Informed Consent For Medical Research: Case Studies, Catherine A. Marco
Informed Consent For Medical Research: Case Studies, Catherine A. Marco
Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications
Informed consent for medical research is an essential, but challenging, process to assure the protection of the rights of potential research subjects. Numerous barriers to the informed consent process exist among patients, including impaired decisional capacity, impaired cognition, language barriers, illiteracy, insufficient time and communication, and numerous others. Because of the inherent vulnerability of patients, particular attention should be paid to addressing barriers to adequate informed consent, and steps should be taken to ensure adequate delivery of information, understanding of the study and its risks and benefits, and voluntariness of the informed consent.
Asymmetrical Response Of P38 Kinase Activation To Volume Changes In Primary Rat Astrocytes, Dazhong Xu, Ling Wang, James E. Olson, Luo Lu
Asymmetrical Response Of P38 Kinase Activation To Volume Changes In Primary Rat Astrocytes, Dazhong Xu, Ling Wang, James E. Olson, Luo Lu
Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications
Activation of p38 kinase by osmotic stress has been documented in many cells; however, no report has distinguished the effects of cell volume on p38 activity from the effects of the altered osmotic condition per se. Here we report asymmetrical activation of astrocyte p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase in response to volume increases and volume decreases. We separate effects of cell volume changes from the effects of osmotic exposure on p38 activation. Exposure to 400, 500, or 600 mOsm phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) caused cell shrinkage and an osmolality-dependent increase in p38 activity to 175%, 409%, or 518%, respectively, compared with …
Decisions At The End Of Life, Catherine A. Marco
Decisions At The End Of Life, Catherine A. Marco
Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications
As members of the Church, we believe that our Heavenly Father, in His divine judgment, chooses the appropriate time of death, the essential step and passageway to the next and more perfect life. Although medical technology has created many possibilities for increasing the quality and duration of life in many cases, its use must be appropriately and cautiously implemented. The role of medicine and technology should be to assist in providing cure and comfort to patients in need, rather than the artificial postponement of the natural process of dying.
Unchanged Maladies: Current Perspectives On Old Testament Diseases, Catherine A. Marco
Unchanged Maladies: Current Perspectives On Old Testament Diseases, Catherine A. Marco
Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications
As a physician reading the Old Testament this year, I often find myself speculating about some of the medical conditions referred to in the Old Testament. Although many disease entities have surely changed significantly over the past several thousand years, the human anatomy remains basically unchanged, thus rendering man susceptible to the same categories of disease in any day and age.
Coping With Unexpected Death, Catherine A. Marco
Coping With Unexpected Death, Catherine A. Marco
Emergency Medicine Faculty Publications
As physicians, we frequently encounter the task of notifying and supporting family members during critical situations. Perhaps the heaviest of burdens is the responsibility of informing family members and friends of the unexpected death of a loved one.
