Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism01:27

Combined Effects of Drugs: Synergism

Synergism is a useful mechanism where combining two or more drugs is more effective than each constituent used alone. Such combinations are also called supra-additive interactions. The drugs collectively enhance the final therapeutic effect by acting on different targets. Another advantage is that the low dose of each constituent drug is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. This helps reduce the duration of therapy and lower the adverse effects of these drugs.
Such synergistic combinations...
Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine02:50

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...

Community Based Intervention01:30

Community Based Intervention

Community-based interventions in mental health represent a paradigm shift from institution-centered care to treatments embedded within the fabric of local communities. By prioritizing inclusion and leveraging existing societal structures, this approach fosters a supportive environment conducive to addressing mental health challenges while promoting individual dignity and agency.
Foundations of Community Mental Health Programs
Central to the success of community-based interventions is the...
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I01:21

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II01:18

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    This study shows how a medical school increased underrepresented minority (URM) enrollment in doctoral programs. Combining National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants like Bridges to the Doctorate (BRIDGES) and Initiative for Maximizing Graduate Student Diversity (IMGSD) improved URM scientist training.

    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Sciences
    • Graduate Education
    • Diversity in Research

    Background:

    • Long-standing concern exists regarding the low number of African American, Latino, and Native American researchers in the biomedical field.
    • Projected shortages of these underrepresented minority (URM) scientists are anticipated due to global and U.S. demographic shifts.
    • Increasing access to graduate education is crucial for addressing this disparity.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe multi-pathway strategies used by a Midwest urban medical school to boost URM enrollment and graduation in basic science doctoral programs.
    • To detail the synergistic implementation of National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded programs: Bridges to the Doctorate (BRIDGES) and Initiative for Maximizing Graduate Student Diversity (IMGSD).
    • To identify effective intervention components for institutions aiming to diversify the biomedical research pipeline.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a combination of R25 grants and other NIH-funded programs.
    • Implemented a synergistic approach linking the BRIDGES and IMGSD programs.
    • Documented institutional gains in URM student enrollment and graduation rates.

    Main Results:

    • The institution successfully increased the number of URM students in doctoral programs.
    • The synergistic approach demonstrated positive outcomes in URM scientist training.
    • Specific institutional gains were documented, highlighting the effectiveness of the intervention.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined R25 grants and NIH-funded programs (BRIDGES, IMGSD) effectively increased URM representation in biomedical doctoral programs.
    • Synergistic linkages between training programs are key to enhancing URM scientist development.
    • The described institutional strategies offer a valuable model for other institutions seeking to diversify their biomedical research workforce.
