The future of cardiovascular imaging and non-invasive diagnosis

Advances in medical imaging now make it possible to investigate any patient with cardiovascular disease using multiple methods which vary widely in their technical requirements, benefits, limitations and costs. The appropriate use of alternative tests requires their integration into joint clinical diagnostic services where experts in all methods collaborate. This statement summarises the principles that should guide developments in cardiovascular diagnostic services.This paper is published simultaneously in the European Heart Journal (2006;27:1750–1753) and in the European Journal of Echocardiography (2006;7:268–273).     

Medizinische Ökonomie in der Onkologie

Zusammenfassung In der Onkologie gewinnen medizinisch-ökonomische Aspekte eine immer größere Bedeutung. In Anbetracht des Anstiegs der Gesundheitsausgaben und der immer teureren Interventionen müssen Wege aufgezeigt werden, wie mit den vorhandenen finanziellen Mitteln Prioritäten gesetzt werden können. Die medizinische Ökonomie, eine vergleichsweise junge Wissenschaft, beschäftigt sich unter anderem mit der ökonomischen Bewertung medizinischer Technologien mit dem Ziel der Verbesserung der gesundheitspolitischen Entscheidungsfindung. Dieser Artikel beleuchtet die Grundlagen dieser Wissenschaft, einschließlich der ökonomischen Evaluation, im Kontext der internistischen Onkologie. Zweifelsohne wird die medizinische Ökonomie in Zukunft in der ärztlichen Fort- und Weiterbildung eine ähnlich wichtige Rolle spielen wie klinische Epidemiologie und evidenzbasierte Medizin.     

100米短跑技术改进对提高短跑成绩的教学研究

“百米是灵魂”体现了100米短跑成绩对于提高身体素质的影响；与短跑成绩相关的因素很多：步频、步幅、速度、耐力、爆发力以及肌肉、关节的柔韧性和协调性、运动员的心理素质和技术水平等。100米成绩好的学生，其他项目的成绩也比较突出，多年来的课堂教学实践也证明了这一点。由此，在较短的训练时间内，较大幅度的提高100米跑的成绩，经过大运动量、大强度的训练固然可以提高成绩，但经长期的教学研究发现，在教学中“突出跑的技术动作”的改进对于在短时间内提高百米成绩的影响不容忽视。     

Voices of the Afflicted

Over the past 10 years, I have been privileged to conduct educational forums for audiences containing many recovering alcoholics or otherwise chemically dependent persons. In these forums about the addictive diseases and their treatment and research possibilities, significant interaction with the audience members occurs. During these interactions, certain anecdotal phenomena seem to predominate. The repetitive nature of these reports suggests the need for systematic investigation. As with editorial comments in major medical journals, observed phenomena and unanswered questions from those afflicted can be valuable in the generation of testable hypotheses. Perhaps the ideas presented herein will be useful in the development of future research on alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence.     

Rehabilitation: the Cinderella of neurological research? A bibliometric study

Rehabilitation is under-represented in the neurological literature on disabling diseases. A Medline search was conducted to retrieve the articles published between January 1991 and June 1994 under the main headings of Stroke, Parkinson's disease, Multiple sclerosis, Brain injury, Ataxia and Dementia. These were then combined with the sub-heading Rehabilitation. The former search yielded 27724 articles, the latter 1272 (4.6%). In 1992, the Journal of Citation Reports (JCR) assigned to Journals publishing rehabilitation papers an average Impact Factor (IF) of 0.7–2.8 (median 1.8): that is, 31–90% (depending on the various main headings, median 68%) of the average IF given to Journals publishing non-rehabilitation papers. In the present study, the weight of the literature was defined as the product of the number of articles multiplied by the IF of the corresponding Journal (IF=0 for non-JCR Journals). Across the various neurologic conditions, the weight of the Rehab literature was 0.1–7% (median 2%) of the weight of the non-Rehab literature. The results suggest that neurology is still reluctant to face the disability challenge.

Sommario La riabilitazione è scarsamente rappresentata nella letteratura neurologica sulle patologie che causano disabilità. Gli Autori hanno interrogato la banca-dati Medline nella ricerca degli articoli pubblicati fra il Gennaio 1991 ed il Giugno 1994 sotto le parole-chiave Stroke, Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain injury, Ataxia e Dementia. È stato poi eseguito un incrocio con la parola-chiave secondaria Riabilitazione.La prima ricerca ha prodotto 27724 articoli mentre la seconda ne ha prodotti 1272 (4.6%). Nel 1992 il Journal of Citation Reports (JCR) ha attribuito alle Riviste che hanno pubblicato articoli con tema riabilitativo un Impact Factor (IF) medio di 0.7–2.8 (mediana 1.8), pari al 31–90% (a seconda della parola-chiave principale: mediana delle percentuali 68%) dell'IF medio attribuito alle Riviste che hanno pubblicato soltanto articoli su temi non riabilitativi. In questo studio è stato definito come peso della letteratura il prodotto del numero di articoli per l'IF delle rispettive Riviste (IF=0 per le Riviste non censite dal JCR). A seconda delle diverse patologie neurologiche, il peso della letteratura riabilitativa variava fra 0.1 e 7% (mediana 2%) del peso della letteratura non riabilitativa.I risultati suggeriscono che la Neurologia sia ancora riluttante ad affrontare la sfida che le pone la disabilità.

conference report: Mental health and intellectual disability: an international perspective

The present paper reports on the inaugural meeting of the Mental Health Special Interest Research Group (SIRG) of the International Association for the Scientific study of Intellectual disability which was held at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, UK, in March 1998. The meeting was organized in conjunction with the Ninth Annual SIRG on ageing and intellectual disability. Representatives from North America, several European and Scandinavian countries, Australia, and Israel attended. Two broad themes had been determined prior to the meeting: ‘Improving the detection of mental health problems’ and ‘Research strategies for identifying risk factors for mental health problems’. In the presentations and subsequent discussions, it was apparent that there were extrenely diverse perspectives both across and within the different countries represented. Not only were individuals' experiences very different, but most strikingly, the theoretical frameworks were very diverse. This was partly a function of there being understandable differences in perspectives across disciplines, but at its most marked, there were fundamental differences in the way both intellectual disability and mental health were conceptualized.
