The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses01:22

Diversity in Cell Signaling Responses

6.5K
The physiological function of a cell and cellular communication are outcomes of a range of extrinsic signals, intracellular signaling pathways, and cellular responses. No two cell types express the same repertoire of signaling components. Receptors are highly selective for their cognate ligands, but once activated, they can alter multiple cellular processes such as DNA transcription, protein synthesis, and metabolic activity. 
Graded and Abrupt Responses
Some signaling systems generate...

Aneurysm III: Interprofessional Care

15
Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended.

Neuroplasticity01:01

Neuroplasticity

641
Neuroplasticity reflects the brain's remarkable capacity to adapt and evolve, responding dynamically to learning, experiences, or injury by reorganizing its neural circuitry. This reorganization involves creating new neural connections and refining old ones through a series of biological processes that contribute to the brain's lifelong development and adaptability.

Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.
Historical Development of Psychosurgery
In the 1930s, Portuguese neurologist Antonio Egas Moniz introduced a surgical procedure designed...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Neurosurgery Workforce Diversity
  • Undergraduate Recruitment

Background:

  • Neurosurgery residency has critically low representation of women and underrepresented racial and ethnic minorities (UREM).
  • Diversifying the neurosurgical workforce requires earlier engagement with UREM students.
  • The "Future Leaders in Neurosurgery Symposium for Underrepresented Students" (FLNSUS) was developed to address this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of the FLNSUS on undergraduate students' perceptions of neurosurgery.
  • To evaluate the symposium's effectiveness in increasing self-confidence, exposure to the specialty, and reducing perceived career barriers for UREM students.

Main Methods:

  • A virtual symposium (FLNSUS) was conducted for undergraduate students.
  • Pre- and post-symposium surveys were administered to measure changes in participant perceptions.
  • A nonparametric sign test was used to analyze paired survey responses from 124 participants.

Main Results:

  • Participants reported significantly increased familiarity with neurosurgery (p < 0.001).
  • Self-confidence in pursuing a neurosurgical career significantly increased (p = 0.014).
  • Exposure to neurosurgeons from diverse backgrounds significantly improved (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • The FLNSUS significantly improved student perceptions and exposure to neurosurgery.
  • Virtual educational events can effectively promote diversity in neurosurgery.
  • Diversifying the neurosurgical workforce is anticipated to enhance research, cultural humility, and patient care.
