Surprising outcomes of general internal medicine care versus specialty care in acutely admitted medical patients
2022, European Journal of Internal MedicineGeneralism in modern subspecializing medicine
2017, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :In fact, in many cases subspecialization unfortunately does not only mean more knowledge in one specific but also not wanting to be involved in any other area of medicine. That means that a patient with multimorbidity needs to see many different specialists and may move from one waiting room to the other while there is no single doctor that oversees the patient as a whole [19]. Interestingly, there has never been any capacity planning for all these subspecialists which has led to an overkill in highly specialized doctors and a shortage of general physicians.
Reconsidering the patient-centeredness of osteopathy
2013, International Journal of Osteopathic MedicineCitation Excerpt :p. 249 Balint19 was perhaps the earliest to coin the term ‘patient-centred medicine’, describing that each patient “has to be understood as a unique human-being,” in contrast to what he termed ’illness-orientated medicine’.19 p. 269 Also from the perspective of medicine, McCormick13 states that “knowing the patient who has the disease, is as important knowing the disease which the patient has”.20 p. 668 A conceptual framework of patient-centeredness is provided by Mead and Power,15 who comprehensively describe five distinct characteristics of patient-centeredness, and is shown in Table 1.
Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors: The Day After
2007, European UrologyCitation Excerpt :This may be explained by the high prevalence of CVD among patients seeking treatment for sexual dysfunction because the potential cardiac risks associated with sexual activity are well established [50]. Moreover, an increasing body of evidence not only supports ED as the first sign of CVD in men with disease-free medical history, but also justifies prevention strategies, because ED may present well before CVD with a mean time interval of even 3 yr [51]. Recently, Montorsi et al. proposed a pathophysiologic mechanism to explain the link between ED and coronary artery disease (CAD), the “the artery size hypothesis.”
