Current Situation of the Application of Reporting Guidelines on Medical Research Reports in Biomedical Journals

December 2017

DOI:10.3969/j.issn.1007-9572.2017.36.025

Authors:

As one of the main achievements, the medical research report has a high value in medical research.However, the quality of medical research reports is still far from satisfactory at home and abroad.The low-quality research report can not only affect readers' assessment of its strengths and weaknesses but also even mislead clinical decisions based on its evidence.This paper summarized the development history and characteristic contents of several important reporting guidelines on medical research reports, their application in biomedical journals, and their influence on improving the quality of research reports in order to provide reference for the application of reporting guidelines on medical research reports in biomedical journals.

Statistical Methods for Clinical Studies in the Presence of Surrogate End Points

February 2001 · Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A (Statistics in Society)

Denis H. Y. Leung

The use of surrogate end points has become increasingly common in medical and biological research. This is primarily because, in many studies, the primary end point of interest is too expensive or too difficult to obtain. There is now a large volume of statistical methods for analysing studies with surrogate end point data. However, to our knowledge, there has not been a comprehensive review of ... [Show full abstract] these methods to date. This paper reviews some existing methods and summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each method. It also discusses the assumptions that are made by each method and critiques how likely these assumptions are met in practice.

Paediatric perioperative anaesthesia environment

July 2000 · Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology

Claude Ecoffey

This paper reviews the primary guidelines for management of the paediatric perioperative anaesthesia environment. The role of environment is defined in the different preventive strategies to improve quality of paediatric anaesthesia (i.e. decrease in perioperative complications due to anaesthesia). Recommendations for patient care facilities, patient care units and postoperative intensive care ... [Show full abstract] are summarized.

Why Certain Gifts Are Great to Give but Not to Get: A Framework for Understanding Errors in Gift Giv...

December 2016 · Current Directions in Psychological Science

We propose that many giver-recipient discrepancies in the gift-giving literature can be explained, at least partially, by the notion that when evaluating the quality of a gift, givers primarily focus on the moment of exchange, whereas recipients primarily focus on how valuable a gift will be once owned. In this review, we summarize the variety of errors givers make and, more critically, position ... [Show full abstract] these errors within our newly developed framework. We hope this framework will provide a single point of reference for those interested in gift giving and spur novel predictions about the causes and consequences of miscalibrated gift choice.

The influence of geomembrane surface roughness on interface strength

January 1997

This paper summarizes the results of a study using the recently developed optical profile microscopy (OPM) technique as the basis for examining relationships between a quantitative surface roughness parameter and shear strengths of granular soil/geomembrane interfaces. The results show that interface friction is highly dependent on small increases in roughness for relatively smooth surfaces and ... [Show full abstract] that the beneficial effect of surface roughness becomes incrementally smaller as roughness increases. Practical applications of this work include: (1) development of correlations between surface roughness and interface shear strength using the surface roughness parameter, and (2) implementation of guidelines for optimal degree of geomembrane texturing and manufacturing quality control.

Lighting quality with LEDs

January 2014 · Light and Engineering

Martine Knoop

CIE Technical Committee 3-50 Lighting Quality Measures for Interior Lighting with LED Lighting Systems looked into available research results that underlines the suitability or discard the applicability of existing measures to evaluate lighting quality of interior lighting with LED lighting systems. The work has been summarized in the CIE report 205:2013 "Review of lighting quality measures for ... [Show full abstract] interior lighting with LED lighting systems". The document gives recommendations in the use of quality measures for LED lighting solutions, including background information, research results and literature references, as well as an indication of the relevant parameters to look into. To that, it gives an indication of needed research to ensure quality lighting in all situations with LED systems. This paper will focus on two reviewed quality criteria. A summary of the conclusions by CIE TC 3-50 as well as recent research activities with respect to these quality metrics are presented.

Souvenir Session

January 1985

In this session we summarize the progress, as reported by participants of this meeting, on problems posed at the 1981 meeting in Banff. Because some presenters were reporting on others’ contributions, and since it seems impractical to repeat the background information published in the 1981 proceedings, we depart from the style of the other eight sessions and compress the information, presenting ...
