Clinical Anatomy 27:145 (2014)
EDITORIAL
“Anatomy is the War Map for the Operations of the Physician” R. SHANE TUBBS* Editor-in-Chief Clinical Anatomy, Birmingham, Alabama
This issue of Clinical Anatomy begins with a salient commentary from Dr. Braun on whether or not medical schools across the country are teaching enough anatomy to future physicians. As one of our historical articles, Dr. Carmichael reviews the life and contributions of Langer and his “lines”, which are of surgical significance. Drs. Voirol and Vilensky provide us with a welcomed review on orbital pain and the potential anatomy associated with this pathology. A video summary of this paper can also be found on our homepage. Lastly, I am sure that our readers will enjoy the paper from Dr. Walusinski on the potential connection between yawning and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
As a pioneer of clinical anatomy, the Austrian pathologist Emil Zuckerkandl (1849–1910) is credited with the statement, “Anatomy is the war map for the operations of the physician” (Shoja et al., 2008). It is this philosophy that continues to motivate us as clinical anatomists both in our teaching and research.
