Successful Science Communication: Telling It Like It Is

Lets read! We will often find out this sentence everywhere. When still being a kid, mom used to order us to always read, so did the teacher. Some books are fully read in a week and we need the obligation to support reading. What about now? Do you still love reading? Is reading only for you who have obligation? Absolutely not! We here offer you a new book enPDFd successful science communication telling it like it is to read.

How individual participant data meta-analyses have influenced trial design, conduct, and analysis

Objectives To demonstrate how individual participant data (IPD) meta-analyses have impacted directly on the design and conduct of trials and highlight other advantages IPD might offer. Study Design and Setting Potential examples of the impact of IPD meta-analyses on trials were identified at an international workshop, attended by individuals with experience in the conduct of IPD meta-analyses and knowledge of trials in their respective clinical areas. Experts in the field who did not attend were asked to provide any further examples. We then examined relevant trial protocols, publications, and Web sites to verify the impacts of the IPD meta-analyses. A subgroup of workshop attendees sought further examples and identified other aspects of trial design and conduct that may inform IPD meta-analyses. Results We identified 52 examples of IPD meta-analyses thought to have had a direct impact on the design or conduct of trials. After screening relevant trial protocols and publications, we identified 28 instances where IPD meta-analyses had clearly impacted on trials. They have influenced the selection of comparators and participants, sample size calculations, analysis and interpretation of subsequent trials, and the conduct and analysis of ongoing trials, sometimes in ways that would not possible with systematic reviews of aggregate data. We identified additional potential ways that IPD meta-analyses could be used to influence trials. Conclusions IPD meta-analysis could be better used to inform the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of trials.

From Science to Storytelling

At the very end of a winding corridor on the 19th floor of Beth Israel Hospital in downtown Manhattan is a nondescript door. The dull gold plaque on the wall next to it says in bold typeface: Donna Mildvan, MD, Chief of Infectious Diseases. As I nervously knocked on the door as a 23-year-old student journalist, I was greeted by a perfectly coiffed, petite 70-year-old lady with a big handshake and an unexpected belly laugh. From her first patient in July 1980, a 33-year-old gay German chef who went blind before he died of raging diarrhea, to the hundreds who swiftly followed him, Dr Mildvan’s 40-year career was shaped by a single disease. She had been witness to the birth of a terrifying new plague called AIDS that hit New York City in the summer of 1980. At first, she had identified clusters of gay patients with similar symptoms and labelled this a new disease, and then tirelessly tested novel life-saving treatments for her patients. She figured out that unexplained swollen lymph glands were early stages of fatal AIDS and described these findings in one of the first Center for Disease Control reports of the new disease. When I went in to see her, she was still running clinical drug trials at her clinic in Beth Israel Hospital, 30 years after she collaborated on connecting AIDS to the HIV microbe. ‘I have watched this apocalypse coming and growing,’ she told me, ‘It’s entire evolution from beginning to now . . . it’s been an extraordinary trip.’ HIV was particularly special to me because I had studied it as an immunology graduate student at the University of Oxford.
