Obedience

35.7K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Bystander Effect

10.3K
The discussion of bullying highlights the problem of witnesses not intervening to help a victim. This is a common occurrence, as the following well-publicized event demonstrates. In 1964, in Queens, New York, a 19-year-old woman named Kitty Genovese was attacked by a person with a knife near the back entrance to her apartment building and again in the hallway inside her apartment building. When the attack occurred, she screamed for help numerous times and eventually died from her stab wounds.

Amyloid Fibrils03:03

Amyloid Fibrils

12.0K
Amyloid fibrils are aggregates of misfolded proteins.  Under most circumstances, misfolded proteins are either refolded by chaperone proteins or degraded by the proteasome. However, in the case of a mutation or a disease, these proteins can accumulate to form large clusters and often further assemble to form elongated fibers, called fibrils. 
Amyloid deposits were observed as early as 1639 in the liver and the spleen.   In 1854, Rudolph Virchow performed iodine staining,...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.5K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • A 31-year-old asthmatic patient received intravenous metamizole and tramadol for chronic pain management.
    • The administration occurred in a general practitioner's surgery setting.

    Observation:

    • The patient experienced acute respiratory distress shortly after the infusion began.
    • Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, and the patient demised.
    • Initial suspicion fell upon the general practitioner for alleged medical malpractice.

    Findings:

    • Medico-legal investigations definitively concluded that the cause of death was anaphylactic shock.
    • Despite a temporary intubation into the esophagus, no evidence of medical malpractice was established.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the critical importance of recognizing and managing anaphylaxis in outpatient settings.
    • It underscores the need for vigilance regarding potential severe adverse drug reactions, even with commonly prescribed medications.
    • The investigation process emphasizes the thoroughness required in medico-legal evaluations of patient deaths.
