Microorganisms play a fundamental role in vaccine development, gene therapy, and therapeutic production. Their biological properties are harnessed to advance medicine and public health. Beyond immunization, microorganisms contribute to gut health, antibiotic synthesis, and genetic disease treatment.Live Attenuated and Inactivated VaccinesLive attenuated vaccines, such as the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, utilize weakened forms of pathogens to closely resemble natural infections.

Focusing of Light in the Eye01:16

Focusing of Light in the Eye

6.0K
Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...

Coping Strategies: Problem Focused

518
Coping strategies are methods people use to manage, tolerate, or reduce the effects of stressors. These strategies involve both behavioral and psychological actions to handle stressful situations. One common approach is problem-focused coping, which aims to change or eliminate the source of stress rather than merely addressing its consequences. This method involves taking direct action to resolve the issue causing stress.
For example, consider a student who struggles to understand their...

Combination Therapies and Personalized Medicine

6.2K
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...

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused01:20

Coping Strategies: Emotion Focused

534
Emotion-focused coping refers to a set of strategies aimed at managing the emotional impact of stressors, rather than directly addressing their causes. This approach involves altering one's emotional response to stressful situations to reduce their psychological effects. For example, individuals might talk with a friend or engage in activities like journaling to express their feelings. Such actions can help achieve emotional clarity or release, providing the psychological stability needed...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Point of care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly vital for managing acutely unwell patients.
  • Focused Acute Medicine Ultrasound (FAMUS) is a specialized standard for Acute Medicine physicians.
  • FAMUS is recognized as a specialist skill by relevant medical bodies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a curriculum mapping exercise for integrating FAMUS into Acute Internal Medicine (AIM) training.
  • To establish a standard for focused ultrasound training within AIM programs.
  • To advocate for FAMUS as a core skill for all AIM trainees.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a 'knowledge, skills and behaviours' framework.
  • Incorporated the General Medical Council's (GMC) 'Good Medical Practice' (GMP) domains.
  • Conducted a curriculum mapping exercise for ultrasound training.

Main Results:

  • Developed a framework for standardizing FAMUS training.
  • Provided a basis for integrating focused ultrasound into AIM curricula.
  • Identified FAMUS as a key skill for AIM trainees.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed curriculum mapping provides a standard for FAMUS integration in AIM training.
  • Standardizing FAMUS training will enhance the management of acutely unwell patients.
  • FAMUS should be considered a core skill for all Acute Internal Medicine trainees.
