RESUMEN
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to create a detailed cross-sectional anatomical reference atlas of the Pannon minipig by correlating good resolution CT and MR images with high quality cross-sectional anatomical images. According to the authors knowledge, no detailed anatomical atlas is available for the minipig. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An adult female minipig was utilized for this purpose. The animal was placed in a PVC half tube, and CT generated images of 0.6 mm slice thickness and MR images of 1.41 mm slice thickness were obtained. The images covered the whole body from the most rostral portion of the snout to the tip of the tail. The CT and MR scans were aligned with frozen anatomical sections prepared with an anatomical band saw from the same animal and significant structures were identified and labelled. The terminology employed has been referenced from the Nomina Anatomica Veterinaria 6th edition-2017. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS: The resulting atlas consists of 109 anatomical slices and the corresponding 109 CT and 109 MR scans (altogether 327 images) and the nomenclature list for each image. Although this publication contains limited images of the resulted atlas, it is a reference source for anatomy education and clinical sciences. We are of the opinion that more comprehensive and especially online available interactive atlases should be prepared using similar methodology.

The neonatal/infant intensive care unit (N/IICU) at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia is a 98-bed, level IV unit through which second-year pediatric residents rotate monthly. We developed a quality improvement project to improve the resident educational experience using goal setting. Primary objectives were to increase resident educational goal identification to 65% and goal achievement to 85% by June 2017. Secondary objectives were to (1) increase in-person feedback from fellows and/or attendings to 90% by June 2017 and (2) sustain improvements through June 2018. METHODS: The quality improvement team developed a driver diagram and administered a baseline survey to 48 residents who had rotated through the N/IICU in the 18 months before the project. Plan-Do-Study-Act cycles targeted project awareness and trialing of 3 different methods to elicit goals and track feedback, from July 2016 through June 2018. RESULTS: The baseline survey response rate was 52% (n = 25). Among 60 rotating residents, the median resident-reported rate of goal achievement increased from 37.5% to 50%, and residents receiving in-person feedback increased from 25% to 50%. Of the 63% (n = 38) of residents who participated in data collection, goal identification and achievement increased from 38% to 100% between academic year 2016 and academic year 2017, and in-person feedback increased from 24% to 82%. CONCLUSIONS: Instituting a goal-setting framework for residents during their N/IICU rotation increased goal achievement and in-person feedback. Consistent resident participation in postrotation data collection made measuring project outcomes challenging. These data support goal-oriented learning as an approach to enhance learner engagement and improve goal achievement.
