Can the use of deception be justified in medical education research? A point/counterpoint and case study.

Deception is a common feature of behavioral research design, although not commonly employed in the medical literature. It can promote scientific validity but is ethically controversial because it compromises subject autonomy and incurs additional costs. In this Point/Counterpoint monograph, we review the nature of deception in research and present arguments for and against its ethical use as a research methodology in behavioral studies.

The meanings of most open class words are suffused with sensory and affective features. A word such as , for example, evokes polymodal associations ranging from gritty sand (tactile) and crashing waves (auditory) to the distinctive smell of sunscreen (olfactory).

The spectrum of cognitive deficits in these Lewy body diseases encompasses a broad range of clinical features, severity of impairment, and timing of presentation. It is now recognized that cognitive dysfunction occurs not only in more advanced Parkinson's disease but also in early, untreated patients and even in those patients with pre-motor syndromes, such as rapid eye movement behavior disorder and hyposmia.

Automated chemistry laboratories dependent on robotic processes are the standard in both academic and large community hospital settings. Diagnostic microbiology manufacturers are betting that robotics will be used for specimen processing, plate reading, and organism identification in the near future. These systems are highly complex and have large footprints and hefty price tags.

The term "personalized oncology" means different things to the oncologist than to the patient. But fundamentally, the phrase creates the expectation that decisions can be informed by the unique features of the patient and patient's cancer. Much like determining antibiotic sensitivities in urinary tract infections, the oncologist is expected to choose the right treatment(s), for each individual patient.
