How can you study basic science mechanisms [in humans] when you don't have enough cells?
Localizing underlying basic science mechanisms allows teacher and students to focus on relevant relations with clinical phenomena [ 1].
A striking difference is that most groups decided not to label the links, because overall these links indicated causal relations, which may be a consequence of the focus to linking in particular clinical and underlying basic science mechanisms.
To develop a curriculum that addresses this so-called vertical integration requires the articulation of basic science mechanisms and their relations with clinical concepts, because designing an educational programme requires a clear view on what knowledge should be incorporated [ 2].
A new syndrome, post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), has been defined, and there are calls to investigate the basic science mechanisms underlying the myriad problems afflicting critical illness survivors and strategies to avoid or mitigate them [ 2].
However, the experts remained focused on the clinical side of their explanation, described as chains of practice [ 1], whereas the residents used underlying basic science mechanisms for the organization of their maps more frequently, even though they experienced the instruction to order clinical concepts along the lines of basic science concepts as less helpful.
We assume that it was not only the higher number of basic science concepts in the maps that accounted for residents' prevalence for ordering along underlying basic science mechanisms, but that also the patho-physiological explanations residents gave each other might have caused them to focus on anatomical and pathophysiological explanations.
"He gave it more practical applications in robotics, computer science and mechanism design," said Dr. Bernard Roth, a professor of mechanical engineering at Stanford University who was a classmate of Dr. Yang's at Columbia.
After Jean-Claude Juncker became president of the European Commission in 2014, he scrapped the post, to her chagrin, and replaced it with a new science advice mechanism. .
