Summary
The International Donor Collaborative Project (PCID) developed widely used questionnaires for organ donation attitudes. Their research, including psycho-social analyses, now spans multiple continents.
Area of Science:
- Transplantation research
- Psycho-social studies
- Public health
Background:
- Established in Spain in 1996, the International Donor Collaborative Project (PCID) group aimed to advance organ donation and transplantation research.
- The group has developed and validated widely utilized questionnaires assessing attitudes toward cadaver and live organ donation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To promote research in organ donation and transplantation.
- To conduct stratified, representative population studies.
- To perform multivariate statistical analyses in psycho-social research related to organ donation.
Main Methods:
- Development of validated questionnaires on donation attitudes.
- Stratified sampling for population-representative studies.
- Multivariate statistical analysis of psycho-social factors.
Main Results:
- PCID questionnaires are highly cited in indexed journal publications.
- Key research contributions focus on health professionals and migrant groups' donation attitudes.
- International expansion of studies to the US, Latin America, and Europe.
Conclusions:
- The PCID group has significantly contributed to psycho-social research in organ donation and transplantation.
- Their validated instruments and methodologies are influential in the field.
- Ongoing international collaborations extend the reach and impact of their research.

16.7K
Learning to draw Fischer projections of molecules and understanding their relevance plays a crucial role in the visual depiction of organic molecules. A Fischer projection is a two-dimensional projection on a planar surface to simplify the three-dimensional wedge–dash representation of molecules. This is especially helpful in the case of molecules with multiple chiral centers that can be difficult to draw. Here, all the bonds of interest are represented as horizontal or vertical lines. While...

02:00Internal Energy
36.9K
The total of all possible kinds of energy present in a substance is called the internal energy (U), sometimes symbolized as E. Suppose a system with initial internal energy, Uinitial, undergoes a change in energy (transfer of work or heat), and the final internal energy of the system is Ufinal. Change in internal energy equals the difference between Ufinal and Uinitial.

7.2K
The internal energy of a thermodynamic system is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of all the molecules or entities in the system. The kinetic energy of an individual molecule includes contributions due to its rotation and vibration, as well as its translational energy. The potential energy is associated only with the interactions between one molecule and the other molecules of the system. Neither the system's location nor its motion is of any consequence as far as the internal...

74.8K
Many cellular signals are hydrophilic and therefore cannot pass through the plasma membrane. However, small or hydrophobic signaling molecules can cross the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane and bind to internal, or intracellular, receptors that reside within the cell. Many mammalian steroid hormones use this mechanism of cell signaling, as does nitric oxide (NO) gas.

Different notations are used to represent the three-dimensional structure of molecules on two-dimensional surfaces. One of the most commonly used representations is the dash-wedge formula. The dashed wedges, solid wedges, and the plane lines indicate the groups situated behind the plane, coming out of the plane, and in the plane, respectively.
