People's health perception.

Edoardo Cervoni — 2012-01-10T09:41:44Z

Dear Editor,
I read with interest the paper titled "The use of non-prescription medicine versus self-assessed health: evidence from Malawi".
In the discussion the Authors affirm their findings showed that non-prescription medication use "negatively influences individuals' perceived health as individuals who used such medicines were more likely to report lower levels of self-assessed health".
I argue that the contrary could be the case, which is that the negative perception of health (being unwell) triggers the request for non-prescription medication.
In their conslusion, the Authors somehow clarify the issue questioning the causal relationship.
However, I am still unable to extrapolate from their findings how it can be said that the appropriate use of medicines plays a crucial role in improving people's perception of their health.
Sincerely,
E Cervoni, MD

US approach for all nerve blocks

Oscar Ghelber — 2011-12-16T17:48:41Z

US technique changed the way I do blocks. For the last 2 years I have been using only US to do the blocks and I would not dare do a block without prior visualization. I think not only the block is faster in onset and more intense but also the risk of side effects is lower. I do pediatric anesthesia and I am capable of doing a pediatric block very fast and efficient with US
Sincerely
Oscar Ghelber

Drug Intervention Mississippi

Practical parameter

So we can now predict with some precision the evolution of a group of MCI patients... That´s fantastic! This means that we can now easily say "this patient has a high likelihood to convert to vascular dementia, lets optimize his/her treatment including cardiovascular protective approaches".

This is really a step forward in the current manage of MCI patients. I´d like to be provided with such a test in my clinical practice. Is it going to be commercialized?

Health Educational Interventions

Carlos Vazquez Perez — 2008-08-01T13:17:06Z

Hi,

I find this article really interesting.

I have always thought Educational Intervertions should be the main pillar of any Health System. How many diseases/disorders/injures could be avoided if a well addressed intervention had been performed... On the other hand teaching to general public how to act when diseases such as ischemic cardiopathy or stroke ocurrs is a basic objective.

Nevertheless these interventions have to be well assessed to ensure that are valid and effective. Therefore works like this one are esential to reforce Educational Interventions.
