Sub-Saharan Africa bears the greatest burden of paediatric HIV disease. This atlas is the first of its kind with photographs of varying skin, systemic conditions and opportunistic infections in the HIV-infected paediatric patient. The aim of the atlas is to illustrate conditions which were captured among paediatric patients presenting to HIV clinic...

In Dunfield's catalog of the hyperbolic manifolds in the SnapPy census which are complements of L-space knots in $S^3$, we determine that $22$ have tunnel number $2$ while the remaining all have tunnel number $1$. Notably, these $22$ manifolds contain $9$ asymmetric L-space knot complements. Furthermore, using SnapPy and KLO we find presentations o...

Despite its crucial role in diagnosis, accurately recognising clinical signs and symptoms across diverse skin types remains a significant challenge in healthcare. This article addresses this critical gap in clinical practice and medical education, focusing on the challenges of identifying and understanding skin conditions on Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) skin tones.
History portrays the important role that art plays in anatomy and medicine, with its ability to preserve and articulate human dissections and physiological concepts. Throughout time, we see an evolution of medical illustration from elaborate and dramatized compositions during the Renaissance era to more refined and naturalistic depictions of anatomical concepts and procedures by the pioneers of art and medicine. These greats such as the Flemish “father of anatomy” Andreas Vesalius and Leonardo da Vinci gained their accolades through intricate investigation of the human body and valued the importance of practical, embodied dissection while striving for its accurate presentation. Today, medical illustrations are described as simple, clear infographics which interpret details of human dissection for a more conceptualized understanding of anatomy and are an efficient tool to ensure ease of learning and improved health care. Further progression is seen in the field of medical art with the integration of innovative imaging techniques such as three-dimensional rendering and virtual and augmented realities, which engages students while forging a true comprehension of context. Medical illustration expands beyond anatomy and can be used to convey and simplify useful information to the public and therefore acquires the responsibility of depicting diverse communities and inclusive representation. Although medical art is ever-evolving and becoming an integral part of medical curricula, the initial melding of art and anatomy had solidified its significance in science and its ability to elevate teaching and learning.
