Skilled communication: comments further to 'Creativity in clinical communication: from communication skills to skilled communication'.
Medical Education 2011: 45: 217-226 Objectives The view that training in communication skills produces skilled communication is sometimes criticised by those who argue that communication is individual and intuitive. We therefore examine the validity of the concept of communication as a skill and identify alternative principles to underpin future development of this field. Methods We criticall...
متن کاملEngineering nanoparticles to silence bacterial communication
The alarming spread of bacterial resistance to traditional antibiotics has warranted the study of alternative antimicrobial agents. Quorum sensing (QS) is a chemical cell-to-cell communication mechanism utilized by bacteria to coordinate group behaviors and establish infections. QS is integral to bacterial survival, and therefore provides a unique target for antimicrobial therapy. In this study...
متن کاملThe public world of insect vibrational communication.
Food webs involving plants, herbivorous insects and their predators account for 75% of terrestrial biodiversity (Price 2002). Within the abundant arthropod community on plants, myriad ecological and social interactions depend on the perception and production of plant-borne mechanical vibrations (Hill 2008). Study of ecological relationships has shown, for example, that termites monitor the vibr...
متن کاملWill climate change affect insect pheromonal communication?
Understanding how climate change will affect species interactions is a challenge for all branches of ecology. We have only limited understanding of how increasing temperature and atmospheric CO2 and O3 levels will affect pheromone-mediated communication among insects. Based on the existing literature, we suggest that the entire process of pheromonal communication, from production to behavioural...
متن کاملIntercellular Communication in an Insect Endocrine Gland
1. The parenchymal cells of the corpora allata (CA) of the cockroach Diploptera punctata are coupled through low-resistance intercellular pathways. 2. Extensive dye coupling of cells of CA from fourth instar and adult female cockroaches was revealed following iontophoretic injection of Lucifer Yellow. 3. Freeze-etch electron microscopy revealed numerous gap-junction-like particles in CA cell pl...
