December 22, 2011 at 6am to December 20, 2012 at 6am
The therapeutic goal for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is ultimately to achieve disease remission and improve quality of life for patients. A number of factors often prevent remission. These include less-than-satisfactory treatment coupled with inconsistent management strategies. Under these circumstances, patient adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen can be suboptimal; in addition, discordance between patient and provider can occur.In an effort to bridge the gap between physician and…See More

[Media Watch] Partnering to heal

We are introduced to a postsurgery ward in an American hospital, to which a healthy young female student has been admitted after an appendectomy. She acquires an intravenous-line-associated infection caused by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and dies. The video then retraces the choices and actions of five individuals on the ward who collectively and unwittingly facilitated this outcome. These people include a family member of another patient with MRSA, the physician manager of the ward responsible for implementing and leading safety initiatives, the infection control practitioner providing support for the ward, a third-year medical student, and a registered nurse.

[Series] Non-communicable health risks during mass gatherings

Mass gatherings (MGs) have been associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality from non-communicable diseases, accidents, and terrorist attacks, thus posing complex public health challenges. We assessed the health risks and public health responses to MGs to identify an evidence-based framework for public health interventions. Human stampedes and heat-related illnesses are the leading causes of mortality. Minor traumatic injuries and medical complaints are the main contributors to morbidity and, particularly, the need for onsite medical care. (Source: The Lancet Infectious Diseases)

[Grand Round] Surgical treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis

We present the case of a 26-year-old HIV-seronegative patient with XDR pulmonary tuberculosis refractory to medical therapy. Surgical resection of the patient's solitary cavitary lesion was done as adjunctive treatment, and a successful outcome with a combination of surgery and drug therapy was achieved. We review the history of surgical therapy for tuberculosis and reports of its role in treatment of MDR and XDR tuberculosis. (Source: The Lancet Infectious Diseases)
