Medical knowledge level of Roma inmantes
Conclusions. We have noticed that a great part of the subjects did not have basic medical knowledge. We can say that the level of tuition has a direct impact on FEV1. The primary care physician can potentially improve patient outcomes by increasing medical education level, including the recognition of exacerbation, risk factors, signs and symptoms. The format for the delivery of education will vary depending on staff availability and expertise.

Psoriasis: Which therapy for which patient
Despite the availability of several new systemic agents for psoriasis treatment, choosing the right therapy in certain patient populations can be challenging. There are few up-to-date reviews on systemic drugs for moderate to severe psoriasis in pregnant and pediatric patients and in patients with concomitant chronic infections, such as hepatitis, HIV, and latent tuberculosis. These groups are usually excluded from clinical trials, and much of the available evidence is based on anecdotal case reports and case series.
