The paper deals with applying principles of evidence-based medicine in performance of research studies in rehabilitation, its requirements for the researchers. It is emphasized that research in rehabilitation is characterized by unique features as its results depend on many factors: medical, social, technical, economical. The significance of qualitative and quantitative investigations is emphasized in the evidence practice. It is shown that evaluation of clinical efficacy of the physical factors is possible when the method and area of application, the power of the factors, dosage, the number of the application sessions per week, and the duration of treatment are known. The purpose of this article was to review scientific research carried out in rehabilitation, and emphasize their significance on the final results of rehabilitation. In 1969 WHO experts defined rehabilitation as “the combined and co-ordinated use of medical, social, educational, and vocational measures for training and re-training the individual to the highest possible level of functional ability”. To achieve this purpose, specialists of rehabilitation team must use scientific methods, technologies, and means. Important decision evaluating after-effects of diseases, traumas and disabilities at bio-psychosocial point of view was made in 2001 by WHO after adaptation of the “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health”. Definition such as “Evidence-based medicine” is defined as one of most important area of the development of medicine. It outspread quickly in the world of medicine, but now more often was changed to a more comprehensive term as “Evidencebased practice”. Evidence-based practice involves scientific information and information received from patients and their family members. In this way it is possible to get scientific evidence from a vast number of scientific studies from all over the world. Scientific studies in rehabilitation are unique because they depend on many factors: medical, technical, social, and economical. The paper emphasizes the significance of qualitative and quantitative studies in the practice of evidence-based medicine. It should be noted that evaluation of clinical effectiveness of physical factors is explicable when the method and area of application, the power of the factor, dosage, the number of the application sessions per week, and the duration of treatment are known. Evidence-based medicine is important for all rehabilitation specialists and team members. In practice we can prove effectiveness of rehabilitation methods and means by applying principles of evidence-based medicine correctly.Keywords: rehabilitation, evidence-based medicine, research.

The "Decade of the Brain" - a complex of scientific research works in the field of neurosciences, carried out in 1990-2000, has come to an end. in the world and in our country. Important results were obtained during this period in the largest neurological center in Russia - the Research Institute of Neurology of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The research was based on the conceptual principle, systems approach and principles of evidence-based medicine.

The practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) is very important in delivering optimal patient care and the terms evidence-based medicine, or evidence-based practice, are used all around the world. This chapter discusses evidence-based paediatric oncology, including its history, an outline of what EBM is, EBM in paediatric oncology, steps in evidence-based paediatric oncology for a user of EBM, steps in guideline development as an implementer of EBM, common criticisms of EBM, and the future of EBM. The chapter gives an overview how EBM can be used in a non-exhaustive but still comprehensive way in daily practice of care for children with cancer, and which tools are available for paediatric oncologists. The majority of the chapter focuses on how to learn to become a skilled user of EBM.

Currently, it is impossible to think of modern healthcare that ignores evidence-based medicine (EBM), a concept which relies on 3 pillars: individual clinical expertise, the values and desires of the patient, and the best available research. However, EBM is not perfect. Clinical research is also far from being perfect. This article provides an overview of the basic principles, opportunities, and controversies offered by EBM. It also summarizes current discussions on clinical research. Potential solutions to the problems of EBM and clinical research are discussed as well. If there were specific issues related to pediatric nutrition, an attempt was made to discuss the basic principles and limitations in this context. However, the conclusions are applicable to EBM and clinical research in general. In the future, considering that new ways of obtaining health data will continue to emerge, the world of EBM and clinical research is likely to change. The ultimate goal, however, will remain the same: improving health outcomes for patients.

Working in general psychiatry requires us to live with tensions. We have to live with the tension between the paternalism of compulsory admissions and advocating the autonomy and rights of people with a mental illness. A further tension is exacerbated by two movements of recent years, evidence-based medicine and user involvement. These are broadly to be welcomed, but will ultimately bring psychiatry further into the conflict between the ‘modern’ and ‘post-modern’ views of the world.

Abstract Introduction Despite the practice of evidence-based medicine, superstitions remain common amongst healthcare workers around the world. Friday 13th is a day that can cause anxiety amongst many surgeons on-call. Our aim was to determine whether there is a significant difference between working an on-call as a surgeon on Friday 13th compared to the preceding Friday at a large teaching hospital. Method We conducted a retrospective, longitudinal cohort study that analysed admissions and operative data for all emergency general surgical and urology patients at a large teaching hospital over a five-year period. The main outcome measures assessed included the number of emergency surgical admissions, emergency general surgical operations and emergency urological operations. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the number of admissions (412 vs 405, p=0.835), number of general surgical operations (63 vs 49, p=0.069), and number of urological operations (2 vs 4, p=0.449) on Friday 13th compared to Friday 6th. Conclusions Friday 13th will inevitably be unlucky for some, but this study shows that being on-call on Friday 13th is just as unlucky as being on-call any other Friday.
