2009 Annual Evidence Update on Hip FractureEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on hip fracture has been released by NHS Evidence - emergency and urgent care in conjunction with NHS Evidence - trauma and orthopaedics. The scope of the literature search covers fractures affecting the proximal femur. This AEU will appeal to all health professionals, reflecting the multidisciplinary approach required across both primary and secondary care. However, there may be clinicians who are involved in the management of polytrauma and high energy injuries that affect the hip joint who will find that our update is offset from their area of interest.

Easing the shortage in adult primary care - is it all about moneyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As Americans debate health care reform, it is easy to forget that success may depend as much on the availability of primary care physicians for adults as on the specifics of the reforms themselves. Access to health insurance does not ensure access to timely medical care, particularly in places where doctors are in short supply, are not accepting new patients, or are not accepting patients with some types of insurance. Effective primary care can improve the quality of care and health outcomes and save money. But to the extent that easing the shortage of primary care physicians will require additional funds, the initial cost...

The review addressed a clear question along with clear inclusion criteria. However, only one database was searched for studies, the literature search was restricted to publications in English and there was no specific search for unpublished studies. These restrictions may mean that some studies were missed and both publication and language bias could have been present. In addition, the likelihood of reviewer bias and error could not be evaluated as details of the methods employed to select studies and extract the data were not given.

Non-motor symptoms of Parkinsons disease- dopaminergic pathophysiology and treatmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Several studies, including work from the Parkinson's disease (PD) non-motor group and others, have established that the non-motor symptoms of PD are common, occur across all stages of PD, are under-reported, and are a key determinant of quality of life. Research suggests that the non-motor symptoms of the disease are frequently unrecognised by clinicians and remain untreated. Even when identified, there is a common perception that many of these symptoms are untreatable. The role of dopaminergic drugs in treating the various non-motor problems of PD, although clinically recognised, has received little attention. In this Rev...

This study compared the cost-utility of chemoprevention using daily finasteride in the prevention of prostate cancer compared with no chemoprevention. The authors concluded that chemoprevention for men, when started at age 50, was not cost-effective in terms of life-years saved. However it approached cost-effectiveness when quality-adjusted life-years were considered. Overall, the conclusions made by the authors are hard to evaluate as the study methods and results were not transparently and comprehensively reported.
