Predicting Red Blood Cell Transfusions In Very Low Birth Weight Infants Based On Clinical Risk Factors., David A. Paul, Stephen A. Pearlman, Kathleen H. Leef, John L. Stefano
Department of Pediatrics Faculty Papers
OBJECTIVE: To describe the clinical factors most predictive of red blood cell transfusion in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.
STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective review of VLBW infants cared for at a single level III NICU during a two year period, n = 199.
RESULTS: Overall transfusion requirement was 4.6 +/- 6.2 transfusions/infant/hospital course. Length of hospital stay, days of mechanical ventilation, requirement for dopamine support, birth weight, initial hematocrit, periventricular leukomalacia and necrotizing enterocolitis all independently correlated with number of transfusions and donors. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and patent ductus arteriosus were associated with donor but not transfusion number.
CONCLUSIONS: Our data …

Do Patients With Breast Cancer Participating In Clinical Trials Receive Better Nursing Care?, Myriam Skrutkowska, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To examine differences in nursing care received by patients with breast cancer enrolled in clinical trials and those not enrolled in clinical trials.
DESIGN: Retrospective review of clinic charts.
SETTING: Oncology outpatient department of a tertiary-care hospital. SAMPLE: 90 women with early stage breast cancer. The mean age of the women was 53 years. More than half of the women (51 of 90) were treated in a clinical trial.
METHODS: Retrospective chart review of all the nurse-patient clinic encounters for a six-month period from date of cancer diagnosis. The content of each encounter was coded using a modified version …

Duty And Healing: The Lifework Of Benjamin Freedman, Charles Weijer
Duty And Healing: The Lifework Of Benjamin Freedman, Charles Weijer
Charles Weijer
BENJAMIN FREEDMAN, un des plus grands bioéthiciens du Canada et universitaire re- connu sur la scène internationale, est mort le 20 mars 1997. Professeur de médecine à l’Université McGill de Montréal, Freedman a beaucoup contribué au domaine de la bioéthique, où il a fait notamment des travaux fondamentaux sur le consentement éclairé et la compétence. Dans le domaine de l’éthique de la recherche, Freedman est l’auteur du concept de l’équivalence clinique comme condition préalable à l’exécution éthique de recherches cliniques. Des travaux subséquents ont clarifié l’analyse éthique du risque et les limites du risque permis- sible en recherche sur les …

Selecting Subjects For Participation In Clinical Research: An Empirical Inquiry And Ethical Analysis, Charles Weijer
Selecting Subjects For Participation In Clinical Research: An Empirical Inquiry And Ethical Analysis, Charles Weijer
Philosophy Publications
Procedures for the selection of subjects for participation in randomized clinical trials--usually formalized as eligibility criteria in the study protocol--have both scientific and ethical implications. In this thesis, I undertake an examination of eligibility criteria at three stages in the genesis and dissemination of medical knowledge: clinical trial protocol, interpretation by investigators, and reporting of study results.
In the first chapter, ethical issues in subject selection are reviewed and the main study questions are presented. In the second chapter, the results of an examination of eligibility criteria in two sets of clinical trials, one sponsored by the NSABP, the other …

Bioethics For Clinicians: 10. Research Ethics, Charles Weijer, Bernard Dickens, Eric Meslin
Charles Weijer
Medical research involving human subjects raises complex ethical, legal and social issues. Investigators sometimes find that their obligations with respect to a research project come into conflict with their obligations to individual patients. The ethical conduct of research rests on 3 guiding principles: respect for persons, beneficience, and justice. Respect for persons underlies the duty to obtain informed consent from study participants. Beneficence demands a favourable balance between the potential benefits and harms of participation. Justice requires that vulnerable people not be exploited and that eligible candidates who may benefit from participation not be excluded without good cause. Studies must …

Harry F. Harlow And Animal Research: Reflection On The Ethical Paradox, John P. Gluck
Experimentation Collection
With respect to the ethical debate about the treatment of animals in biomedical and behavioral research, Harry F. Harlow represents a paradox. On the one hand, his work on monkey cognition and social development fostered a view of the animals as having rich subjective lives filled with intention and emotion. On the other, he has been criticized for the conduct of research that seemed to ignore the ethical implications of his own discoveries. The basis of this contradiction is discussed and propositions for current research practice are presented.
Ancient Answers To Modern Questions: Death, Dying And Organ Transplants - A Jewish Law Perspective, Stephen J. Werber
Ancient Answers To Modern Questions: Death, Dying And Organ Transplants - A Jewish Law Perspective, Stephen J. Werber
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Core values of the Jewish heritage are life and family, not death. An interpretation of Halachah which permits a broad definition of passive euthanasia without lapsing into acceptance of active euthanasia or its more evil cousin, assisted suicide, is consistent with these values. Also consistent with these values and the Jewish tradition is a modern definition of death which recognizes advances in medical technology that were beyond the knowledge or imagination of those who created the vast body of Rabbinic law. This approach will not only ease the suffering of families, it will allow organ transplants to save the lives …
Tell Me A Story: Using Short Fiction In Teaching Law And Bioethics, Dena S. Davis
Tell Me A Story: Using Short Fiction In Teaching Law And Bioethics, Dena S. Davis
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
For some years now, I have been experimenting with the use of short stories. Despite rich resources for stories, there remains a void best filled by fiction. When discussing fiction, we can probe, criticize, and express ourselves freely without the constraints we feel when discussing real people. Good fiction lays bare the innermost thoughts and experiences of its characters, perhaps even their dreams and nightmares, in a way that would be intrusive, uncomfortable, or impossible, even in autobiography. When the entire class reads a short story, it provides a pool of shared experience, a fixed point for discussion. Just as …
Cochlear Implants And The Claims Of Culture: A Response To Lane And Grodin, Dena S. Davis
Cochlear Implants And The Claims Of Culture: A Response To Lane And Grodin, Dena S. Davis
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
Because I reject the notion that physical characteristics constitute cultural membership, I argue that, even if the claim were persuasive that deafness is a culture rather than a disability, there is no reason to fault hearing parents who choose cochlear implants for their deaf children.
Genetic Dilemmas And The Child's Right To An Open Future, Dena S. Davis
Genetic Dilemmas And The Child's Right To An Open Future, Dena S. Davis
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In this paper, I examine three difficult issues raised by the Human Genome Project, and lay out an approach that takes seriously the interests of the child, present or future, while preserving the traditional commitment of professional geneticists to patient autonomy. The approach I take is based on Joel Feinberg's concept of "the child's right to an open future." In Part II, I describe the Human Genome Project, as well as the advances in assisted reproduction which give people ways to make use of the information engendered by the HGP. In Part III, I discuss the ethics of medical genetics, …
Respect For The Bioethical Dilemmas - The Case Of Physician-Assisted Suicide, Sixty-Fifth Cleveland-Marshall Fund Lecture, John A. Robertson
Respect For The Bioethical Dilemmas - The Case Of Physician-Assisted Suicide, Sixty-Fifth Cleveland-Marshall Fund Lecture, John A. Robertson
Cleveland State Law Review
In this lecture I begin an exploration of the role that respect for human life plays in contemporary bioethics. Although many bioethical dilemmas could be chosen to illustrate this role, I will focus on the case of physician-assisted suicide. This lecture emphasizes the role that respect for human life plays in arbitrating bioethical disputes that involve physician-assisted suicide. I hope to develop some generalizations about how respect for life and autonomy, beneficence and other values interact and thus constitute or define what respect for life means for us. Part I discusses assisted suicide and the ban against actively killing. Part …
