AbstractThe institutionalization of Western allopathic medicine in colonial India had significant implications for the cultural politics of the early twentieth century. The introduction of vaccinations, the establishment of hospitals and dispensaries, scientific discourses on hygiene, bacteriology, and nutrition, the emergence of obstetrics and gynecology as medical disciplines, and the commercialization of medicine—to name but a few aspects of the institutionalization or elements leading thereto—were all topics that also concerned the Hindi literary sphere. This essay investigates how the Hindi literary public tackled the colonial state’s promotion of allopathy and modern sciences while, within the same discourse, it (re)discovered, systemized, and modernized indigenous medical knowledge traditions—most notably Ayurveda but also homespun remedies and folk medicine—for the prevention, treatment, and cure of disease. Prose fiction and prose essays, alongside advertisements in Hindi periodicals, testify to a range of opinions on what constituted a “healthy” blend of diverse “Eastern” and diverse “Western” medical traditions. This essay argues that the Hindi discourse on medicine and colonial modernity was steered by gendered nationalist politics, modern Western sciences, and commercial interests in maintaining a healthy body and working toward a healthy nation.

ABSTRACT  The in-training examination (ITE) offers formative assessments of residents' developing medical knowledge. Identification of an ITE performance level associated with success on the specialty board examination allows identification of “at risk” residents.Background  This study sought to identify a threshold score for obstetrics and gynecology residents' performance on the Council on Resident Education in Obstetrics and Gynecology (CREOG) ITE that predicts successful performance on the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) written examination.Objective  We analyzed ITE and ABOG results of 80 residents who completed 4 years of CREOG ITEs at 2 institutions between 2002 and 2012. We assessed the level of performance associated with successful performance on the ABOG written examination.Methods  Data analyzed included scores for 71 of 80 residents (89%), with an overall pass rate of 82%. A postgraduate year (PGY) 4 score of 200 on the CREOG ITE or twice in any of the PGY training years was associated with a 100% ABOG pass rate. Scoring ≥ 205 in any PGY also was associated with a 100% pass rate. Residents who did not attain a score of 200 had a 35% to 45% chance of failing the ABOG written examination, depending on the PGY of the ITE performance.Results  Our findings suggest that a CREOG ITE score of at least 200 twice, or as a PGY-4, offers assurance of successful performance on the ABOG examination. Scores lower than this threshold may be used to identify “at risk” residents for added learning and provide program elements in need of improvement.Conclusions

Abstract:The developers of reviewing systems that rely on computer-based patient-record systems as a source of data need to model reviewing knowledge and medical knowledge. We simulate how the same medical knowledge could be entered in four different systems: CARE, the Arden syntax, Essential-attending and HyperCritic. We subsequently analyze how the original knowledge is represented in the symbols or syntax used by these systems. We conclude that these systems provide different alternatives in dealing with the vocabulary provided by the computer-based patient records. In addition, the use of computer-based patient records for review poses new challenges for the content of that record: to facilitate review, the reasoning of the physician needs to be captured in addition to the actions of the physician.

Ecg Interpretation

AbstractThe main lines ofthe program designed for the interpretation of ECGs, developed in Padova by LADSEB-CNR with the cooperation of the Medical School of the University of Padova are described. In particular, the strategies used for (i) morphology recognition, (ii) measurement evaluation, and (iii) linguistic decision making are illustrated. The main aspect which discerns this program in comparison with other approaches to computerized electrocardiography is its ability of managing the imprecision in both the measurements and the medical knowledge through the use of fuzzy-set methodologies. So-called possibility distributions are used to represent ill-defined parameters as well as threshold limits for diagnostic criteria. In this way, smooth conclusions are derived when the evidence does not support a crisp decision. The influence of the CSE project on the evolution of the Padova program is illustrated.

SummaryA prospective, open-label multicenter investigation has been conducted to compare pharmacokinetic parameters of recombinant DNA-derived FVIII (rFVIII) and plasma-derived FVIII concentrate (pdFVIII) and to assess safety and efficacy of long-term home-treat- ment with rFVIII for subjects with hemophilia A. Following comparative in vivo pharmacokinetic studies, 69 patients with severe (n = 67) or moderate (n = 2) hemophilia A commenced a program of home treatment using rFVIII exclusively for prophylaxis and treatment of all bleeding episodes for a period of 1.0 to 5.7 years (median 3.7 years). The mean in vivo half-lives of rFVIII and pdFVIII were both 14.7 h. In vivo incremental recoveries at baseline were 2.40%/IU/kg and 2.47%/IU/kg, respectively (p = 0.59). The response to home treatment with rFVIII was categorized as good or excellent in 3,195 (91.2%) of 3,481 evaluated bleeding episodes. Thirteen patients received rFVIII for prophylaxis for twenty-four surgical procedures. In all cases, hemostasis was excellent. Adverse reactions were observed in only 13 of 13,591 (0.096%) infusions of rFVIII; none was serious. No patient developed an inhibitor to r FVIII.

Por circunstâncias relacionadas à minha titulação, acabei designado pela Universidade Castelo Branco do Rio de Janeiro (UCB) para avaliar uma parceria proposta pela Escola de Osteopatia de Madri (EOM). À época, em 1997, a EOM propunha que a UCB passasse a organizar academicamente os cursos de osteopatia que a referida Escola já vinha ministrando no Brasil, com vistas a, no futuro, torná-lo um curso de pós-graduação. Algumas viagens à Madri para observar a estrutura acadêmica e pedagógica da sede da EOM, condição imposta pela UCB para concretizar a parceria, me levaram a conhecer esta modalidade terapêutica, com resultados efetivamente comprovados através de trabalhos científicos.Realizadas as adaptações que se faziam necessárias, a UCB aprovou, em 2000, o curso de osteopatia, com uma carga horária de 1050 horas para a titulação de especialização acadêmica, nível Lato Sensu. A resolução do COFITO, que estabelece a osteopatia como uma especialidade da fisioterapia, levou-nos a propor ao CEPE da UCB uma complementação de 450 horas, alcançando, assim, as 1.500 horas, distribuídas ao longo de cinco anos, exigidas pela referida resolução do COFITO. A introdução desta técnica terapêutica no Brasil pela corrente Européia e a pronta intervenção do COFITO foram fatores decisivos para nos brindar com mais uma especialidade. Houvera sido a Osteopatia implantada no Brasil por influência da escola americana, talvez os rumos tomados fossem outros. Senão, vejamos. Nos EUA, a osteopatia é normalmente exercida pelo médico, que deve obter sua permissão através do National Board of Osteopatic Medical Examiners, e está dividida em Sociedades Osteopáticas que se distribuem por todas as modalidades médicas; a saber: Allergy and Immunology, Anesthesiology, Dermatology ,Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Neurologists and Psychiatrists, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Occupational and Preventive Medicine, Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, Orthopedics Pathology, Pediatrics Proctology, Radiology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Rheumatology Sports Surgery Medicine.Com o objetivo de incentivar as linhas de pesquisas na área da osteopatia, estará sendo criado, durante as III Jornadas Hispano-Lusas de Fisioterapia em Terapia Manual (Sevilha-Espanha, 5 de outubro de 2001), o Centro Internacional de Pesquisas em Osteopatia. O referido Centro, dirigido por um fisioterapeuta brasileiro com Doutorado, terá sua sede na Espanha e manterá núcleos, vinculados a Universidades, na Argentina, no Brasil, na Itália, em Portugal e na Venezuela. Esperamos, desta forma, ao lado do reconhecimento profissional já oferecido pela resolução COFITO, dar mais um passo na consolidação acadêmica da nossa mais nova modalidade terapêutica.

The Impact

John Keats's medical studies at Guy's Hospital coincided with a boom in interest in both the traditional medicines of the sub-continent and the experiences of British doctors and patients in India. Despite extensive scholarship on the impact of Keats's medical knowledge on his poetry, little consideration has been given to Keats's exposure to Indian medicine. The poetry that followed his time at Guy's contains numerous references to the contemporary state of knowledge about India and its medical practices, both past and present. This essay focuses on Isabella and considers the major sources of information about Indian medicine in the Regency. It proposes that some of Keats's medical imagery might be read as a specific response to the debates about medicine in the sub-continent.
