概括
妇女在哥伦比亚医学期刊中的作者代表性不足,阻碍了学术进步. 这项研究揭示了哥伦比亚所有医学领域的作者持久的性别差异,需要为女性研究人员提供有针对性的支持.
科学领域:
- 医学研究和出版.
- 科学中的性别研究.
- 卫生公平性健康公平性
背景情况:
- 妇女在医学上的参与越来越多,与她们在期刊上作为第一/最后作者的代表性不足形成鲜明对比.
- 这种差异限制了女性的学术和领导力进步,这是低收入和中等收入国家研究不足的问题.
- 以前的研究主要集中在高收入国家,在理解哥伦比亚等地区的作者趋势方面存在差距.
研究的目的:
- 调查哥伦比亚医学和外科期刊的性别分布和作者差异.
- 从低收入和中等收入国家的角度提供关于科学出版物中的性别不平等的证据.
- 为旨在促进医学研究著作权性别平等的干预提供信息.
主要方法:
- 分析了来自54个哥伦比亚医学期刊的6088篇文章,包括那些没有被索引到主要数据库中的文章.
- 包括原始研究,案例报告和评论,以提供全面的概述.
- 检查跨作者职位的性别分布,考虑医学专业化和地理位置.
主要成果:
- 在哥伦比亚,医疗作者持久的性别差异是显而易见的,无论时间,地理或学术领域.
- 妇女作为作者仍然代表性不足,特别是在第一和最后的作者职位上.
- 虽然专业化和位置影响了比例,但作者差距在所有检查的因素中仍然存在.
结论:
- 在哥伦比亚,医疗和外科研究作者的性别差异仍然很大.
- 对于哥伦比亚的女性研究人员来说,迫切需要增加支持和公平的资源分配.
- 解决这些作者不平等问题对于推动哥伦比亚和拉丁美洲医疗行业的性别平等至关重要.

11.1K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

01:29Bias in Epidemiological Studies
148
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:

144.1K
Unlike mitosis, meiosis aims for genetic diversity in its creation of haploid gametes. Dividing germ cells first begin this process in prophase I, where each chromosome—replicated in S phase—is now composed of two sister chromatids (identical copies) joined centrally.
The homologous pairs of sister chromosomes—one from the maternal and one from the paternal genome—then begin to align alongside each other lengthwise, matching corresponding DNA positions in a process...

Alleles are different forms of the same gene. Humans and other diploid organisms inherit two alleles of every gene, one from each parent.

01:19X-linked Traits
53.2K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.
