You are doing what again?
Human Resource is a career, not many
people outside this field, quite understand. Whenever these professionals talk
of their job, they often get confused glances by their family and friends. It
gets as hard for HR professionals to evolve in their careers and prove their worth
for promotion and new management roles.

business’s cadre of ri...

ASHA Voices: Focusing on What ’s Possible for People with Dementia
What happens when we flip the dementia intervention model from what’s wrong to what can be better?
This week on the podcast, we talk about the difference a strengths-based, person-centered approach can make to patients with dementia and their families. We also consider how a voluntary stuttering approach can help children with fluency issues.
Want to hear more from this episode’s guests? If you are at the 2019 ASHA Convention in Orlando, Florida, you can see two of them: Natalie Douglas and Joe Donaher.
Dementia. The word alone can evoke anxiety, given the toll it can take on families. Because of that, it’s eas...

Controllable Microswimmers Move Around Individual Cells in 3D
Manipulating individual cells and microscopic particles may be extremely valuable for testing new therapies, targeting tumors, and for studying the underlying causes of disease, but it is very difficult to directly manipulate individual cells within an environment shared with other cells.
A collaboration of researchers from University of California San Diego, University of Pennsylvania, and Harbin Institute of Technology in China has developed pretty amazing microscopic devices that can move in 3D and push living cells and other similar sized particles around with unprecedented ease and precision.
The devices ar...

Simple “Hypocrisy Intervention” Reduces Collective Blaming Of Muslims For Extremism, With Long-Lasting Effects

By Emily Reynolds
Log on to Twitter, open a newspaper or turn on the news and you’ll soon see just how prevalent anti-Muslim sentiment is, as well as how likely collective blame is to be placed on the group as a whole for actions perpetrated by a few Islamic extremists. Though American mass shootings are far more likely to be perpetrated by white men than Muslims, collective blame is rarely assigned to that group — instead, they are characterised as “lone wolves”, even when they...

Post-doctoral fellowships in translational neuroscience and neurorehabilitation
Three-year NIH-funded fellowships are available at the Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI), in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania (Penn), for research training in cognitive and motor neuroscience and neurorehabilitation. Available mentors conduct patient-oriented research using behavioral, computational, imaging, electrophysiologic, and electrical and pharmacologic neuromodulation methods. We welcome applications from individuals with a doctorate in psychology, cognitive science, communication science, kinesiology, movement science, or human neuroscience, who wish to learn to apply basic scien...

Why Electronic Health Records Should Be Wikified
Clinical documentation is an inescapable part
of a clinician’s everyday experience. It is one of the “arts” of medicine
rarely formally taught. Instead, most clinicians learn how to write a note in
call rooms and side halls, usually through some hasty teaching by a harried
resident. The clarity that is asked of medical students is too often replaced
by the brevity insisted upon by long hours and heavy workloads.
Electronic health records (EHRs) are
essentially digital recreations of paper charts without leveraging how
technology can be an improvement over paper.
Unfortunately, despite their advances in secur...

How are hospitals supposed to reduce readmissions? Part III
By KIP SULLIVAN, JD
The
Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC) and other proponents of the
Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program (HRRP) justified their support for the
HRRP with the claim that research had already demonstrated how hospitals could
reduce readmissions for all Medicare fee-for-service patients, not just
for groups of carefully selected patients. In this three-part series, I am
reviewing the evidence for that claim.
We saw in Part I and Part II that the research MedPAC cited in its 2007 report to Congress (the report Congress relied on in authorizing the HRRP) contained no studies supporting tha...

Join us as Gabe and Dr. Jessi talk about common sources of psychiatric misinformation, the perils of the supplement industry, how mental health and mental illness are often portrayed incorrectly in the popular media, and why she decided to pursue a very specific type of writing career.

How are hospitals supposed to reduce readmissions? Part II
By KIP SULLIVAN, JD
The
notion that hospitals can reduce readmissions, and that punishing them for
“excess” readmissions will get them to do that, became conventional wisdom
during the 2000s on the basis of very little evidence. The Medicare Payment
Advisory Commission (MedPAC) urged Congress to enact the Hospital Readmissions
Reduction Program (HRRP) beginning in 2007, and in 2010 Congress did so. State
Medicaid programs and private insurers quickly adopted similar programs.
The rapid adoption of readmission-penalty programs without evidence confirming they can work has created widespread concern that these prog...

New Chip for Microwave Imaging of Body
Today’s clinicians are limited to a few imaging modalities, primarily X-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound. Microwaves, in principle, can also be used as a useful way to look inside the body. Microwave radiation is non-ionizing, so should be safer than X-rays, but in practice microwave imagers, because of the electronics inside, have remained bulky tabletop devices. Not only have they been impractical for imaging the body, the electronics inside conventional microwave imagers have suffered from interference.
Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a microwave imaging chip that replaces critical...

A meaningful life
The MIT Technology Review recently published an interview with Ezekiel Emanuel, chair of the University of Pennsylvania’s department of medical ethics and health policy, entitled “A doctor and medical ethicist argues life after 75 is not worth living.” It appears to be a follow-up to a provocative article that Emanuel wrote in The Atlantic five years ago, “Why I … Continue reading "A meaningful life" (Source: blog.bioethics.net)

The Biggest Killer of Creativity
Does the following sound familiar?
You have an idea, and even before it’s fully formed, you realize it’s stupid. It’s lame, and won’t lead to anything, anyway… and with that, your brainstorming session is over.
You hand your latest work to a teacher who points out all the problems—and suddenly, your initial excitement and enthusiasm have evaporated.
You start working on some other creative project, and can’t stop judging it. You can’t stop your inner critic from berating everything about it.
Not surprisingly, in each of these scenarios, your creativity suffers. It takes a nosedive. You get stuck. And your h...

Why Medicare for All Will Not Cure What Ails the Hahnemann
By ASEEM R. SHUKLA, MD
The impending closure of
Hahnemann University Hospital is a local tragedy. Eliminating a 170-year
old institution is certain to exaggerate the daily travails of the economically
disadvantaged inner-city population that Hahnemann serves as a safety-net
hospital. The closure is also a national tragedy. Hospitals are the
towering, visible monuments of our healthcare system, and closings imply that
something insidious ails that very system—that all is not well.
Hospitals are complex
entities with varied financial drivers, and the solution is never simple.
And the mo...

Learning Humanism from Surgeons
Surgeons are not necessarily known for their bedside
manner. The stereotypical surgeon is arrogant and aggressive, is sometimes
wrong but never in doubt, and values holding a scalpel much more than a
patient’s hand. Yet both of us were drawn to the operating room by surgeon role
models who were quite the opposite: caring, humble, steady, and prioritizing
their patients above all else. Now well into residency, we have observed that
most surgeons at our institution fit this latter description much better. And
while they constantly inspire and motivate us, rarely do we have the
opportunity to learn about what inspires and m...
