Look Back

Medicine has always reflected the behavior of its practitioners. It can look back on an impressive history with the Hippocratic Oath, which is approximately 2000 to 2500 years old. But despite this history, the question remains why there should be medical ethics or whether it is not sufficient to demand morally of a physician what is to be demanded of every citizen anyway.

Background: We compared medical secondary prevention in patients with peripheral arterial disease stage II (Fontaine) located in the femoro-popliteal artery managed by vascular surgeons and medical doctors / angiologists in our multidisciplinary vascular center. Patients and methods: We retrospectively analyzed demission protocols of in-hospital treatments between 01.01.2007 and 20.06.2008. Results: We surveyed 264 patients (54.2 % women; mean age 67.52 ± 8.98 yrs), 179 (67.8 %) primarily treated by medical doctors / angiologists and 85 (32.2 %) primarily managed by vascular surgeons. Medical doctors / angiologists treated more women (n = 109) than men (n = 34), (p = 0.002) and documented smoking and diabetes mellitus more often (p < 0.001) than vascular surgeons. Besides, patients had similar cardiovascular risk profiles and concomitant diseases, vascular surgeons prescribed 5.47 ± 2.26 drugs, medical doctors / angiologists 6.37 ± 2.67 (p = 0.005). Overall, 239 (90.5 %) patients were on aspirin, 180 (68.2 %) on clopidogrel, and 18 (6.9 %) on oral anticoagulants. Significantly more patients treated by medical doctors / angiologists received clopidogrel (169 versus 11; p < 0.001), significantly more surgical patients received oral anticoagulants (11 versus 7; p = 0.016). The number of patients without prescriptions for any antithrombotic therapy was 6 (6.9 %) in patients treated by vascular surgeons and 0 (0 %) in patients managed by medical doctors / angiologists (p = 0.001). Prescription-rates of β-blockers, ACE-inhibitors, Angiotensin II-antangonists, calcium channel blockers, and diuretics were statistically not different between the two disciplines, but statins were prescribed significantly more often by medical doctors / angiologists (139 versus 49; p < 0001). With the exceptions of Clopidogrel (women > men) and diuretics (men > women) we observed no gender-specific prescriptions. Conclusions: We observed high prescriptions rates of secondary medical prevention in patients primarily treated by medical doctors / angiologists and vascular surgeons. We believe that this result is highly influenced by our multidisciplinary approach. Nevertheless, efforts have to be made to raise vascular surgeon’s awareness of statin use and complete prescription of antithrombotic and antiplatelet drugs.

Cord Injury

Neurosurgery is among the newest of surgical disciplines, appearing in its modern incarnation at the dawn of twentieth century with the work of Harvey Cushing and contemporaries. Neurosurgical ethics involves challenges of manipulating anatomical locus of human identity and concerns of surgeons and patients who find themselves bound together in that venture.In recent years, neurosurgery ethics has taken on greater relevance as changes in society and technology have brought novel questions into sharp focus. Change of expanded armamentarium of techniques for interfacing with the human brain and spine— demand that we use philosophical reasoning to assess merits of technical innovations.Bioethics can be defined as systematic study of moral challenges in medicine, including moral vision, decisions, conduct, and policies related to medicine. Every surgeon should still take the Hippocratic Oath seriously and consider it a basic guide to follow good medical ethics in medical practice. It is simple and embodies three of the four modern bioethics principles – Respecting autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice.Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition often affecting young and healthy individuals around the world. Currently, scientists are pressured on many fronts to develop an all-encompassing “cure” for paralysis. While scientific understanding of central nervous system (CNS) regeneration has advanced greatly in the past years, there are still many unknowns with regard to inducing successful regeneration. A more realistic approach is required if we are interested in improving the quality of life of a large proportion of the paralyzed population in a more expedient time frame.

BACKGROUND Healthcare has increased its use of information technology over the last few years. A trend followed higher usage of Electronic Health Record in low-and-middle-income countries where doctors use non-medical applications and websites for healthcare-related tasks. Information security awareness and practices are essential to reduce the risk of breaches. OBJECTIVE To assess the internal reliability of the Spanish translation of three areas of the Human Aspects of Information Security Questionnaire (HAIS-Q), and to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of medical doctors around information security. METHODS This is a cross-sectional descriptive study designed as a questionnaire-based. We used focus areas (Password management, social media use, and mobile devices use) from the Human Aspects of Information Security Questionnaire (HAIS-Q). Medical doctors in Ecuador answered an online survey between December 2017 and January 2018. RESULTS A total of 434 health professionals (response rate: 0.65) completed all the questions in our study. Scores were 37.4 (SD 5.9) for Password Management, 35.4 (SD 5.0) for Social Media Use and 35.9 (SD 5.7) for Mobile Devices. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (α) was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.75, 0.81) for password management, 0.73 (95%CI: 0.69, 0.77) for mobile devices and 0.77 (95% CI: 0.73, 0.78) for Social Media Use. CONCLUSIONS Our study shows that three components of the Spanish translation of the HAIS-Q questionnaire were internally reliable when applied in medical doctors. Medical doctors with eagerness to receive infosec training scored higher in social media use and mobile device use categories.
