Applied Pharmacogenomics in Cardiovascular Medicine.
Abstract Interindividual heterogeneity in drug response is a central feature of all drug therapies. Studies in individual patients, families, and populations over the past several decades have identified variants in genes encoding drug elimination or drug target pathways that in some cases contribute substantially to variable efficacy and toxicity. Important applications of pharmacogenomics in cardiovascular medicine include clopidogrel and risk for in-stent thrombosis, steady-state warfarin dose, myotoxicity with simvastatin, and certain drug-induced arrhythmias. This review describes methods used to accumulate a...

Conclusion: TCM use is common among our breast cancer patients, particularly the younger women.

Application of the WHO surgical safety checklist outside the operating theatre: medicine can learn from surgery.
Abstract Safety checklists in medicine are designed to identify a potential error before it results in harm to a patient. The World Health Organization (WHO) safety checklist was widely implemented in surgical practice in the UK after significant reductions in death, and peri-operative complications were achieved in eight countries worldwide in the 'Safe Surgery Saves Lives' campaign of 2008. Nevertheless, use of the checklist for invasive medical procedures is not yet routine. Such procedures are becoming ever more complex, necessitating multidisciplinary team management and involving higher-risk patients, with t...

Solutions to Common Problems in Training Learners in General Internal Medicine Ambulatory Settings
Directors of internal medicine educational programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels strive to provide optimal educational experiences in the general internal medicine ambulatory setting (ambulatory GIM).
