| usmle content outline 2014: Lifestyle Medicine Jeffrey I. Mechanick, Robert F. Kushner, 2025-05-26 This book represents the third in a series of Springer textbooks on Lifestyle Medicine by Dr. Mechanick and Dr. Kushner. The first book focused on theory and practice concepts. The second book focused on implementation with a specific tactic of building a lifestyle medicine center. This third book focuses on scientific evidence to close research gaps, knowledge gaps, and practice gaps. The general intent is to imbue the field of lifestyle medicine with scientific evidence. The other intent is to continue advancing a culture of preventive care for chronic disease using lifestyle medicine, but again through a tactic of emphasizing science, evidence, and critical thinking. Lifestyle Medicine: Closing Research, Practice, and Knowledge Gaps is organized into three sections. In the first section, driver-based chronic disease models and other elements that pertain to lifestyle medicine are explored in terms of current levels of scientific substantiation. In the second section, educational modalities are presented that can improve awareness of scientific and experiential knowledge by healthcare professionals. Topics include innovative teaching models, web-based activities, training and accreditation programs, and certification exams. In the third section, a variety of clinical scenarios are presented to highlight practice gaps – implementation issues where there is inadequate clinical action despite an awareness of the pertinent knowledge. The topics span critical domains that must be addressed so that lifestyle medicine can lead to favorable outcomes in people and populations at risk. These domains include: alcohol and substance abuse, colitis, brain health, environmental risk, pharmacotherapy de-escalation, routine change, socioeconomics, transculturalization, advanced analytics, home cardiac rehabilitation, digital twin technology, and a highly referenced discussion of the lifestyle medicine ecosystem and infrastructure. Care is taken to provide not only theoretical foundations but also case studies, where appropriate, to emphasize critical aspects. In conclusion, this third book on Lifestyle Medicine will complement the previous two Springer books and define a compendium of resources necessary for anyone interested in this field. |

| usmle content outline 2014: Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Science Education, Board on Testing and Assessment, Committee on Developing Assessments of Science Proficiency in K-12, 2014-05-29 Assessments, understood as tools for tracking what and how well students have learned, play a critical role in the classroom. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards develops an approach to science assessment to meet the vision of science education for the future as it has been elaborated in A Framework for K-12 Science Education (Framework) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These documents are brand new and the changes they call for are barely under way, but the new assessments will be needed as soon as states and districts begin the process of implementing the NGSS and changing their approach to science education. The new Framework and the NGSS are designed to guide educators in significantly altering the way K-12 science is taught. The Framework is aimed at making science education more closely resemble the way scientists actually work and think, and making instruction reflect research on learning that demonstrates the importance of building coherent understandings over time. It structures science education around three dimensions - the practices through which scientists and engineers do their work, the key crosscutting concepts that cut across disciplines, and the core ideas of the disciplines - and argues that they should be interwoven in every aspect of science education, building in sophistication as students progress through grades K-12. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards recommends strategies for developing assessments that yield valid measures of student proficiency in science as described in the new Framework. This report reviews recent and current work in science assessment to determine which aspects of the Framework's vision can be assessed with available techniques and what additional research and development will be needed to support an assessment system that fully meets that vision. The report offers a systems approach to science assessment, in which a range of assessment strategies are designed to answer different kinds of questions with appropriate degrees of specificity and provide results that complement one another. Developing Assessments for the Next Generation Science Standards makes the case that a science assessment system that meets the Framework's vision should consist of assessments designed to support classroom instruction, assessments designed to monitor science learning on a broader scale, and indicators designed to track opportunity to learn. New standards for science education make clear that new modes of assessment designed to measure the integrated learning they promote are essential. The recommendations of this report will be key to making sure that the dramatic changes in curriculum and instruction signaled by Framework and the NGSS reduce inequities in science education and raise the level of science education for all students. |

| usmle content outline 2014: Temporomandibular Disorders National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Health and Medicine Division, Board on Health Care Services, Board on Health Sciences Policy, Committee on Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs): From Research Discoveries to Clinical Treatment, 2020-07-01 Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), are a set of more than 30 health disorders associated with both the temporomandibular joints and the muscles and tissues of the jaw. TMDs have a range of causes and often co-occur with a number of overlapping medical conditions, including headaches, fibromyalgia, back pain and irritable bowel syndrome. TMDs can be transient or long-lasting and may be associated with problems that range from an occasional click of the jaw to severe chronic pain involving the entire orofacial region. Everyday activities, including eating and talking, are often difficult for people with TMDs, and many of them suffer with severe chronic pain due to this condition. Common social activities that most people take for granted, such as smiling, laughing, and kissing, can become unbearable. This dysfunction and pain, and its associated suffering, take a terrible toll on affected individuals, their families, and their friends. Individuals with TMDs often feel stigmatized and invalidated in their experiences by their family, friends, and, often, the health care community. Misjudgments and a failure to understand the nature and depths of TMDs can have severe consequences - more pain and more suffering - for individuals, their families and our society. Temporomandibular Disorders: Priorities for Research and Care calls on a number of stakeholders - across medicine, dentistry, and other fields - to improve the health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. This report addresses the current state of knowledge regarding TMD research, education and training, safety and efficacy of clinical treatments of TMDs, and burden and costs associated with TMDs. The recommendations of Temporomandibular Disorders focus on the actions that many organizations and agencies should take to improve TMD research and care and improve the overall health and well-being of individuals with a TMD. |
