"The patients’ responses to Abrahams’s groups varied. Some toed the line:

Dr. Abrahams who works with us here in the Hall is someone to whom we are all very grateful for helping us solve our problems and finding out what brought us here. . . . Let us all pull together, and take our place in society together.

Others were less sure of the value of group therapy:

They [groups] are interesting, from the stand-point of applied therapeutics, but do they accomplish anything? . . . The main difficulty, as seen by Your Reporter, thus far, is that the Group seems to wander—they digress—and nothing seems to be done to correct this situation. Why?

And some were more directly critical:

Yet I was hostile to group therapy at first. It seemed to me a cut-rate modification of individual psychotherapy, an ersatz, prostituted, watered down system evolved out of necessity, embellished with a new name, and a few flourishes of theory to make it appear respectable.

Ward staff was another matter; nurses and attendants were more uniformly reticent to accept the changes. Once quiet wards were now more lively; one began to hear the “more normal sounds” of conversation on the wards. Some of the attendants, moreover, feared that leniency would lead to difficulties in maintaining control and might even provoke rioting. The facts that rioting did not happen, and that ward staff were either moved out of the hall or retrained in group psychotherapy, helped overcome, or at least contain, that friction.

Once assembled as a group, the Black patients would use the session to discuss problems on the ward—privileges, visiting hours, food preparation—in addition to their psychiatric maladies. One of the first patient requests was to the Red Cross for reading material and for opportunities for recreation. When these requests were granted, patients in the white wards took note and asked for group therapy in their section of Howard Hall.

Where in early 1946 there were virtually no therapeutic activities, now, by early 1947, the hall became host to recreational therapy, occupational therapy, and psychodrama, along with a variety of others. Patients noticed the change. One, for example, commented that

many old time patients of Howard Hall are saying that the Hall is a much better place to live in than it was a few years ago. Many improvements have been noticed in the last year [1947] or so.

...

The role of the psychiatrist in group sessions was to prevent epistemic closure. The consensus reality of the group included the psychiatrist, who stood in for an outside vision of reality. The physician’s presence in the group stood in for a reality that was authoritative but not definitive; his perspective was included in the deliberative process but didn’t determine the outcome. In this vision of community, the ambition of guardianship was to ensure the translatability of group decisions to both the hospital (administrators, psychiatrists, other patients) and, in principle, the wider (sane) public. The ambition was to make both madness and wider hospital needs and interests mutually recognizable—to turn private claims into appreciably public ones.

This kind of consensus building is a twist on the traditional image of able-minded dialogue partners that underpins most visions of collective deliberation. In Howard Hall, we have a vision of reason, of deliberation, without a traditional reasoner. Rationality (at least in theory) was an emergent property of patients working in concert, and deliberation was put in service of a shared, world-building project."

[vergess]

you seem like a good person with genuinely nice intentions- i also find it really awful when people go "dont bully people because they COULD be autistic" instead of just saying "don't bully people." the idea that someone hates me, or thinks im cringe, but chooses not to be rude to me because i seem autistic to them is way more hurtful than them just bullying me... (obviously the ideal is for them to never bully anyone) and the argument that we shouldn't bully individuals with "childlike/cringe" interests because they might be autistic is really infantalizing, because it assumes that autism and having "childlike/cringe" interests are interlinked when i don't really think that's the case. (using childlike/cringe in quotes because i don't really believe any interests are childlike or cringe, just those are common descriptors used by people). again, you seem like you have really nice intentions, and i'm pretty sure we all agree, bullying is bad, it should never happen, but the idea of not bullying someone because they could be autistic is just harmful to the autistic community + doesn't stop bullying. have a wonderful night, im sorry for sending you an ask <3 im sure you'll get some hate so i wish you the best

Look, you also seem nice. You're the last ask that slid in under the wire before I turned them off completely due to the mass harassment.

That means you sent this before all the submissions and DMs once I turned asks off, where people started getting really fucking nasty. I am trying very hard not to hold those people against you, but it has been a long fucking day.

So, I'm trying my best here to be patient and kind when I write this essay, instead of just blocking or reporting you. You seem like you might be willing to listen. Even if you're not, your message makes a good starting point for me.

Because I have two major problems here.

1: Autism absolutely correlates with preferring media aimed at younger audiences.

This is not universal, and it's not because we're ~stupid~. It's nothing to do with """"mental age"""" or whatever trashfire talking points you've heard. You may recognize the more clinical terminology from diagnostics, even. It's a major identifiable symptom called "age-inappropriate interests and behaviours." (I personally prefer age-atypical; the current technical language is still, unfortunately, age-inappropriate.)

These age-atypical interests are caused by combinations of disability related factors including but not limited to:

Children's media has cleaner sound balancing with stronger dialogue tracks that make following the language easier. There also tend to be clearer pauses and tonal cues.

Children's media is often safely predictable in its outcome. Someone may die, but probably not the main hero, for example. This predictability is desirable for many autistic people in a hobby, as it limits distressors.

Language used tends to be plainer, with less reliance on quick flying quips that are hard to hear/read fast enough, or clever implications in screenplay. Many other autistic people love complex "adult" film specifically because they are fluent in screenwriting and enjoy exercising that fluency. Many more autistic people never learned screenplay fluently. Pretending that all autistic people have the same level of fluency in screenplay is not conducive to having a genuine conversation on this subject. All of this information and more is available to you it you associate yourself with non-verbal, less verbal, and intellectually disabled autistic people right here on tumblr.

Children's media is often translated into more languages than adult media, especially with dubbing. Being able to hear and read the dialogue simultaneously is a super basic access issue that autistic people are stuck fighting all the damned time, and kid's shows are some of the very few types of mass accessible pop art that actively enable that.

Speaking of mass access: children's media is often very easy to access, with a tendency towards being hosted on multiple stream sites, broadcasting in syndication, etc. This means more autistic people have access to it, and thus by simple numbers, more of them will enjoy it than niche artforms we are rarely allowed to interact with freely.

Media consumption more broadly is a desirable hobby for many autistic people because it can be done alone or with friends, as one's energy levels allow, and both forms can be similarly gratifying. This is a level of control over socialization that is very rare for most autistic people.

You'll also find trends of autistic people gathering around other subjects that have these qualities, not just children's media. Just off the top of my head, both kink and train collecting meet these standards, particularly as regards control, stressors, and access; both are also famous for being disproportionately autistic.

Indeed, this tendency to gather around accessible, controllable hobbies that can be engaged with alone or in small groups creates the very notion of "cringe."

People don't think watching kid's shows is bad in a vacuum: they think that autistic people are shameful, and thus anything we congregate around is shameful too. Including watching kid's shows.

Pretending that autistic people don't have an above average level of interest in media made for kids is nonsense. It's nonsense. It actively worsens everyone's perception of both the diversity of autistic experiences. You can claim that anti-bullying campaigns are bad for autistic people all you like, but no amount of research has ever or will ever back up that claim.

Either you are lying, or you have been lied to.

Autistic people are so well known for this that it's literally how we are identified socially AND diagnosed medically.

That's the reality.

No matter how much you hate it: other autistic people are still going to be drawn to hobbies you don't share, and they are still going to be abused for it. Including so-called """baby movies."""

Enjoying media you don't is not grounds to say that actually the abuse other people face is made up and doesn't need to be addressed.

Liking kid's shows is morally neutral.

You must acknowledge it as a morally neutral statement of fact, not an accusation of personal failing. Liking kid's shows is no better, no worse, no different from liking mid-16th century tapestry, or artsy experimental music from cities I've never heard of in countries I've never visited.

If you cannot even admit that all non-violent hobbies are equally legitimate, then we have no common ground upon which to continue a discussion.

As long as you operate under the presumption that any autistic who is less complex in their interests than you is not worth acknowledging, then you are not worth this discussion. You can try again when you've learned not to be pro-bullying.

Which brings me to

2: You are still, right now, loudly and proudly insisting that being anti-bullying is Bad Actually.

Once you've accepted the fundamentally morally neutral nature of being into something kinda "cringe," ask yourself why your reaction to anti-bullying campaigns rooted in that neutrality is to separate yourself from the other autistic people demanding to be treated with the basest level of human respect.

To then pass on blatant lies about those people (whether knowingly or by mistake), and claim that they are hurting themselves. To demand that those people "stop hurting themselves" by obeying your rules. Rules that, whether you wish to admit it or not, were very obviously made out of ignorance and will very obviously cause great harm.

Those lies are now fueling hatred of a damn anti bullying campaign. The single most milquetoast conceivable.

Furthermore, this is an anti bullying campaign modeled off some of the most successful abuse interventions for autistic people that have been studied to date. It is a campaign started by other autistic people to protect ourselves from the heaps of ableist abuse we receive daily.

And you loathe it enough to join this cavalcade.

But see: the anti bullying campaigns work. They save lives. They improve quality of life in every measurable field. And they have done for literally decades. This is a closed matter. A proven fact.

Whereas spreading misinformation about the diversity of autistic experiences actively worsens that quality of life. Another proven fact, actually.

Your choice is between a proven benefit to autistic people started by and for us. Or a proven detriment that causes huge amount of death in our community.

And right now, with all your genteel kindness, silk gloves and sweet honey? You've chosen "do the thing that makes autistic people suicidal". Worse, you've convinced yourself that this is a good thing. That increased suicidality and abuse benefits all autistic people because the method thereof happens to benefit you.

I don't know how you think it benefits you. Maybe it makes you feel safer in allistic society. Maybe it just boosts your ego with a rush of vicious justice serving glee. Probably it's something else entirely.

Whatever the reason, you've nevertheless chosen the second most common cause of death among autistic people ages 10-35 as the thing you want to support.

See, telling people not to be abusive shitheads because like 70% of their abuse is rooted in an unexamined hatred of disabled people is not """"shoving politics where it doesn't belong"""" or whatever else. It's identifying and acknowledging the root issue, and attempting to actively address it.

So, with all that out of the way:

WHY did you think sending me this misinformation would make me more sympathetic to the literally dozens of people who have done nothing but harass me for 13 fucking hours now?

Dealing with challenges in Quality Evidence Generation with a Real-Time Analytical Framework that makes Clinical Sense for Innovators

Evidence linking interventions with health outcomes is vital for healthcare decision-making. Making sound choices about healthcare requires the best possible and quality evidence from clinical research. However, some of the decisions currently made during the drug development process are not supported by high-quality evidence.  As such, making informed decisions for allocating adequate resources to guide clinical Research development becomes challenging. At mid-stage clinical development, the challenge entails in determining the specific indication, if there are multiple potential indications. Moreover, evidence that is complete for some individuals or groups may be incomplete for others, leading to inefficiencies in decision-making.

Evidence generation strategies are especially important at Phase III and Phase IV trials to allow for effective navigation through competitive and regulatory hurdles, while it may be difficult to effectively communicate potentially attractive product attributes to the stakeholders, especially when it has no clear advantage over comparators. Stakeholders also lack the evidence needed to make real-world decisions on approval, coverage and use of treatments as most current processes used in evidence generation focus narrowly on the safety and efficacy of treatment.

Datasets to inform real-time decision making

The traditional demarcation between pre- and post-approval phases does not fit many medical products, as regulatory decisions could be informed by the same evidence that informs the use and coverage decisions, though the criteria for decisions should not be the same for both cases. Validated tools, based on large datasets to help inform real-time decision making are invaluable, yet they are currently limited. When new treatments are approved, healthcare payers and those who participate in shared savings base coverage determination on their value which is calculated by the evidence of benefit and net costs. The incorporation of real-world data (RWD) and patient-reported outcomes (PRO) into the evidence generation process could assist in making coverage determinations by rendering clinical evidence and research more immediately translatable to the beneficiary population.

Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE)

Additionally, large differences usually exist between the evidence required for initial adopters, such as surveys and studies, and that required for most prospective randomized control trials (RCTs). While the healthcare community uses RWD and RWE to develop decision support tools for use in clinical practices, medical product developers use these data to support clinical trial designs and observational studies to generate innovative treatment approaches. FDA uses RWE and RWD to monitor adverse events, post-market safety of the drug, and to make regulatory decisions. While RWD can be collected from various sources such as electronic health records (EHRs) and product and disease registries, RWE can be generated by different study designs including observational studies and randomized trials.  

Aligning stakeholders for evidence generation

Aligning stakeholders is another big challenge of evidence generation as different stakeholders will have their own perspectives on uncertainties throughout the drug development lifecycle. Regulators may have different views as to what is acceptable to that of the patient. As such, it remains an industry-wide challenge to provide credible evidence for clinical research to innovators and investigators. Challenges exist for healthcare innovators to keep up to date with compliance and regulations about evidence generation as regulatory space evolves fast.

Because pharmaceutical companies tend to delegate evidence generation to individual departments that are often siloes, the process occurs sequentially, resulting in delays in crucial milestones such as getting regulatory approval before initiating an outcomes-based study.

https://www.futuremedicine.com/doi/10.2217/cer-2017-0073

An analytical framework model that makes clinical sense

There is a pressing need for high-quality evidence generation as regulators and payers seek more long-term data on product safety and effectiveness. As such, more efficient methodologies for generating evidence are required for decision-making, and to enhance clinical evidence collection and interpretation. An analytical framework model makes clinical sense as an evidentiary pathway, however, the challenge for investigators in evidence gathering is to fill out the framework. If the study design is weak, then the link in the evidence chain is also weak. Studies need to be carefully and prospectively designed, and opportunities exist to add well-designed studies into current practices. Study teams and researchers should consider how to most effectively translate diagnostic tests into practice needs within clinical settings.

Quality clinical evidence of safety and efficacy

The Jeeva™ eClinical Cloud platform provides clinical decision-makers with a modular and integrated approach to evidence planning and generation. From a single dashboard, study leaders can monitor data in real time to track safety and efficacy in representative patient populations across vast distances.

Jeeva™ enables quality clinical evidence generation to evaluate treatment safety and efficacy and tracks patients’ adherence to medications, in compliance with regulatory agencies such as Institutional Review Boards, EMA, FDA, and GDPR.

Digital-first approach to evidence generation

Study teams, innovators, drug developers, biopharmaceutical sponsors, clinical researchers, hospital sites and contract research organizations (CROs) face challenges to overcome the “no evidence, no implementation—no implementation, no evidence” paradox. Jeeva™ provides a new, digital-first, patient-centric approach to evidence generation that considers patients as partners for clinical trials, not merely subjects.  

The Jeeva™ eClinical Cloud is user-designed software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that allows volunteers to conveniently complete clinical trials wherever they are.

Improving Healthcare Efficiency: The Role of Workflow Automation

In the rapidly evolving field of healthcare, workflow automation has emerged as a game-changer, significantly impacting patient safety and reducing errors. The integration of automated systems into healthcare workflows not only streamlines processes but also addresses critical challenges, ensuring a higher standard of care.

1. Understanding Workflow Automation in Healthcare

Workflow automation involves using technology to manage and streamline repetitive tasks and processes. In healthcare, this means automating routine activities such as patient record management, appointment scheduling, and medication administration. The goal is to reduce manual intervention, minimize errors, and enhance overall efficiency.

2. Reducing Human Error

One of the primary benefits of workflow automation in healthcare is the reduction of human error. Manual data entry, for instance, is prone to mistakes that can have serious consequences. Automated systems, such as electronic health records (EHRs) and automated medication dispensing systems, help minimize these errors by ensuring accurate data entry and reducing the risk of miscommunication.

Automated reminders and alerts also play a crucial role. For example, automated reminders for medication administration help ensure that doses are given on time, preventing potentially harmful omissions or overdoses. Similarly, automated alerts can notify healthcare providers of critical lab results or potential drug interactions, allowing for timely intervention.

3. Enhancing Patient Safety

Patient safety is a top priority in healthcare, and workflow automation significantly contributes to this goal. Automated systems can track patient vitals, monitor changes in real time, and alert healthcare providers to any abnormalities. This real-time monitoring allows for prompt responses to potential issues, reducing the likelihood of adverse events.

Automated systems also improve accuracy in patient identification. Using technologies like barcode scanning and RFID tags, healthcare providers can ensure that the right patient receives the correct treatment, reducing the risk of errors associated with misidentification.

4. Improving Efficiency and Reducing Administrative Burden

Workflow automation streamlines administrative tasks, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care. For example, automated scheduling systems reduce the time spent on appointment management, while electronic prescription systems eliminate the need for handwritten prescriptions, reducing the risk of misinterpretation.

By automating routine administrative functions, healthcare facilities can improve overall efficiency, reduce waiting times for patients, and optimize resource allocation. This efficiency translates into better patient outcomes and a more organized healthcare environment.

5. Compliance and Record-Keeping

Compliance with regulatory standards is critical in healthcare. Workflow automation assists in maintaining accurate and up-to-date records, ensuring compliance with regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Automated documentation systems keep track of patient interactions, treatment plans, and consent forms, providing a comprehensive and accessible record that supports legal and regulatory compliance.

6. Case Studies and Real-World Examples

Several healthcare institutions have successfully implemented workflow automation with notable results. For instance, hospitals that adopted automated medication dispensing systems reported a significant decrease in medication errors and improved patient safety. Similarly, healthcare providers using electronic health records (EHRs) have experienced enhanced data accuracy and streamlined patient information management.

7. Future Trends and Considerations

As technology continues to advance, the potential for workflow automation in healthcare expands. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are poised to further enhance automation capabilities, providing even more sophisticated tools for error reduction and patient safety.

However, successful implementation requires careful planning and consideration. Healthcare providers must ensure that automated systems are integrated seamlessly into existing workflows and that staff are adequately trained to use the new technologies. Additionally, ongoing evaluation and updates are necessary to address any potential issues and adapt to evolving healthcare needs.

Conclusion

Workflow automation represents a significant advancement in healthcare, offering numerous benefits in terms of error reduction and patient safety. By automating routine tasks and processes, healthcare facilities can improve accuracy, enhance patient safety, and streamline operations. As technology continues to evolve, the role of automation in healthcare will likely become even more integral, driving further improvements in patient care and operational efficiency.

The Importance Of Best Gynecomastia Surgeon

Dealing with gynecomastia can be an emotionally challenging experience for many men. The condition, characterized by the enlargement of breast tissue, often leads to feelings of embarrassment and self-consciousness. The psychological impact of gynecomastia is significant, affecting self-esteem and body image. Men suffering from this condition may avoid situations that expose their chest, such as swimming or going to the gym. Gynecomastia surgery offers a solution, providing not only physical relief but also a boost in confidence. A skilled gyno surgeon can help patients overcome the stigma associated with the condition, leading to improved mental well-being. The decision to undergo gyno surgery is often motivated by the desire to regain a sense of normalcy. Men who suffer from gynecomastia may feel isolated, believing they are alone in their struggle. The condition can lead to anxiety and depression, particularly when it is severe. Consulting a gynecomastia doctor can be a turning point for many patients.

These specialists understand the emotional toll that gynecomastia can take and are equipped to offer both medical and psychological support. Gynecomastia surgery can be a transformative experience, helping individuals reclaim their confidence and improve their overall quality of life. Choosing the right gynecomastia surgeon is crucial in addressing the psychological impact of the condition. A specialized gyno surgeon is not only skilled in the technical aspects of the surgery but also sensitive to the emotional needs of their patients. They provide a comprehensive approach, addressing both the physical and mental aspects of gynecomastia. By discussing the potential outcomes and setting realistic expectations, a gynecomastia doctor helps patients feel more secure and informed about the process. This level of care ensures that patients are mentally prepared for the changes that come with gynecomastia surgery. Post-surgery, many men report a significant improvement in their self-esteem and body image.

The removal of excess breast tissue can lead to a more masculine chest appearance, which often translates into greater confidence. However, the psychological benefits of gyno surgery go beyond just physical changes. Patients often feel a sense of relief and empowerment, knowing they have taken control of their condition. A compassionate gynecomastia surgeon understands the importance of this emotional journey and supports their patients through the recovery process, ensuring they emerge not just physically transformed but also emotionally stronger. In conclusion, addressing the psychological impact of gynecomastia is just as important as the physical treatment. Gynecomastia surgery offers a path to both physical and emotional healing, helping men regain their confidence and improve their quality of life. By choosing a skilled gyno surgeon, patients can ensure they receive the comprehensive care needed to address all aspects of the condition. The support of a knowledgeable gynecomastia doctor can make all the difference in a patient's journey, providing the guidance and care necessary to overcome the emotional challenges of gynecomastia and embrace a more confident future.

[breastaugmentationforme]

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the size, improving the shape, or restoring the fullness of the breasts, often following pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. The possible outcomes of breast augmentation can vary depending on the techniques used, the patient's expectations, and individual anatomical characteristics. Here’s an overview of the possible results:

1. Increased Breast Volume

Larger Breast Size: The most obvious result of breast augmentation is an increase in breast size. This can range from a modest enhancement to a more significant increase, depending on the size and type of implants chosen or the amount of fat transferred in the case of fat grafting.

Enhanced Cleavage: Many patients experience more pronounced cleavage, especially if the implants are placed closer together or if a larger size is chosen.

2. Improved Breast Shape

Fuller, Rounder Breasts: Breast implants can provide a fuller, rounder appearance, which can be particularly beneficial for women who feel that their breasts are flat or lacking in volume.

Symmetry Correction: If there is a noticeable asymmetry between the breasts before surgery, implants can help create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance.

3. Restoration of Lost Volume

Post-Pregnancy or Weight Loss: Breast augmentation can restore volume that has been lost due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. This can help rejuvenate the breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance.

4. Increased Firmness

Firmer Feel: Depending on the type of implant used (silicone or saline), the breasts may feel firmer after augmentation. This can contribute to a more lifted and perky appearance.

5. Enhanced Confidence and Self-Esteem

Psychological Benefits: Many patients report increased confidence and satisfaction with their body image after breast augmentation. This can translate into greater self-esteem and comfort in social or intimate situations.

6. Natural-Looking Results

Natural Appearance: With advances in surgical techniques and implant technology, it is possible to achieve very natural-looking results. The implants can be tailored to fit the patient's body shape and proportions, ensuring that the breasts look and feel as natural as possible.

7. Long-Lasting Results

Durability: Modern breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, often remaining in place for many years. However, it is important to note that implants are not lifetime devices, and some patients may require replacement or revision surgery at some point.

8. Minimal Scarring

Discrete Scars: With careful surgical techniques, scars can be minimized and strategically placed to be as inconspicuous as possible, such as under the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit.

9. Customizable Outcomes

Tailored to Your Needs: The outcome of breast augmentation is highly customizable. Patients can work closely with their surgeon to choose the size, shape, and type of implants, as well as the placement method (above or below the muscle) to achieve the desired look.

Considerations and Potential Risks

While many patients are pleased with the results of their breast augmentation, it’s important to consider potential risks and complications, such as:

Capsular Contracture: This is a condition where scar tissue forms around the implant, causing it to harden and potentially distort the shape of the breast.

Implant Rupture or Leakage: Although rare, implants can rupture or leak over time, requiring further surgery to replace them.

Changes in Sensation: Some patients may experience changes in nipple or breast sensation following surgery, which can be temporary or, in some cases, permanent.

Need for Revision Surgery: Over time, some patients may choose or need to undergo additional surgery to adjust the size, replace aging implants, or address any complications.

In summary, breast augmentation can lead to a variety of positive outcomes, from enhanced breast size and shape to improved confidence. However, it’s essential to have realistic expectations and discuss all potential risks and benefits with a qualified plastic surgeon.
