- - Malm, Heidi.
- Good healthcare practice and policy cannot be developed on the basis of scientific evidence alone. Also essential are value-laden or ？？？moral？？？ judgments which, for example, prioritize some endpoints over others (e.g., quality of life over quantity of life), and sanction some means of achieving those endpoints but prohibit others (e.g., Is informed consent always necessary? May harm be caused to some in order to prevent greater harm to others?).
This presentation will first demonstrate how the methods that contemporary ethical theorists use to develop, test and apply moral judgments are similar to the methods that medical scientists use to develop, test and apply their evidence. It will then examine several flaws, cognitive biases, and under-appreciated distinctions within medical-ethical reasoning (each of which has a sibling in scientific reasoning) that give rise to gaps between ethical theory and medical practice. Throughout the discussion, preference will be given to medical-ethical issues involving the prevention of harm, including cancer prevention, public health, and pandemic planning.
About Heidi Malm, Ph.D.
Heidi Malm is Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago. Her areas of specialization include ethical theory, bioethics and the philosophy of law. Her academic research focuses on ethical issues involving autonomy and the prevention of harm, with a current focus on issues within the field of preventive medicine and law. She has published on the topics of killing vs. letting die, legal paternalism, medical screening, bad Samaritan laws and the duty to aid, consent and the law on rape, and surrogate motherhood, and her articles have appeared in a variety of high-profile journals including Ethics, The Hastings Center Report, Law and Philosophy, American Journal of Bioethics and Philosophy & Public Affairs. A recent article Dr. Malm co-authored, Ethics, Pandemics, and the Duty to Treat, appeared in the American Journal of Bioethics (2008), received much fanfare and is frequently cited. The article addresses the very timely topic of the healthcare workers duty to treat in times of pandemics; matters of interest to academicians and practitioners in medicine, law, philosophy, public health, and government.
Dr. Malm also works on issues related to ethics and preventive medicine, in particular, ethical issues related to medical screening for diseases such as cancer, as well as the furthering of evidence-based medicine. She has served as the bioethicist on several committees for the National Institutes of Health and has been an invited speaker at numerous schools of medicine and public health, including Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Northwestern.
Medicine: Mind the Gap
Bridging the Gap Between Evidence and Practice
An NIH Seminar Series
Bridging the gap between evidence and practice
The Medicine: Mind the Gap series will explore a wide range of issues at the intersection of research, evidence, and clinical practice？？？especially areas in which conventional wisdom may lead us astray. 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.

- Widening the Use of Electronic Health Record Data for Research
-
- - National Center for Research Resources (U.S.) (2010/11/18)
- - Category : Conferences
- Electronic records have yet to be broadly implemented nationally but there are large national efforts underway to address this lag in technology adoption. Concurrently, leading adopters of health information technology are looking beyond their implementation investment towards the value that might be derived from the secondary applications of clinical data obtained during the course of healthcare. This symposium will illustrate the challenges, pitfalls and key informers of success in the secondary application of electronic healthcare data using examples from comparative effectiveness research, pharmacovigilance, public health, and health disparities research. It will identify challenge areas of mutual interest; roadblocks that can be addressed in the short term; and successful roadmaps.

- Sounds in silence: How the ear initiates activity in the auditory system before hearing begins
-
- - Bergles, Dwight.
National Institutes of Health (U.S.) (2010/11/18) - - Category : Neuroscience
- - Bergles, Dwight.
- Dr. Bergles lab is interested in understanding the mechanisms by which neurons and glial cells interact to support normal communication in the nervous system. Neurons transmit information at specialized synaptic junctions, points of contact where action potentials elicit the release of a chemical neurotransmitter. Neurotransmission at excitatory synapses involves the vesicular release of glutamate, diffusion and binding of glutamate to various receptors, and uptake of glutamate by transporters. Transporters are critical for ensuring that receptors are available to bind glutamate during subsequent release events, as well as for limiting receptor activation so that excitotoxic damage does not occur. Transporters may also shape the activation of receptors on a more rapid time scale during synaptic transmission. Because transporters play a critical role in glutamate homeostasis, understanding their function has relevance for numerous afflictions, such as stroke, epilepsies, and neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A related area of research in our lab involves the study of these pathways and their roles in development and synaptic physiology. The recent discovery of glutamatergic synapses between pyramidal neurons and oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in the hippocampus has raised many questions about the involvement of these neuro-glial junctions in regulating OPC differentiation, as well as the role of these progenitor cells in hippocampal physiology. They are currently studying these neuro-glial synapses though whole-cell recordings from identified OPCs, and dual pyramidal neuron-OPC recordings in hippocampal slices. As glutamate receptor signaling may regulate oligodendrocyte development and thus myelination, these studies may lead to new approaches for stimulating re-myelination after injury or disease.

- - Sternberg, Esther M.
- A major challenge to conducting rigorous studies to evaluate the efficacy and mechanisms of CAM interventions is the need for sensitive methods for measurement and detection of physiological and molecular outcome measures, which can be applied to subjects with minimal stress and distress. In this lecture, Dr. Sternberg will describe the development of a method to measure neural and immune biomarkers in sweat as one potential approach, and will also touch on other methods, such as heart rate variability, which can be applied under selected conditions to achieve these goals. Case studies using these approaches will be described.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine presents the Complementary and Integrative Medicine Consult Service lecture series. The series provides NIH Clinical Center staff with the opportunity to learn more about how the integration of various complementary and alternative medicine treatments can affect approaches into the research and practice of medicine.

- NLM Informatics Lecture Series
Dr. Tonellato presents a general approach, mathematical model and computational method to predict clinical efficacy of genetic discoveries using ？？？clinical avatars？？？ to conduct simulations of the effect of genotypes on risk, diagnosis and treatment. Clinical avatars are individual medical data records produced from a stochastic model and statistical parameters developed to reflect actual patient populations. The approach is used to detect differences between predictions of two warfarin dosing prediction algorithms applied to several representative patient populations (US general, African American, Asian). Clinical variables (clinical, prescription, and genetic) used in the model were derived from examination of published warfarin prediction and decision support algorithms. Clinical avatars are then produced with variables and population means, variances and dependencies consistent with those found in the literature. Simulations demonstrate strengths and weaknesses of the dosing algorithms depend on population characteristics, size and genetic frequencies. All modeling, computations and simulations are conducted on our cloud computing environment. Examples of the strategy, methods, and simulations in other areas of personalized medicine such as cancer risk prediction will be discussed.
