Summary: This study investigates the impact of the Oncotype Dx Genomic Prostate Score (GPS) on urologists' treatment preference for favorable risk prostate cancer. The findings suggest that GPS testing reduces the likelihood of urologists recommending active surveillance.

Summary: This research surveyed 265 healthcare professionals in the U.S. to understand their views on AI, including trust, concerns, and impact on their workload. The study found that clinicians who see AI as a workload reducer are more likely to trust and use it in clinical decision making, while those perceiving higher risks are less inclined to adopt it. The study emphasizes the necessity of strategic AI integration into healthcare and viewing AI as a supportive tool rather than a disruptive entity.

Summary: Although women make up 50% of medical school graduates, they account for less than 30% of neurosurgery residency applicants and less than 10% of neurosurgeons. This study aims to investigate the reasons behind the low entry rate of female medical students into neurosurgery and identify the factors contributing to specialty decision-making and perceptions of neurosurgery among medical students and residents.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the differences between underrepresented minority (URM) and non-URM medical students and residents in terms of specialty decision-making and perceptions of neurosurgery. The results showed that URM medical students had a higher consideration of research opportunities in their specialty decision-making. Additionally, URM residents had a lower consideration of the technical skills required, their perceived fit in the field, and the representation of people like them in the field when making specialty decisions. Furthermore, URM residents were more concerned about the opportunity to work on health equity issues in neurosurgery.

Summary: The study found that a better shared decision-making (SDM) process was associated with improved affective-cognitive outcomes among patients screened for lung cancer. Patients with higher SDM process scores showed greater knowledge of lung cancer screening, less decisional conflict, and increased intentions to adhere to screening recommendations and undergo screening again.

Summary: When facing global threats, individuals perceive health risks differently for themselves and others, and these perceptions are related to psychological well-being and behavioral responses. Personal risk perception is associated with happiness, while both personal and public risk perception predict anxiety. Protective behaviors are motivated more by perceived risk to the population than to oneself.

Summary: This study analyzed guidance about medical decision making contained in ethics codes, finding that most national codes mention informed decision making while fewer mention shared decision making. It is suggested that updates to the codes could promote adequate standards of medical decision making.

Summary: In older adults, those with an overestimation of the potential for cancerous transformation in polyps are more likely to opt for future colonoscopy. Ensuring older adults have a proper understanding of the risks associated with polyps is crucial in improving decision making regarding surveillance colonoscopy.

Summary: The study investigated biases in perceptual decision making may depend on discriminability of choice outcomes and outcome valence, finding that choices in the task were largely insensitive to outcome valence, while EV curvature could be an important factor when interpreting performance in such tasks. Choices may be biased towards high EV curvature regions.

Summary: This study used fNIRS brain imaging technique to investigate the decision-making behavior and brain activity of smartphone addicts under varying risk levels. Results showed that high-risk levels led to weaker decision-making ability and increased risk-taking for addicts. However, at low-risk levels, no significant differences were found between addicts and healthy individuals. Furthermore, stronger brain activation was observed in the dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex (dlPFC) region for smartphone addicts under loss outcome conditions. These findings are critical for promoting healthy smartphone use, guiding clinical treatment, and advancing brain mechanism research.

Summary: This study explores the perspectives of transgender adolescents, their parents, and clinicians on the medical decision-making competence (MDC) to start puberty suppression (PS). The findings suggest that assessing MDC is challenging, but understanding, appreciating, reasoning, and communicating a choice are important criteria. While most participants believe understanding and appreciating PS is important for MDC, they also acknowledge that adolescents may not fully comprehend the consequences. Parental support is considered essential in the decision-making process, and clinicians find it difficult to assess and implement MDC consistently.
