Medical fears of the malingering soldier: 'phony cronies' and the Repat in 1960s Australia
Med Hist. 2023 Apr;67(2):172-191. doi: 10.1017/mdh.2023.19. Epub 2023 Aug 1.ABSTRACTThe fear of the malingering soldier or veteran has existed in Australia since its first nationwide military venture in South Africa. The establishment of the Repatriation Department in 1917 saw the medical, military and political fields work collectively, to some extent, to support hundreds of thousands of men who returned from their military service wounded or ill. Over the next decades the medical profession occasionally criticised the Repatriation Department's alleged laxness towards soldier recipients of military pensions, particularly ...

Budget Friendly Simulation for Clinical Nursing Education: Putting It All Together.
This article focuses on three tips for faculty used by one university to objectively capture a clinical snapshot in a cost-effective manner: 1) write one's own scenarios, 2) create assessment forms using Word, and 3) employ bar scanning with quick response code readers.

Foundations and guidelines for high ‐quality three‐dimensional models using photogrammetry: a technical note on the future of neuroanatomy education
AbstractHands-on dissections using cadaveric tissues for neuroanatomical education are not easily available in many educational institutions due to financial, safety and ethical factors. Supplementary pedagogical tools, for instance 3D models of anatomical specimens acquired with photogrammetry are an efficient alternative to democratize the 3D anatomical data. The aim of this study was to describe a technical guideline for acquiring realistic 3D anatomic models with photogrammetry and to improve the teaching and learning process in neuroanatomy. Seven specimens with different sizes, cadaveric tissues, and textures were us...

Call for improved safety data on medical implants
The need to improve the safety of medical devices such as hip and breast implants made the headlines today. The Daily Telegraph reports that experts are calling for an end to the "secrecy" surrounding how they are regulated.
The story is based on an opinion piece published in the British Medical Journal, which calls for European data on medical devices, including their safety and any adverse effects, to be made available to the public.
A second, related, article makes the point that the regulation of medical implants, and the collection and publication of related data on patient safety, fails to match that of m...

How Much Do CT Scans Increase the Risk of Cancer?
Ever since physicians started regularly ordering CT (computed tomography) scans four decades ago, researchers have worried that the medical imaging procedure could increase a patient's risk of developing cancer. CT scanners bombard the human body with x-ray beams, which can damage DNA and create mutations that spur cells to grow into tumors. [More]

The Registration of Medical Graduates from Eastern European Union Countries with the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Medical Council, Ireland.
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the number of medical graduates registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) between 1990 and 2005, whose initial training was in Eastern Europe and who came from universities which have subsequently developed an "English Parallel" course and are now within the European Union (EU). A similar exercise was undertaken with graduates registered with the Medical Council, Ireland. Between 1990 and 2005 one thousand six hundred and fourteen (1614) doctors, who had trained in the selected universities from Eastern Europe, registered with the General Medical Council (...

Families Suffer As Medical Examiners Struggle With Backlogs
BOSTON (AP) — One of the most difficult things about losing her son was not knowing why. Rosanne Carruthers needed to understand how an active, outdoorsy man with no apparent health problems could drop dead at 34.
Carruthers, a nurse, performed CPR after her son, Neil, collapsed in their suburban Boston home. For more than a year, she wondered: Was there something more she could have done? And were her daughter and her grandchildren at risk, too?
For the Carruthers family and others across the country, long delays in receiving death certificates and autopsy reports from medical examiners can not only compound grief, but ...

Therapeutic Effect of Medical Ozone on Lumbar Disc Herniation.
CONCLUSIONS Low concentrations of medical ozone (20 μg/ml and 40 μg/ml) reduced the serum IL-6, IgG, and IgM expression, presenting as analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, while high concentrations of medical ozone (60 μg/ml) increased the serum IL-6, IgG, IgM expression, presenting as pain and pro-inflammatory effects. The medical ozone concentration of 40 μg/ml showed the optimal treatment efficacy.
