This case report describes the first documented case of EBM from anal canal carcinoma. This neoplasm constitutes less than 1% of colorectal tumours. The clinical presentation of this entity is variable, bein...

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are gaining relevance for treating equine joint injuries because of their ability to limit inflammation and stimulate regeneration. Because inflammation activates MSC immunoregulatory function, proinflammatory priming could improve MSC efficacy. However, inflammatory molecules present in synovial fluid or added to the culture medium might have deleterious effects o...

It is argued that the failures to meet the evidence-of-effectiveness challenge, the authority challenge, the conflicting hierarchy challenge, and the definition-of-evidence challenge diminish arguments for the superiority of EBM. In the second...

The drive to empirically evaluate and analyze tools for the screening, diagnosis, management and monitoring of disease captured by the phrase 'evidence-based medicine (EBM)' has firmly entrenched itself as part of standard clinical care. However, rare genetic disorders, by their very nature, challenge the generation and application of EBM. This review presents many of the challenges encountered...

A cross sectional study using a self-administered questionnaire to determine the perceptions of primary care doctors towards evidence-based medicine (EBM) was conclucted in Melaka state.
