Contact Angle01:13

Contact Angle

19.7K
When a solid is dipped inside a liquid, the liquid surface becomes curved near the contact. For some solid–liquid interfaces, the liquid is pulled up along the solid, while for others, the liquid surface is convex or depressed near the solid surface. This phenomenon can be explained using the concept of cohesive and adhesive forces.
The adhesive force is the molecular force between molecules of different materials, that is, between the molecules of the solid and the liquid. The cohesive...

Contact-dependent Signaling01:19

Contact-dependent Signaling

47.0K
Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
Gap Junctions
In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

4.6K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs

9.9K
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA...

Lattice Centering and Coordination Number

11.6K
The structure of a crystalline solid, whether a metal or not, is best described by considering its simplest repeating unit, which is referred to as its unit cell. The unit cell consists of lattice points that represent the locations of atoms or ions. The entire structure then consists of this unit cell repeating in three dimensions. The three different types of unit cells present in the cubic lattice are illustrated in Figure 1.
Types of Unit Cells
Imagine taking a large number of identical...

Summary

Current clinical practice, particularly in neurology, struggles to adequately gather patient data and provide sufficient information. Patient-centered care is often lacking, with technology overshadowing genuine human connection and individual needs.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Practice Evaluation
  • Patient-Centered Care
  • Neurology Clinical Pathways

Background:

  • Current clinical practices face challenges in comprehensive patient data collection and effective communication.
  • The role of clinical pathways is questioned regarding their focus on technology delivery versus actual patient care.
  • Neurology clinics serve as a pertinent example for examining these healthcare delivery issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the capacity of current clinical practice to gather relevant patient data and provide adequate feedback.
  • To evaluate the extent to which clinical pathways facilitate genuine care beyond mere technology provision.
  • To analyze the shortcomings in current patient data gathering and communication within clinical settings.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of clinical practice in a neurology setting.
  • Review of existing clinical pathway structures and their patient interaction components.
  • Assessment of time adequacy for complex clinical and human cases.

    • Main Results:

    • Available clinical time is frequently insufficient for the complexity of patient cases.
    • Current clinical history patterns neglect patient individuality and existential dimensions.
    • Objective evaluations are not consistently calibrated to the patient's symbolic expectations.

    Conclusions:

    • Existing clinical practice patterns are often inefficient and not patient-centric.
    • Artificial intelligence is unlikely to resolve current deficiencies in clinical practice.
    • A re-evaluation of clinical pathways is needed to prioritize genuine patient care and individual needs.
