After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory

Acne has a prevalence of over 90% among adolescents and persists into adulthood in approximately 12%–14% of cases with psychological and social implications. Possible outcomes of the inflammatory acne lesions are acne scars which, although they can be treated in a number of ways, may have a negative psychological impact on social life and relationships. The main types of acne scars are atrophic and hypertrophic scars. The pathogenesis of acne scarring is still not fully understood, but several hypotheses have been proposed. There are numerous treatments: chemical peels, dermabrasion/microdermabrasion, laser treatment, punch techniques, dermal grafting, needling and combined therapies for atrophic scars: silicone gels, intralesional steroid therapy, cryotherapy, and surgery for hypertrophic and keloidal lesions. This paper summarizes acne scar pathogenesis, classification and treatment options.

Acne Scars: Pathogenesis, Classification and Treatment

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) remains a puzzling and disabling condition present in 38% of the general population CTS is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies This review aims to provide an overview of this common condition, with an emphasis on the pathophysiology involved in CTS The clinical presentation and risk factors associated with CTS are discussed in this paper Also, the various methods of diagnosis are explored; including nerve conduction studies, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging

Association of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene and approach-related personality traits: meta-analysis and new data.

A retrospective study on 294 wrists in 154 patients who had been diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome and subsequently had surgery performed was undertaken; both clinical and electrodiagnostic findings were correlated. The cases were divided into three groups based on electromyographic severity (mild, moderate, severe), and recovery from symptoms was evaluated after 1 week, 3 months, and I year. The cases were also divided into five groups based on symptom duration, and the same investigations were performed. All operations were conducted by applying the open release method with the limited-palmar incision technique. Operative outcomes showed no association between recovery from symptoms and the severity of electromyographic findings or the duration of symptoms, although the group that had the shortest duration of symptoms recovered faster than the long-duration groups statistically. Postoperative results after 1 year were also successful for those patients who had had symptoms of long duration. Of the 294 wrist operations studied, good to excellent postoperative outcomes were recorded in 242 cases (82 percent), fair outcomes in 39 cases (1 3 percent), and poor outcomes in 13 cases (4 percent). Patients whose electromyogram revealed double crush syndrome still showed improvement, with good-to-excellent results in 1 1 out of 15 cases (73 percent). Patients with diabetes mellitus also showed improvement, with good-to-excellen results in 14 out of 19 patients (74 percent). This study showed that postoperative results were satisfactory within I year, regardless of the degree of electromyographic severity, symptom duration, presence of diabetes mellitus, or double crush syndrome.

Correlation of clinical history and electrodiagnostic abnormalities with outcome after surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.

Background: Accreditation reviews of medical schools typically occur at fixed intervals and result in a summative judgment about compliance with predefined process and outcome standards. However, reviews that only occur periodically may not be optimal for ensuring prompt identification of and remediation of problem areas.Aims: To identify the factors that affect the ability to implement a continuous quality improvement (CQI) process for the interval review of accreditation standards.Methods: Case examples from the United States, Canada, the Republic of Korea and Taiwan, were collected and analyzed to determine the strengths and challenges of the CQI processes implemented by a national association of medical schools and several medical school accrediting bodies. The CQI process at a single medical school also was reviewed.Results: A functional CQI process should be focused directly on accreditation standards so as to result in the improvement of educational quality and outcomes, be feasible to impl...

This study investigated the relationships between genetic polymorphisms, personality traits, and academic achievement in medical school students. Study subjects were 220 1st-year medical students at K

Personality, dopamine receptor D4 exon III polymorphisms, and academic achievement in medical students.

Currently, accreditation in medical education is a priority for many countries worldwide. The World Federation for Medical Education’s (WFME) launch of its 1st trilogy of standards in 2003 was a seminal event promoting accreditation in basic medical education (BME) globally. In parallel, the WFME also actively spearheaded a project to recognize accrediting agencies within individual countries. The introduction of competency-based medical education (CBME), with the 2 key concepts of entrusted professional activity and milestones, has enabled researchers to identify the relationships between patient outcomes and medical education. The recent data-driven approach to CBME has been used for ongoing quality improvement of trainees and training programs. The accreditation goal has shifted from the single purpose of quality assurance to balancing quality assurance and quality improvement. Although there are many types of postgraduate medical education (PGME), it may be possible to accredit resident programs on a global scale by adopting the concept of CBME. It will also be possible to achieve accreditation alignment for BME and PGME, which center on competency. This approach may also make it possible to measure accreditation outcomes against patient outcomes. Therefore, evidence of the advantages of costly and labor-consuming accreditation processes will be available soon, and quality improvement will be the driving force of the accreditation process.
