  • The Evidence-to-Practice Gap: Teaching Clinicians Evidence-based Medicine
    • - W. Scott Richardson, M.D., GHSU/UGA Medical Partnership Campus (2012/05/20)
    • - Category : Special
    Medicine: Mind the Gap is a lecture series that explores issues at the intersection of research, evidence, and clinical practice???areas in which conventional wisdom may be contradicted by recent evidence. From the role of advocacy organizations in medical research and policy, to off-label drug use, to the effectiveness of continuing medical education, the seminar series will aim to engage the NIH community in thought-provoking discussions to challenge what we think we know and to think critically about our role in today???s research environment.

    Dr. Scott Richardson will discuss the various facets of evidence-based medicine ??? what it is, why we need it, and how to practice it. He will engage in a discussion on how clinicians can learn to practice evidence-based medicine even if they have already completed their formal training. He also will examine what it would take to incorporate evidence-based medicine into the newer curricula of medical schools, illustrating how his teaching institution is doing this.

    Dr. Richardson is an academic general internist at the GHSU/UGA Medical Partnership Campus, in Athens, Georgia, where he is Professor of Medicine and Campus Associate Dean for Curriculum. His principal scholarly interests are in clinical epidemiology, evidence-based health care and medical education. He is a co-author of the book Straus et al., Evidence-Based Medicine: How to Practice and Teach It, Fourth Edition (2011). Dr. Richardson is a member of the international Evidence-based Medicine Working Group, which authored the Users Guides to the Medical Literature series in the Journal of the American Medical Association, now published in book form. Dr. Richardson continues to work on the challenges of integrating evidence into clinical decisions, particularly in evidence-based clinical diagnosis. He is also working to incorporate evidence into the new curriculum at his institution and in medical education at all levels.

    This seminar is sponsored by the Office of Disease Prevention, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Prevention.

  • Of Mice, Birds and Men: The Mouse Ultrasonic Song System has Features Once Throught Unique to Humans and Song Learning Birds
    • - Dr. Erich D. Jarvis, Duke University Medical Center Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (2012/05/19)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    Humans and song-learning birds communicate acoustically using learned vocalizations. The characteristic features of this social communication behavior include vocal control by forebrain motor areas, a direct cortical projection to brainstem vocal motor neurons, and dependence on auditory feedback to develop and maintain learned vocalizations. These features have not been found in closely related primate and avian species that do not learn vocalizations. Male mice produce courtship ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) with acoustic features similar to songs of song-learning birds. However, it is assumed that mice lack a forebrain system for vocal modification and that their USVs are innate. Dr. Jarvis will present his lab???s discovery of the mouse song system and show that it includes a localized motor cortex region, which???during singing???projects directly to brainstem vocal motor neurons and keeps songs more stereotyped and on pitch. His lab also discovered that male mice depend on auditory feedback to develop and maintain normal ultrasonic song. When cross-housed under competitive social conditions, substrains of mice that have differences in their songs can imitate each others??? pitch. Dr. Jarvis concludes that male mice have at least some neuroanatomical and behavioral features thought to be unique to humans and song-learning birds, suggesting that mice have limited vocal modification abilities or that a reevaluation of species differences is in order. His lab hypothesizes that the trait of vocal learning is not dichotomous, as long assumed, but a continuum with mice being intermediate between other well-studied species.

    Focus on You Wellness Lecture Series

    Did you know that your eyes are the only place in your body where blood vessels and nerve tissue can be seen directly? When your eye doctor dilates and examines them using special lenses, he or she can determine not only whether there are diseases present which might threaten vision or the health of your eye (such as cataracts, glaucoma, or macular degeneration); they can also identify changes which suggest body-wide disorders, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and increased risk for stroke. This talk will illustrate some of these findings, and reveal why the eyes are rightly called the windows to your body???s health.

    Dr. Rachel Bishop is chief of the Consult Services Section in the Eye Clinic at the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health (NIH). She performs eye examinations on people who are participating in clinical trials throughout the many Institutes and Centers at the NIH. This involves monitoring medication and treatment effects, managing eye diseases, and performing surgeries.

  • Self Stimulation???How Positive Feedback Loops Wire the Brain
    • - Bernardo L. Sabatini, M.D., Ph.D., Harvard Medical School Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (2012/05/11)
    • - Category : Wednesday Afternoon Lectures
    A great deal of brain development happens after birth. During this period, sensory inputs and patterns of activity within the brain drive the refinement of circuits and the formation of synapses. This is well established for parts of the brain that receive signals from the outside world, such as sensory systems. Much less is known about the function of activity in shaping the development of non-sensory and sub-cortical systems. Dr. Sabatini will show that activity in a recurrent loop between the basal ganglia and cortex acts in a self-reinforcing manner. Thus manipulations that promote the activity of the direct pathway through the basal ganglia, and hence activate cortex, lead to greater innervation of the basal ganglia. His lab proposes that such self-reinforcing systems ensure the correct wiring of sub-cortical systems that lack the stereotyped topographic organization of sensory systems. Lastly, his lab proposes that early perturbations of such mechanisms can contribute to developmental disorders such as cerebral palsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

  • Using Mixed Methods to Optimize Dissemination and Implementation of Health Interventions
    • - NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Science Research (2012/05/10)
    • - Category : Conferences
    Mixed methods research is increasingly important for addressing complex problems facing public health. Mixed methods approaches are particularly well-suited to enhance our understanding of how to optimize dissemination and implementation (D&I) of evidence-based interventions. A challenge inherent in D&I research is that often neither a qualitative nor a quantitative approach alone is sufficient to fully understand the processes involved and/or outcomes resulting from the dissemination or implementation of a given intervention. Mixed methods research involves the intentional collection and integration of both qualitative and quantitative data and capitalizes on the strengths of each to enhance the breadth and depth of the researchers??? understanding of a problem. Mixed methods research is a tool that can help to ensure that evidence-base strategies to improve health and prevent disease are effectively delivered in clinical and public health practice.

    The goal of this workshop is to illustrate the utility of mixed methods approaches to improve and enhance dissemination and implementation research. Specifically, the workshop will:

    Provide a rationale for using mixed methods for dissemination and implementation research and identify the types of studies for which these methods are most appropriate Describe mixed methods research designs and examples of mixed methods studies in dissemination and implementation research Demonstrate effective integration of methods in grant writing and analytic plans Identify elements of a good mixed methods grant proposal by summarizing and expanding on the recently released report on Best Practices for Mixed Methods Research in the Health Sciences: http://obssr.od.nih.gov/scientific_areas/methodology/mixed_methods_research/index.aspx
