the need for the teachers to deal with all tablet device technical problems
