For the longest time, one of my pet peeves has been potential conflicts of interest (COI) involving authors on research papers. The corollary of this is more useful when applying to research: “One can be led to believe anything when their salary depends on it.” What about a research grant? Your behavior will change.

Many research papers are dry, long, and hard to read. There are a variety of ways to do this, including lectures, courses, online curricula, meetings, and reading journal articles.

I’ve also been attracted to the research because too often I see systems interventions adopted without data. Instead of just instituting the screening, the researchers did a cluster randomization wherein the alert was sequentially adopted.

Researchers have been trying to develop artificial blood substitutes for decades. Seconds later, they become activated and begin to clump with other platelets. They also release factors that result in fibrin deposition, creating a clot that helps stop bleeding. I remember reading about rat experiments using these products in the 1980s.
