Postgraduate qualifications of British doctors

Among British-qualified doctors of 1974 and 1977, about 80% held postgraduate qualifications of some kind. The commonest qualifications were DRCOG, MRCP and MRCOG. There were considerable differences between medical schools in the numbers of qualifiers taking various examinations. Apart from the MRC Psych, DRCOG and Family Planning Certificate, qualifications were more commonly held by men than women. Tables show the type of work being done 9-13 years after leaving medical school by holders of various postgraduate qualifications; e.g. 60% of MRCP holders were working in medicine or a medical specialty and 84% of FRCS holders in general surgery or a surgical specialty. Discussion deals with the plurality, specificity, variability, perceived necessity, sufficiency, international utility and career significance of British postgraduate qualifications.

中国急性心肌梗塞的疾病经济负担

主要通过对急性心肌梗塞疾病经济负担的研究，总体描述进行二线预防的重要性。资料主要来源于中文文献检索、政府统计报表。主要利用直接医疗费用来计算疾病经济负担，而未考虑直接非医疗费用和间接费用。中日急性心肌梗塞的发病率约为45／10万。55／10万。城市高于农村，男性高于女性。在2000年，急性心肌梗塞的死亡率在城市为32．39／10万，农村为17．99／10万，其死亡率随年龄增长而相应增长。与发病率一样，城市高于农村，男性高于女性。25岁以上人群因急性心肌梗塞而损失的DALY在2000年为3．57DALYs／千人口。怎性心肌梗塞的直接医疗费用在国家卫生部部属医院为28257元／例，省级医院为8663元／例，县级医院为5447无／例。测算2000年急性心肌梗塞的疾病经济负担为13亿元。19亿元。但由于只有10．6％的急性心肌梗塞病人得到临床床治疗，因此，本测算结果可能低估了在中国实际发生的疾病经济负担。

Medical management of chronic pancreatitis

慢性胰腺炎的临床表现包括疼痛、脂肪泻和糖尿病。在西方国家，慢性胰腺炎最常见的病因是酗酒。70％以上的病人在就诊时有疼痛的临床表现，而且，这些患者中又有75％以上会在几年之后出现疼痛减轻或完全消失。对于所有的慢性胰腺炎的病人来说，均应排除非胰源性疼痛和胆道梗阻、胰腺假性囊肿等胰腺局部并发症。应建议所有慢性胰腺炎病人戒烟、戒酒。阿片类镇痛剂仅应用于治疗疼痛严重的病人。尽管有报道认为胰酶替代治疗有助于止痛，但是，对于已经确诊的慢性胰腺炎病人来说，该疗法无效。激素类药物进行腹腔神经丛阻滞术可能有助于病人度过剧烈疼痛期。顽固性疼痛是进行胰液引流或胰腺切除的适应证。建议应用适量胰酶替代联合(或不联合)制酸剂治疗营养不良。慢性胰腺炎导致的糖尿病与原发性糖尿病的治疗原则相似。     

A programme for treating chemically dependent medical students

Summary. The first American programme for chemically dependent medical students at the University of Tennessee, Memphis is described. The goals of the Aid for the Impaired Medical Student (AIMS) Program are to provide confidential treatment for chemically dependent medical students, to assure that recovering students are able to resume their education, and to protect patients and others from the harm that may be caused by impaired students. The Program is administered by the AIMS Council, consisting of medical professionals and elected student representatives. The Council oversees the management of cases, including investigation of students who may be impaired, intervention when chemical dependency is suspected, diagnostic evaluation, treatment and aftercare, and post-recovery advocacy for students. The Program's experience includes 18 cases of suspected chemical dependency, with four self-referrals and 14 students referred by third parties. Eleven students have been diagnosed as chemically dependent and have completed treatment programmes. Nine have maintained recovery and eight have graduated. One student subsequently relapsed and committed suicide. Obstacles in programme implementation have involved absence of perceived need, the view that chemically dependent students should be dismissed from school, and reluctance of students to report classmates. Resources have included highly respected student representatives, a supportive administration, assistance of the impaired physicians programme, and medical insurance and professional courtesy to defray costs. Although the number treated has been modest, the AIMS Program is an important vehicle for training students regarding chemical dependency and their professional obligations toward impaired colleagues.
