Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.3K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Factorial Design02:01

Factorial Design

14.0K
Factorial Analysis is an experimental design that applies Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical procedures to examine a change in a dependent variable due to more than one independent variable, also known as factors. Changes in worker productivity can be reasoned, for example, to be influenced by salary and other conditions, such as skill level. One way to test this hypothesis is by categorizing salary into three levels (low, moderate, and high) and skills sets into two levels (entry level...

Routes of Persuasion02:20

Routes of Persuasion

68.7K
Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Immunomodulators, including immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive drugs, offer new topical therapies for skin diseases. These agents, like toll-like receptor agonists and calcineurin inhibitors, show promise beyond traditional corticosteroids.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Immunomodulators encompass both immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive agents.
  • Obligate contact sensitizers and topical immunosuppressants have established roles in treating various skin conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current landscape and future potential of topical immunomodulators in dermatology.
  • To highlight the role of toll-like receptor agonists and calcineurin inhibitors as alternatives and supplements to corticosteroids.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of topical immunomodulatory agents.
  • Analysis of clinical applications and therapeutic outcomes of specific immunomodulators.
  • Discussion of the emerging role of novel agents in dermatological treatment paradigms.

Main Results:

  • Toll-like receptor agonists (e.g., imiquimod, resiquimod) are effective for viral infections and skin cancers.
  • Topical calcineurin inhibitors (e.g., tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) are successful in treating chronic inflammatory skin diseases.
  • These agents represent a significant advancement, marking a 'post-cortisone era' in dermatology.

Conclusions:

  • Topical immunotherapy with immunostimulatory and immunosuppressive agents offers effective, patient-friendly treatment options for inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic skin diseases.
  • Toll-like receptor agonists and calcineurin antagonists are valuable additions to the dermatological armamentarium, complementing corticosteroids.
  • Further long-term studies are necessary to fully establish the safety and tolerability profiles of these novel immunomodulators.
