This Week at NEJM.org | August 26, 2010


NEJM = The New England Journal of Medicine





Listen to the Weekly Audio Summary :
http://www.nejm.org/action/showIssueAudio?a=nejm_2010.363.issue-9.summary.mp3&query=TOC

De allra flesta artiklarna är "Free Full text", några kräver dock prenumeration och bara en "introduktion" (= artikelns hundra första ord) är gratis.
För egen del har NEJM:s artiklar blivit ett förnämligt studiematerial till min livslånga fortsättningskurs i engelska. Om bara en liten del av det medicinska innehållet  fastnat som det ska i mitt gamla huvud, så förbättras iaf min engelska. Det finns också medicinska ordlistor på nätet varför det bör inte vara problem med praktiskt taget en enda glosa.
Det är mao inte bortkastad tid att hänge sig åt en eller annan NEJM-artikel; jag garanterar detta. Denna gång har "min" artikel blivit (förutom som alltid bilder/bildtexter i de andra artiklarna) "Global Health: Can We Treat Cancer for a Dollar a Day?...", en högintressant artikel inte bara ur språksynpunkt (rekommenderas). Se, om inte annat,  artikelns inledande rader om cancerns omfattning.

Corrections
Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain:
Acupuncture for Chronic Low Back Pain Clinical Therapeutics, N Engl J Med 2010:363;454 - 461 . The middle initial of the second author (page 454) was incorrect as published; the correct name is Helene M. Langevin. The article has been corrected at NEJM.org.

A Randomized Trial of Treatment for Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears:
A Randomized Trial of Treatment for Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears Original Article, N Engl J Med 2010:363;331 - 342 . In Figure 1 (page 335), the last line in the box just below “69 Were assigned to undergo rehabilitation and early ACL reconstruction” should have read, “1 Had intact ACL,” rather than “2 Had intact ACL.” We regret the error. The article has been corrected at NEJM.org.

Early-Stage Hodgkin’s Lymphoma:
 Early-Stage Hodgkin's Lymphoma Review Article, N Engl J Med 2010:363;653 - 662 . In the print edition of the Journal, there were a number of instances of “therapy” that should have been “radiotherapy.” We regret the error. The article was corrected before publication at NEJM.org; subscribers to the print edition of the Journal will receive a corrected reprint.
