Delaney PhD, PMH-NP [source] Hospitalists and intensivists: Partners in caring for the critically ill,The time has come,JOURNAL OF HOSPITAL MEDICINE, Issue 1 2010Michael Heisler MD Abstract A report by the Committee on Manpower for Pulmonary and Critical Care Societies (COMPACCS), published in 2000, predicted that beginning in 2007 a gap between the demand and availability of intensivists in the United States would become apparent and steadily increase to 22% by 2020 and to 35% by 2030. Subsequent reports have reiterated those projections including a report to congress in 2006 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services/Health Resources and Services Administration. This "gap" has been called a health system "crisis" by multiple authors. Two important documents have published specific recommendations for how to resolve this crisis: the Framing Options for Critical Care in the United States (FOCCUS) Task Force Report in 2004 and the Prioritizing the Organization and Management of Intensive Care Services in the Unites States (PrOMIS) Conference Report in 2007. Since the initial COMPACCS report and since these 2 additional reports were published, a new opportunity to take a major step in resolving this crisis has emerged: the growing number of hospitalists providing critical care services at secondary and tertiary care facilities. According to the 2005/2006 Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM) National Survey, that number has increased to 75%. Since the number of intensivists is unlikely to change significantly over the next 25 years, the question is no longer "if" hospitalists should be in the intensive care unit (ICU); rather the question is how to assure quality and improved clinical outcomes through enhanced collaboration between hospital medicine and critical care medicine.

[source] Sub-Saharan Africa's Future: A US National Intelligence Council Conference ReportPOPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT REVIEW, Issue 1 2006Article first published online: 23 MAR 200 The US National Intelligence Council's 2020 Report, Mapping the Global Future, was issued in December 2004. It presented an assessment of geopolitical trends and set out some speculative scenarios for global development over the next 15 years. Excerpts were carried in the Documents section of PDR 31, no. 1. A follow-up conference in 2005 brought together a group of US experts on Africa to explore likely trends and drivers of change in sub-Saharan Africa over the same period, partly in the light of the Report's treatment of that region. Part of the NIC's summary of the conference discussions is reproduced below. (Omitted sections discuss globalization, terrorism, democratization, foreign influences, and religion. The full summary is available at http://www.odci.gov/nic/confreports_africa_future.html.) It is notable that the topic of population, which once would have figured heavily in such prognostications, nowhere appears in the conference deliberations. Yet the region's population growth is still rapid,and is plausibly a major driver of change. In the UN's medium projections, sub-Saharan Africa's population, estimated at 906 million in 2005, will more than double by 2050, its share of world population rising from 12 percent to 19 percent. In the 15-year time frame of the NIC it will likely grow by 200 million. Those numbers are of course tenuous, contingent on the expectations they embody about the timing of the region's transition to low death and birth rates (and specifically in their assessment of the future course of the AIDS epidemic),which in turn will be influenced by many of the factors that the NIC conferees considered.

Authors are invited to describe what they feel were the most interesting contributions. The Kirchberg Winterschool provided a platform for reviewing and discussing new developments in the field of electronic properties of molecular nanostructures and their applications such as carbon nanotubes, graphene and single molecules.

Midha Abstract This is a summary report of the International Pharmaceutical Federation/Board of Pharmaceutical Sciences (FIP/BPS) international conference, Bio-International 2005, which was held October 24,26, 2005 at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, in London, UK. Bioequivalence (BE) issues related to multisource locally delivered topical dosage forms, oral inhalation drug products, highly variable drug products (HVDP), and endogenously occurring drugs were discussed. The conference also focused on alternate approaches to assess BE for some of these drug products. Pharmacokinetic (PK) approaches like, dermatopharmacokinetics (DPK) for dermatological topical dosage forms, scaled average BE (s-ABE) where within-subject variability is considered for estimation of 90% confidence intervals to document BE for highly variable drugs (HVD) were recommended. In addition, issues and difficulties related to the BE assessment of oral inhalation products, role, and appropriateness of metabolites in BE assessment, importance of base line correction in BE assessment of endogenously occurring drugs, and waiver of BE study requirements for certain drugs based on a Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS), were also discussed. © 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmacists Association J Pharm Sci 96: 747,754, 2007 [source] HIGH-CONFLICT CUSTODY CASES:Reforming the System for ChildrenFAMILY COURT REVIEW, Issue 2 2001Article first published online: 15 MAR 200 The goal of this interdisciplinary, international conference was to develop recommendations for changes in the legal and mental health systems to reduce the impact of high-conflict custody cases on children. The participants in the conference wish to thank the American Bar Association Family Law Section and The Johnson Foundation for bringing us together to discuss this extremely important topic and for facilitating the creation of this conference report. [source] Life cycle assessment in management, product and process design, and policy decision making: A conference reportINTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT, Issue 1 2005Joyce Cooper On 24 September 2003, life cycle assessment (LCA) practitioners and decision makers gathered at the InLCA/LCM Conference in Seattle, Washington, USA (see http://www.lcacenter.org/lnLCA-LCM03/index.html) to discuss the role of LCA in management, product design, process development, and regulatory/policy development decisions and to compare life cycle-based methods and tools with traditional product evaluation methods and tools. This article is a summary of that meeting and was prepared by the organizers as an overview of the many different technical, regulatory policy, and decision-making policy perspectives presented to an international gathering of participants representing academia and the industrial and regulatory communities. [source] Adolescent Transition to Adult Care in Solid Organ Transplantation: A consensus conference reportAMERICAN JOURNAL OF TRANSPLANTATION, Issue 11 2008L. E. Bell Transition of care from pediatric to adult-oriented health care providers is difficult for children with special health care needs. Children who have received solid organ transplants and their providers experience the same difficulties and frustrations as children with other major illnesses. A consensus conference was organized by several transplant organizations to identify major issues in this area and recommend possible approaches to easing the process of transition for solid organ transplant recipients. This report summarizes the discussions and recommendations. [source] | ||||||||||||||||
