Abstract Medical knowledge, central to the improvement of health, comprises a wide variety of elements, from the understanding of health risks, through the impact of preventive, diagnostic, curative, and palliative procedures, to the effect of different delivery systems for medical technologies. All these forms of knowledge are subject not only to public (government and non-profit organization) and commercial involvement, but often also to direct community interest in the form of “traditional” knowledge.

Abstract Medical knowledge appears to be objective, scientific fact. From the perspective of the sociology of history and the sociology of medicine it reflects social, economic, and political factors and obscures the social relations of sickness and disease.

Implication for health policy/practice/research/medical education: This paper assess the knowledge of Iranian medical interns regarding cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. Copyright c 2012, Kowsar Corp. All rights reserved. Objectives: Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is one of the most important procedures in emergency medicine. As new trends are evolving in medical education, we planned to evaluate the interests and knowledge of medical students regarding educational methods in CPR learning. Materials and Methods: In a cross-sectional analytical descriptive study, a standardized questionnaire was distributed among 180 medical interns at the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. The questionnaire had three parts: demographics, general questions, and CPR knowledge. If they had more than 10 correct answers (out of 15) in knowledge, they were placed in group A and if more than 5, in group B and correct answers less than 5 were cat-egorized in group C. Results: 159 interns filled the questionnaires. Mean age was 24.99 ± 0.96 and 56.5 % were fe-

In the past 100 years, there has been an explosion of medical knowledge-and in the next 50 years, more medical knowledge will be available than ever before. Regrettably, current medical practice has been unable to keep pace with this explosion of medical knowledge. Specialized medical knowledge has been confined largely to academic medical centers (i.e., teaching hospitals) and to specialists in major cities; it has been disconnected from primary care clinicians on the front lines of patient care. To bridge this disconnect, medical knowledge must be demonopolized, and a platform for collaborative practice amongst all clinicians needs to be created. A new model of health care and education delivery called Project ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes), developed by the first author, does just this. Using videoconferencing technology and case-based learning, ECHO's medical specialists provide training and mentoring to primary care clinicians working in rural and urban underserved areas so that the latter can deliver the best evidence-based care to patients with complex health conditions in their own communities. The ECHO model increases access to care in rural and underserved areas, and it demonopolizes specialized medical knowledge and expertise.

Abstract Consensus conferences, evidence-based medicine, translational medicine, and narrative medicine are among the most prominent new methods in medicine. This book explores their origins and aims, their epistemic strengths, and their epistemic weaknesses. The book argues that the familiar dichotomy between the art and the science of medicine is not adequate for understanding this methodological pluralism. The book begins by tracing the development of medical consensus conferences, from their beginning at the United States’ National Institutes of Health in 1977, to their widespread adoption in national and international contexts. It discusses consensus conferences as social epistemic institutions designed to embody democracy and achieve objectivity. Evidence-based medicine, which developed next, ranks expert consensus at the bottom of the evidence hierarchy, thus challenging the authority of consensus conferences. Evidence-based medicine has transformed both medical research and clinical medicine in many positive ways, but it has also been accused of creating an intellectual hegemony that has marginalized crucial stages of scientific research, particularly scientific discovery. Translational medicine is understood as a response to the shortfalls of both consensus conferences and evidence-based medicine. Narrative medicine is the most prominent recent development in the medical humanities. Its central claim is that attention to narrative is essential for patient care. The book argues that the differences between narrative medicine and the other methods have been exaggerated, and offers a pluralistic account of how all the methods interact and sometimes conflict. The result yields suggestions for how to improve medical knowledge and understand medical controversies.

There is a growing need for better understanding of bone loss with age, with osteoporosis, and with metabolic bone disease in general. The aging female population in the world is constantly increasing in number, and thus the number of subjects predisposed to an osteoporotic fracture syndrome (spine, hip, and radius). The impact of osteoporotic fractures on health-care resources is al ready significant and expected to increase even further. Therapeutic efforts to restore bone already lost have been unsuccessful, withtheexceptionofsodiumfluoride,and the emphasis is now directed toward finding measures to decelerate or if possible prevent this bone loss. During the past two decades, these investigations have been the stimulus for a growing interest in developing nontrau matic measurement techniques for bone mineral. As a result, several useful and well-tested clinically applicable procedures to assess bone mineral are now available to physicians concerned with the clinical diagnosis and treatment of bone disease. Instruments ranging from those requiring modest financial investments (single photon absorptiometry) to heavy investments (x-ray computed tomography, neutron activation analysis) are offered by several commercial suppliers. As different methods are applied to bone-mineral measurements, the complex behavior of mineral in the skeleton is gradually unraveled. It appears that not only do cortical and trabecular bone show different responses to physiological and abnormal stimuli, but variations in degree may be found even in individual bones or parts of a bone. This explains why there is no single technique applicable to all clinical questions regarding mineral status of the skeleton and why a certain familiarity with several techniques is necessary to select the most ap propriate technique for a given clinical problem. It is often not a poor technique but rather the selection of an
