Resistance01:19

Resistance

4.6K
When a current moves through any conductor, the conductor causes some level of difficulty for the current to flow. The measure of that difficulty is known as the resistance of the material and is represented by R. Every material has its own resistance. In the case of conductors, heat is emitted whenever a current passes through them. Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material. Resistivity is a characteristic of the material used to fabricate electrical components, whereas the...

Ohm's Law01:19

Ohm's Law

1.2K
Resistors are fundamental components in electrical circuits, often manufactured from metallic alloys or carbon compounds. They model a material's ability to resist the flow of electric current, a characteristic that is crucial in controlling and regulating electrical power within a circuit.
This current-resisting behavior of resistors is governed by Ohm's law, which states that the voltage across a resistor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.

Resistivity01:22

Resistivity

3.6K
When a voltage is applied to a conductor, an electrical field is generated, and charges in the conductor feel the force due to the electrical field. The current density that results depends on the electrical field and the properties of the material. In some materials, including metals at a given temperature, the current density is approximately proportional to the electrical field. In these cases, the current density can be modeled as:

Obedience01:08

Obedience

33.1K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Persuasion Strategies01:52

Persuasion Strategies

39.5K
Researchers have tested many persuasion strategies, including the foot-in-the door and the door-in-the-face techniques, in a variety of contexts. Ultimately, the principles are effective in selling products and changing people’s attitude, ideas, and behaviors (Cialdini & Goldstein, 2004).

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.4K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Medical Innovation Studies
  • Technology Implementation Science

Background:

  • Medical technology advancement is not linear and often encounters significant implementation challenges.
  • Resistance to new medical technologies varies from passive inertia to active opposition.
  • External factors like politicization, marketing pressures, and vested interests impede adoption.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the introduction, implementation, and opposition of various technological advances in medicine.
  • To identify the diverse forms and drivers of resistance to healthcare innovations.
  • To understand the impact of external influences on the adoption of new medical technologies.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative comparative analysis of numerous technological advances.
  • Evaluation of implementation processes and resistance patterns.
  • Examination of factors influencing the adoption and obstruction of medical innovations.

Main Results:

  • Resistance to medical technology implementation is variable, ranging from benign inertia to active, sometimes inappropriate, opposition.
  • Politicization of public health, private sector marketing, and vested interests significantly hinder technological progress.
  • Methods exist to suppress or delay the dissemination of new scientific findings and technologies.

Conclusions:

  • Overcoming multifaceted resistance is essential for timely medical technology implementation.
  • Addressing external pressures and internal obstructions is critical for leveraging innovations.
  • Proactive strategies are needed to integrate new technologies and advance medical care capabilities.
