    Abstract Knowledge of anatomy and comprehensive body navigation is essential for operating specialties and the practice of medicine. Focused surgical anatomical training exposure at undergraduate and medical student levels aims to increase functional understanding of medical anatomy and draws an early exposure to surgical career fields while enhancing surgical confidence.

    Abstract PANDAS, or pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections, is a neuropsychiatric disease seen in children that presents with prevailing symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), tic disorder, or both. These symptoms appear suddenly following a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or scarlet fever. The antibodies formed to eradicate the streptococcal infection have been shown to alter central dopamine signaling. In spite of being acknowledged in the medical community for the last two to three decades, PANDAS is a disorder that goes unnoticed by many healthcare professionals. Unfortunately, even with correct diagnosis and utilization of commonly prescribed pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, medical management can often be ineffective at treating the neuropsychiatric symptoms. Here, we describe a case of a 15-year-old male who presented to the primary care office with complaints of episodic behavioral changes that would occur multiple times daily. The general symptoms were centered around body dysmorphia where the patient became obsessed with fixed portions of food and became highly focused on only specific food types. The symptoms would exacerbate and progress with a dire need to burn calories, leading the patient to damage carpeted areas in the home due to regular and fanatical pacing. The patient underwent trials with serotonergic pharmacotherapy with little to no relief of the psychiatric symptoms. After discussion with his primary care physician, the patient underwent trial management with antidopaminergic therapy that resulted in significant neurological and psychiatric improvement. The use of antidopaminergic pharmacotherapy to target the induction of D1 and D2 dopamine receptors was efficacious in this patient; however, it warrants additional research with a larger sample to determine its effectiveness in the treatment of this psychiatric condition.

    Abstract Gilbert syndrome is a condition of non-hemolytic hyperbilirubinemia without further sequelae or primary laboratory abnormalities. Gilbert syndrome represents the most common hereditary disorder of bilirubin metabolism and is frequently identified as the etiology of familial jaundice in clinical medicine. This disorder typically manifests as mild unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia of benign nature. The diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome entails clinical assessment corroborated by the laboratory findings above in the absence of hemolysis or other organic liver diseases. We report a case of a 17-year-old boy who presented to a pediatric clinic with dyspepsia for the management of digestive symptoms, with clinical findings of mild scleral icterus and laboratory findings of isolated indirect hyperbilirubinemia. This case is unique in its subtlety of presentation. It highlights to trainees and experienced physicians the importance of the physical examination and targeted laboratory workup to arrive at the diagnosis of Gilbert syndrome.

    Abstract Nitrofurantoin has been utilized for the prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) since the 1950s, and it has been prescribed with increasing frequency since being recommended as a first-line therapy. The adverse neurological and psychiatric effects of antibiotic medications have been well-established. There is evidence to suggest a direct association between acute psychosis and antibiotic exposures. Nitrofurantoin-induced adverse effects have been reported recurrently; however, to the best of our knowledge, a combination of auditory and visual hallucinations with normal baseline mentation and cognition in an immunocompetent geriatric patient, without previously reported hallucinations, have not been reported in the literature so far. We present a case of an 86-year-old Caucasian female who was admitted with audio and visual hallucinations on the fifth day of starting nitrofurantoin therapy for UTI. During her stay, after ruling out all other probable etiologies, it was determined that the likely pathogenesis of the patient's neuropsychiatric effects was the use of nitrofurantoin.

    Abstract Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of indeterminate etiology. Women are more commonly affected than men at nearly twice the incidence with black women most commonly afflicted in the United States. Osseous spinal sarcoidosis (SS) is thought to be uncommon. Such lesions are often mistaken for metastatic disease, multiple myeloma, or disseminated fungal/granulomatous infection complicating the diagnosis, clinical course, and treatment. Patients presenting with clinical and imaging features of sarcoidosis may have normal serum laboratory values further complicating diagnosis. We present the case of a 61-year-old African American female with a diagnosis of osseous spinal sarcoidosis and normal calcium and ACE levels. Her initial presentation began with an incidentally discovered pulmonary nodule and was subsequently discovered to have multiple enlarging pulmonary nodules and widespread sclerotic lesions throughout her spine. This imaging presentation occurred before development of hilar adenopathy and cutaneous manifestations of sarcoidosis. Here, we describe her clinical course, exclusion of metastatic disease, and other confounders to arrive at the correct diagnosis.

    Abstract Dolphin photo-identification has traditionally relied only on distinctive markings on the dorsal fin-this is problematic for delphinids whose populations exhibit a low mark ratio. We used common dolphins (genus Delphinus) as a model species to assess the viability of using pigmentation for photo-identification. Using a photo-identification catalogue of 169 adult individuals collected between 2002 and 2013, we extracted features that quantified pigmentation in a manner that was robust to lighting artefacts and dorsal fin orientation. We determined the proportion of individuals which exhibited pigmentation and examined temporal stability by (i) visually examining individuals and (ii) testing for seriation. We found 88-91% of images could be manually matched to the correct individual in the catalogue based on pigmentation patterns alone. A linear discriminant analysis classifier correctly identified the correct individual 77% of the time. We found 95% common dolphins exhibited distinctive pigmentation-all of which were temporarily stable. Our work challenges the current thinking that pigmentation is an unreliable feature for delphinid photo-identification and suggests that this feature could be applied to common dolphins and other poorly-marked delphinids.

    Abstract Based on a major research programme, and originally published in 1985, this book looked to provide an economic foundation for reinterpreting the Neolithic-Bronze Age sequence of South-east Spain in terms of emergent social complexity. The cultural evolution of the area had already been considered in terms of influence from the eastern Mediterranean but this book uses site catchment analysis to give an economic baseline for all thirty-five of the better-known prehistoric settlements of the region.Site catchment analysis assumes that people minimised transport costs in production and that ancien
