Manned Space Flights

Since April 1961, all manned space flights have been accompanied by medical control ensuring flight safety. Medical control in space flight has a technological and medical methodology that allows, at a distance from medical specialists, to make an adequate medical decision for the current situation. This work would be impossible if there were no measures taken to unify and standardize equipment and techniques. Telemedicine technologies developed on the basis of flight medical control. The origin of the word telemedicine comes from the expression «telemetric medical information», adopted in space technology. The issues of mutual development and mutual enrichment, standardization of methods and equipment of two areas of medicine, medical control in extreme situations and general telemedicine are considered in this article.

Failure Prognosis

: At least half of all heart failure (CHF) patients will have a comorbidity that could be undertreated, requires additional speciality input and/or polypharmacy. These patients are then at risk from iatrogenic and disease related complications and readmissions if not closely supervised. Common comorbidities of relevance are cardiorenal and cardiometabolic syndromes (DM, obesity, OSA), chronic airways disease, elderly age and accompanying therapeutic optimisation. The structure of community practice often leaves primary, speciality and allied health care in silos. For example, cardiology speciality training in Australia creates excellent sub-specialists to deliver on the diagnostics and therapeutic advances. A casualty of this process has been gradual alienation of general cardiology towards general internal medical specialists and GP's. The consequences are largely noticed in community practice. The issue are compounded by suboptimal communication of information. This review explores these issues from a cardiology sub-speciality lens, firstly cross speciality areas important for cardiologist to maintain their skill and finally a brief overview of disease management and identifying game changing common denominators such as endothelial dysfunction and self-management.

Abstract Introduction Entrustable Professional Activities (EPAs) have been applied differently in many postgraduate medical education (PGME) programmes, but the reasons for and the consequences of this variation are not well known. Our objective was to investigate how the uptake of EPAs is influenced by the workplace environment and to what extent the benefits of working with EPAs are at risk when the uptake of EPAs is influenced. This knowledge can be used by curriculum developers who intend to apply EPAs in their curricula. Method For this qualitative study, we selected four PGME programmes: General Practice, Clinical Geriatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and Radiology & Nuclear Medicine. A document analysis was performed on the national training plans, supported by the AMEE Guide for developing EPA-based curricula and relevant EPA-based literature. Interviews were undertaken with medical specialists who had specific involvement in the development of the curricula. Content analysis was employed and illuminated the possible reasons for variation in the uptake of EPAs. Results An important part of the variation in the uptake of EPAs can be explained by environmental factors, such as patient population, the role of the physician in the health-care system, and the setup of local medical care institutions where the training programme takes place. The variation in uptake of EPAs is specifically reflected in the number and breadth of the EPAs, and in the way the entrustment decision is executed within the PGME programme. Discussion Due to variation in uptake of EPAs, the opportunities for trainees to work independently during the training programme might be challenging. EPAs can be implemented in the curriculum of PGME programmes in a meaningful way, but only if the quality of an EPA is assessed, future users are involved in the development, and the key feature of EPAs (the entrustment decision) is retained.
