Hoping For A Miracle: Supporting Patients In Transplantation And Cardiac Assist Programs, Katrina Bramstedt

Katrina A. Bramstedt

Purpose of review: Palliative medicine is often viewed as a medical specialty reserved for end of life care. This review focuses on the role that palliative care can play in transplant and cardiac assist device programs, along the continuum of a patient's disease course. Recent findings: In general, transplant and cardiac assist programs do not incorporate palliative medicine during the treatment course, but rather reserve it for when the patient is approaching death and is no longer a candidate for transplant or device therapy. There is a new shift, however, to viewing the practice of aggressive medicine and palliative medicine …

Reflections On Recycling, Pollution And History Or, How To Beat The High Cost Of Living, Richard B. Philp

Richard B. Philp

Lessons learned during the Great Depression and World War II may have to be relearned. The three Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle) were essential then to individual and national survival. A fourth R, repair, was practised as well. These lessons, if relearned, will stand us in good stead when dealing with the current economic climate as well as with problems of pollution and global warming.

Rationale And Design Of The Prsm Study: Pulmonary Rehabilitation Of Self Management For Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copd), What Is The Best Approach?, Angela Chang, Terry Haines, Claire Jackson, Ian Yang, Jennifer Nitz, Nancy Low Choy, Bill Vicenzino

Nancy Low Choy

Background:
Pulmonary rehabilitation is only accessible by a small proportion of individuals with COPD. For the vast majority who are not able to access these programs, self management approaches may be an alternative to improve health care outcomes.

Methods:
The PRSM study is a three group randomised controlled trial with individual randomisation, blinded outcome assessment, 3 monthly follow-up assessments across a 12-month period and concurrent economic evaluation. The inclusion criteria are adults with COPD. The primary outcome measure is the St George Respiratory Disease Questionnaire.

Worldwide Variation In The Doubling Time Of Alzheimer's Disease Incidence Rates, Kathryn Ziegler-Graham, Ron Brookmeyer, Elizabeth Johnson, H. Michael Arrighi

Ron Brookmeyer

Background The doubling time is the number of chronological years for the age-specific incidence rate to double in magnitude. Doubling times describe the rate of increase of the risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD) with advancing age. Estimates of doubling times of AD assist in understanding disease etiology and forecasting future disease prevalence. The objective of this study was to investigate regional and gender differences in the doubling of AD age-specific incidence rates.

Methods We identified all studies in the peer review literature that reported age-specific incidence rates for AD. We modeled the logarithm of the incidence rate as a linear …
