Hindsight Biases

Hindsight Biases

Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Flashbulb Memory

Flashbulb Memory

A flashbulb memory is a highly vivid and detailed memory, often linked to events of significant emotional impact. These memories stand out in contrast to everyday memories due to their clarity and the precision with which they are recalled. The strong emotions associated with the event act as a catalyst, ensuring that specific details, such as one's location, actions, and even peripheral elements, are etched into memory with remarkable accuracy. For example, many people can vividly recall where...

SI Units: 2019 Redefinition

SI Units: 2019 Redefinition

Measurement is an indispensable part of analytical chemistry. The result of measurement helps quantify a substance's physical property and compare it with the physical property of another substance. Each measurement comprises two components - a number indicating the magnitude and a unit of measurement as a standard for comparison. Further, the same quantity can be measured using different units of measurement, which leads to differences in magnitude.
A standard set of units has been defined to...

Kinetic Energy - II

Kinetic Energy - II

The kinetic energy of a particle is one-half of the product of the particle’s mass and the square of its speed. Note that just as Newton’s second law can be expressed as either the rate of change of momentum or mass multiplied by the rate of change of velocity, so too can the kinetic energy of a particle be expressed in terms of its mass and momentum, instead of its mass and velocity.

Meiosis II

Meiosis II

Meiosis II is the second and final stage of meiosis. It relies on the haploid cells produced during meiosis I, each of which contain only 23 chromosomes—one from each homologous initial pair. Importantly, each chromosome in these cells is composed of two joined copies, and when these cells enter meiosis II, the goal is to separate such sister chromatids using the same microtubule-based network employed in other division processes. The result of meiosis II is two haploid cells, each containing...

Meiosis II

Meiosis II

Meiosis II entails cell division and segregation of the sister chromatids, resulting in the production of four unique haploid gametes. The steps for meiosis II are similar to mitosis, except that meiosis II occurs in haploid cells, whereas mitosis occurs in diploid cells.
The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...

Area of Science:

Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine
Public Health
Biomedical Sciences

Background:

Keeping up with the vast scientific literature on ageing is challenging.
Ageing is a growing research focus across sciences and humanities.
Geriatric medicine encompasses the complexity of ageing and its patient group.

Purpose of the Study:

To review 2012 research relevant to geriatric medicine practice and understanding of ageing.
To extract insights applicable to medical specialties and public health.
To synthesize findings on global ageing, dementia, and multi-morbidity.

Main Methods:

Review of generalist, geriatric medicine, and gerontology journals from 2012.
Extraction of research relevant to geriatric medicine and the ageing process.
Synthesis of studies on global ageing, dementia, microbiome, multi-morbidity, and geriatric syndromes.

Main Results:

New insights into global ageing and the compression of morbidity.
Advances in understanding dementia's nosological, clinical, and therapeutic aspects.
Exploration of the microbiome's role in ageing and epidemiological views on multi-morbidity.
Updates on geriatric syndromes (frailty, elder abuse) and Beers criteria, plus recognition of the longevity dividend.

Conclusions:

Research in 2012 offered significant advancements relevant to geriatric medicine.
Findings impact the understanding of ageing, multi-morbidity, and specific geriatric conditions.
The review underscores the interdisciplinary nature of ageing research and its public health implications.
