Medical Education Memory competition?
Learning methods vs knowledge keeping listening = 5% reading = 10% audio-visual = 20% demonstration = 30% discussion = 50% hands-on = 75% teaching/using = 90%
Learning Philosophy I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand.
Dr. Charles Sidney Burwell(Dean of HMS from 1935 to 1949) • At an HMS graduation in the late 1940s, he said “…Half of what we have taught you is wrong. Unfortunately, we don’t know which half.” • Dr. Burwell was a cardiologist who specialized in circulation changes associated with heart disease. He is credited with bringing attention to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In 1944, while Dr. Burwell was Dean, women entered Harvard Medical School for the first time on an equal basis with men.
"It has been estimated that, from the beginning of civilization — 5,000 years ago or more — until 2003, humanity created a total of five exabytes (billion gigabytes) of information. From 2003 to 2010, we created this amount every two days. By 2013, we will be doing so every ten minutes, exceeding within hours all the information currently contained in all the books ever written. So it isn't that we need more knowledge; it is that we need to distinguish between what we know and what we don't know, through what Firestein calls “controlled neglect”. Researchers must selectively ignore vast quantities of facts and data that block creative solutions, and focus on a narrow range of possibilities. "To make discoveries, researchers need to look beyond the facts.” Ignorance includes an important discussion about scientific errors and their propagation in textbooks. I admit that I passed one on in my last book, The Believing Brain (Times Books, 2011): I repeated as gospel the 'fact' that the human brain contains about 100 billion neurons. Firestein reports that it is actually around 80 billion, and that the number of glial cells is an order of magnitude smaller than most textbooks state. The 'neural spike' recorded by neuroscientists as a fundamental unit of brain activity, Firestein reminds us, is an artefact of our measuring devices and ignores other forms of neural activity. Even the famous and widely printed 'tongue map', which shows sweet flavours sensed on the tip of the tongue, bitter on the back and salt and sour on the sides, is wrong — the result of a mistranslation of a German physiology paper. These and other errors arise as a result of our lack of scepticism towards the knowledge we have.”

Homeostasis Homeostasis(from the Greek words for “same” and “steady”): maintenance of static or constant conditions in the internal environment W. Cannon
Components of Homeostasis: • Concentration of O2 and CO2 • pH of the internal environment • Concentration of nutrients and waste products • Concentration of salt and other electrolytes • Volume and pressure of extracellular fluid
How is homeostasis achieved? ----Regulation Body's systems operate together to maintain homeostasis: Skin system Skeletal and muscular system Circulatory system Respiratory system Digestive system Urinary system Nervous system Endocrine system Lymphatic system Reproductive system
Regulation of body functions • Nervous Regulation • Humoral Regulation • Autoregulation
Nervous regulation Reflex Knee jerk reflex
Reflex Arc • Receptor • Afferent (sensory) nerve • Reflex center (brain or spinal cord) • Efferent (motor) nerve • Effector
Hormone Endocrine cells Receptor Hormone Humoral regulation Traditional description of humoral regulation by hormone
Endocrine action:the hormone is distributed in blood and binds to distant target cells • Paracrine action:the hormone acts locally by diffusing from its source to target cells in the neighborhood • Autocrine action:the hormone acts on the same cell that produced it

Autoregulation Definition:Intrinsic (independent of any neural or humoral influences) ability of an organ to maintain a constant blood flow despite changes in perfusion pressure Mechanism: Stretch-activated constriction of vessels Significance: Maintenance of near-constant cerebral, renal and coronary blood flow
