Book Description
Recent advances in gastroenterology and hepatology as well as new findings in biliary and pancreatic diseases are presented in the proceedings of the 86th annual congress of the Japanese Society of Gastroenterology. From the hundreds of papers delivered at the congress, 70 were selected for inclusion here. Opening with special lectures on gastroenterology in the new millennium, ulcerative colitis-pathophysiology and therapy, and life style-related diseases and gastroenterology, the volume is divided into sections reflecting the major concerns of researchers in the science of digestive diseases in Japan today: apoptosis in digestive organs, nitric oxide, transcription factors in digestive organs, antigen-presenting cells, pathology of inflammatory bowel disease, NSAID-induced gastric lesions, microcirculation in digestive diseases, hepatic regeneration, and hepatic fibrosis.

Excerpt from The Clinical Journal, Vol. 27 of 2: Clinical Record, Clinical News, Clinical Gazette, Clinical Reporter, Clinical Chronicle and Clinical Review; A Weekly Record of Clinical Medicine and Surgery, With Their Special Branches, October 18, 1905 April 11, 1906 Gentlemen, - In the diagnosis of disease I do not think it can be too fully understood that a point of great importance is the general impression which you form of a case when it first comes under observation. In order that such an impression may be of real value it is essential that the case be approached in a mental mood which is altogether free from bias. The ordinary academic method of taking notes, as you know, is that in which the history of the patient comes first. The history of the patient is often taken without any special regard to the local condition of the disease as it presents itself to the observer the history having been taken, the examination of the diseased part follows. If you consider the details of such a method, you will see at once that the examination of the actual disease is not approached with quite a free mind, because you will have been biassed, more or less, by what the patient has told you with regard to the history of the complaint. Now, if too much importance is attached to the history in certain conditions of disease, you are very liable to be misled in the matter of diagnosis, because, as I have just said, of the bias which you are apt to get from the account which the patient gives. It is necessary to bear in mind that patients, in giving the history of their own diseases, very frequently include in it the details or recollections of other cases of the same kind of which they have heard, either from their doctor or from friends as the2 The 0iinicaljournal.] sir william bennett.

Book Description
Data sharing can accelerate new discoveries by avoiding duplicative trials, stimulating new ideas for research, and enabling the maximal scientific knowledge and benefits to be gained from the efforts of clinical trial participants and investigators. At the same time, sharing clinical trial data presents risks, burdens, and challenges. These include the need to protect the privacy and honor the consent of clinical trial participants; safeguard the legitimate economic interests of sponsors; and guard against invalid secondary analyses, which could undermine trust in clinical trials or otherwise harm public health. Sharing Clinical Trial Data presents activities and strategies for the responsible sharing of clinical trial data. With the goal of increasing scientific knowledge to lead to better therapies for patients, this book identifies guiding principles and makes recommendations to maximize the benefits and minimize risks. This report offers guidance on the types of clinical trial data available at different points in the process, the points in the process at which each type of data should be shared, methods for sharing data, what groups should have access to data, and future knowledge and infrastructure needs. Responsible sharing of clinical trial data will allow other investigators to replicate published findings and carry out additional analyses, strengthen the evidence base for regulatory and clinical decisions, and increase the scientific knowledge gained from investments by the funders of clinical trials. The recommendations of Sharing Clinical Trial Data will be useful both now and well into the future as improved sharing of data leads to a stronger evidence base for treatment. This book will be of interest to stakeholders across the spectrum of research--from funders, to researchers, to journals, to physicians, and ultimately, to patients.
