EXPERIENCE
TEACHING
Teaching Human Anatomy to medical students for 35 years. Teaching comprised dissection and preparation of practical sessions. Laboratory instructions included gross Anatomy, Neuroanatomy and Histology. Teaching includes lecturing courses of clinical Anatomy, Neuroanatomy and Embryology to graduate and postgraduate medical students.
Experience in Problem Based Learning has been achieved by practicing both the European style (trained in the University of Limburg, Maastricht, Netherlands (1991 and 1996) and the American style (worked as a tutor for Med.II at college of Medicine, Ohio State University (1994 & 1995).
RESEARCH
Topics of interest through theses, projects and supervised research activities include:
Growth of children is assessed through the use of techniques of body measurements (Anthropometry), skeletal age and Dental age. Body measurements are conducted following standardized anatomical landmarks. Anthropometry entails measurements of body weight, height, breadths, body proportions, body circumferences and skinfold thickness. Skeletal age is estimated from hand-wrist X-ray films using scoring method and atlas matching method. Dental age is appraised using dental eruptions and dental graded calcification as appearing in dental X-ray film. Research work has been conducted to monitor growth of diseased children in comparison with normal children.
Research in assessing body fat and fat –free mass has been performed using non invasive techniques to predict body fat in both sexes in the different ages. This research work investigates dynamics of subcutaneous fat and its redistribution. Training on this kind of research was part of a fellowship program in the Department of Human Biology at the Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA (1983-1984). Research has been continued through communications and visits thereafter, and resulted in several publications.
Definition, changes and theories of aging have been an increasing topic of research interest. Changes affecting the cardiovascular, the reproductive and nervous systems are of special interest. Studies of aging changes comprised histological techniques, immunohistochemistry and CAT scanning. Cross sectional scans of the human brain of different ages have been investigated to analyze changes in some dimensions declaring the size of the gray mater and brain ventricles. Changes of the structure of the goat aorta (representative of mammals) has been conducted to investigate pattern of ageing in the three layers of the aorta (project of the University of Nairobi).
In collaboration with Munich University, project of studying DNA pattern of Egyptians and Nubians has been conducted in order to trace migration along the River Nile.
Research has been conducted to study the effects of some agents or deprivations on histogenesis or embryogenesis of some tissues and organs.
FELLOWSHIPS AND VISITS ABROAD
