Acknowledging the use of human cadaveric tissues in research papers: Recommendations from anatomical journal editors

Research within the anatomical sciences often relies on human cadaveric tissues. Without the good will of these donors who allow us to use their bodies to push forward our anatomical knowledge, most human anatomical research would come to a standstill. However, many research papers omit an acknowledgement to the donor cadavers or, as no current standardized versions exist, use language that is extremely varied. To remedy this problem, 20 editors‐in‐chiefs from 17 anatomical journals joined together to put together official recommendations that can be used by authors when acknowledging the donor cadavers used in their studies. The goal of these recommendations is to standardize the writing approach by which donors are acknowledged in anatomical studies that use human cadaveric tissues. Such sections in anatomical papers will not only rightfully thank those who made the donation but might also encourage, motivate, and inspire future individuals to make such gifts for the betterment of the anatomical sciences and patient care.

Comparison of 0.5% Centbucridine and 2% Lignocaine as Local Anesthetic Agents for Dental Procedures in Children: A Randomised Controlled Trial

To compare 0.5% centbucridine and 2% lignocaine (with adrenaline) as local anesthetic agents for dental treatment procedures in 12 to 14 y old children. A split mouth, triple blind randomised controlled trial design was adopted for this study. Fifty six children between 12 to 14 y of age requiring bilateral administration of inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) were recruited for this study. The mandibular quadrants were randomly allotted to the drug being administered. Standardised protocol for local anesthesia administration was used. The primary outcomes assessed were onset, duration and depth of anesthesia using the pre-validated Visual Analog scale and effect on perioperative pulse rate using a pulse oximeter. There was no significant difference between centbucridine and lignocaine with respect to their mean onset [(105.181 and 99.727 s respectively), (p = 0.647)], duration of action [(91.931 and 91.613 min respectively), (p = 0.931)] and depth of anesthesia at 10, 30 and 60 min. Centbucridine showed a statistically significant drop in the pulse rate at 10 (p < 0.001) and 30 min (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between 0.5% centbucridine and 2% lignocaine with respect to onset, duration and depth of anesthesia.
