Now a days in India, market driven self-investigaitons are offered by many corporate laboratories, in the form of various packages like: whole body check-up, preventinive check-up, etc. without consultation with physician/consultant, which causes wastage of resources and ethical issues are need to be debated.
Interpretaiton of results of investigation is depends on half knowldage or inadequate knowldage by the patient side. This unneccessary demand for investigaitons needs to be discussed and debated and look after by regulatory authorities/bodies like, National Medical Commission (NMC), Ethics and Medical Registration Board(EMRB) and state medical council and medical fraternity.
If self-medication is harmful than why not self-investigaiton is harmful. This issue is of public interest seeing the lack of knowledge among masses related to medical science and advancement in research day-by-day.

I am working on a project to detect genetic mutations in lung cancer using machine learning algorithms and I am new to genetics and medical sciences. Can I use RNA as input to the algorithm for diagnosis? In medical diagnosis, do they check RNA first and then identify genetic mutations?
Relevant answer
Answer
That's an interesting question that I don't have an answer for. Some things to think about, a lot of the NGS studies do bulk sequencing, that is they sequence a tumor sample and give you a global reading - you don't know if a particular DNA variant is in cis configuration with a gene fusion in the same cell. The DNA variant + RNA fusion could be in the same cell, or perhaps in completely different cells. You could however discern this with single cell sequencing. Remember, cancer is a heterogenous disease, there are different clones and subclones which share some common mutations as well as mutations that are private to a subclone. Have a look at singe cell studies and see if you see fusions and oncogenic variants together in the same cell.

In an interventional study, is there a criterion for choosing a secondary outcome or a second dependent variable?
Should these two variables in the study of medical sciences and especially nursing be conceptually related or not?
For example,
examining the effect of family-oriented empowerment on self-management and quality of life of cancer patients?
Relevant answer
Answer
  1. Relevance: Secondary outcomes should align with the study’s objectives.
  2. Validity and Reliability: They should accurately and consistently measure what they’re intended to.
  3. Confirmatory or Exploratory: They can confirm primary outcomes, explore different aspects, or include adverse effects.
  4. Conceptual Relation: Primary and secondary outcomes should be related but not redundant.
  5. Clinical Significance: Outcomes should be patient-centered and inform clinical practice.
  6. Defined in Protocol: To avoid bias, outcomes should be predefined in the study protocol.
Remember, interpretation should consider multiple outcomes and potential for error.
  • asked a question related to Medical Science
Question

Anthropometrically and conceptually, association does not equate causation. However, regarding anthropometric indicators (i.e., metrics of general and abdominal obesity), most of studies worldwide focus in determining the association degree with cardiovascular diseases or even all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. In this approach, mathematical inequalities between the simple body measurements (e.g., weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, muscle perimeters, bone diameters etc.,) were always overlooked when comparing the healthy and unhealthy groups.
For the first time, we have revealed confounding factors that historically distorted causal inferences. Similarly, we mathematically have demonstrated bias errors when a same value of any anthropometric (e.g., BMI, WHR or WC) may indicate different high-risk body composition between groups being compared. Effectively, high BMI is not equivalent to general obesity and high-risk body composition. Moreover, abdominal obesity measured by WC or WHR is not the same as an abdominal volume of risk from WHtR. It is clear, each anthropometric express a different body composition of risk and risk exposure level, and therefore, they may never be compared to assess the same health risk.
In our opinion, talking about anthropometrics and health risks, the historical paradigm should be shifted. By using anthropometrics (e.g., BMI, WHR, WC) without balancing for the simple measurements (i.e, fat mas vs. fat free mass, waist circumference vs. hip and waist circumference vs. height) between the healthy and unhealthy cases has been a historical anthropometric error that always distorted causality.

What is the wavelength of the X-ray radiation from an x-ray or CT Scan instrument in the medical field (used in hospitals or clinics)?
It is required to know the specific value, not just the range.
I have tried to contact the specific companies, but not get the suitable answers.
Thanks in advance.
Relevant answer
Answer
you will never get a specific value because the energy spectrum of the photons emerging from the focus of an x-ray tube is a very broad one ranging from roughly about 20 keV up to the keV value, which is identical to the kV preset of the tube voltage. They are in the range of up to about 30 to 40kV for mammography, in the range of about 50 to 60kV for fluoroscopy of arms and legs and between roughly 80 and 140kV for whole body CT. All the kV values depend on the thickness of the part of the body being examined.
A mean value of the energy spectrum also depends on the depth inside the body part, which your are interested in.
For the primary radiation just at the surface of the body the mean photon energy is roughly about 2/3 to 3/4 of the preset kV value in keV; it depends on the inherent and additional filtration and the take-off angle of the x-ray target.
You may share for what kind of purpose(s) you need such number(s).
Maybe, we can help you...
Best regards

Answer
Indeed, as you found out, the prominently mentioned impact factors are fake. This relatively new player “Medicon Publications” is most likely a predatory publisher. There are numerous red flags:
-First the mentioning of a fake impact factor (https://isindexing.com/isi/viewjournal.php ) which has nothing to do with a real impact factor for a SCIE indexed journal assigned by Clarivate
-If you scroll down here https://themedicon.com then the logo of International Scientific Indexing (ISI) pops up, this is a notorious example of a so-called misleading metric (https://beallslist.net/misleading-metrics/ ) often used by predatory journals/publishers
-No real contact info, the little info that can be found on the net claims a USA location while others seem to indicate India (http://www.themedicon.org/contact.html )
-If you Google “Medicon Open Access” and search for images and click on the cover image of “Medicon Medical Sciences” you end up with ‘journals’ from ‘publishers’ like “Medtext Publications” and “Prime Open Access Publications” both mentioned in the Beall’s list of (potential) predatory publishers (https://beallslist.net )
-Etc.
The only reliable info about an impact factor can be found here https://mjl.clarivate.com/home only SCIE/SSCI indexed journals have an impact factor.

Hi.
I'm studying the gait characteristics of stroke patients.
I recently identified several studies that reported gait differences between ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke.[1-2] I also divided stroke patients in our hospital into two groups based on the etiology and analyzed whether the gait difference exists, and I have statistically identified differences in some of our data.
So, my question is, is it common that gait characteristics differ depending on the etiology of stroke? Or is it an argument contrary to previous research results? If the latter is correct, can you give me some references?
Thank you.

Dear community,
this seems to have been out there since 2018 in medical sciences, but I only stumbled over it recently:
T&F are offering extremely fast review and publication times for a higher fee, they pay reviewers for handing in reviews in time. How do you feel about this? Will this bias acceptance of papers and just be a new way to buy a publication? Or do you think this is the right incentive for reviewers and a way to recognize the importance of fast and constructive review?
I would be interested in your opinion.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dr Daniela E. Winkler, I am not sure this is meant to compensate their reviewers, perhaps as a surcharge to take care of other clerical purposes and indexing. T & F is known to reward their reviewers through APC reduction and by allowing them to read their subscribed journals freely.

Andrew Neil, a TV presenter here in UK has just used a word, ultracrepidarianism, the roots of which are attributed to Pliny the Elder.
ne supra crepidam sutor judicare ‘let the cobbler not judge above the sandal’
The current Covid-19 pandemic has given rise to ultracrepidarianism on a colossal scale, particularly here on RG.
Ultracrepidarianism is the act of giving advice or opinions on subjects one has no knowledge or experience of.
This is all too common on RG and the cause of most of the disputes between academics and scientists who participate on the threads. What is it makes people so enthusiastic about formulating opinions on subjects they know little or nothing about?

Dear Colleagues,
I hope this finds you well.
This is Muhammad Hussam Alothman, a Syrian medical student interested in neuroscience and neurosurgery. I'm getting my MD degree in November 2019.
Despite the scarcity of researches and war settings in Syria, I worked hard during the last three years to enhance my CV as a future neurosurgeon and neuroscientist.
I'm currently a reviewer at the Journal of Medical Case Reports (JMCR). I've got the PHRP, CRT, and IPPCR course certificates online from the NIH. 
I'm also interested in medical neuroscience; especially the fields of neurobiology and neuro-oncology because my long-term goal is to take part in translational researches whereby I can integrate the basic medical sciences and the clinical practice of neurosurgery. 
I'm looking for a post-doctoral fellowship (or research associate) in the fields of neurosurgery or basic medical sciences in the USA. 
I'm looking to start my career with a high-rank institution and I think such opportunity will change my life and become the start point of my career as a future neuroscientist and neurosurgeon. 
I've connected more than 300 professors in the USA for such a position and no positive replies yet.
I've attached my CV and I'm looking enthusiastically for your reply. 
NB: Even if you don't have an opening please review my CV and give me your valuable feedback to strengthen my weak points.

There are often times when added research would be required to make it easier for a study to go forward. Your research plans could include an analysis of the methods of study that could work in the future and what points about a topic could be reviewed in such studies. The recommendations that are incorporated into your paper can certainly be important to your work. Be certain when writing your paper that you have clear recommendations that are easy to follow and can be utilized right and are not overly complicated or tough to use in some way.

In Ecuadorian Amazonia, where I am based, it seems like people in indigenous communities have managed very well through the covid-19 pandemic, in spite of very high rates of contagion. I know of two large communities, about 1400 and 2000 habitants, respectively, where most people took basically no precautions in order to avoid contagion, and now almost everybody have gone through the disease and then recovered. In the smaller community only one person died, an old male with previous medical conditions, and in the larger one nobody died. Nobody has even been taken to hospital. Among people from these communities who have migrated to urban areas, on the other hand, several people have died of covid (which seems to rule out genetic factors as an explanation).
Obviously the age structure plays a role, as about half of the population is under 20 years old. But I suspect that the reason for the low mortality also is either related to general lifestyle things or to self-medication with medicinal plants. I would love to investigate this further, but I have no research funds, and I am not myself an expert in medical science.
Any comments on this and advice on how to proceed forward would be highly appreciated!

  1. I have discovered a novel species of bacteria that belongs to Pseudomonas genus. On the basis of rpoD gene (individually) and 16sRNA+rpoD genes based (concatenated) trees,it shows close similarity to P.alcaligenes (P.aeruginosa lineage).
  2. Genome blast distance phylogeny (GBDP) tree created using Type strain genome server (TYGS), mirrors the similar results with 100 % bootstrap value. Moreover, the "type species" suggested by the TYGS platform on the bases of genome sequences are P.aeruginosa and Azomonas agilis.
My Question: Can I directly say that this soil bacterium is human pathogen? OR This bacterium holds potential for being human pathogen?

Hi,
Since it shows simililarity to P. alcaligenes, so more likely holds a potential for bioremediation purposes. Pseudomonases in soil are more decomposer than a pathogen.Of course underlying in P. aeruginosa lineage, it can also holds potential for being human pathogen.

Although Field Emission-ESEM provides an additional low vacuum option to analyse biological and insulating samples. Which is good regarding the applications.
Does this option also jeopardize the life of the instrument due to possibility of contamination by the samples that release vapors.
You own experience and expert advice are highly welcomed.
Relevant answer
Answer
What is environmental mode for SEM you are discussing? Is it possibility to observe water and wet specimens? In contrast to low vac mode, this mode is rarely used, not much applications exists. If you really need to observe wet specimens, then buy it, otherwise low vac mode is sufficient for most applications.
If you consider two SEMs with the same column and same gun, but one of them is equipped for wet mode, then you will not see any difference in performance and service life. Water vapor is harmless for modern SEM. Of course, if you put in oily, greasy and such specimens you can contaminate your microscope, but it will be your specimens, not microscope design that matter.

What is the usefulness of Case-Reports in medical science? How one can write better case reports? Is there any guidelines?
I have found some published articles on this and request your feedback and additional resources.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear sir,
Certianly case reports are useful in medicine. As in all branches, medical science is continuosly building process and it is based on information gathered from all types of studies. You will find case report to be of paramount benifit when reviewing rare conditions. As in such situations you will not find enough cohort to be enrolled in other study types.
Many journals are not very interested in publishing such studies, the truth behind this is the low citing rate a case report could get which indeed is not helpfull in growing impact factor a journal may credited, so unless you are reporting a new occurance or a new diagnostic or surgical modality you probably will be faced with a low potential for publication

We all come across various conditions in different fields in medical science, where imaging plays a vital role in the management of any clinical condition. Radiologists are specifically trained to read and report on their findings on various images viz. CT scans, USG, MRI etc.
My question is: how adept should a non-radiologist be in reading the images? and at what stage of his career ?
Relevant answer
Answer
My opinion would somewhat differ. I routinely see patients referred to us with significant morbidity and mortality from clinicians erroneously drawing their own conclusions about imaging. This VERY frequently occurs where complex MRI artifacts that are easily recognized by a radiologist trained in MRI physics are misinterpreted by clinicians, along with other routine mistakes I see. I am fortunate that my clinical teams frequently are in communication about imaging findings and expressing their concerns all for the benefit of our patients. There once was a time before PACS where you would have had to go to the radiologist to even see the images! This forced open communication. I would STRONGLY suggest to you that if you have concern about a radiologist report, you should DISCUSS WITH THEM! Both the clinician and the radiologist bring an enormous amount of unique knowledge and experience to the table.

Answer
Hello Tahura,
Angiogenesis: It is an in vivo blood vessel formation mechanism, where capillary vessels are branched out from exiting blood vessels in the concentration gradient of VEGF.
Vasculogenesis: Endothelial progenitor cells migrated out from bone marrow in response to cytokines, accumulated at the ischemic region, and form capillary like structure through differentiation. These capillary structure eventually gets remodeled and formed functional network.

Hi,
This observation is correct. Many mathematicians in various institutions and countries resent the impact factor as a measure of scientific excellence since it does not reflect accurately the value of papers in their field. Mathematics is an exact science, but its citation dynamics is similar to the social sciences. One bibliometric rule is that every science field has a different citation dynamics, and the comparison should take place within fields and not between them.

In social or medical science, we sometimes have different treatments (likely to affect the same outcome) which have been applied simultaneously, i.e. some units have received treatment A, others have received treatment B, others have received treatment A and B and others have received nothing?
is there a rigorous way to measure ex post the relative effectiveness of treatments A and B, in the form of Average Treatment Effect or more sophisticated estimands capturing the heterogeneity of impacts? e.g. if there are n interventions, i can use 2^n control groups to study all the interactions.

In my recent study I'm trying to investigate the causes of one patient's severity of his condition of severe epileptic syndrome. For this purpose I took 8 samples of night urine after the days with various values of Severity. There is a scale of day's severity from 0 (everything is fine) till 10 (Status Epilepticus). Then we did chromatography for 168 organic acids, and there was only 1 acid with correlation coefficient more than 0.75 (absolute value). This is Salicyluric acid.
Attached are two graphs, which show the high negative correlation between day's severity and concentration of that acid in urine. Of course this isn't the evidence of the existence of causality between these values.
But if the causality exists, what is the direction of it: from concentration of Salicyluric acid to severity or vice versa?
Are there any ideas?

Thank you for new ideas, Dr. Hussain.  After all we investigated the diet of patient, and the concentration of SUA was in some link with amount of vegetables, he ate a day before. The existence of third hidden factor is still discussable.

I recently added a project regarding this question.
Basically sex is these days mostly not related to reproduction. Instead it fulfills other function. People have sex for enjoyment, out of love, in order to relax or to have certain experiences involving satisfaction or even something spiritual.
In that regard an orgasm, which may be a peak orgasm (following the stages publishes by Masters and Johnson), is possibly the goal but not the only reason such an experience is wanted and looked for. People may want sex for many other aspects of a sexual experience.
Whereas males may be less interested in a broader experience than females and females even need that part of sexuality to reach a peak orgasm, females may also have a greater variety in term of both what contributes to excitement and what is experienced as orgiastic, fulfilling etc.
Sexual behaviour is arguably more related to consciousness than to mere physiology. People make conscious choices to have sex, use contraceptives and engage in different forms of sexual activities and experiences. There may be a lot of unconsciousness involved as well. People may be driven to have a lot of sex, because they are addicted or need it for relaxation, to be able to sleep etc. They may want it to fulfill psychological needs that they are not (fully) aware of.

I see reports of doxycycline use as a seroma sclerosant and would like to know if this or other agents have been used with success?
Relevant answer
Answer
I've done mostly lymphoceles and I have converted my practice to single shot ethanol  immediately after placement of the catheter and extensive imaging with abscessography. I then remove the catheter after rotating the patient in the recovery room for 1 hour. I did 1 postoperative seroma in the anterior abdominal subcutaneous tissues with ethanol in this fashion and she did well. I only have an n of 1 with seromas. If you want to play it safe, you could use Betadine after an abscessogram demonstrating no leakage. However, it would entail self injection by the patient at home for about a week or so depending on the size of the seroma. Alternatively you could use one of the known antibiotics including Doxy. Sorry I don't have a great recommendation. Ethanol can be scary but if there is no leakage, it can be used at one third the volume.

The era of impact factor, h-index, g-index and open access has brought about several issues relative to sharp practices by researchers, scholars, journal editors, reviewers et cetera. Increasingly, complaints are being filed about plagiarism, self-plagiarism, reviewers forcing authors to cite their papers, some journal editors asking for citations from their journal etc. Moreover, there are different methods or software for calculating h-index, with some claiming superiority over the others. There is also the recent introduction of ORCID, to identify researchers by a unique combination of numbers, which is still evolving. I am not sure the final outcome expected when it comes on fully.
I feel strongly that there is a need for a global symposium to address these issues, and believe there could be a plan already in the process for this.

1.       Khan, K.S., Kunz, R., Kleijnen, J. & Antes, G. (2003) Five steps to conducting a systematic review. Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine. 96 (3), 118–121.
2.       Wright, R.W., Brand, R.A., Dunn, W. & Spindler, K.P. (2007) How to Write a Systematic Review: Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research. [Online] 45523–29. Available from: doi:10.1097/BLO.0b013e31802c9098.
Make sure you stick to the PRISMA guide when reporting (especially if you are planning to publish your paper), and for quality assessment I found Jadad score been heavily used to assess the quality of RCT included.
There will be some variations if you plan to encompass other design than a RCT. The book titled “doing a systematic review: A student guide” is useful as well (reference below).

Medical records security
Relevant answer
Answer
Electronic Medical records are sensitive pieces of information that requires extensive and strong protection. Taking an example of a bankrupt hospital may put some light on the matter. A cancer hospital dealing with all stages of cancer patients filed for bankrupcy and was taken over by a loan lending bank. After the take over was complete, the bank officials scrutinized all such patient details who were in their last stages of cancer, had extremely less chances of survival and had pending loans with the same bank. The loan accounts for these patients was closed and the loan amounts forfeited. As a solution, one could use steganographic protocols to hide patient medical records (which are primarily text) within medical report images. In this case, only an authorized doctor or medical personnel may have access to the records. To all others, the existence of the records remains concealed.
Hope this helps a bit

With multicolour flow cytometry, which is the preferred gating control to use? FMO or isotype control?
Relevant answer
Jorjoh,
The answer is a little complicated because it's a personal opinion. I advise you to have an isotype control because most referees ask for it when you submit your data, so better be safe than sorry.
Personally, I don't think isotypes for surface stain answers anything other than if your blocking worked. And you must never use it as gating control, nor compensation, nor something you subtract from your assay. I believe in this because there isn't such thing as a perfect isotype. Take a look at this paragraph:
"In order to be useful, the isotype control should ideally be the same isotype, both in terms of species, heavy chain (IgA, IgG, IgD, IgE, or IgM) and light chain (kappa or lambda) class, the same fluorochrome (PE, APC, etc.), and have the same F:P ratio. F:P is a measurement of how many fluorescent molecules are present on each antibody."
This paragraph is from the link below. Take a look at it!

Relevant answer
Answer
Dr. Sersar,
The answer to your question is decided by the judicial system where the medical negligence exists.  You are in Saudi Arabia and I can't speak to the rules regarding medical jurisprudence in your country.   
In the USA there are 4 elements to malpractice.
Duty – A duty must have been owed to a patient by a healthcare practitioner charged with that patient’s care. The doctor-patient relationship is a common example of a situation where that duty would exist.
Breach of Duty –The healthcare practitioner who had the duty of care for that patient must have failed in his/her duty by not exercising the degree of care or medical skill that another healthcare professional in the same specialty would have used in an equal situation. (This is when an expert is often called in to testify as to what an appropriate standard of care would be.)
Damage – The patient must have suffered emotional or physical injury while in the care of the healthcare practitioner. The injury can be a new one, or an aggravation of an existing injury.
Cause – There must be solid proof that the breach of duty by the healthcare practitioner caused the patient’s injury.
A successful medical malpractice suit will have proven that all four of these factors exist. If the defendant or healthcare practitioner being sued can prove that one or more of the elements does not exist, then the plaintiff would not prevail.
Each individual involved in medical negligence can be found at fault. Not just the attending physician.   Negligence cases can target multiple individuals.
