人性视野中的医学

医学的发展应该是技术和人性的协调统一.当前,医学中众多领域存在"重视技术、忽视人性"的弊端.对医学策略、医学教育、医疗实践、医学管理等医学领域中人性关注不足的现象进行分析和评论,认为人性不足制约了医学的发展,呼吁医学的发展应该"以人为本",并提出一些人性化措施.     

循证医学热潮下的冷思考--循证医学误区与差异之管见

循证医学(EBM)是一门20世纪80～90年代新兴的临床医学模式.在循证医学的实施过程中,存在理论与实践方面的偏差,认知与理解方面的误区和对个体差异的忽略,这势必会影响循证医学的健康发展.为此,从三个方面对此加以阐述.     

从哲学眼界论医学、健康安全与卫生经济

从哲学眼界看,医学与健康都是多元的概念,是许多相互交叉、渗透、影响、制约的因素互相作用的结果。医学、健康保健应适应经济水平,即我们应向患者及社会提供一个安全的、科学的、用的起的、可持续的医疗与健康保健服务。较多贪婪的、不安全的医学时代,最好的计划是不断进行几元钱的预防医学投入和适当的姑息医学。     

论美容医学专业教育的体系结构

我国美容医学专业教育体系于20世纪90年代初期建立并日趋成熟。论述五年制美容医学、三年制美容医疗技术两个专业方向的培养目标与课程设置,对促进美容医学教育事业的发展具有极其重要的意义。     

走出循证医学的误区——关于证据的反思

循证医学在临床实践中起着越来越重要的作用,证据的可靠性是循证医学赖以生存的基石。循证医学遵循的证据来自随机对照试验,这些证据并非完美。临床医师在采纳这些证据时须注意以下几个方面的问题证据的适用人群,干预措施是否存在均一性,对照是否存在片面性,试验的研究终点是否与临床脱节,证据的时效性,以及随机试验提供的证据不足等。只有结合医生的专业技能和临床经验,考虑病人的价值和愿望,对证据进行正确评估和采纳,才能使证据发挥最大的效能,促进循证医学的发展。     

循证医学在眼科临床实践中的应用

循证医学是在Internet蓬勃发展并极大推动社会信息化和网络化的大背景下,将临床流行病学、现代信息学与临床医学相互交叉融合的新兴边缘学科。它的出现使临床医学面临巨大的挑战,已使得行医模式由理论知识加以个人经验为指导的传统经验医学转向现代循证医学。这将是传统医学模式向循证医学模式转变的一场深刻变革,也是本世纪临床医学发展的必然趋势。     

Evidence-Based Ethical Problem Solving: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

This is an account of the evolution of ideas and the confluence of support and vision that has eventuated in the founding of the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics (JERHRE). Many factors have contributed to the creation of this rather atypical academic journal, including a scientific and administrative culture that finally saw the need for it, modern electronic technology, individuals across the world who were committed to somehow finding common ground between researchers and those charged with ethical oversight of research, a network of helpful colleagues, and a university whose administration gave moral support to the endeavor in a time of fiscal austerity. Perhaps equally important were the decisions to make JERHRE a nonprofit undertaking, to emphasize the implications of empirical research for specific best practices, to serve the educational needs of those concerned with human research, and to seek to stimulate the interest of students in gaining an evidence-based understanding of the research contexts in which they decide to work. This article explores the ‘chemistry’ that has made it possible to develop a somewhat unorthodox journal and set of related activities.     

Regional Patterns of Religious Affiliation and Availability of Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs) retain an enduring popularity in spite of the fact that there is poor evidence of their efficacy. Public attraction toward CAM may be based, in part, on a public appetite for mysticism; in many countries, increases in interest in CAM may in turn result from decreasing social acceptance of participation in formal religions. The present study examined patterns of CAM availability and self-declared religious affiliation across 30 geographical regions in Ireland. After controlling for differences in population, the data show a statistically significant inverse correlation between CAM availability and religious affiliation. Implications are discussed. Brian M.
