    1. Bias Blind Spot: The tendency to see oneself as less biased than other people, or to be able to identify more cognitive biases in others than in oneself.

      citation

    1. Hospice programs provide comprehensive care to dying patients, with a multidisciplinary team of nurses, physicians, social workers, clergy, and volunteers. These programs, which accept only patients who are more likely than not to die in the next 6 months and are willing to forgo disease-directed therapies and hospitalizations, help patients and their families live as fully as possible by providing quality palliative care.

      .

    2. The advantage of hospice programs is the expertise brought to techniques of palliative care by the multidisciplinary staff, as well as the added support for patient and family at home, including payment for palliative medications and medical equipment.

      .

    3. Unlike Medicare-sponsored hospice programs, palliative care does not require patients to give up on aggressive treatment of their underlying disease, to accept a prognosis of less than 6 months, or to accept palliation as the central goal of therapy. Thus, it allows “hospice-like” treatments to be made available to those seriously ill patients who want to continue some or all disease-directed treatments.

      .

    4. This “both/and” approach has been one of the most important conceptual breakthroughs for palliative care, for it allows quality-of-life issues to be addressed for all seriously ill patients, not just those who are referred to hospice.

    5. CASE ILLUSTRATION 1 Ella, a 71-year-old woman

      Ella has a chest film and expects lung cancer. She has lung tumor and states that if she becomes too ill, she wants to stop treatment. She receives DNR and is referred to hospice where the main goal is to relieve her suffering.

    6. Enhancing the quality of life for those afflicted with serious chronic illness is the cornerstone of the rapidly developing specialty of palliative care.

      .

    1. Patients with undetected trauma histories are often seen as “difficult” or “hostile,” frequently are late or miss appointments, are often in crisis, have poor self-care, and chronic pain. Such patients also may be labeled as “noncompliant,” with seemingly intractable health behavior problems.

      .

    2. When trauma-focused psychotherapy is not available, national guidelines recommend pharmacotherapy, in particular sertraline, paroxetine, fluoxetine, or venlafaxine as first-line monotherapies.

    3. Other primary prevention strategies for primary care practices include support for new parents, support for home visiting programs, and universal preschool options, and firearm access reduction.

      .

    4. In addition to risk reduction strategies, characteristics that promote resilience in survivors such as self-esteem, trust, humor, internal locus of control, secure attachments, and social relationships, as well as a personal sense of safety, religious affiliation, strong adult role models, and use of existing resources can be reinforced by primary care clinicians.

      .

    5. Unlike recent trauma, disclosures of past trauma do not require an immediate intervention. Rather, clinicians can express empathy (“I’m so sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve that”) and provide information about the availability of services to help cope with and heal from past trauma (“I am available to talk more with you about that.

      .

    6. An appropriate response to recent IPV affirms that the patient does not deserve to be treated in this way and expresses concern for his/her safety. It also typically also includes a “warm handoff” to a domestic violence agency by telephone and/or to an onsite psychosocial team member who can construct a safety plan; lethality assessment, referrals for safe housing, legal, police, and other community resources; individual and/or group therapy; and peer support.

      .

    7. PTSD symptoms are grouped into four distinct clusters: re-experiencing the trauma (memories, nightmares, flashbacks), avoidance (emotional/cognitive vs. situational), negative changes in thinking/mood (not remembering aspects of the trauma, changes in beliefs about self/others/the world, self/other-oriented blame, persistent negative emotions, anhedonia, isolation, difficulty experiencing positive emotions), and arousal (sleep disturbances, irritability/anger outbursts, exaggerated startle, hypervigilance, attentional disruption, self-destructive behavior).

      .

    8. When referrals are not available for your patients, primary care clinicians can be reasonably confident in their diagnosis of posttraumatic symptomatology and need for trauma-focused treatment referral when a patient:

      .

    9. Patients with trauma exposure commonly present to primary care and other settings with seemingly unrelated acute or chronic physical and mental health conditions at much higher rates than patients without trauma exposure.

      .

    10. Techniques described by Dr. Leigh Kimberg as the “Four C’s” can help prepare you to inquire about, and respond to, recent or past trauma:

      Four C's

    11. Examples of patient education include: posters and flyers in the waiting area, brief informational pamphlets given to patients when taking their vital signs, and invite conversations as part of routine practice and/or when trauma-related conditions are discussed.

      .

    12. Demographic factors such as female gender, age, socioeconomic status, and African American race often are thought of as nonmodifiable risk factors, but it is increasingly clear that societal response to race, gender, or age, and the resultant chronic stress, may create the actual risk in these populations.

      .

    13. More than one-third of U.S. women experience stalking, physical violence, and/or rape from an intimate partner during their lifetimes. One in five men experiences sexual violence in their lifetimes.

      .

    14. Individuals who reported four or more ACE categories had 2 times the rates of lung and liver disease, 3 times the rate of depression, 3 times the rate of alcoholism, 11 times the rate of intravenous drug use, and 14 times the rate of attempting suicide than those who reported ACE scores of 0.

      .

    15. The study revealed a strong dose–response relationship between childhood trauma and adult heart, lung, and liver disease; depression; substance abuse; obesity; diabetes; sexually transmitted infection risk; and intimate partner violence (IPV).

      .

    16. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) defines trauma as “an event, series of events, or set of circumstances that is experienced by an individual as physically or emotionally harmful or threatening and that has lasting adverse effects.”

    1. Given the available collected data [...], how should [funders] measure the impact on wellbeing? [...] What measures of well-being should charities, NGOs, and RCTs collect for impact analysis?

      Let's split up the answer boxes within this question to ask separately about the best use of currently collected data for these cases, and also ask what data should be collected in the future.

    2. How reliable is the WELLBY measure [...] relative to other available measures in the 'wellbeing space'? How much insight is lost by using WELLBY and when will it steer us wrong?

      signpost more that we are talking about the very simple use of the WELLBY measure

    1. The ability to producenovice teachers who are resilient and persistent in the face of the complex problemsencountered in todayís schools is a goal to which every teacher education programaspires.

      More than just educationally, but also in society. If educators are unable to model resiliency and persistence, the question arises: how will the next generation learn those qualities? It is our responsibility as educators to push the next generation to be greater than we are today.

    2. Both teachers spoke of their new positions as being an excellent fit for them

      In my opinion, an educator's fit for the given role or school is not discussed nearly enough. If a person is not comfortable in some part of their occupational arena, the year can become a treacherous experience. A belief exists that one should be comfortable being uncomfortable. While that is aspirational, at some point one has to embrace something as comfortable if nothing else to have confidence that tomorrow is a new day.

    3. All three left theirpositions because of the perceived lack of administrative support and the failure ofthese schools to attend to the needs of their students.

      Leadership in education is the secret sauce. In my time in the classroom, I’ve seen good teachers leave the classroom altogether because of questionable leadership. With that said, I’ve seen people who may not have been at the top of their class in education be brought under the umbrella of great leaders and have their entire perspective changed.

    4. Chandraís desire to continue teaching at this school despite the overwhelmingchallenges she faced might have to do with a strong sense of personal mission, whichwas linked to her twin sisterís work as a volunteer with homeless women as well asher family ethos

      Chandra’s experiences are heartbreaking. She is the type of fighter that needs to be in education. Chandra’s lack of behavioral management is tough because she wants to give back so badly that she closes her eyes to problematic behaviors and the methods needed to fix them. She is the type of person who could potentially figure it out with time or when paired with a disciplinarian co-teacher. She also sounds like the type of person who could burn out very quickly. She could really go either way. In my opinion she has to find her niche’ and exhaust all options to accentuate those to her advantage. It may turn into a situatuation where she has to fake it till she makes it.

    5. Sally noted that one day of her teacher induction program was very goodbecause she got to share a bad situation she had with a student with her mentor group

      Everyone loves success stories, but humbling dialogues with your mentor or other educators about reflecting on negative endeavors are where true growth arises.

      While reading this article, I was impressed by the choice of an architect as a professional stand-in for appraisal theory and archival appraisal. Terry Cook could’ve picked any profession really but an architect is such a great choice in relation to macro-appraisal because of how broad an architects social and physical dynamics and interactions can be and also how varied the purpose of a architect’s design can be. It really seems like the perfect choice for this subject and I kind of got hung up in the second part of this article trying to think of a comparable or better example that wouldn’t necessarily overlap with an architect directly. A novelist? Some sort of mass transit (commercial plane, train, bus, etc.) designer? It’s tough to come up with a topic that suits this subject as well as an architect.

    1. NSC114792, a novel small molecule identified through structure-based computational database screening, selectively inhibits JAK3

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC2830973

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional

      Justification: Oncogenic: The variant JAK3V674A is described as an activating allele that transforms BaF3 cells to IL-3-independent growth, indicating its role in promoting oncogenic processes. Functional: The study demonstrates that JAK3V674A leads to increased viability of BaF3 cells in the absence of IL-3, and that inhibition of JAK3 activity by NSC114792 decreases cell viability, showing a functional consequence of the variant.

    1. Mutant Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 Induces Intracellular Signaling and Cellular Transformation in a Cell Type- and Mutation-Specific Manner

      [Paper-level Aggregated] PMCID: PMC2789045

      Evidence Type(s): Oncogenic, Functional, Predictive

      Justification: Oncogenic: The evidence indicates that mutations S249C, Y375C, and K652E in FGFR3 lead to increased cell proliferation, morphological transformation, and anchorage-independent growth, suggesting that these mutations contribute to oncogenic processes in bladder tumors. Functional: The study demonstrates that the FGFR3 mutations affect signaling pathways and cellular behaviors, such as phosphorylation of downstream effectors and changes in cell cycle profiles, indicating a functional impact of these mutations on urothelial cells. Predictive: The differential effects of the FGFR3 mutations on cell proliferation and viability suggest that the presence of specific mutations like S249C and Y375C may predict the behavior of bladder cancer cells in response to growth conditions and treatments.
