joannalyall50@gmail.com Maurice King said he was not ambitious to be a professor or head of department, rather he wanted “to make the world turn better.” He understood his efforts might not be received in the spirit they were made, however, quoting Molière’s maxim, “It is a madness like no other to want to interfere in correcting the world.” “He loved people and wanted to improve healthcare but didn’t always choose the best way of expressing his ideas,” said his son Ben. In 1990 a Guardian news story interpreted his Lancet paper, Health is a sustainable state ,1 as a call for sick children in the developing world to be left to die. “Reduced childhood mortality must no longer be promoted as a necessary and sufficient condition for reduced mortality,” he wrote. He argued that oral rehydration should not be introduced at a population level if there were no “complementary ecological sustaining measures” such as family planning, as this would “increase the man years of human misery.” “However, the individual doctor must rehydrate his patient,” he said. It was a nuanced argument and the Guardian article provoked angry letters from Unicef and …
joannalyall50@gmail.com 莫里斯-金说,他并没有成为教授或系主任的野心,而是想 "让世界变得更好"。不过,他也明白自己的努力可能不会得到人们的认可,他引用莫里哀的格言说:"想要干预纠正世界,是一种前所未有的疯狂"。"他的儿子本说:"他热爱人民,希望改善医疗保健,但并不总是选择最好的方式来表达自己的想法。1990 年,《卫报》的一篇新闻报道将他发表在《柳叶刀》上的论文《健康是一种可持续的状态》1 解释为呼吁让发展中国家的患病儿童任其死去。"他写道:"不能再把降低儿童死亡率作为降低死亡率的必要和充分条件。他认为,如果没有计划生育等 "补充性生态维持措施",就不应该在人口层面引入口服补液疗法,因为这会 "增加人类的痛苦年数"。"他说:"但是,医生个人必须为病人补液。这是一个细致入微的论点,《卫报》的文章激起了联合国儿童基金会和......的愤怒。

Helen Salisbury
One of the huge attractions of practising medicine in the UK is that we can make our treatment decisions according to our patient’s clinical need, not their ability to pay. Most of the time, I don’t need to tailor my clinical advice to what my patient can afford or whether they’re insured—although I do have to think about money, about the capacity of the NHS as a whole and its finances. This is one of the many reasons I’m proud and happy to be a GP in the NHS. I was therefore shocked to …
在英国行医的一大魅力在于,我们可以根据病人的临床需求而非支付能力来决定治疗方案。大多数时候,我不需要根据病人的经济承受能力或是否投保来调整我的临床建议--尽管我确实需要考虑钱的问题,考虑整个英国国家医疗服务体系的能力和财政状况。这也是我为自己是国民医疗服务体系中的一名全科医生而感到自豪和高兴的众多原因之一。因此,我对...

Appropriate management of heart failure in older people with frailty 对体弱老年人的心力衰竭进行适当管理
Pub Date : 2024-11-26 DOI: 10.1136/bmj-2023-078188
Henry John Woodford, Dan McKenzie, Lucy Mary Pollock
Guideline directed medical therapy for heart failure for older people with frailty may do more harm than good, say Henry Woodford and colleagues The management of heart failure is evolving. Recent clinical trials have widened the range of effective treatments. Simultaneously, recognition is growing of the importance of frailty in populations with an increasing proportion of older people.1 Heart failure, old age, and frailty are intertwined. The prevalence of frailty increases with age.2 The average age at diagnosis of heart failure is around 77 years in developed countries,34 and mortality rises with age, reaching almost 40% in the first year after diagnosis among those over 85.4 Frailty is present in up to 45% of people with heart failure,5 and people with existing frailty are more likely to develop heart failure.6 In 2022-23 around 5300 people a month were admitted to hospitals in England and Wales because of a heart failure exacerbation, with an average age around 78.7 However, uncertainty remains about management of heart failure in patients with frailty. Some clinicians champion the wider use of evidence based therapies; others urge a more cautious approach. Who is right? The medical management of heart failure has improved substantially. Trials demonstrating benefits from concomitant use of several drug classes have been translated into guidelines to standardise management and promote best practice.891011 Typically, people who have heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are recommended a combination of four or five drugs—a beta blocker, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or combined angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor, a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, and a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor—plus a loop diuretic for symptom relief. For people with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HfpEF) guidelines recommend an SGLT-2 inhibitor alone, alongside a loop …
亨利-伍德福德及其同事说:指南指导的针对体弱老年人心力衰竭的药物治疗可能弊大于利 心力衰竭的治疗在不断发展。最近的临床试验扩大了有效治疗的范围。与此同时,在老年人比例不断增加的人群中,人们越来越认识到体弱的重要性1。2 在发达国家,确诊心衰的平均年龄约为 77 岁34 ,死亡率随着年龄的增长而上升,在 85 岁以上人群中,确诊后第一年的死亡率几乎达到 40%。2022-23 年间,英格兰和威尔士每月约有 5300 人因心衰加重而入院,平均年龄约为 78 岁。一些临床医生主张更广泛地使用循证疗法,而另一些则主张采取更为谨慎的方法。谁是正确的?心力衰竭的药物治疗已经有了很大改进。证明同时使用几类药物可带来益处的试验已转化为规范管理和推广最佳实践的指南。通常情况下,建议射血分数降低型心力衰竭(HFrEF)患者联合使用四种或五种药物--β受体阻滞剂、血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂或血管紧张素受体肾素联合抑制剂、矿物质皮质激素受体拮抗剂和钠-葡萄糖协同转运体 2 (SGLT-2) 抑制剂--外加一种缓解症状的环利尿剂。对于射血分数保留型心力衰竭(HfpEF)患者,指南建议他们在使用襻利尿剂的同时,单独使用SGLT-2抑制剂。

Partha Kar: Leng’s review of physician and anaesthesia associates is welcome—with guarded optimism Partha Kar:欢迎 Leng 对医生和麻醉师同事的审查--但要谨慎乐观

Partha Kar
Finally, we’re here. After months of heated debates, social media uproar, royal colleges in turmoil, and the reputation of many national organisations being questioned, the worm has turned. The health and social care secretary, Wes Streeting, has called for a review of how physician and anaesthesia associates are deployed in the NHS.1 The chair of the review, Gillian Leng, has a strong reputation and is well placed to conduct it. Since the stipulation is to look at data and views neutrally and to reach a decision about whether these roles are a cost effective use of taxpayers’ money, the former chief of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is as good as it gets. So, what next? One thing is to allow open communication from all parties and ensure that there’s a genuine desire to investigate this thoroughly. This issue won’t just go away. …
终于,我们到了。经过几个月的激烈辩论、社交媒体的骚动、皇家学院的动荡以及许多国家组织声誉的质疑,事情终于有了转机。卫生与社会关怀部部长韦斯-斯泰廷(Wes Streeting)呼吁对国民医疗服务体系中医生和麻醉助理的调配方式进行审查1。审查主席吉莉安-冷(Gillian Leng)声誉卓著,完全有能力开展这项工作。既然规定要中立地研究数据和观点,并就这些角色是否符合纳税人的成本效益做出决定,那么国家健康与护理卓越研究所的前所长就再合适不过了。那么,下一步该怎么办?一是允许各方进行公开交流,确保各方都有彻底调查此事的真诚愿望。这个问题不会就此消失。...

Unified response is needed to tackle tuberculosis among refugees and migrants 应对难民和移民中的结核病需要采取统一对策
Pub Date : 2024-11-26 DOI: 10.1136/bmj.q2598

Tuberculosis is a preventable and curable disease that continues to devastate the most vulnerable, including migrant and refugee communities in the shadows of global crises According to the World Health Organization’s global tuberculosis report, TB is one of the world’s deadliest infectious killers, claiming 1.25 million lives (including 161 000 deaths among people with HIV) and causing 10.8 million people to become ill in 2023.1 Refugees, migrants, and other displaced people are disproportionately vulnerable to tuberculosis, facing compounded risks such as inadequate healthcare, unsafe living conditions, and legal and social barriers.2 Only through unified and decisive action can we prevent further ill health and loss of life from TB. Globally, around a billion people—equivalent to one in every eight people—have experienced migration or forced displacement.345 Although not all refugees and migrants are vulnerable, the scale of the vulnerable population is staggering. For example, in the first half of 2024, over 120 million people had been forcibly displaced because of persecution, conflict, violence, or human rights violations and other disruptive events. This includes 46 million refugees and other people in need …
根据世界卫生组织的全球结核病报告,结核病是世界上最致命的传染病杀手之 一,将在 2023 年夺走 125 万人的生命(其中包括 161 000 名艾滋病毒感染者的死 亡),并导致 1 080 万人患病。1 难民、移民和其他流离失所者极易感染结核病,他们面临着医疗保健不足、不安全的生活条件以及法律和社会障碍等多重风险。只有采取统一、果断的行动,我们才能防止结核病造成更多的健康问题和生命损失。全球约有十亿人--相当于每八人中就有一人--经历过移民或被迫流离失所。345 虽然并非所有难民和移民都是弱势群体,但弱势群体的规模是惊人的。例如,在 2024 年上半年,有超过 1.2 亿人因迫害、冲突、暴力或侵犯人权及其他破坏性事件而被迫流离失所。这其中包括 4600 万难民和其他需要帮助的人......

It’s time to put compassion back into compassionate care 是时候让关爱回归关爱了
Pub Date : 2024-11-25 DOI: 10.1136/bmj.q2645
Al Aynsley-Green
There is a stark mismatch between the current wonders of medical science and the relentless erosion of humanity of care in our healthcare services. It is time to put compassion back into healthcare. What is compassion? It’s not only putting yourself in the shoes of others, but also doing something about it. It is an active concept by contrast to empathy which is just putting yourself in the shoes of others. Compassion can be taught, measured, and audited. There is compelling evidence that this is needed. The family support organisation Congenital Hyperinsulinism International (CHI) has worked with over 600 participants examining the “journeys” that families experience when their child is found to have this devastating illness which causes severe hypoglycaemia.1 If it is not recognised and treated promptly, it causes life-long brain damage. The research by CHI found that families remembered individual doctors and nurses who showed them compassion, but it was not embedded in the organisational cultures of the hospitals in which their children received care. For example, compassion was not always present …
当前医学科学的奇迹与医疗保健服务中人性关怀的无情侵蚀之间存在着明显的不匹配。是时候让医疗保健重新充满同情心了。什么是同情心?它不仅是设身处地地为他人着想,而且还要为此做些什么。与设身处地为他人着想的同理心相比,同情心是一个积极的概念。同情心是可以教导、衡量和审核的。有令人信服的证据表明需要这样做。先天性高胰岛素血症国际组织(CHI)与 600 多名参与者合作,研究了当孩子被发现患有这种会导致严重低血糖的毁灭性疾病时,家庭所经历的 "旅程"。中智组织的研究发现,患儿家庭记得个别医生和护士对他们表示的同情,但这种同情并没有融入他们的孩子接受治疗的医院的组织文化中。例如,同情心并不总是存在......

### What you need to know A 12 year old boy presented with a history of recurrent frank haematuria. He reported three or four episodes in the past three months, with each episode quickly fading after a couple of days. On detailed questioning, he revealed that, during each episode, he experienced transient mild dysuria, urinary frequency, urgency, and central abdominal discomfort. Abdominal examination revealed no tenderness, his foreskin was retractable, and no meatal inflammation or excoriation was visible. In clinic his urine looked clear yellow with no visible blood. Urine dipstick revealed 3+of blood. Visible haematuria (macroscopic) is visible bloody discoloration of urine. With easy availability of urine dipstick tests, the incidental discovery of persistent (defined as more than 6 months) non-visible haematuria (microscopic haematuria or NVH) may also occur. Visible haematuria is rare, and its incidence is unknown, whereas non-visible haematuria has been found in up to 5% of school children on mass screening in Asian schools,12 with up to 0.5% persisting three to six months later. Unlike in adults, underlying malignancy as a cause of haematuria in children is extremely rare (<0.1%).345 Although the underlying cause cannot be determined by whether the haematuria is visible or non-visible, isolated non-visible haematuria is most commonly idiopathic, whereas visible haematuria may stem from the kidney (such as IgA nephropathy or autoimmune disease) or the urinary tract (such as posterior urethritis, urinary tract stones, balanitis, or urinary tract infection46).

### 您需要了解的内容 一名 12 岁男孩因反复出现典型血尿而就诊。他说在过去的三个月里发作过三四次,每次发作几天后很快就消失了。经详细询问,他透露每次发作时都会出现一过性轻度排尿困难、尿频、尿急和腹部中央不适。腹部检查没有发现压痛,包皮可以退缩,也没有肉眼可见的炎症或切除。他的尿液呈清黄色,无明显血迹。尿液滴度计显示有 3+ 的血迹。可见血尿(宏观)是指尿液中有明显的血色。随着尿液量尺检测的普及,也可能偶然发现持续性(定义为超过 6 个月)非肉眼血尿(镜下血尿或 NVH)。肉眼可见血尿很少见,其发病率尚不清楚,而在亚洲学校的大规模筛查中,发现多达5%的学龄儿童存在非肉眼可见血尿12 ,其中多达0.5%的儿童在三至六个月后仍存在非肉眼可见血尿。与成人不同,作为儿童血尿病因的潜在恶性肿瘤极为罕见(<0.1%)。345 虽然不能根据血尿是可见还是非可见来确定潜在病因,但孤立的非可见血尿最常见于特发性血尿,而可见血尿可能源于肾脏(如 IgA 肾病或自身免疫性疾病)或泌尿道(如后尿道炎、泌尿道结石、包皮龟头炎或泌尿道感染46)。这将......
