Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

93.1K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

6.7K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Ethics in Research

24.9K
Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.3K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Bias in Epidemiological Studies01:29

Bias in Epidemiological Studies

892
Biases can arise at various stages of research, from study design and data collection to analysis and interpretation. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential to ensure the validity and reliability of epidemiological findings.Broadly speaking, biases in epidemiology fall into three main categories: selection bias, information bias, and confounding. A more detailed description of possible biases is:

Surveys02:16

Surveys

16.2K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Summary

Race is a social determinant of health, not a biological cause of disease. Due to scientific racism, race should be excluded from medical student oral presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Health Disparities
  • Social Determinants of Health

Background:

  • Medical students are trained to present patient demographics, including age and gender, but the inclusion of race is debated.
  • Epidemiology shows race as a social determinant of health can be a disease risk factor.
  • Race is a social construct, not a biological determinant of disease.

Discussion:

  • The historical misuse of science and scientific racism in the USA complicates the relationship between race and health.
  • Persistent issues of scientific racism necessitate careful consideration in medical practice and education.
  • Excluding race from oral presentations addresses the complexities of its social, rather than biological, implications.

Key Insights:

  • Race is a significant social determinant of health, influencing disease risk.
  • Scientific racism has historically impacted health outcomes and research.
  • The abstract argues against including race in medical presentations due to its complex social construct and historical misuse.

Outlook:

  • Re-evaluating standard medical education practices regarding patient demographics.
  • Promoting a more nuanced understanding of social determinants of health.
  • Addressing systemic issues of racism within scientific and medical communities.
