Abstract:
Question: How effective is East Tennessee State University (ETSU) medical library in preparing its residents to be information masters when they get into private practice? Design: The study was designed as an effectiveness study using survey instruments to determine the informationseeking behaviors, information skill levels, information training adequacy, and sufficiency of information services/resources provided for ETSU resident physicians to prepare them as information masters when they get into private practice. Setting: The population is ETSU residents, who were enrolled in a residency program in the spring of 2006 at an academic medical center. Participants: ETSU has nine residency programs. There were 220 medical residents at ETSU. The whole population was surveyed as well as 150 attending physicians who work with residents. Interventions: Two survey instruments were utilized to discover information that will lead to better user satisfaction with ETSU information training and information resources/services, thus measuring quality. One aspect of this is better understanding the clients’ information-seeking behaviors. Main Outcome Measures: Quantitative analysis was performed with the SPSS software program. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Inferential statistics were used to analyze relationships and differences Results: ETSU residents frequently had information needs yet infrequently sought answers. When they sought an answer they were usually successful. They preferred electronic resources and indicated time was their greatest barrier. The majority were PDA users. They believed evidence-based medicine was very important to their practice and indicated that the information received from the library changed their patient care. Most indicated a desire to have a clinical medical librarian for their program. The most frequently used resources were Google and the Web, yet they indicated these had low clinical value.

Abstract:
Background: Today we are very likely to encounter exceedingly competent, courageous, charismatic and often times good-looking doctors as TV-show protagonists whilst flipping through the television channels. Just over a hundred years ago it would have been unimaginable for a doctor to lead a storyline, to be a well-liked hero, to even be described as competent. Aim: The purpose of this paper is to study how the medical revolution of the 19th century changed the role of doctors in society and consequently the portrayal of them in literary works and theatrical performances throughout time. Method: This essay is an ideo-historical literary analysis, with a hermeneutic approach of interpretation. The selection of landmark literary work and theatrical plays range from mid-17th century to contemporary times and are chosen on the basis of their popularity and influence. Results: The portrayal of doctors transforms from being figures used as laughingstocks, painted with colors of incompetence and deceptiveness to become highly respectable heroes of society whose steps should be followed and words should be listened to. Conclusion: An increased awareness of the different positions of doctors in society may bring the clinicians of today a better understanding about the conditions of their status. This insight might make it easier for them to navigating in a professional life with the new and ever-challenging well-read patient of today.

Abstract:
Program Objective: to train rural physicians how to use PDAs and the ePocrates database Setting: Tennessee rural critical access hospitals Participants: physicians Program: This patient safety initiative was a collaboration between the Tennessee Hospital Association (THA) and the Universities of Southern Maine, Minnesota, and North Dakota, and the Maine Rural Health Research Center, Upper Midwest Rural Health Research Center, QSource (Tennessee QIO), eight small rural Tennessee hospitals and BlueCross/BlueShield of Tennessee (funder). Because of THA’s knowledge of the East Tennessee State University Quillen College of Medicine Library (QCOML) through state conferences, QCOML was asked to conduct the training for the PDA segment of the project. Main Results: The goal was to provide a PDA for every hospital prescriber in eight small rural Tennessee hospitals. The project provided a Palm TX device, a two year subscription to the full suite of ePocrates software and training. One hundred-thirty clinicians were trained in PDA/ePocrates. Retraining was provided at each site as needed. Evaluation: evaluation was conducted by a 4–6 month user’s survey, usage data from ePocrates (sync, look-ups) and evaluation based on the Brigham and Women’s Hospital Survey. Conclusion: Physicians were pleased with the PDAs and indicated that the devices positively influenced their patient care. This type of cooperative venture exposes the talents of medical librarians to new populations and opens up opportunities for further collaboration.

Full text
Abstract:
Objective: To enable primarily public libraries and secondarily public health workers and rural hospital staff to be consumer health information providers with the goal of creating a program that could be copied nationally, enabling public library workers to become an important resource in reversing our national health information illiteracy. Setting: Three regions of the state regional public library system covering seventeen counties and two regions of the state public health department system. Participants: Public library staff, public health department staff, and rural hospital staff. Program: East Tennessee State University (ETSU) College of Medicine Library partnered with public libraries to improve the delivery of health information. Four free classes were taught multiple times: “Prescription for Success,” “An Apple a Day,” “PubMed for Public Librarians,” and “From Snake Oil to Penicillin.” Regional public library directors were used to convince their staff of its value and obtain the concurrence of their boards for release time for class attendance. Classes were also developed for the public health workforce and rural hospital staff. Existing classes (with all teaching materials on the National Network of Libraries of Medicine [NN/ LM] Website) were used with the existing public library system. Results: Five-hundred thirty-three students attended the classes. Fifty-two public library workers received MLA’s Consumer Health Information Specialist certification. Thirty-one public libraries have joined NN/LM. All ordered MedlinePlus marketing materials for their libraries from InformationRx.org. Conclusion: This project helped address the public health problem of health information illiteracy by filling the gap the average person has in finding quality health information. A strength of this project is its easy replication. The project used materials that were readily available and put them to use. Any library could replicate this project in its own service area saving time and cost to the library.

Abstract:
Bakgrund. Innan dess att svensk psykiatri genomgick övergripande förändringar genomsyrades mentalhälsovården av olika psykologiska teorier vilka sedermera kom till att utgöra väsentliga beståndsdelar inom den “vårdkulturella revolutionens” fundament. Detta utmynnade därefter i svensk socialpsykiatris tillblivelse varigenom dessa försöksverksamheters väl fungerande praxis och kunskaper till synes har glömts bort genom åren. Metod. När, varför och hur har det gått från att vårdgivare/klient-relationen tidigare har betraktats vara “god” till att i dessa dagar te sig “avhumaniserad”? Hur var denna relation förr, hur är den i dag och hur kan den förslagsvis göras bättre framöver? För att kunna besvara detta tas en närmare blick, genom manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys med konventionell (induktiv) ansats, på svensk hälso- och sjukvård emellan åren 1960–1980 såväl som en om än konkretiserad djupdykning ned i 1970-talets “nya psykiatri” och socialpsykiatriska försöksverksamheter. Resultat. Vägarna till utformandet av en vårdvärnande relation emellan vårdgivare och klient återfinns inom vårdgivarens bemötande och tillvägagångsätt gentemot klienten. Vad som fordras är en tillitsfull atmosfär och att bådadera parterna upprätthåller kontinuerlig kontakt (Gustafsson, 2010) vari tid bistår med goda förutsättningar i utformningen av funktionella tillika utvecklande allianser (Topor & Denhov, 2012). För att brukarinflytande skall fungera under förebyggande arbete, i led om att i största möjliga mån ta uti klienters problematik, krävs ett krispsykoterapeutiskt förhållningssätt och vetskap om psykisk kris genom vilka genuin närvaro uppnås (Cullberg, 1974). Forskning visar även tydligt att vad som behövs vid vårdbemötande är genuin närvaro, medmänsklig förståelse och rak kommunikation: att inte bara se människan, utan även att förstå vad just denna kris innebär för just denna individ såväl som att klientens beteende sett till sin helhet och vad som inte uttrycks säger så mycket mer än vad ord kan någonsin beskriva. Slutsats. Empirin antyder att aktuell forskning anmärker vad som fungerar bra och mindre bra, om inte alls, i relation till vårdbemötande är för all del bra. Men vad om nordisk socialpsykiatris pionjärer såsom Berggren, Cullberg och Haugsgjerd? Aktuell forskning refererar inte till någondera och deras arv tycks vara bortglömt. Så vad om all den kunskap och insikt som förvärvades och införlivades vid tidigare försöksverksamheter såsom Cullbergs kristeori och krispsykoterapi? Aktuell forskning refererar heller inte till någotdera och alltsammans tycks ha gått i stöpet. Vad som däremot framgår är att deras visioner tillämpades med mycket goda resultat vid bland annat Nackaprojektet tillika att sagda teori och psykoterapi tycks ha runnit ut i sanden efter verksamhetens nedläggning. Psykologin och psykiatrin, till syvende och sist, rör sig i ett gränsland emellan vetenskap och humaniora däri de, i samvaro med etisk kodex om att all behandling skall vila på “vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet”, samexisterar i led om att med fumliga försök fånga livets komplexiteter. Men vart någonstans bör gränsdragningen gå emellan “vetenskaplig professionalitet” och “personlig inlevelse” när man möter någon med psykisk ohälsa, en medmänniska i psykisk kris?
Background. Prior to the undertaking of radical changes in Swedish psychiatry, various psychological theories permeated mental healthcare that would subsequently become essential components at the very heart of the “care-cultural revolution.” This subsequently resulted in the creation of Swedish social psychiatry through which trial establishments’ well-functioning praxis and knowledge have, so it seems, been forgotten over the years. Method. How, when and why has it gone from the fact that the caregiver/client-relationship has previously been considered as “good” to in these days feel as though it has become “dehumanized”? How was this relationship in the past, how is it as of today, and how can it be made better for the future? In order to answer this, a closer look, through manifest qualitative content analysis with conventional (inductive) approach, is taken on Swedish health care throughout the 1960s–1980s as well as an elaborate deep dive down into the “new psychiatry” of the 1970s and social psychiatric trial establishments. Result. The paths to the formation of a care-ensuring relationship between caregiver and client are found within caregivers’ attitude and approach towards their clients. What is required is a trusting atmosphere and that both parties maintain continuous contact (Gustafsson, 2010) wherein time provides good conditions in the formation of functional and developing alliances (Topor & Denhov, 2012). In order for user influence to function during preventive work, in line with addressing clients’ problems as much as possible, a crisis psychotherapeutic approach and knowledge of mental crisis is required through which genuine presence is achi-eved (Cullberg, 1974). Research also clearly shows that what is needed during care meetings is genuine presence, compassionate understanding, and straightforward communication: not only to see the person, but also to understand what this particular crisis means for this particular individual as well as that his or her behavior in itself and what is not being expressed says so much more than words can ever describe. Conclusion. Empirical data suggests that current research remarks on what works well and less well, if not at all, in relation to care treatment is certainly good. But what about the pioneers of Nordic social psychiatry like Berggren, Cullberg, and Haugsgjerd? Current research refers to neither and their legacies seem to have been forgotten. So, what about all the know-ledge and insight that was acquired and incorporated in previous experimental activities such as Cullberg's crisis theory and crisis psychotherapy? Current research refers, likewise, to neither and everything seems to have gone down the drain. What is clear, however, is that their visions were applied with very good results in, amongst other things, the Nacka Project as well as that said theory and psychotherapy seem to have faded away following the trial establishment’s closure. Psychology and psychiatry, ultimately, move in a borderland between science and the humanities wherein they, in conjunction with the code of ethics that all treatment is to be based on “science and proven experience,” coexist in line with fumble attempts to capture life’s complexities. But where exactly should the line be drawn between “scientific professionalism” and “personal insight” when meeting someone with mental ill-health, a fellow human being in a mental crisis?

Abstract:
This thesis examines how the press of the erstwhile German Democratic Republic represented Iran in the years from 1949 – the year of the GDR’s formation – until 1989, the last complete year before its demise on 3 October 1990. The study focuses on key events in Iranian history such as the overthrow of the Mossadegh government in 1953, the White Revolution, the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and the Iran-Iraq war. It will be shown that although news and articles were based on selected facts, they still presented a picture of Iran that was at best distorted, the distortions and misrepresentations amounting to what could be described as 'factual fiction'. Furthermore, clear evidence will be provided that economical and political relations with Iran were a primary concern of the GDR’s leadership, and thus also of the GDR’s press and have therefore dominated the reporting on Iran. Whatever ideological concerns there may have been, they were hardly ever allowed to get in the way of amicable relations with the Shah or later with the Islamic Republic. Only in periods where the two countries enjoyed less amicable or poor relations, was the press free to critically report events in Iran and to openly support the cause of the SED’s communist Iranian sister party, the Tudeh. Despite East Germany’s diametric ideological environment and despite the fundamentally different role that the GDR’s political system had assigned to the press and to journalism, East Germany’s press was as reliant on the input of the global news agencies as any Western media. The at times almost complete reliance on Western news agencies as sources for news on Iran challenged more than just the hermeneutic hegemony the SED and the GDR’s press wanted to establish. After all, which news and information were made available by the news agencies to the media in both East and West was primarily determined by the business interests of said agencies. The study makes a contribution to three fields: Modern Iranian history, (East-) German history and media studies. The most valid findings were certainly made in the latter.

Abstract:
This thesis analyzes the Cuban medical adaptation in Venezuela called Misión Barrio Adentro (MBA) and seeks to answer the question of whether MBA shows promise as a health system that improves medical accessibility for impoverished and marginalized populations. In many cases MBA succeeds by: utilizing a free universal health care system; locating health centres in previously underserved areas; providing medical education scholarships to populations from non-traditional backgrounds; creating a catchment system based on medical accessibility; scaling up the medical workforce to 60,000 community doctors by 2019; and broadening the very praxis of what health means in a Latin American social medicine approach. However, some challenges remain including issues of corruption, fragmentation, and polarization. Issues regarding internal and external migration of Misión Sucre-trained physicians remain to be comprehensively evaluated. However, the capacitation of non-traditional medical personnel, imbued with conciencia, is significant and could well become an important example for other countries.

The implement of National Health Insurance brings tremendous impact to medical care industry, including medical quality, finance receipt and expenditure, the structure of human resource and problems exist in different departments in hospital. In order to replies the improper policies the NHI implements, that the authority makes certain solutions such as the Global Budget System to solve the waste of resource and the serious financial loss. If the authority makes decisions without long-term, whole, and dynamic state, then a lot of good programs would work in short term but fail in long term. Moreover, parts of the situation will be improved but the whole context will lead to worse result as vicious circle. In terms of the thinking perspective which is appropriately used in dealing with long-term, entire, and dynamic circulation. This research aims to describe the changing in medical industry and the interaction among the internal medical systems in order to comprehend more about the consequence and dynamic relation followed unexpectedly with the policies.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines medical representations, or what I call “fiction medicine,” in post-1949 Chinese literature and film. It is not uncommon to evaluate whether medical facts are scientifically portrayed in literary and cinematic works. Insightful and reasonable as this method is, the interpretation of relevant descriptions from a single medical perspective tends to exclude what may be labeled as misrepresentations from scholarly attention. Therefore, without judging the value of fiction medicine in accordance with scientific standards, this dissertation analyzes how and why medical (mis)representations are formed in the way they are shown, which allows me to unearth those factors, such as politics, international relations, ideology, and the like, that exert considerable influence on the construction of medical landscape in cultural works.

By exploring the interaction between representations and medicine under the Chinese revolutionary context, I argue that during the socialist period (1949-78), while revolutionary concerns tightly regulated the writing of fiction medicine to consolidate the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s rule, the production of fiction medicine was not always monolithic, containing tensions and even resistances against the prevailing ideology. I also argue that, after 1978, although socialist fiction medicine was deconstructed in many ways, some remnants of its legacies have kept influencing contemporary literary and cinematic imaginations. Based on my main arguments, I will further explore why some socialist legacies were preserved and remained influential while others were abandoned as reminders of the past. I suggest that this phenomenon was highly related to the shifting goals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the post-1978 political, ideological, and economic reorientation.

Abstract:
Nuestro interés por recuperar trayectorias discursivas que se ocuparon de lo que hoy denominamos derechos (no) reproductivos y sexuales y de las mujeres en Argentina, nos condujo al análisis de las locuciones del movimiento anarquista. En nuestras primeras pesquisas, las voces de dos médicos anarquistas se destacaron en el tratamiento del problema que nos interesaba abordar. Asimismo, la presencia de ideas provenientes de la eugenesia en los planteos de estos profesionales para el desarrollo de un discurso emancipatorio para las mujeres en relación del derecho a la autodeterminación sexual y reproductiva, nos condujo a focalizar en las distintas apropiaciones de la eugenesia dentro del campo médico. Ante este panorama, nuestra investigación tiene por objetivo general analizar, fundamentalmente, el discurso médico del movimiento anarquista referido al control de la natalidad, la maternidad y el placer sexual en la Argentina durante el período 1931-1951. En este sentido, nos interesa ocuparnos del debate sobre estos temas –más o menos explícitamente enunciados- en el campo médico y, a partir de allí, desprender la particularidad libertaria. La hipótesis general que demostrará esta tesis sostiene que, a partir de la consolidación del pensamiento eugénico anarquista local a través de su propuesta de control de la natalidad, se fortaleció y se legitimó el discurso sobre los derechos de las mujeres a decidir sobre su capacidad de gestar y su derecho al placer sexual sin que interviniera la reproducción como único destino.
Our interest in recovering discursive trajectories that dealt with what today we call sexual and (non-) reproductive rights and women rights in Argentina, lead us to the analysis of the speech of the anarchist movement. In our fist inquiries the voice of two anarchist doctors stood out from our treatment of the previous problem. Likewise, the presence of eugenic ideas in those professionals arguments for the development of a emancipatory discourse for women in relation to the right of sexual and reproductive self determination lead us to focus on different appropriations of eugenics within the medical field. In accordance with this setting, our investigation has for general objective to analyze the medical discourse of the anarchist movement in reference to birth control, motherhood and sexual pleasure in Argentina during the 1931-1951 period. Our interest is to center on the debate around these issues – more or less explicitly enunciated- in the medical field and from there highlight the libertarian stance. The general hypothesis demonstrated by this thesis argues that the women‘s right to decide over gestation and sexual pleasure, without reproduction as a sole destiny, was strengthen and legitimated by the consolidation of the local anarchist eugenic thinking, particularly through its birth control initiative.

Abstract:
L’essor de la discipline bactériologique est l’un des phénomènes les plus célébrés de l’historiographie médicale. Les approches qu’ont empruntées les historiens pour aborder le sujet depuis le tournant du XXe siècle se sont progressivement modifiées pour passer, le plus souvent, d’une interprétation endogène des développements de la science, où les concepts, les théories, les méthodes de la médecine sont perçus comme se développant isolément du contexte social dans lequel ils s’insèrent, à l’approche inverse, sociologique, où chacune des facettes de l’entreprise médico-scientifique est influencée par son milieu dans une interaction où les instances publiques, gouvernementales et professionnelles impliquées par les projets de médicalisation, formant une dynamique impassible, modifient le cours de chaque aspect de l’histoire médicale. Mais, en dehors des éléments professionnels, le développement de la pensée médico-scientifique est-il invariablement subjugué par cette dynamique sociale ? L’idéal de scientificité prôné par les médecins, formant un archétype dans lequel la rigueur du professionnel doit être isolée de ces facteurs extrinsèques n’est-il pas en mesure d’avoir conféré aux démarches médico-scientifiques une stabilité authentique vis-à-vis les fluctuations de l’environnement sociopolitique et professionnel dans lequel elles s’inscrivent ? Cette étude répond à ce questionnement par l’analyse exhaustive du discours défini par les périodiques médicaux du Québec entre 1840 et 1880. Elle s’articule sur deux développements inédits : l’un qui présente les assises méthodologiques de la vérification, c’est-à-dire la définition de l’archétype médical, son rôle dans la légitimation professionnelle, les critères de scientificité qu’il détermine de même qu’une typologie du discours qu’il permet d’inférer ; l’autre, ses résultats. L’étude montre que l’archétype décrit par le corps médical québécois, loin de n’être qu’un outil discursif par lequel la profession a pu être socialement reconnue au XIXe siècle, exerça une influence déterminante sur la formation de l’attitude professionnelle à l’égard des nouveautés étiologiques présentées par les pionniers de la bactériologie. En plus de dévoiler la trame exacte du développement de la pensée étiologique au Québec, la thèse souligne la complémentarité des approches internes et externes de l’historiographie médicale. Elle contribue ainsi à une représentation plus juste des processus à l’oeuvre dans le développement scientifique.
The rise of bacteriology is one of the most celebrated phenomenon in medical historiography. Historian’s approaches taken to address the issue since the turn of the twentieth century were gradually modified to pass, most often, from an endogenous interpretation of scientific development, where medical concepts, theories, and methods are seen as developing in isolation from the social context in which they occur, to the opposite, sociological approach, where every element of the medical-scientific enterprise is rather seen as being influenced by its context in an interaction by which the public, governmental and professional instances involved in medicalization, forming an impassive dynamic, change the course of every aspect of medical history. But beyond the professional elements, is the development of medical and scientific thought invariably subjugated to this social dynamic? Could not the ideal of scientificity advocated by doctors, forging an archetype in which professional rigor is meant to be isolated from these extrinsic factors, confer to the medical and scientific endeavor a genuine stability towards fluctuations in the socio-political and professional environment in which they evolve? Our study addresses these questions by the exhaustive analysis of the discourse defined by the Quebec medical journals between 1840 and 1880. It is based on two new developments, one that presents the methodological foundations of the audit - that is to say, the definition of the medical archetype, its role in professional recognition, the scientific criteria that it determines, and a typology of discourse that can be inferred from it - and the other, the results. The study shows that the archetype described by the Quebec medical profession, far from being solely a discursive tool by which the profession has been socially recognized in the nineteenth century, exerted a decisive influence on the formation of the professional attitude towards etiological novelties presented by the pioneers of bacteriology. Thus, in addition to revealing the exact framework of the development of causal thinking in Quebec, the thesis shows the complementarity of internal and external approaches to medical historiography. It contributes to a fairer representation of the processes at work in scientific development.

Abstract:
All over Africa, traditional healers use medicinal plants to prepare medicines to treat a wide range of illnesses. One of these illnesses is sickle cell anaemia or drepanocytosis or sicklemia. This disease is particularly common among sub-Saharan Africans with a clear predominance in equatorial Africa. However, it also exists in North Africa, Greece, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and India. An estimated 50 million people are affected worldwide. A literature review on sickle cell anaemia revealed that a number of plants have anti-drepanocytosic activity. The availability and frequency of ethnobotanic use of plants were taken into account when selecting the plants investigated in this study. Cajanus cajan, Callistemon viminalis, Melaleuca bracteata var. Revolution Gold and Syzygium guineense (from DRC and South Africa) were selected for study. The selected plants were subjected to modern phytochemical analysis. A total of 8 compounds were isolated from the plants’ extracts and their structures determined by modern spectroscopic techniques (1D and 2D NMR, FT-IR and MS). S. guineense from DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) yielded flavanonoid glycoside (A) as its major chemical constituent. The South African S. guineense afforded 4 compounds namely betulinic acid (B), sitosterol (C), friedelan-3-one (D) and a betulinic acid derivative (E). Cajanus cajan showed the presence of fatty acids, one of them was characterized as an unsaturated fatty acid (I). Callistemon viminalis afforded one compound, betulic acid (F) and Melaleuca bracteata afforded two compounds which were characterized as betulinic acid acetate (G) and ursolic acid acetate (H). CH3-(CH2)n-CH2-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH-(CH2)n-CH2-CH2-COOH The investigation of the anti-drepanocytosis activities of the extractives and their crude extracts showed in vitro antisickling activity. Ethyl acetate crude extracts of Callistemon viminalis and Melaleuca bracteata; hexane, dichloromethane and ethyl acetate crude extracts of Syzygium guineense of DRC, betulinic acid, betulinic acid acetate and maslinic acid showed a high antisickling activity, more than 70% of normalization. The compound BF4, a fatty acid, from Melaleuca bracteata was found to have a medium activity, between 50 and 70% of normalization and oleanolic acid showed the weakest activity, between 10 and 50 % of normalization. Maslinic acid and oleanolic acid which were used for anti-sickling bioassay were isolated and characterized from Syzygium cordatum by my supervisor, Professor Shode. Others crude extracts and pure isolated compounds were found to be non-active antisickling agents. These included crude hexane and methanol extracts of Cajanus cajan; crude dichloromethane extract of Callistemon viminalis; crude dichloromethane, methanol and 80% aqueous methanol extracts of Melaleuca bracteata; crude hexane, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and methanol extracts of Syzygium guineense (South Africa); ursolic acid from Melaleuca bracteata and flavanone glycoside from Syzygium guineense of DRC. This is the first report of the in vitro anti-sickling activity of betunilic acid, betulinic acid acetate, oleanolic acid, and maslinic acid.
