The pace at which research discoveries are being converted to new anticancer therapeutics has been accelerating in recent years, as illustrated by the fact that the number of new anticancer therapeutics approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from 2009 to 2018 (yellow bar) was more than double the number approved by the agency in the previous decade (1999- 2008; blue bar). Adapted from the AACR Cancer Progress Report 2018 (Fig. 9). A featured survivor in the AACR Cancer Progress Report 2018, Ron Scolamiero (with his wife, Laurie) participated in a clinical trial of apalutamide, a new molecularly targeted therapeutic, to treat his prostate cancer.

    administrative sciences Article Enhancing Healthcare Decision-Making Process: Findings from Orthopaedic Field Irene Schettini * , Gabriele Palozzi and Antonio Chirico Department of Management and Law, University of Rome Tor Vergata, 00133 Rome, Italy; [email protected] (G.P.); [email protected] (A.C.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-0672-595-401 Received: 29 October 2020; Accepted: 20 November 2020; Published: 25 November 2020 Abstract: In the healthcare field, the decision-making process is part of the broad spectrum of “clinical reasoning”, which is recognised as the whole process by which a physician decides about patients’ treatments and cares. Several clinicians’ intrinsic variables lead to this decisional path. Little is known about the inference of these variables in triggering biases in decisions about the post-discharge period in the surgical field. Accordingly, this research aims to understand if and how cognitive biases can affect orthopaedists in decision-making regarding the follow-up after knee and hip arthroplasty. To achieve this goal, an interview-based explorative case study was run. Three key-decisional orthopaedic surgeons were interviewed through a quality control tool aimed at monitoring the causes and effects of cognitive distortions. Coherently with the literature, eight biases come to light. All the interviewees agree on the presence of four common biases in orthopaedic surgery (Affect heuristic, Anchoring, Halo effect, Saliency). The other biases (Groupthink, Availability, Overconfidence, Confirmation), instead, depending on specific physicians’ intrinsic variables; namely: (i) working experience; (ii) working context. This finding contributes to the debate about the application of cognitive tools as leverage for improving the quality of clinical decision-making process and, indirectly, enhancing better healthcare outcomes.

Mage Oral History Download the PDF: Mage_Rose_oral_history (130 kB) Office of NIH History and Stetten Museum Oral History with Dr. Rose Mage, NIAID August 22, 2018 GM: I am Dr. Gordon Margolin, volunteer in the Office of NIH History and Stetten Museum about to do an oral history with Dr. Rose G. Mage. She served as a Career Investigator in the NIAID Lab of Immunology, starting in 1965, and then as the Section Chief of the Molecular Immunogenetics section from 1988 until her retirement in 2008. We are here in the NIH Library’s audio-visual recording center on August 22, 2018. Thank you, Dr. Mage, for agreeing to record this history about you, your scientific accomplishments, and the time you spent here at NIH. Let’s begin by asking you to tell me a bit of your background, where you were raised, something about your family, and your educational pathway. RGM: I was born and raised in New York City. My father was an immigrant from Romania. He arrived in New York when he was 5 years old in 1905. I was named after his mother who died from typhoid in the 1920s. My mother was born in the USA but her family, three of her four older brothers were immigrants. I decided I wanted to be a scientist when I was about 9 years old, did well in public schools and skipped grades twice. I applied to the Bronx High School of Science and was accepted after taking a written test for admission.
