A biomedical engineer's library.

Abstract

A survey resulted in a list of the 101 textbooks used by 62 biomedical engineering educational programs. A second list shows the textbooks used by each school. A third list shows the 27 textbooks used at two or more schools and the number of times each is used. This selected compilation should be useful to (a) biomedical engineering curriculum committees considering program revision, (b) teachers considering course revision, (c) university and industrial librarians updating their collections, (d) individuals building a personal library, and (e) students desiring information about the emphasis of various educational programs.

[Adverse drug reactions in the Spanish medical bibliographic literature: a comparison of 3 periods].

BACKGROUND: A quantitative and qualitative assessment of reports on suspected adverse drug reactions (ARD) in Spanish medical literature was carried out. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The periods analysed were 1972-1974, 1986-1988 and 1992-1994, and the medical journals were Anales de Medicina Interna, Medicina Clínica and Revista Clínica Española. We selected all articles including specific information on suspect ADR. RESULTS: The percentage of articles has increased considerably (1972-1974: 2.1%, 1986-1988: 5.7%, and 1992-1994: 8.2%). In spite of this growth, the qualitative data studied have not significantly improved. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to device some mechanism in order to improve ADR reporting.
