Work Up

It is some years since Dr Henry Rollin published, in thePrison Medical Journal, an address he gave to prison doctors on the Role of The Psychiatrist on the Parole Board. Since then, there have been changes in policy and practice, and it may be opportune now to bring the work up to date, and to the notice of a generation of psychiatrists who might some day have the privilege and pleasure of serving on the Board.

Az Orvosi Hetilap 1948 és 1989 között az előző időszakhoz képest jelentősen több gasztroenterológiai tárgyú publikációt közölt. Az ismeretek elsősorban angol közvetítéssel kerültek a magyar szakirodalomba. Célkitűzés: Az Orvosi Hetilap ban 1989 és 2008 között megjelent gasztroenterológiai tárgyú publikációk kiértékelése. Módszer: A szerző manuális módszerrel áttekintette a folyóirat 1989 és 2008 közötti évfolyamait. A gasztroenterológiai tárgyú eredeti közleményeket, lapszemléket és könyvismertetéseket azonosította és azokból adatbázist készített. A publikációkat tematikai csoportokba sorolta és arányukat meghatározta. Az eredményeket összehasonlította az 1948 és 1989 közötti időszak publikációs tevékenységével. Részletesen áttekintette a laparoszkópos sebészet, a májátültetés és a genetikai ismeretek recepcióját az Orvosi Hetilap ban. Eredmények: 1989 és 2008 között az Orvosi Hetilap ban 2817 gasztroenterológiai tárgyú dolgozat jelent meg (1067 eredeti közlemény, 1698 folyóirat-referátum, 52 könyvismertetés), ez az összes közlemény 10,1%-a. Az előző korszakhoz képest a gasztroenterológiai tárgyú közlemények száma nem változott (p = 0,82), a folyóirat-referátumok (p = 0,006) és könyvismertetések száma jelentősen csökkent (p = 0,01). 2007-től megjelent az Orvosi Hetilap online változata és a Hungarian Medical Journal . A 1989 és 2008 között legtöbbet a máj (17,8%) és epeutak betegségeivel (4,31%), ezen belül a vírusos hepatitisekkel foglalkoztak (7,0%). Laparoszkópos sebészettel 27 (1,8%), májátültetéssel 39 (2,6%), genetikával 61 (4,0%) közlemény foglalkozott. Százharmincegy szakfolyóiratot szemléztek, a gasztroenterológiai tárgyú folyóirat-referátumok száma az előző időszakhoz képest csökkent (p = 0,006). A referátumok 65,4%-a magfolyóiratokban jelent meg. Az angol nyelvű lapok aránya 62,4%, a lapszemlék 31,5%-a német, 1,69%-a francia forrásból táplálkozik, tehát az angol dominancia erősödött. A könyvismertetések száma 211-ről 52-re csökkent (p = 0,01). A laparoszkópos sebészetben elsősorban a cholecystectomiával szerzett tapasztalatokat ismertették. A májátültetés kérdéskörének fő fóruma az Orvosi Hetilap volt. A 2000-es években az egyetemi centrumokban működő munkacsoportok ismertették az emésztőszervi betegségek genetikai kutatásait. Következtetés: Az utóbbi két évtizedben az Orvosi Hetilap sikerrel látta el hagyományos feladatát a hazai orvosok szakmai tájékoztatásában, emellett fontos szerepet vállalt a kortárs gasztroenterológia új vívmányainak (laparoszkópos sebészet, májátültetés, genetika) ismertetésében.

Recent Attention

AbstractAlmost 5 million children attend preschool in the United States each year. Recent attention has been paid to the ways in which preschool classrooms shape children's early language development. In this article, we discuss the importance of peers and classroom composition through the lens of age and socioeconomic status and the implications for children's early learning and development. We also discuss the direct and indirect mechanisms through which classroom peers may shape each other's language development. As part of this discussion, we focus on exposure to peer language and engagement with peers, along with teachers' classroom practices. We conclude by discussing the ways in which teachers can ensure that children in classrooms of different compositions reap the maximum benefit, along with implications for research, policy, and practice.

Public Health Regulation

This article offers a critical analysis of the role of public health regulation on tertiary education in Aotearoa New Zealand and, specifically, the requirements and processes of Responsible Authorities under the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act for the accreditation and monitoring of educational institutions and their curricula (degrees, courses of studies, or programmes). It identifies and discusses a number of issues concerned with the requirements of such accreditation and monitoring, including, administrative requirements and costs, structural requirements, and the implications for educational design. Concerns with the processes of these procedures, namely the lack of educational expertise on the part of the Responsible Authorities, and certain manifested power dynamics are also highlighted. Finally, the article draws conclusions for changing policy and practice.

ObjectivesTo investigate how many general practitioner (GP)-referred venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) are diagnosed during 1 year in one geographical region and to investigate the (urgent) referral pathway of VTE diagnoses, including the role of laboratory D-dimer testing.DesignHistorical cohort study.SettingGP patients of 47 general practices in a demarcated geographical region of 161 503 inhabitants in the Netherlands.ParticipantsWe analysed all 895 primary care patients in whom either the GP determined a D-dimer value or who had a diagnostic work-up for suspected VTE in a non-academic hospital during 2015.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcomes of this study were the total number of VTEs per year and the diagnostic pathways—including the role of GP determined D-dimer testing—of patients urgently referred to secondary care for suspected VTE. Additionally, we explored the use of an age-adjusted D-dimer cut-off.ResultsThe annual VTE incidence was 0.9 per 1000 inhabitants. GPs annually ordered 5.1 D-dimer tests per 1000 inhabitants. Of 470 urgently GP-referred patients, 31.3% had a VTE. Of those urgently referred based on clinical assessment only (without D-dimer testing), 73.8% (96/130) had a VTE; based on clinical assessment and laboratory D-dimer testing yielded 15.0% (51/340) VTE. Applying age-adjusted D-dimer cut-offs to all patients aged 50 years or older resulted in a reduction of positive D-dimer results from 97.9% to 79.4%, without missing any VTE.ConclusionsAlthough D-dimer testing contributes to the diagnostic work-up of VTE, GPs have a high detection rate for VTE in patients who they urgently refer to secondary care based on clinical assessment only.

Reported Data

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explain progress, or the lack of it, in achieving workplace gender equality goals prescribed by affirmative action regulation by using concepts from soft regulation and organizational learning. Design/methodology/approach The research design is a longitudinal study (2002-2012) of a critical case, that of a single large organization in the male-dominated steel manufacturing, distribution and mining industries. The case focusses on the evidence about organizational learning to be found in that organization’s reports to government on its activities to promote workplace gender equality. Findings While other factors play a role, the apparent failure of the soft regulation to generate a significant shift in gender equality outcomes may also be attributed to ineffective organizational learning, demonstrated by the absence of systematic reflection within the organization on how to improve workplace gender equality, and the lack of firm targets and external benchmarking. Research limitations/implications Self-reported data may be overstated or incomplete. More research is needed to confirm the nature of the specific learning processes occurring within organizations. Practical implications Absent the advent of hard sanctions in workplace gender equality regulation, the responsible government agencies may find it valuable to focus on ways to encourage target organizations to develop competence in organizational learning. Social implications More effective gender equality regulation may change organizational policy and practice and improve work opportunities for women. Originality/value Rather than concluding that the only alternative, when soft regulation is unsuccessful, is hard regulation, this paper shifts the focus to ways that soft regulatory processes might be improved to strengthen their effect.

Abdominal Ultrasound Examination

Purpose: To describe a case of endoluminal graft exclusion of a proximal para-anastomotic pseudoaneurysm that occurred 17 years following aortobifemoral bypass for occlusive disease. Methods and Results: The lesion was found on abdominal ultrasound examination as part of a work-up for acute abdominal pain and upper gastrointestinal bleeding in a 67-year-old male. A 5-cm saccular pseudoaneurysm was confirmed by preintervention aortography and spiral computed tomography (CT) scanning. Because of the patient's acute symptoms and high-risk medical condition (cardiomyopathy), he was deemed a candidate for endoluminal bypass. At the time of intervention, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) interrogation identified a 3.5-cm-long separation of the existing aortic graft from the proximal aortic stump with a large pseudoaneurysm. The lesion was isolated and repaired by placement of an aortic-to-right iliac endoluminal bypass, ligation of the left limb of the aortofemoral graft, and femorofemoral bypass to restore blood flow to the lower extremities. Spiral CT scans at 48 hours and 3 months following the procedure confirmed complete isolation of the lesion. Conclusions: This case illustrates the feasibility of endografting for repair of aortic para-anastomotic pseudoaneurysms, and it also highlights the potential role of IVUS imaging in endoluminal graft deployment.

The Impact

In this article, I comment on the potential benefits and limitations of open science reforms for improving the transparency and accountability of research, and enhancing the credibility of research findings within communities of policy and practice. Specifically, I discuss the role of replication and reproducibility of research in promoting better quality studies, the identification of generalizable principles, and relevance for practitioners and policymakers. Second, I suggest that greater attention to theory might contribute to the impact of open science practices, and discuss ways in which theory has implications for sampling, measurement and research design. Ambiguities concerning the aims of preregistration and registered reports also are highlighted. In conclusion, I discuss structural roadblocks to open science reform and reflect on the relevance of these reforms for educational psychology.
