Requirements for Human Life01:26

Requirements for Human Life

14.1K
The Earth and its atmosphere have provided humans with air, water, and food, but these are not the only requirements for survival. Humans also require a specific range of temperature and pressure that the Earth and its atmosphere provides.
Oxygen
Atmospheric air is only about 20 percent oxygen, but that oxygen is a key component of the chemical reactions that keep the body alive, including the reactions that produce ATP. Brain cells are susceptible to a lack of oxygen because they require a...

Bernoulli's Principle: Applications01:17

Bernoulli's Principle: Applications

6.8K
There are many devices and situations in which fluid flows at a constant height and so can be analyzed using Bernoulli's principle. These devices include, but are not limited to, entrainment devices and fluid flow measuring devices.
Entrainment devices use a high fluid speed to create low pressures and, thus, entrain one fluid into another. Some examples of these devices are given below:

Physiological Pharmacokinetic Models: Blood Flow-Limited Versus Diffusion-Limited Models

353
Physiological pharmacokinetic models, often called flow-limited or perfusion models, typically assume a swift drug distribution between tissue and venous blood, creating a rapid drug equilibrium. This premise is based on the idea that drug diffusion is extremely fast, and the cell membrane presents no barrier to drug permeation. In this scenario, where no drug binding occurs, the drug concentration in the tissue equals that of the venous blood leaving the tissue. This greatly simplifies the...

Design Example: Application of Archimedes' Principle

886
Archimedes' principle is fundamental in analyzing the buoyant force and stability of floating bodies. In this example, a wooden block with a rectangular section floats in seawater. Based on the block's dimensions, its specific gravity and the specific weight of seawater are used to find the volume of water displaced and the center of buoyancy.
The volume of seawater displaced by the block is determined by first calculating the block's weight. This is done by multiplying the...

Cognitive Dissonance01:38

Cognitive Dissonance

37.5K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells01:19

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

3.3K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Physiology
  • Clinical Decision-Making

Background:

  • The current education system inadequately equips clinicians with fundamental physiological knowledge.
  • An overemphasis on reductionist research, including "omics" fields, has diminished understanding of core physiological principles.
  • This deficit hinders clinicians' ability to consistently link clinical decisions to the best available physiological evidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the problem of clinicians' limited understanding of physiological principles.
  • To explore solutions for improving evidence-based clinical decision-making.
  • To investigate the potential of technology in enhancing medical practice.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of the current medical education system's shortcomings.
  • Identification of cognitive limitations affecting clinical decision-making.
  • Proposal of context-sensitive computer protocols for personalized medicine.

Main Results:

  • Clinicians' understanding of core physiological principles is insufficient.
  • Reductionist science approaches have contributed to this knowledge gap.
  • Cognitive limitations impact clinical judgment and evidence linkage.
  • Personalized medicine instructions from computer protocols show promise.

Conclusions:

  • The education system requires reform to strengthen clinicians' grasp of physiology.
  • Technological solutions, such as personalized computer protocols, can aid clinicians in making evidence-based decisions.
  • Addressing cognitive limitations is crucial for improving patient care and clinical outcomes.
