Change to Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians--position statement: the place of mesenchymal stem/stromal cell therapies in sport and exercise medicine
The Board of the Australasian College of Sport and Exercise Physicians has recently learnt concerns of the Australian Government, other medical colleges and our own fellowship regarding the safety of procedures involved with the provision of stem cell therapy to patients. These concerns are partially driven by reports recently published in the lay media, scientific literature and a coroner’s report.

"The medicine from China has rapid effects": Chinese medicine patients in Tanzania.
This article asks why Tanzanian patients turn to the Chinese for medical treatment, and what patients know about Chinese medicine and medication. One of the chief findings is that the Swahili term dawa ya Kichina is vague, which allows patients to transfer their positive experiences with Chinese biomedical doctors during the period of socialist orientation onto the current, entrepreneurial TCM doctors. Dawa ya Kichina is often considered a rapidly effective 'advanced' 'traditional' medicine; its ready-made patent formulas, which make it look 'scientific' and 'modern', are easy to consume; and its entrepreneurial set-up has...

Addressing Family Medicine's Capacity to Improve Health Equity Through Collaboration, Accountability and Coalition-Building.
Abstract Achieving health equity requires an evaluation of social, economic, environmental, and other factors that impede optimal health for all.

In recognition of this, Family Medicine for America's Health (FMAHealth) formed a Health Equity Tactic Team (HETT). The team's charge was to address primary care's capacity to improve health equity by develop...

The Rise of Emergency Medicine in the Sixties: Paving a New Entrance to the House of Medicine
Emergency medicine evolved into a medical specialty in the 1960s under the leadership of physicians in small communities across the country. This paper uses three case studies to investigate the political, societal, and local factors that propelled emergency medicine along this path. The case studies—Alexandria Hospital, Hartford Hospital, and Yale-New Haven Hospital—demonstrate that the changes in emergency medicine began at small community hospitals and later spread to urban teaching hospitals. These changes were primarily a response to public demand. The government, the American public, and the medical commu...

Second is the rise to power of Evo Morales, the first Latin American president of indigenous origin, who has promoted multicultural policies, formally supported through the promulgation of a new constitution.
