How to Read a Paper describes the different types of clinical research reporting, and explains how to critically appraise the publications. The book provides the tools to find and evaluate the literature, and implement the findings in an evidence-based, patient-centered way. Written for anyone in the health care professions who has little or no knowledge of evidence-based medicine, it provides a clear understanding of the concepts and how to put them into practice at the basic, clinical level.

Changes for the 4th edition

The fourth edition will include two new chapters on important developments in health care research and delivery, but otherwise retains its original style, size, and scope.

•New chapter on quality improvement – describing papers on quality improvement projects using ebm methods; this will extend the readership to non clinical health care professionals working in hospitals and family practice, and to nurse specialists and practice nurses working in this field

•New chapter on complex interventions - how to set up research projects involving both qualitative and quantitative methodology (known as mixed methods)

•Thorough revision and updating of existing chapters and references

•New illustrations – diagrammatic representations of ebm concepts

- ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0335219950

- ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780335219957

- Product Description:

What is evidence-based health communication and how does it benefit patients? How has communication been taught to health professionals and how might it be improved? How can health care professionals make the most of short encounters in order to maximise their therapeutic effectiveness for clients? This book provides a comprehensive and critical review of the field of health communication and the kinds of evidence that have been collected concerning effective communication. It also critically evaluates the kinds of training health professionals receive in communication skills and examines its relatively limited role in the curriculum. In addition, it sets out what has been discovered about the micro-structure of interaction in health care encounters. The book offers vital new agendas for research training and practice in health care, based upon lessons learned from linguistics, using a wide variety of gathered evidence to identify patterns that will lead to improved health care practices. Moreover, the book focuses upon brief, ordinary and effective communicative activity in addition to the formal consultations that have been studied by researchers in the past. "Evidence-based Health Communication" is key reading for trainee health professionals as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of health studies, medical sociology and health psychology. It also provides stimulating reading for health care professionals, policy makers and researchers with an interest in improving health communication.

Modulación hormonal del donante de órganos. Utilidad de los esteroides

Recientemente el grupo de trabajo compuesto por la Organización Nacional de Trasplantes (ONT), la Sociedad Española de Medicina Intensiva, Crítica y de Unidades Coronarias (SEMICYUC) y otras sociedades científicas han recomendado la administración de 15 mg/kg de metilprednisolona en la estrategia de manejo del donante pulmonar. Esta recomendación está basada en estudios descriptivos y retrospectivos. La revisión de las publicaciones en el ámbito experimental y clínico también indica un potencial beneficio de los esteroides en el manejo del donante tanto de órganos intratorácicos como abdominales. La administración de esteroides apenas instaurada la muerte encefálica puede inhibir la liberación o prevenir las alteraciones que producen las citocinas proinflamatorias, puede estabilizar las membranas celulares, reducir la expresión de las moléculas de adhesión e interferir en la peroxidación lipídica que ocurre después de la isquemia. Sería recomendable realizar estudios prospectivos y comparativos para demostrar la utilidad de este tratamiento. Hasta la realización de estos estudios, y conociendo la repercusión nociva de la actividad inflamatoria en relación con la muerte encefálica en los órganos a trasplantar, recomendamos utilizar, tan pronto como sea posible, 15 mg/kg de metilprednisolona en el donante de cualquier órgano. Sus potenciales efectos beneficiosos inmunomoduladores, así como su bajo coste y la ausencia de efectos adversos, justifican esta recomendación.

Medicina Basada en Evidencias: Bajar Articulos Gratis

LA MEDICINA BASADA EN EVIDENCIAS (MBE) es la utilización consciente, explícita y la previa evaluación de la mejor certeza científica, para tomar decisiones relacionadas con el cuidado de la salud de las personas. También el concepto puede ser aplicado a los propios pacientes, ya que con la difusión de los conocimientos a través de múltiples sistemas automatizados un paciente o una comunidad están hoy en condiciones de obtener conocimientos científicos que los ayuden a tomar decisiones sobre aspectos de su propia salud.

Si sólo se tuviera en cuenta la experiencia profesional se perderían todos los avances que la ciencia nos ofrece día a día para mejorar la salud de las personas y las comunidades. Sin la experiencia profesional una excelente evidencia externa podría ser inaplicable o inapropiada para un paciente individual, o para grupos humanos de distintas características culturales, socioeconómicas o epidemiológicas.
La medicina basada en evidencias tiene relación con la medicina basada en problemas ya que lo que se busca es la mejor certeza para resolver un problema, ya sea de un paciente individual, como de una comunidad o la administración de un servicio. Esta utilización puede ser realizada por múltiples agentes de salud: médicos, odontólogos, cirujanos, nutricionistas, cuando atienden pacientes individuales; los profesionales a cargo de un servicio de atención, cuando toman decisiones sobre uno o más pacientes de ese servicio; los administradores de un hospital cuando programan una determinada adquisición de insumos; o los responsables políticos de la salud de una comunidad cuando deciden una campaña de prevención de cualquier tipo.

MEDICINA BASADA EN EVIDENCIA (TEXTO: COLECCION)

Various authors/editors: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) textbooks2000-2009 ISBN: Multiple 4582 pages (total) English PDF (OCR/proofed) 64 Mb ZIP

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) aims to apply evidence gained from the scientific method to certain parts of medical practice. It seeks to assess the quality of evidence relevant to the risks and benefits of treatments (including lack of treatment). According to the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine,

"Evidence-based medicine is the conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients."
