The Cognitive Evolution from "Plague" to "Infectious Disease".

According to the Grand Chinese Dictionary, plague is defined to be an acute infectious disease. The Chinese term "infectious disease" is not what it is commonly thought originated from Japanese. The medical nomenclature shift from the traditional "plague" to the modern "infectious disease" is completed by the medical missionaries, Chinese scholars, and the national authority, each utilising different strategies. It is a history of acceptance concerning the concept of "infectious disease" from academia to national level. The conscious use of infectious disease-related thought and terminology by…

PROMOTED-EM: Shifting Focus From Cataloging Barriers to Identifying Hidden Determinants of Advancement for Women in Academic Emergency Medicine.

Gender disparities in academic promotion persist despite decades of research documenting their scope. Women remain underrepresented at senior academic ranks in Emergency Medicine, with only 19% of full professors identifying as women. Existing literature has largely cataloged the barriers driving this gap-disproportionate clinical workloads, non-promotable labor burden, sponsorship deficits, and caregiving responsibilities-but has devoted comparatively little attention to the strategies women use to successfully navigate these barriers. This commentary proposes a shift in research focus: From
