Planning medical care for actual needEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Aim When it came into force on 1 January 1993, the Health Structure Act brought about far-reaching changes in the German health system by completely reorganising needs-related planning for office-based medical care. The experience to date suggests that needs-related planning is having an effect. Since the law came into effect, the increase in the number of doctors has clearly levelled off, and in certain fields the trend can even be said to have been reversed. Indeed, needs-related planning will in future have to address a completely new issue, one that only a few years ago was considered inconceiv...

Microfinance as a tool for financing medical devices in Syria. An assessment of needs and a call for further researchEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Microfinance has not been used as a tool for financing medical devices in Syria. However, this study shows that the disabled of this country perceive a great need for this innovative system. The majority of the disabled believe that they could gain some income and pay back the loan if they had the necessary equipment. This is a basic prerequisite for further steps to start microfinance for this group of potential clients. However, a start-up would need some support, e.g., by the government of Syria. It is likely that the financing of medical devices by microfinance can also be used for other group...

Conclusions First, it is necessary to complete the last step of the concept of traditional evidence-based medicine (EBM), i.e., to confirm that the outcome that is predicted by scientific evidence will also be observed in daily clinical practice. Second, the focus of medical teaching should be directed to final clinical outcomes and patient benefit rather than surrogate parameters, such as completed procedures or test results. Third, the availability of data to answer unsolved questions may become a more important indicator for high-quality health-care systems than the performance of services of unknown incr...

Conclusions A consensus score generated by two referees or by two groups of students is feasible, but the achieved result is not necessarily reproducible. The critical appraisal of the study question in connection with the applied study design deserves special attention. It is time consuming but possible to identify and describe the possible flaws in the design conduct and report of clinical trials, but it is unlikely to reach a reproducible interpretation. These data indicate the problems with even evidence-based assessments and appraisals: the assessments may well be reproducible, but not the appraisals. Q...

There is a broad consensus on the need for high-quality public health education and research to tackle the world's many public health challenges. Public health education and research are delivered by a variety of institutions operating very different models, which collectively can be called schools of public health. Given the importance of education and research to public health systems, it is surprising how little research has been done to assess the role of schools of public health in contributing to population health. In particular, it is notable there has been very little research on the strengths and weaknesses of the...

Women's health and gender-based clinical trials on etoricoxib: methodological gender biasEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Discussion Women are under-represented in the published etoricoxib trials, specifically, in Phase I. Sex-stratified data on efficacy and adverse effects are scarce in etoricoxib trials. Together with the lack of data on women-specific issues, this suggests that etoricoxib may pose the same potential problems for women as other cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors.

Conclusions The results of the study provide evidence to suggest that, within the context of regular home visits, specially trained home visitors can increase maternal sensitivity and infant cooperativeness and are better able to identify infants in need of removal from the home for child protection.

Achievement of medical and public health goals requires mutual understanding between professionals and the public, a challenge in diverse societies.

HPV-vaccination for the prevention of cervical cancer in Austria: a model based long-term prognosis of cancer epidemiologyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion Although a constant decrease in cervical cancer incidence and mortality is to be expected after introducing a population-wide HPV vaccination program in Austria, the reduction predicted by this model is lower than expected from clinical trials. This is due to several factors, such as low coverage rate and the long time horizon required for generating the maximum benefit of the vaccination in the overall population. In the context of limited resources, for further reducing cervical cancer in Austria, HPV vaccination programs need to be weighed against other public health alternatives such as improv...
