Mashup Score: 10https://www.slu.edu | Reducing Bias in Trainee Assessment - 7 day(s) ago
Humans process enormous amounts of information per second, which is too much for us to intentionally process every single item. That is why we unintentionally process the vast majority of information using our intuition and instinct, known as System 1 processing. We deliberately process only a limited portion of information through our rational thinking, known as System 2 processing. When we process using intuition and instinct, we utilize our brain “shortcut” where implicit bias can play a role. Certainly

Mashup Score: 5
Author links open overlay panel Freddy Frost MD a b, Gregory Y.H. Lip MD a c A major challenge for people living with cardiorespiratory multimorbidity relates to diagnosis. Considerable overlap between symptoms and signs in many chronic lung and heart diseases makes it difficult to discriminate between causes at presentation. New respiratory disease in the context of existing cardiac disease and vice versa may result in incorrect uptitration of current treatment, rather than identification of new comorbidi

Mashup Score: 6
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and pulmonary hypertension associated with left-sided heart and lung diseases are most commonly easily discriminated and treated accordingly. With the changing epidemiology of PAH, however, a growing proportion of patients at the time of diagnosis present with comorbidities of varying severity. In addition to classical PAH, two distinct phenotypes have emerged: a heart failure with preserved ejection fraction-like phenotype and a lung phenotype. Importantly, the evidence supporting the currently proposed treatment algorithm for PAH has been generated mainly from PAH trials in which patients with cardiopulmonary comorbidities have been underrepresented or excluded.
