Effectiveness of preventive medicine education and its determinants among medical students in Malaysia
Abstract
Preventive medicine has been incorporated in the medical school curriculum, but its effectiveness and the factors that affect it are yet to be widely looked into in the context of Malaysia. We aimed to measure the familiarity with, perception about the importance to learn, and the ability to practice preventive medicine as well as its determinants among the medical students in Malaysia. Thus, a cross sectional study was conducted through an anonymous online survey among 387 randomly selected final year medical students of four large public medical schools in Malaysia from March to September 2014. Of the t...

Education: a Key Tool for Engagement
Peter Elias
When I began my medical training almost a half century ago, medical culture, and the educational system that maintained it, were based on the concept that the physician was the expert who knows best, and that a “good” patient was a compliant patient. Perhaps because I was raised to think for myself, I was unhappy in the role of shepherd for a flock of obedient “sheeple.” By the end of my first decade in practice, I had come to see my job as educating patients about their conditions and options, helping them make the decisions they needed to make, and helping them achieve their health goals. Because this...

Welcoming Molecular Medicine
Margot Puerta, Executive Editor and Rosamaria Ruggieri, Managing Editor
Can you tell us a bit more about the history of Molecular Medicine?
Molecular Medicine was introduced in 1994 by Anthony Cerami, PhD and Kenneth Warren, MD. The goal was to create a forum through which biomedical researchers and clinicians could communicate recent discoveries to a multidisciplinary audience interested in understanding and curing disease. The field and the journal have both excelled, with several significant advances published in Molecular Medicine.
In 2013, we established two prizes to honor accomplishments in the field of molecular ...

Welcoming Bioelectronic Medicine
Valentin A. Pavlov, Managing Editor and Margot Puerta, Executive Editor
Can you tell us a bit more about the aims and history of Bioelectronic Medicine?
The field of bioelectronic medicine comprises basic research identifying the mechanisms of neural regulation and their translation into new treatments for many diseases and conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and paralyses.
The first successful examples of this translational approach are the recent clinical trials with vagus nerve stimulation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. The team-based efforts of immunologists, neur...

Towards an open and effective dialogue on complementary medicine in oncology: protocol of patient participatory study 'COMMON
Introduction
Approximately half of patients with cancer use some form of complementary medicine alongside conventional cancer treatment. The topic of complementary medicine often remains undiscussed in consultations between patients with cancer and their healthcare providers. This results in increased risks for adverse or interaction effects and decreased access to the benefits of evidence-based complementary medicine for patients with cancer. This paper describes the design of patient participatory study titled ‘COMMON’ that aims to explore and enhance open and effective communication about complementary medic...

Clinical phenotype network: the underlying mechanism for personalized diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine
Abstract
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) investigates the clinical diagnosis and treatment regularities in a typical schema of personalized medicine, which means that individualized patients with same diseases would obtain distinct diagnosis and optimal treatment from different TCM physicians. This principle has been recognized and adhered by TCM clinical practitioners for thousands of years. However, the underlying mechanisms of TCM personalized medicine are not fully investigated so far and remained unknown. This paper discusses framework of TCM personalized medicine in classic literatures and in real-world ...

Integrative medicine for subacute stroke rehabilitation: a study protocol for a multicentre, randomised, controlled trial
Introduction
Many patients with stroke receive integrative medicine in China, which includes the basic treatment of Western medicine and routine rehabilitation, in conjunction with acupuncture and Chinese medicine. The question of whether integrative medicine is efficacious for stroke rehabilitation is still controversial and very little research currently exists on the integrated approach for this condition. Consequently, we will conduct a multicentre, randomised, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial to assess the effectiveness of integrative medicine on stroke rehabilitation.
Methods and analysis

Bio Intelligence: 5 Ways the Age of Information Will Democratize Modern Medicine
On July 13th 2013 at 7:15 pm I was sitting in a Wegman’s café eating dinner with two startup founders I was mentoring when I received a phone call from a dermatologist. He had removed a mole from my 10-year-old daughter’s arm a week earlier. My daughter and my six-year-old son sat at the table next to us chatting, eating, and playing games on their tablets. With just three words –“This is bad”—our entire world changed. We never saw it coming, we had no information, we were immediately at the mercy of strangers, and the normal we had known was irrevocably shattered in an instant, never to return.
Within two wee...
