The Costs of Training Internal Medicine Residents in the United States
Departments of medicine train approximately 30% of the 115,000 residents and fellows in the United States.1 Yet, departments have few reliable external sources of funding for graduate medical education and are handicapped in negotiations with teaching hospitals (the recipients of state and federal graduate medical education funding) in part because of uncertainty of the actual costs of training.2,3 Moreover, several government advisory committees are recommending cuts to graduate medical education funding.

Animal models in translational medicine: Validation and prediction
Publication date: September 2014 Source:New Horizons in Translational Medicine, Volume 2, Issue 1 Author(s): Tinneke Denayer , Thomas Stöhr , Maarten Van Roy Despite large investments in drug development, the overall success rate of drugs during clinical development remains low. One prominent explanation is flawed preclinical research, in which the use and outcome of animal models is pivotal to bridge the translational gap to the clinic.

Taking Fetal Medicine to the Community
Abstract Supplementing prenatal care with ultrasound technology has a significant impact on improving maternal and perinatal health by identifying at-risk pregnancies and directing deliveries to hospital settings. Ectopic pregnancies, placenta praevia, multiple pregnancy, fetal malposition, and abnormal fetal growth are known to increase morbidity and mortality, and can be diagnosed using ultrasound. We are now able to predict complications in pregnancy as early as the 12th week. The routine use of fetal ultrasound and innovations in fetal therapy raise several moral dilemmas including the unequal distribution of ...

The Image of the Self-Sacrificing Doctor: Medicine, Taxes and Unemployment in 1930s Turkey
This article aims to problematise this discourse through the way the doctors utilised it pragmatically to resolve certain issues that were important for their community. Two controversies will form the focus of the paper: the first concerns the employment problem of new graduates of the Faculty of Medicine. The second is the income tax controversy that took place between the doctors and government in the first half of the 1930s, during the preparations of a new tax law. In the final part of this article, I will argue that these two controversies are linked to the question of advancement of medical knowledge.

A call to restrict prescribing antibiotics for travellers’ diarrhea – travel medicine practitioners can play an active role in preventing the spread of antimicrobial resistance
We live an era with an ongoing silent pandemic spread of multiresistant bacteria, a development posing a severe threat to global public health care as a whole. WHO calls for action across all government sections and society [1]. Attending to this plea, the specialty of travel medicine should recognize its potential to become one of the key players in this global fight. Travellers occupy a special locus in the world-wide “ecosystem” of antimicrobial resistance, since they act as vectors transporting the bacteria from one region to another – and eventually across the globe.
