Abstract:

Modern American medicine is far from ideal. Physicians practice by rules learned in medical school, rules often based on anecdotes or untested hypotheses. Medical opinion leaders shape practice by their own experience even though anecdotes are no substitute for clinical studies. Pressures to diagnose and treat come from pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, hospitals and managed care organizations (MCOs). The end result is often too much medicine or too little, but rarely the appropriate amount. Patients can end up suffering iatrogenic effects of infections picked up during hospit

Abstract:

When compiling the Dictionary of the English Language, Johnson read and annotated over two hundred thousand passages from innumerable English authors of various disciplines across four centuries. Most of the literary anecdotes came from Shakespeare, Milton, Dryden and Pope. The medical and scientific anecdotes came from 31 scientists, physicians, pharmacologists and surgeons. This reflects Johnson's admiration for science and its benefit to the public. He told Boswell, ‘Why Sir, if you have but one book with you upon a journey let it be a book of science.

In an era of evidence-based medicine, physicians sometimes forget the value of anecdotes in stimulating thought about clinical problems. Our recent report on typhoid fever in a pregnant woman at 12 weeks of gestation is a good example. In spite of culture-proven diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the mother with antibiotics, fetal loss occurred at 16 weeks of gestation. Salmonella typhi was found in the fetal lung on autopsy, consistent with vertical transmission of the organism. None of the clinicians caring for the patient had imagined that gram-negative bacteria could cross the placenta

Abstract:

Objective: The aim of the present study was to determine whether anecdotal claims of gender differences in the treatment of depression by general practitioners (GPs) existed in practice. Method: Referral letters from 100 GPs to a specialized psychiatric depression clinic were analysed by word count and gender of referrer. Second, a Web-based survey of 517 participants examined the impact of GP gender in terms of levels of management nuances. Results: The first study established that female GPs wrote distinctly longer referral letters. The second study identified that female GPs were seen as di

Libraries have been essential to my role as a physician-historian working for twenty-six years in an academic health sciences center. They are the repositories of thousands of years of medical evidence, even if it comes in forms that are increasingly disparaged: paper and anecdote. While writing my dissertation in Paris, I fell in love with old books and manuscripts. Reading, holding, and touching those beautiful—if barely legible—papers instilled a joyful and durable eagerness to work with them and to expose my students to their power.The university librarians and archivists are my closest co

Abstract:

LBA9006 Purpose: Many patients who receive EGFR inhibitors develop an acneiform rash, and anecdotal reports suggest tetracycline is effective in treating it. To our knowledge, however, no rigorous trials have ever been published to substantiate this approach. This double- blinded, placebo-controlled trial was conducted to assess the role of tetracycline in preventing EGFR inhibitor-induced rash and/or reducing its severity. Methods: 61 patients were randomly assigned to tetracycline 500 mg orally twice a day×4 weeks versus an identical, similarly prescribed placebo. Eligibility criteria requir

INTRODUCTION: Although anecdotal evidence points to high levels of stress among neurosurgeons and trainees, there is little systematic research documenting the nature of stress in detail. METHODS: We conducted a detailed survey of neurosurgeons and trainees, obtaining 22/26 responses (85% response rate) with 2 responses removed for missingness. Participants were purposefully sampled from two academic center neurosurgery programs. RESULTS: Participants reported more high-arousal negative emotions (particularly frustration and anxiety) than low-arousal negative emotions (e.g., helplessness, disc

One of them was included in Bell’s book “Travels from St. Petersburg through Russia to Various Parts of Asia” (in Volume 1, containing the notes on the trip to Persia) published in 1763 and translated into Russian in 1776. Researchers have not widely known about the other account until now, as it is only contained in the unpublished (not even in English) manuscript entitled “Sundry Anecdotes of Peter the First,” preserved in

Abstract:

Stem cell science, using both embryonic and a variety of tissue-specific stem cells, is advancing rapidly and offers promise to improve medical care in the future. Yet, with the notable exception of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, a long-established approach to treating certain cancers of the blood system, this promise is long term and most stem cell research focuses on basic scientific questions or the collection of pre-clinical data. Although some clinical trials are underway, most are focused on safety, and novel effective therapy is likely a long way off. Despite the preliminary n

Abstract:

Young trumpet players are predisposed to certain performance-related health risks. Nevertheless, the published experience with specific disorders is considered confusing and anecdotal. In the context of a review of the literature, we analyze a case report of a young patient who presented with two different disorders typically related to trumpet playing. After considering the diagnoses that had been made elsewhere, we were able to make the correct diagnoses and choose the correct treatment. We conclude that physicians need to be aware of these disorders, because they could be mistakenly attribu

A total of 37 of these patients (37%) developed paronychia ranging from simple pain to a severe inflammatory response with redness, drainage, and granuloma formation.
