Up to now around 170 different homeobox genes have been cloned from vertebrate genomes. A compilation of the various isolates from mouse, chick, frog, fish and man is presented in the form of a concise checklist, including the designations from the original publications. Putative homologs from different species are aligned, and key characteristics of embryonic or adult expression domains, as we...

www.ums.ac.uk go next? I think for the next edition the audience probably needs to be defined. Increasingly generalists and specialists are looking online so a web version might encourage the new web-savvy breed of trainees in all disciplines to take a look. There are weaknesses in the 7th edition in areas outside Harper’s personal interests. The chapter on cancer genetics doesn’t contain much ...

Analogous to checklists of recommendations such as the CONSORT statement (for randomized trials), or the QUORUM statement (for systematic reviews), which are designed to ensure the quality of reports in the medical literature, a checklist of recommendations for authors is being presented by the Journal of Medical Internet Research (JMIR) in an effort to ensure complete descriptions of Web-based...

Introduction Pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia (PHEA) is a high-risk activity. Recent guidelines suggest that providers consider using pre-procedure checklists [1]. We applied the principles of checklist development and design to our PHEA practice, developed a pre-anaesthetic checklist and introduced it to our service. Methods An expert group of physicians and paramedics within our service con...

Although the use of reporting guidelines has been demonstrated to increase the completeness and transparency of health research published in journals, there is still a long way to translate their use to the authors at the time where they are needed - during the actual research process and manuscript writing. An online tool for writing methodology section of a randomized controlled trial has bee...

The concept of using a checklist in surgical and anaesthetic practice was energized by publication of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in 2008. It was believed that by routinely checking common safety issues, and by better team communication and dynamics, perioperative morbidity and mortality could be improved. The magnitude of improvement demonstrated by the WHO pilot studies was surprising. ...

The goals of our study were to (a) compare agreement between autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and outcome of the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers and Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status in a sample of toddlers and (b) examine specific concerns noted for toddlers who screened negative on the Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers or Parents Evaluation of Developmental Status...

OBJECTIVE Bipolar disorders are often not recognized and undertreated. The diagnosis of current or past episodes of hypomania is of importance in order to increase diagnostic certainty. The Hypomania Checklist-32 is a self-applied questionnaire aimed at recognizing these episodes. As part of the international collaborative effort to develop multi-lingual versions of the Hypomania Checklist-32, ...
