Summary
Art has been a part of the Mayo Clinic since 1914, with numerous pieces donated or commissioned for patient and staff enjoyment. Mayo Clinic Proceedings features a different artwork in each issue, showcasing pieces on campus.
Area of Science:
- Medical Humanities
- Arts in Healthcare
- Clinical Environment Design
Background:
- Art integration at Mayo Clinic dates back to the original building completion in 1914.
- A significant collection of art has been amassed through donations and commissions.
- Art serves to enhance the environment for patients and staff.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the role of art within the Mayo Clinic environment.
- To showcase specific artworks featured in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
- To explore the interpretation of art by authors within a clinical setting.
Main Methods:
- Review of artworks featured in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
- Identification of artworks displayed on Mayo Clinic campuses.
- Author interpretation of selected artworks.
Main Results:
- Mayo Clinic Proceedings regularly features artworks.
- Featured artworks are displayed across Mayo Clinic campuses.
- Authors provide unique interpretations of the displayed art.
Conclusions:
- Art is an integral and long-standing component of the Mayo Clinic experience.
- The journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings actively engages with and promotes the appreciation of art.
- Artistic expression contributes to the healing environment at Mayo Clinic.

MicroRNAs
MicroRNA (miRNA) are short, regulatory RNA transcribed from introns—non-coding regions of a gene—or intergenic regions—stretches of DNA present between genes. Several processing steps are required to form biologically active, mature miRNA. The initial transcript, called primary miRNA (pri-mRNA), base-pairs with itself forming a stem-loop structure. Within the nucleus, an endonuclease enzyme, called Drosha, shortens the stem-loop structure into hairpin-shaped pre-miRNA. After the pre-miRNA ends...

Magnetic Fields
A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the surrounding space, in addition to its electric field. The magnetic field exerts a force on any other moving charge or current that is present in the field. Like an electric field, the magnetic field is also a vector field. At any position, the direction of the magnetic field is defined as the direction in which the north pole of a compass needle points.

Weir
A weir is a hydraulic structure designed to partially obstruct an open channel, enabling precise control and measurement of water flow. By forcing water to flow over or through it, a weir allows for accurate determination of discharge rates, making it an essential tool in water resource management. These structures are extensively used in regulating river flows, irrigation systems, and flood control channels.Types of Weirs and Their FeaturesWeirs are categorized primarily into sharp-crested and...
Magical Thinking
Magical thinking encompasses the belief in assumptions that defy logical reasoning yet appear intuitively convincing. It is a common psychological phenomenon that persists across various cultural and individual contexts. While these assumptions contradict empirical evidence and scientific laws, they often serve meaningful psychological roles in promoting emotional resilience and a sense of control, especially under stress or uncertainty.Thought-Action Fusion and the Law of SimilarityA key...
