Evidence- Based Medicine (EBM) aims to bring the best available evidence into clinical practice.  Different clinical methods of education such as in-patient rounds, follow up rounds, out-patients rounds, group sessions, grand rounds, lectures, and journal clubs could be held by EBM approach. The current text presents two interrelated case reports; a case report of EBM decision making in an emer...

In 1992, the Evidence-Based Medicine Working Group produced a remarkable report in which evidence-based medicine (EBM) is characterized as emergent “new paradigm” for medical practice.1 This characterization seems, at first glance, innocent as it might represent a mere borrowing from the vocabularies of philosophy and history of science. Nevertheless, it is well to note that the word paradigm h...

BACKGROUND The concept of evidence-based medicine (EBM) was introduced in 1992. Incorporation of EBM into physicians' practices, however, has been slow. Testordering tendencies are still based on variables that are not necessarily evidence-based. METHODS The literature was reviewed to identify the non-EBM variables that affect physicians' practices of test ordering. Studies of interest were l...

This study characterized properties of Ti-6Al-4V ELI (extra low interstitial, ASTM grade 23) specimens fabricated by a laser beam melting (LBM) and an electron beam melting (EBM) system for dental applications. Titanium alloy specimens were made into required size and shape for each standard test using fabrication methods. The LBM specimens were made by an LBM machine utilizing 20 µm of Ti-6Al-...

The event-based model (EBM) for data-driven disease progression modeling estimates the sequence in which biomarkers for a disease become abnormal. This helps in understanding the dynamics of disease progression and facilitates early diagnosis by staging patients on a disease progression timeline. Existing EBM methods are all generative in nature. In this work we propose a novel discriminative a...

Evidence Based Medicine integrates clinical expertise, best available clinical evidence, as well as patient’s values and preferences to manage the care of patients. Surgeons have traditionally performed surgery according to their mentor teachings, these techniques being passed down through several generations. Current surgeon culture must evolve to integrate EBM into their clinical practice. Th...

AIM To determine the use of evidence-based medicine (EBM) information and the level of awareness and knowledge of EBM among patients in Croatia. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 987 patients in 10 family medicine practices in Croatia. Patients from both urban (n=496) and rural (n=482) areas were surveyed. A 27-item questionnaire was used to collect data about sources that p...

Introduction: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) endorses evolving scholarly education regarding evidence-based medicine (EBM) and its clinical application in Internal Medicine (IM). IM residents at Navy Readiness Training Center San Diego (NMRTC-SD) communicated the need both increased ambulatory didactic sessions as well a formal EBM curriculum. Prior to academic...

Introduction As the current debates throughout the US attest, there are wide disagreements about the shape of future US health care delivery. Nevertheless, a general consensus has emerged about the need for more efficient interventions that are based on reliable scientific evidence. This need has been filled by evidence-based medicine (EBM), which employs meta-analyses and randomized controlled...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: Ecosystem-based management Cultural capital Forest policy Silviculture Bureaucracy Forests in North America have been managed, or unmanaged, under a number of different policy regimes, most recently ecosystem-based management (EBM), which has emerged in response to perceived widespread ecological degradation. But as policy regimes shift, links between stated obje...
