Evidence-based medicine (EBM) aims to integrate three elements in patient care: the patient situation, scientific evidence, and the doctors' expertise. This review aims 1) to assess how these elements are systematically different in older patients and 2) to propose strategies how to improve EBM in older patients. The ageing process systematically affects all three elements that constitute EBM. ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) processes such as electron beam melting (EBM) are characterized by unprecedented design freedom. Topology optimization and of the microstructure metallic materials enabled rapid progress in this field. The latter is highest importance many applications demand appropriate mechanical well functional material properties. For instance, biodegradable implants have to meet...

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is not a old hat, a "cookbook" medicine perpetrated by arrogant to serve cost cutters to suppress clinical freedom, a mandatory, deterministic, totalitarian practice of medicine, a way to control cost and to ignore patient preferences, a limit to personal/ humanistic/individual medicine. EBM is a reference of excellence to guide clinical decisions, the integration ...

We probed epidermal basement membranes (EBM) of acid-urea denatured skin from members of kindreds with Alport-type familial nephritis (FN) for the presence of antigens reactive with Goodpasture sera (GPS) and serum (FNS) from an Alport patient who developed anti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis in a renal allograft. By immunoblotting, GPS reacted primarily with the 28,000 molecular ...

Even though the evidence-based medicine (EBM) movement labels mechanisms a low quality form of evidence, consideration of the mechanisms on which medicine relies, and the distinct roles that mechanisms might play in clinical practice, offers a number of insights into EBM itself. In this paper, I examine the connections between EBM and mechanisms from several angles. I diagnose what went wrong i...

This article describes the judgements used to interpret evidence in evidence-based medicine (EBM) and health technology assessment (HTA). It outlines the methods and processes of EBM and HTA. Respectively, EBM and HTA are approaches to medical clinical decision making and efficient allocation of scarce health resources. At the heart of both is a concern to review and synthesise evidence, especi...

RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES Evidence-based medicine (EBM) journal clubs are used by health care practitioners to critique and remain updated on relevant health literature. Vote cards, in three different colours (green/yellow/red), allow participants to express their opinions (agree/doubt/reject) on the quality and possibility of clinical application regarding the article being reviewed. Our ...

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) was introduced in the early 1990s. In less than 15 years, it has dramatically changed the way that medicine is practiced and taught. Improvements in informatics and evidence resources have helped overcome some of the initial problems and allowed busy clinicians to use EBM in practice. Many barriers to using EBM still remain. Further work on translating evidence int...

background and purpose: today, according to busy doctors, one of the ways to keep their medical information up to date is the use of evidence-based medicine (ebm). the purpose of this study was to determine the educational needs of ebm in clinical faculty members working in shahid beheshti university hospitals in tehran and the prioritization of these needs . methods: the study was descriptive,...
