A Market for Death: The Use and Abuse of Cadavers in Nineteenth-Century America
"A Market for Death: The Use and Abuse of Cadavers in Nineteenth-Century America" examines the rise of grave robbing for the procurement of human bodies for educational and entertainment purposes. In the late eighteenth century, new medical schools sought cadavers for dissection and anatomical …

Potential of the mosquito pathogen Bacillus sphaericus for recycling and gene transfer in larval cadavers
… or 1593-P51. No transconjugants were detected in cadavers 72 hours after feeding the spores.

Long term potential of a saturated sodium chloride solution for the anatomical preservation of human cadavers
… been investigated for their abilities to provide cadavers with both life-like features and longevity of preservation. A simple saturated salt solution (saturated NaCl solution) was used to embalm 4 cadavers in two phases of study, without the addition of formalin. As “soft-fix” methods are …

The blood supply of the human spinal cord at birth: a report on a micro-dissection study of 27 foetal and neonate cadavers
… of the arterial and arteriolar vessels in 27 cadavers. In 21 instances, the anterior median spinal arterial trunk and in 9 instances the postero-lateral spinal arterial trunks have been recorded. Selection of cadavers has been on the basis of the absence of obvious congenital deformity or …

Defining Postmortem Changes in Western Montana: The Effects of Climate and Environment on the Rate and Sequence of Decomposition Using Pig (Sus scrofa) Cadavers
The rate and sequence of human decomposition permits forensic anthropologists to estimate time since death for remains from the forensic context. Preliminary research conducted in western Montana indicates that decomposition does not follow the patterns found in other geographic locations. The …

Competition and co-existence of Photorhabdus temperata subspecies temperata and Photorhabdus temperata subspecies cinerea, symbionts of Heterorhabditis downesi
… 200-300 bacteria on average. Infected insect cadavers were dried for up to 61 days and then rewetted. More IJs emerged from cadavers with P. t. cinerea than from cadavers with P. t. temperata. Clearly, P. t. cinerea provides an advantage to its associated nematodes under dry conditions, such …

Finite element simulation of the human body in vehicle side impact
… not performed with living humans and hence human cadavers were used. A pendulum mass is usually used in impactor tests to impact the cadaver at different body regions with varying initial velocities. Sled tests are another test procedure, in which cadavers are impacted against a rigid or padded …

Thiel Plastination: Improving the Aesthetics and Flexibility of Traditional Plastinated Specimens
… flexibility and lifelike qualities possessed by cadavers which have been Thiel embalmed have allowed for innovative research and continuous professional development to be carried out in medical professions such as surgery. However, there are no current publications outlining the methods used to …

Attempting to Understand the Effects of Thiel Embalming and Addressing Potential Legislative Changes
Thiel embalmed cadavers were first used by the Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification, University of Dundee, in 2009, marking their introduction to the UK having been developed by Professor Walter Thiel in the University of Graz, Austria, over a thirty year period to 1992. The cadavers …

Bring Up the Bodies: The Resurrectionists and the Rise of the American Cadaver Trade
… subsequently created black market demand for cadavers. This thesis argues that the cadaver trade in Philadelphia was never an organic outgrowth of anatomical medicine, but a formal pedagogical tool that American medical students were educated in. The cadaver trade in Philadelphia was broadly …

Utilizing Interactive Imagery To Create A Learning Resource For Students Studying The Lymphatics Of The Head And Neck
… anatomy that is often overlooked when studying cadavers. In professional school, arteries, veins, muscles, and nerves tends to be emphasized before learning the lymphatic system, namely the lymph nodes. For this project, an online hub was created that contains pictures of cadavers with overlayed …

Diagnostic imaging of the tympanic bulla and temporomandibular joint in the dog, cat and rabbit.
… the middle ear cavity of dog, cat and rabbit cadavers aided identification of the TB and acted as a model of one of the major features of acute otitis media, or inflammation of the middle ear cavity. CT was most accurate at identifying middle ear material in cadavers and clinical cases, while …

Variations in the insertions of the tibialis posterior muscle and the structure of the medial longitudinal arch
This study utilized cadavers to examine the variable insertions of the tendon of tibialis posterior muscle. Both feet from 29 cadavers were dissected and six variable connections to intrinsic foot structures were documented (frequencies indicated as a per cent): sustentaculum tali (93.1%), abductor …

Comparative histology of human skin.
… from embalmed cadaveric tissue from human cadavers were compared against samples taken from surgical patients. (iii) Skin samples were studied from different regions of the body to assess if dermal structure correlates with scarring potential. (iv) Skin samples were sectioned in a plane …

Development and evaluation summaries of a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) surgical simulator
… surgical training methods, such as the use of cadavers, and porcine models (pigs) fall short of providing the realistic, real-time feedback necessary for mastering complex procedures. Virtual reality (VR) simulators with haptics offer a significant improvement, delivering immersive and …

Injury Mechanisms, Tissue Properties, and Response of the Post-Mortem Human Abdomen in Frontal Impact
… relative position of the abdominal organs of two cadavers were quantified, and high-speed biplane x-ray imaging was used to investigate the relative kinematics of the thoracic and abdominal organs of four cadavers in response to crash-specific loading modes. Test configurations included blunt …
