Evaluation & the Health Professions / March 2002 Chalmers et al. / A BRIEF HISTORY Science is supposed to be cumulative, but scientists only rarely cumulate evidence scientifically. This means that users of research evidence have to cope with a plethora of reports of individual studies with no systematic attempt made to present new results in the context of similar studies. Although the need to synthesize research evidence has been recognized for well over two centuries, explicit methods for this form of research were not developed until the 20th century. The development of methods to reduce statistical imprecision using quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis) preceded the development of methods to reduce biases, the latter only beginning to receive proper attention during the last quarter of the 20th century. In this article, the authors identify some of the trends and highlights in this history, to which researchers in the physical, natural, and social sciences have all contribut

Wilt, MD, MPH; Steven Weinberger, MD; and Douglas K. Owens, MD, MS, for the Clinical Efficacy Assessment Subcommittee of the American College of Physicians* Recommendation 1: In patients with respiratory symptoms, particularly dyspnea, spirometry should be performed to diagnose airflow obstruction. Spirometry should not be used to screen for airflow obstruction in asymptomatic individuals. (Grade: strong recommendation, moderate-quality evidence. ) Recommendation 2: Treatment for stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) should be reserved for patients who have respiratory symptoms and FEV1 less than 60% predicted, as documented by spirometry. (Grade: strong recommendation, moderatequality evidence. ) Recommendation 3: Clinician

Diciembre 2009 - Volumen I Ficha Publicación de la Dirección General de Farmacia y Productos Sanitarios Evaluación de la bioequivalencia de una formulación genérica de atorvastatina comparada con la formulación de referencia nº 44 Índice de contenidos Conclusiones • La bioequivalencia y los estudios de bioequivalencia • La atorvastatina, características farmacocinéticas • Estudio de bioequivalencia de atorvastatina farma ratio 40 mg comprimidos recubiertos EFG (farma ratio) vs lipitor® 40 mg comprimidos (Pfizer Ireland Pharmaceuticals) • Atorvastatina de referencia VS genérica: valoración del impacto sobre el ahorro • Conclusiones 1. Las dos formulaciones de atorvastatina fueron bien toleradas con un perfil de seguridad similar. 2. Las dos formulaciones de atorvastatina se considera que son intercambiables. 3. La prescripción de la formulación genérica supondría un ahorro de más de 20 millones de € en un periodo de 9 meses (periodo estudiado: enero – septiembre 2009).

CONSIDERACIONES INICIALES: 1. 1. La ventilación no invasiva es un tipo de soporte ventilatorio artificial mecánico o no mecánico que facilita la mecánica ventilatoria. Modifica el patrón ventilatorio de la insuficiencia respiratoria aguda (respiración rápida y superficial), reduciendo la frecuencia respiratoria y aumentando el volumen corriente y favoreciendo la ventilación alveolar (reduce le colapso alveolar mejorando el reclutamiento alveolar y por lo tanto el shunt) con una presión positiva que se aplica a través de mascarillas nasales, nasobucales o faciales, sin necesidad de intubación endotraqueal y supone una alternativa a la ventilación mecánica invasiva en algunas indicaciones clínicas. Existen en la actualidad opciones de ventilación no invasiva con presión negativa a través
