How the brain responds to art
Students and staff of VNMU had a great opportunity to attend a lecture by a prominent scientist, appreciated art and expert in a wide range of disciplines – Belgian art historian and neuroscientist Professor Jan de Mayer: “Bruegel, Bosch and our neurons: how the brain works.”
Professor Jan de Mayer arrived to Vinnytsia at the invitation of the mayor of Vinnytsia and with the assistance of the city marketing and tourism department, got acquainted with the sights of the city, such as the VNMU Museum and Art Museum, an excursion was conducted by the Medical University – anatomical museum and experimental laboratories.
Jan de Mayer’s research focuses on the study of the physiology of the brain and the emotions of a person who contemplates art. The scientist told why the works of Bosch, Bruegel, Rubens, Monet and other artists are recognized as masterpieces around the world. He explained why these pictures stand out from each other and cause an explosion of emotions and what happens in our brains as we look at them. The audience learned that it awakens the imagination, intuition, cognitive perception, knowledge, critical thinking and makes us realize: we have a real work of art before us.
School of clinical cases in Munich
For the second time, the Munich International Case Study School (ICDSS 2019) was held with the participation of students of Vinnytsia National Medical University. Every year Weill Cornell Medical College and two German universities (Technical University of Munich, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) organize a summer school in Munich where students from Germany, the United States and Ukraine practice clinical cases under the guidance of experienced teachers.
In 2019, the school was held from September 30 to October 11, and it’s participants were two students of VNMU: Marina Pisartsova (6th year) and Anastasia Sotnik (5th year). Within 2 weeks 20 clinical cases were discussed by 20 students from Germany, 10 students from the USA and 4 students from Ukraine. The discussion was moderated by teachers and doctors from the US and Germany.
The CDR (Case Discussion Rouns) format is widely used in higher education institutions in the US and Europe and is aimed at developing the clinical thinking skills of senior students and interns.
The basis is a discussion of a real clinical case described in the New England Journal of Medicine, which provides information to students on a dosage basis, as it would come in real communication with a patient. The main difficulty and advantage of the CDR format is the students’ discussion in English of differential diagnostics with detailed analysis of laboratory, instrumental data and explanation of mechanisms.

Achievements of the scientist of our university Prof. Ocheredka
Alexander Ocheredko, MD, Professor, Head. Dep. social medicine and health care organization Vinnytsia National Medical University has developed a new methodology for estimating power / volume observations based on MSMC samplers and bootstrap procedure (MCMC Bootstrap Based Approach to Power / Sample Size Evaluation).
Traditionally, the power/volume of observations has been based on a complex link between first and second-order errors, the volume and distribution of test statistics that served only simple, far-from-reality designs and relevant hypotheses.
New features of the methodology:
Inclusion of data generation mechanism based on MSMS samplers
Power estimation by bootstrap procedure
Important new features of the author’s methodology:
Testing of any hypothesis or even their combinations with the support of modern complex designs
Use of effective tests (which reproduce the informative data matrix)
Hypothesis analysis is possible by interval estimation instead of traditional point estimation
