Compounds Essential to Human Function01:25

Compounds Essential to Human Function

10.1K
The human body is composed of cells that are fundamentally made up of several different molecules. These molecules are essential to carry out all physiological processes in the body and are broadly classified into organic and inorganic based on their chemical structures.
Inorganic Compounds Essential to Human Functioning
Inorganic compounds essential to human functioning include water, salts, acids, and bases. These compounds are inorganic, i.e., they do not have a carbon-hydrogen bond. Water...

Essential Minerals for Bone Health01:31

Essential Minerals for Bone Health

6.2K
The minerals contained in all of the food we consume are essential for our organ systems. However, certain essential minerals, such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, manganese, and fluoride, largely affect bone health.
Calcium and Phosphorus
Calcium is a critical component of bones, especially in the form of calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate. Since the body cannot make calcium, it must be obtained from the diet. However, calcium cannot be absorbed from the small intestine without...

Conservation of Small Populations02:04

Conservation of Small Populations

16.7K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

The Availability Heuristic01:08

The Availability Heuristic

6.9K
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):

Fixed Action Patterns01:06

Fixed Action Patterns

17.6K
A fixed action pattern (FAP) is a specific, hard-wired sequence of behaviors that occurs in response to an external stimulus, called a sign stimulus. The behavior is “fixed” because it is essentially unchangeable—proceeding similarly across individuals of a species every time it occurs.

Bystander Effect02:09

Bystander Effect

10.2K
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.

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

The number of dentist-scientists receiving National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding has declined, with aging researchers and few new investigators. Urgent action is needed to support and expand this critical research workforce.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Medicine and Biomedical Research
  • Oral and Craniofacial Health Sciences
  • Health Professions Workforce Analysis

Background:

  • Advances in dental medicine depend on dentist-scientists conducting patient-inspired research.
  • The biomedical research community, including dentist-scientists, faces significant and growing pressures.
  • These pressures threaten the current and future status of research in dental, oral, and craniofacial diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the size, composition, and activities of the dentist-scientist workforce.
  • To assess trends in National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant applications and awards for dentist-scientists.
  • To identify critical issues threatening the NIH-funded pool of dentist-scientists.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative and qualitative analyses of dentist-scientists were performed by the Physician-Scientist Workforce Working Group.
  • Data from 1999 to 2012 were examined, focusing on grant applications and awards.
  • Comparison was made to other health professions' workforce trends.

Main Results:

  • A decline in NIH grant applications and awards for dentist-scientists was observed from 1999 to 2012.
  • Low numbers of new investigators applying for Early Career NIH Programs were noted.
  • The average age of first-time funded dentists is high (52.7 for females, 54.6 for males), with few applications submitted and funded.

Conclusions:

  • There is a critical need to expand the dentist-scientist workforce capacity.
  • Investment in training mechanisms for clinical research faculty, including those with foreign degrees, is recommended.
  • New alliances and a more supportive culture are essential for the future of dentist-scientist research.
