Inequalities in health: raising awareness among health authority staff

A postal survey of all staff working for Bro Taf Health Authority (n = 237) was carried out during August and September 1998. The survey was concerned with tackling inequalities in health in terms of involvement, information needs, priorities and working patterns. The aim was to raise awareness of the Health Authority's commitment to tackling inequalities in health and to collect employees' opinions on methods of working effectively towards greater equity. The response rate was higher for senior grades (63%) than for basic grades (26%). Not all employees had access to background documents and many expressed a need for more information. There was a strong feeling that a change in working patterns would be beneficial and staff were particularly concerned that internal communications should be improved. The survey provided a good opportunity to raise awareness of health inequality issues and was beneficial in providing an opportunity for staff to express their opinions anonymously. Some suggestions have already been implemented and others are incorporated in the Health Authority's Equity Strategy.

Enhancing performance of protein and gene name recognizers with filtering and integration strategies

Named entity (NE) recognition is a fundamental task in biological relationship mining. This paper considers protein/gene collocates extracted from biological corpora as restrictions to enhance the precision rate of protein/gene name recognition. In addition, we integrate the results of multiple NE recognizers to improve the recall rates. Yapex and KeX, and ABGene and Idgene are taken as examples of protein and gene name recognizers, respectively. The precision of Yapex increases from 70.90 to 85.84% at the low expense of the recall rate (i.e., it only decreases 2.44%) when collocates are incorporated. When both filtering and integration strategies are employed together, the Yapex-based integration with KeX shows good performance, i.e., the F-score increases by 7.83% compared to the pure Yapex method. The results of gene recognition show the same tendency. The ABGene-based integration with Idgene shows a 10.18% F-score increase compared to the pure ABGene method. These successful methodologies can be easily extended to other name finders in biological documents.

Policy formation in gamete donation and egg sharing in the UK--a critical appraisal

This article considers two key policy documents concerning donor-assisted conception in the UK, The British Fertility Society's Recommendations for Good Practice on the Screening of Egg and Embryo Donors and the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority's Guidance for Egg Sharing Arrangements. It discusses both the process and the evidence used in formulating those sections of the documents which relate to donor anonymity. The paper concludes that psycho-social policy developments in assisted conception, such as those relating to donor anonymity, should be subjected to comparable levels of rigour and scrutiny to those that are applied in the formulation of medical and scientific policies.     

痧症简史

依据历代医学献,探讨痧症的演变历史。痧症最早见于晋代《肘后备急方》,指恙虫病。宋元时期,痧症包括艾灸后皮肤出现如砂样斑点的疾病、水伤寒、干霍乱、水沙等。明清以降,以痧命名的病症逐渐增至百种以上,涵盖内科、外科、妇科、儿科、五官科等,并出现了与伤寒、杂病混淆不清的状况。提示开展痧症病名的系统整理研究,最终规范痧症病名的使用,十分必要。
