Genomic medicine in primary care: barriers and assets
Sequencing the human genome created the tantalising promise of more personalised medicine. Futurists envisage a time when each individual undergoes genome sequencing at birth, stores the data on a chip or in an electronic health record (EHR), and allows healthcare providers to query it throughout one's life. Genomic medicine, the use of one's genotype in medical decision-making, may improve health outcomes, but the clinical translation of this vast body of scientific information is in its infancy. Nonetheless, some patients are eager to use genomic information to shape their healthcare now. Primary care providers (PCPs), h...

Fellowships in international emergency medicine in the USA: a comparative survey of program directors' and fellows' perspectives on the curriculum

The future of general medicine.
Abstract It is a truth universally acknowledged that there is a problem with general medicine. Physicians have become increasingly specialised over the past 30 years or so, and specialist care has produced increasingly better outcomes for some patients. The patients left behind are looked after by general medicine, where demand is increasing, operational priority within hospitals is low, there is little professional kudos and recruitment is suffering. Three recent reports - Hospitals on the Edge?, the Future Hospital Commission report, and the Shape of Training report - have described the problems, but not articu...

Relationship between input and output in acute medicine - secondary analysis of the Society for Acute Medicine's benchmarking audit 2013 (SAMBA '13).
Abstract The performance of acute medical units (AMUs) against published quality indicators is variable. We aimed to identify the impact of case-mix and unit resources on timely assessment and discharge of patients admitted to 43 AMUs on a single day in June 2013, as part of the Society for Acute Medicine's benchmarking audit 2013. Performance against quality indicators was at its worst in the early evening hours. Units admitting fewer than 40 patients performed better. Patients who were more frail, as measured by the Clinical Frailty Scale, were also more likely to have significant physiological abnormalities and...

Update in Outpatient General Internal Medicine: Practice Changing Evidence Published in 2014
The practice of outpatient general internal medicine requires a diverse and evolving knowledge base. General internists must identify practice changing shifts in the literature and reflect on their impact. Accordingly, we conducted a review of practice changing articles published in outpatient general internal medicine in 2014. To identify high quality, clinically relevant publications, we reviewed all titles and abstracts published in the following primary data sources in 2014: New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicine, JAMA-Internal Medicine and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews.

Experiences with, perceptions of and attitudes towards traditional Korean medicine (TKM) in patients with chronic fatigue: a qualitative, one-on-one, in-depth interview study
Conclusions Healthcare providers need to be concerned about the symptoms of chronic fatigue to a degree that is in line with the patient's own perceptions. Korean patients with chronic fatigue choose TKM as an alternative to fulfil their long-term needs that were unmet by conventional medicine, and they are greatly positively influenced by TKM. TKM may present a possible therapy to alleviate symptoms of diseases that conventional medicine does not address and is an approach that has a considerable effect on Korean patients.

Incidence of refeeding syndrome in internal medicine patients.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of refeeding syndrome was relatively high in patients acutely admitted to the department of internal medicine. Oncology patients are at increased risk of developing refeeding syndrome. When taking the occurrence of hypophosphataemia as a hallmark, no other single clinical or composite parameter could be identified that accurately predicts the development of refeeding syndrome.
