An examination of a random sample of four medical journals— The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of the American Medical Association, and The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine—reveals that one-fifth of the space of articles in medical science is devoted to an average of three tables and three flow charts, graphs, or photographs. Given these figures, the absence of discussion of visuals in the literature on medical communication may seem puzzling. But the puzzle is easily solved: our basic education gives us a coherent vocabulary for talking about prose, but no coherent vocabulary for talking about tables and visuals. Once we have this vocabulary in hand, we make another step in the direction of an explanation of the nature of communication in the medical sciences. We may note that understanding the meaning of a medical article is not just a consequence of understanding its texts; it is a consequence of understanding all its meaningful components working together—verbal, tabular, visual.

Each year, the Canadian Society for Internal Medicine (CSIM) Annual Meeting features a presentation of the “Top 5 Papers” in internal medicine (IM). We reviewed the publications in all major IM journals ( New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, Annals of Internal Medicine, British Medical Journal, and JAMA Internal Medicine ) between November 2016 and October 2017 to identify 5 papers that we felt were particularly influential and important to practicing clinicians. These articles were all discussed on the free weekly podcast that we produce, The Rounds Table ( http://healthydebate.ca/about-us/the-rounds-table ). This article summarizes these “Top 5” papers.

Antecedentes: El virus SARS-CoV-2, causante de la Enfermedad por Coronavirus de 2019 (COVID-19) emergió en Wuhan, China, en diciembre de 2019, y tiene un alcance pandémico en la actualidad. Su fisiopatología, distribución geográfica y características clínicas son objetivo de estudio y análisis continuo, con resultados prometedores e influyentes, pero difíciles de reunir y sintetizar considerando las numerosas fuentes de información y el dinamismo de la curva epidemiológica de esta pandemia. Objetivo: Esta revisión tiene como objetivo sintetizar la literatura actual sobre la pandemia del COVID-19, con el propósito de establecer de forma transparente y concisa la información de origen nacional e internacional disponible, de manera que esta sirva como una fuente confiable de la evidencia publicada.  Diseño: Se utilizaron artículos científicos publicados entre diciembre de 2019 y marzo de 2020, que fueron seleccionados por su relevancia, validez y calidad de contenido, obtenidos a través de revistas científicas como New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, The Lancet y el British Medical Journal, además de la información proporcionada por instituciones reconocidas a nivel mundial, como lo son la Organización Mundial de la Salud y  el Centro para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades. Conclusiones: La información actual sobre la pandemia del SARS-CoV-2 está renovándose continuamente y se espera que continúe haciéndolo por los próximos meses. Se torna complicado el mantenerse a la vanguardia, por lo cual confiamos en que esta revisión será útil para distintos estudiantes y profesionales de la salud.

A transmissão do novo coronavírus Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, causador da doença coronavírus 2019 ou COVID-19) de pessoa a pessoa, para diferentes países, áreas ou territórios, gera intensa preocupação entre pesquisadores e a população em geral. Até o dia 9 de maio já foram registrados quase 4 milhões de casos confirmados do COVID-19 em todo o mundo, com quase 270 mil mortes associadas (taxa de fatalidade próxima a 7%). Objetivando disponibilizar informações importantes sobre o novo coronavírus, para auxiliar a comunidade científica e orientar a população em geral, esta revisão de literatura foi elaborada a partir de informações coletadas na base de dados Pubmed, na plataforma ScienceDirect, e especificamente na revista científica Nature Research e nos jornais científicos The Lancet, The New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of Medical Virology, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), bem como nos repositórios BioRxiv e MedRxiv e diferentes órgãos internacionais de saúde. Ainda são recentes os estudos referentes a intervenções terapêuticas a serem consideradas contra o SARS-CoV-2, bem como há a necessidade de maiores investigações quanto à patogenicidade e transmissibilidade desse vírus, e quanto aos seus efeitos em crianças, gestantes e animais.
