True Stress and True Strain01:28

True Stress and True Strain

835
Engineering stress is calculated as the load divided by the original, undeformed cross-sectional area. It approximates a material under load. This approximation is especially relevant post-yield in ductile materials. Though engineering stress-strain diagrams are often used for their convenience and accessibility, they can sometimes fall short in accuracy, particularly when dealing with large strain values.
In contrast, true stress offers a more precise portrayal. It is computed by dividing the...

In- and Out-Groups01:31

In- and Out-Groups

43.7K
People all belong to a gender, race, age, and social economic group. These groups provide a powerful source of our identity and self-esteem (Tajfel & Turner, 1979) and serve as our in-groups. An in-group is a group that we identify with or see ourselves as belonging to.

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

7.0K
A heuristic is a general problem-solving framework (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). You can think of these as mental shortcuts that are used to solve problems. Different types of heuristics are used in different types of situations, and the impulse to use a heuristic occurs when one of five conditions is met (Pratkanis, 1989):

Uncertainty in Measurement: Accuracy and Precision

100.9K
Scientists typically make repeated measurements of a quantity to ensure the quality of their findings and to evaluate both the precision and the accuracy of their results. Measurements are said to be precise if they yield very similar results when repeated in the same manner. A measurement is considered accurate if it yields a result that is very close to the true or the accepted value. Precise values agree with each other; accurate values agree with a true value.

Hardy-Weinberg Principle01:49

Hardy-Weinberg Principle

76.2K
Diploid organisms have two alleles of each gene, one from each parent, in their somatic cells. Therefore, each individual contributes two alleles to the gene pool of the population. The gene pool of a population is the sum of every allele of all genes within that population and has some degree of variation. Genetic variation is typically expressed as a relative frequency, which is the percentage of the total population that has a given allele, genotype or phenotype.

Groupthink01:34

Groupthink

50.1K
When in group settings, we are often influenced by the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors around us. Groupthink is another phenomenon of conformity where modification of the opinions of members in a group aligns with what they believe is the group consensus (Janis, 1972). In such situations, the group often takes action that individuals would not perform outside the group setting because groups make more extreme decisions than individuals do. Moreover, groupthink can hinder opposing trains of...

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Men's Health
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Lower urinary tract symptoms suggestive of benign prostatic hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) is a prevalent condition in men over 50.
  • Despite established guidelines, misconceptions regarding LUTS/BPH terminology and pathophysiology are common, leading to potential malpractice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and address prevalent false assumptions about benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
  • To clarify the correct terminology and pathophysiology of LUTS/BPH.

Main Methods:

  • A critical review of 12 selected 'fake news' articles identified through a PubMed search.
  • Analysis focused on debunking common myths related to BPH.

Main Results:

  • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) does not progress in stages; traditional staging classifications are outdated.
  • Prostate size has a weak, inconsistent correlation with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), making it unreliable for diagnosis.
  • Current BPH medications and transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) techniques may not fully address BOO as previously assumed.

Conclusions:

  • Persistent use of incorrect BPH terminology and pathophysiology stems from a lack of guideline implementation.
  • Factors contributing to this include insufficient knowledge, individual beliefs, cost, and a greater focus on oncology over BPH education.
