Communication skills are the cornerstone of being a good doctor and there is a growing trend to incorporate these skills within the medical school curriculum. Medical students are normally well-versed in the medical knowledge needed for their OSCEs but often struggle with the key communication techniques required. This book shows how better communication skills will lead to a better consultation. It combines a practical approach to communicating with the essential clinical knowledge needed to help students perfect their consultations. It is written by medical students and junior doctors for medical students and junior doctors. Communication Skills for OSCEs is the first medical OSCEs book to focus on the key communication skills the medical student needs. Communication Skills for OSCEs prepares you for the examination setting but, in doing so, also provides the building blocks for good communication skills throughout your career.

Niemand fragt, ob man geboren werden moechte. Hat der Mensch dann immerhin das Recht, frei uber sein Ableben zu entscheiden? Diese Frage bildet den Kern der Diskussion, ob Sterbehilfe verboten bleiben, geduldet oder erlaubt werden sollte. Wahrend Deutschland die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen der Sterbehilfe sehr restriktiv gestaltet, haben insbesondere Belgien und die Niederlande jeweils ein umfassendes Sterbehilfegesetz ausgearbeitet. Um das undurchsichtige Geflecht der deutschen Rechtsordnung aufzuloesen und das medizinische Selbstbestimmungsrecht des Einzelnen zu starken, bietet es sich an, von den Nachbarlandern zu lernen, Vor- und Nachteile abzuwagen und eine ethisch sowie juristisch vertretbare Loesung fur Deutschland zu entwickeln, die insbesondere auch Minderjahrige berucksichtigt.

The cloud model of data sharing has led to a vast increase in the quantity and complexity of data and expanded access to these data, which has attracted many more researchers, enabled multi-national neuroscience collaborations, and facilitated the development of many new tools. Yet, the cloud model has also produced new challenges related to data storage, organization, and protection. Merely switching the technical infrastructure from local repositories to cloud repositories is not enough to optimize data use. To explore the burgeoning use of cloud computing in neuroscience, the National Academies Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders hosted a workshop on September 24, 2019. A broad range of stakeholders involved in cloud-based neuroscience initiatives and research explored the use of cloud technology to advance neuroscience research and shared approaches to address current barriers. This publication summarizes the presentation and discussion of the workshop.

This innovative book concentrates on the important distinction between philosophy of medicine and medical philosophy, by expanding the focus from knowing that of the first term to the knowing how of the latter. Thus, the idea of patient and provider self-discovery becomes integral part, method, and strategy at the basis of therapeutic treatment. Among the most important contributions of this volume, the definition of Central Medicine, overcoming the dichotomy Western-Eastern medicine and Traditional-Integrative approaches, is presented under the lenses of hermeneutics, with particular regards to neurosciences, psychiatry, and psychology. Evidence-Based and Patient-Centred Medicine are analysed within the debate on placebo and non-specific effects. Furthermore, the clinical research presented in the appendix investigates the patient-doctor relationship, and the interactive nature of human relationships in general, including environment, personal beliefs, and perspectives on lifes meaning and purpose. Tomasis research covers neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and medicine. In this book, a wide array of questions and answers pertaining to these areas is presented in a clear, readable, and detailed way, satisfying the needs of professionals, students, and anyone who enjoys the exploration of the complexity of human mind, brain, and heart.
