The word lsquoorthopaediarsquo was devised by a Parisian paediatrician Nicholas Andry who was Professor of Medicine at the University of
Paris and also Senior Dean of the Faculty of Physik In 1741 he published a book entitled lsquoOrthopaedia or The Art of Correcting and
Preventing Deformities in Children By such means that may be easily put into Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children By
such means that may easily be put into practice by parents themselves and all such as are employed in Educating Childrenrsquo In the preface he stated ldquoAs to the title I have formed it of two Greek
words viz Ỏρθος straight and Πάίδον a child Out of the two words I have compounded that of Orthopaedia to express in one term the
design I propose which is to teach the different methods of preventing and correcting the deformities of childrenrdquo His method for correcting excessive curvature of a childrsquos leg was ldquoto apply as soon
as possible a small plate of iron on the hollow side of the leg and fasten it about the leg with a linen roller In a word the same method must be used in this case for recovering the shape of the leg as is
used for making straight the crooked trunk of a young treerdquo

ldquoCervicogenic headache is pain perceived in the head but referred from a primary sourcen in the cervical spine The physiologic basis for this pain is convergence between trigeminal afferents and afferents from the upper three cervical spinal nerves The possible sources of cervicogenic headache lie in the structures innervated by the C1 to C3 spinal nerves and include the upper cervical synovial joints the upper cervical muscles the C2-3 disc the vertebral and internal carotid arteries and the dura mater of the upper spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa Experiments in normal volunteers have established that the cervical muscles and joints can be sources of headacherdquo

Abstract The neuroanatomical basis for cervicogenic headache is convergence in the trigeminocervical nucleus between nociceptive afferents from the field of the trigemenial nerve and the receptive fields of the first three cervical nerves Only structures innervated by C1-C3 have been shown to be capable of causing headache These are the muscles joints and ligaments of the upper three cervical segments but also include the dura mater of the spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa and the vertebral artery

Findings which were buried by the AMA Presented in 1904 confirmed
In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on
Neurology and Neuroscience

lsquo he is the scientistrsquos philosopher because he had advanced natural knowledge himself by skilled observation and experiment by 50 yearsrsquo
unremitting work in the laboratory and because his own interpretation of his discoveries had given a new extension to the biologistrsquos outlook Physiologists will know this well enough To those who have had to struggle with the mass of detailed material about the brain and cord
Sherringtonrsquos Integrative Action of the Nervous System brings order out of chaos it is hard reading at first because every sentence is charged with meaning some of it direct enough but some reaching out to half formed pictures of wider landscape Though it was published in 1906 it
is still as refreshing as it was then It has needed no revision but Sherringtonrsquos experimental work went on at high pressure for another 30
years filling in the gaps and strengthening the framework rsquo

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo
BMJ 1991 (Oct 5)303798ndash9
Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

US District Court judge Susan Getzendanner ruled that the AMA and its officials were guilty as charged of attempting to eliminate the chiropractic profession
The AMA offered a patient care defense however data from Workmens Compensation Bureau studies served to validate chiropractic care Specifically studies comparing chiropractic
care to care by a medical physician were presented which showed that chiropractors were ldquotwice as effective as
medical physicians for comparable injuries in returning injured workers to work at every level of injury severityrdquoEvidence at the trial showed that the defendants took active steps often covert to undermine chiropractic educational
institutions conceal evidence of the usefulness of chiropractic care undercut insurance programs for patients of chiropractors subvert government inquiries into the efficacy of chiropractic engage in a massive disinformation campaign to
discredit and destabilize the chiropractic profession and engage in numerous other activities to maintain a medical

AMA Found Guilty of Conspiracy and Fraud The suit claimed that the defendants had participated for years in an illegal conspiracy to destroy chiropractic On August 24 1987 after endless wrangling in the courts
US District Court judge Susan Getzendanner ruled that the AMA and its officials were guilty as charged of attempting to eliminate the chiropractic profession
The AMA offered a patient care defense however data from Workmens Compensation Bureau studies served to validate chiropractic care Specifically studies comparing chiropractic
care to care by a medical physician were presented which showed that chiropractors were ldquotwice as effective as
medical physicians for comparable injuries in returning injured workers to work at every level of injury severityrdquoEvidence at the trial showed that the defendants took active steps often covert to undermine chiropractic educational
institutions conceal evidence of the usefulness of chiropractic care undercut insurance programs for patients of chiropractors subvert government inquiries into the efficacy of chiropractic engage in a massive disinformation campaign to
discredit and destabilize the chiropractic profession and engage in numerous other activities to maintain a medical
physician monopoly over health care in this country

In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo
BMJ 1991 (Oct 5)303798ndash9
Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

Paris and also Senior Dean of the Faculty of Physik In 1741 he published a book entitled lsquoOrthopaedia or The Art of Correcting and
Preventing Deformities in Children By such means that may be easily put into Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children By
such means that may easily be put into practice by parents themselves and all such as are employed in Educating Childrenrsquo In the preface he stated ldquoAs to the title I have formed it of two Greek
words viz Ỏρθος straight and Πάίδον a child Out of the two words I have compounded that of Orthopaedia to express in one term the
design I propose which is to teach the different methods of preventing and correcting the deformities of childrenrdquo His method for correcting excessive curvature of a childrsquos leg was ldquoto apply as soon
as possible a small plate of iron on the hollow side of the leg and fasten it about the leg with a linen roller In a word the same method must be used in this case for recovering the shape of the leg as is

The word lsquoorthopaediarsquo was devised by a Parisian paediatrician Nicholas Andry who was Professor of Medicine at the University of
Paris and also Senior Dean of the Faculty of Physik In 1741 he published a book entitled lsquoOrthopaedia or The Art of Correcting and
Preventing Deformities in Children By such means that may be easily put into Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children By
such means that may easily be put into practice by parents themselves and all such as are employed in Educating Childrenrsquo In the preface he stated ldquoAs to the title I have formed it of two Greek
words viz Ỏρθος straight and Πάίδον a child Out of the two words I have compounded that of Orthopaedia to express in one term the
design I propose which is to teach the different methods of preventing and correcting the deformities of childrenrdquo His method for correcting excessive curvature of a childrsquos leg was ldquoto apply as soon
as possible a small plate of iron on the hollow side of the leg and fasten it about the leg with a linen roller In a word the same method must be used in this case for recovering the shape of the leg as is

RICHARD SMITH Ed BMJ
Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo
BMJ 1991 (Oct 5)303798ndash9
Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo
BMJ 1991 (Oct 5)303798ndash9
Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Preventing Deformities in Children By such means that may be easily put into Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children By
such means that may easily be put into practice by parents themselves and all such as are employed in Educating Childrenrsquo In the preface he stated ldquoAs to the title I have formed it of two Greek
words viz Ỏρθος straight and Πάίδον a child Out of the two words I have compounded that of Orthopaedia to express in one term the
design I propose which is to teach the different methods of preventing and correcting the deformities of childrenrdquo His method for correcting excessive curvature of a childrsquos leg was ldquoto apply as soon
as possible a small plate of iron on the hollow side of the leg and fasten it about the leg with a linen roller In a word the same method must be used in this case for recovering the shape of the leg as is

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

The word lsquoorthopaediarsquo was devised by a Parisian paediatrician Nicholas Andry who was Professor of Medicine at the University of
Paris and also Senior Dean of the Faculty of Physik In 1741 he published a book entitled lsquoOrthopaedia or The Art of Correcting and
Preventing Deformities in Children By such means that may be easily put into Correcting and Preventing Deformities in Children By
such means that may easily be put into practice by parents themselves and all such as are employed in Educating Childrenrsquo In the preface he stated ldquoAs to the title I have formed it of two Greek
words viz Ỏρθος straight and Πάίδον a child Out of the two words I have compounded that of Orthopaedia to express in one term the
design I propose which is to teach the different methods of preventing and correcting the deformities of childrenrdquo His method for correcting excessive curvature of a childrsquos leg was ldquoto apply as soon
as possible a small plate of iron on the hollow side of the leg and fasten it about the leg with a linen roller In a word the same method must be used in this case for recovering the shape of the leg as is
used for making straight the crooked trunk of a young treerdquo

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Findings which were buried by the AMA Presented in 1904 confirmed
In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on
Neurology and Neuroscience

Sherringtonrsquos Integrative Action of the Nervous System brings order out of chaos it is hard reading at first because every sentence is charged with meaning some of it direct enough but some reaching out to half formed pictures of wider landscape Though it was published in 1906 it

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo
BMJ 1991 (Oct 5)303798ndash9
Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Abstract The neuroanatomical basis for cervicogenic headache is convergence in the trigeminocervical nucleus between nociceptive afferents from the field of the trigemenial nerve and the receptive fields of the first three cervical nerves Only structures innervated by C1-C3 have been shown to be capable of causing headache These are the muscles joints and ligaments of the upper three cervical segments but also include the dura mater of the spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa and the vertebral artery

Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central

1967 Chester Wilk
AMA Found Guilty of Conspiracy and Fraud The suit claimed that the defendants had participated for years in an illegal conspiracy to destroy chiropractic On August 24 1987 after endless wrangling in the courts
US District Court judge Susan Getzendanner ruled that the AMA and its officials were guilty as charged of attempting to eliminate the chiropractic profession
The AMA offered a patient care defense however data from Workmens Compensation Bureau studies served to validate chiropractic care Specifically studies comparing chiropractic
care to care by a medical physician were presented which showed that chiropractors were ldquotwice as effective as
medical physicians for comparable injuries in returning injured workers to work at every level of injury severityrdquoEvidence at the trial showed that the defendants took active steps often covert to undermine chiropractic educational
institutions conceal evidence of the usefulness of chiropractic care undercut insurance programs for patients of chiropractors subvert government inquiries into the efficacy of chiropractic engage in a massive disinformation campaign to
discredit and destabilize the chiropractic profession and engage in numerous other activities to maintain a medical
physician monopoly over health care in this country

Abstract The neuroanatomical basis for cervicogenic headache is convergence in the trigeminocervical nucleus between nociceptive afferents from the field of the trigemenial nerve and the receptive fields of the first three cervical nerves Only structures innervated by C1-C3 have been shown to be capable of causing headache These are the muscles joints and ligaments of the upper three cervical segments but also include the dura mater of the spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa and the vertebral artery

In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Editorials The scandal of poor medical research
bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

Findings which were buried by the AMA Presented in 1904 confirmed
In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

bull We need less research better research and research done for the right reasons
bull What should we think about a doctor who uses the wrong treatment either willfully or through ignorance or who uses the right treatment wrongly (such as by giving the wrong dose of a drug) Most people would agree that such behavior was unprofessional arguably unethical and certainly unacceptable
bull What then should we think about researchers who use the wrong techniques (either willfully or in ignorance) use the right techniques wrongly misinterpret their results report their results selectively cite the literature selectively and draw unjustified conclusions We should be appalled Yet numerous studies of the medical literature in both general and specialist journals have shown that all of the above phenomena are common This is surely a scandal

ldquoCervicogenic headache is pain perceived in the head but referred from a primary sourcen in the cervical spine The physiologic basis for this pain is convergence between trigeminal afferents and afferents from the upper three cervical spinal nerves The possible sources of cervicogenic headache lie in the structures innervated by the C1 to C3 spinal nerves and include the upper cervical synovial joints the upper cervical muscles the C2-3 disc the vertebral and internal carotid arteries and the dura mater of the upper spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa Experiments in normal volunteers have established that the cervical muscles and joints can be sources of headacherdquo

Abstract The neuroanatomical basis for cervicogenic headache is convergence in the trigeminocervical nucleus between nociceptive afferents from the field of the trigemenial nerve and the receptive fields of the first three cervical nerves Only structures innervated by C1-C3 have been shown to be capable of causing headache These are the muscles joints and ligaments of the upper three cervical segments but also include the dura mater of the spinal cord and posterior cranial fossa and the vertebral artery

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

Where is the Wisdom The Poverty of Medical Evidence
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge and where asked T S Eliot is the knowledge we have lost in information There are perhaps 30000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 a year since the seventeenth century [1 2] Yet only about 15 of medical interventions are supported by solid scientific evidence David Eddy professor of health policy and management at Duke University North Carolina told a conference in Manchester last week
This is partly because only 1 of the articles in medical journals are scientifically sound [2 3] and partly because many treatments have never been assessed at all If said Professor Eddy it is true as the total quality management gurus tell us that lsquoevery defect is a treasurersquo then we are sitting on King Solomons mineldquo

2004 Sherrington Centenary Appreciation Noble Prize winning
Findings which were buried by the AMA Presented in 1904 confirmed
In 1906 Sir Charles Sherrington published The Integrative Action of the Nervous System which was a collection of ten lectures delivered two years before at Yale University in the United States In this monograph
Sherrington summarized two decades of painstaking experimental observations and his incisive interpretation of them It settled the then-
current debate between the lsquolsquoReticular Theoryrsquorsquo versus lsquolsquoNeuron Doctrinersquorsquo ideas about the fundamental nature of the nervous system in mammals in favor of the latter and it changed forever the way in which subsequent generations have viewed the organization of the central
nervous system Sherringtonrsquos magnum opus contains basic concepts and even terminology that are now second nature to every student of the subject This brief article reviews the historical context in which the book was written summarizes its content and considers its impact on
Neurology and Neuroscience
2004 Sherrington Centenary Appreciation Noble Prize winning
Findings which were buried by the AMA Presented in 1904 confirmed
lsquo he is the scientistrsquos philosopher because he had advanced natural knowledge himself by skilled observation and experiment by 50 yearsrsquo
unremitting work in the laboratory and because his own interpretation of his discoveries had given a new extension to the biologistrsquos outlook Physiologists will know this well enough To those who have had to struggle with the mass of detailed material about the brain and cord
Sherringtonrsquos Integrative Action of the Nervous System brings order out of chaos it is hard reading at first because every sentence is charged with meaning some of it direct enough but some reaching out to half formed pictures of wider landscape Though it was published in 1906 it
is still as refreshing as it was then It has needed no revision but Sherringtonrsquos experimental work went on at high pressure for another 30
years filling in the gaps and strengthening the framework rsquo
