Towards personal health record: current situation, obstacles and trends in implementation of electronic healthcare record in Europe.

In this article, we define the electronic healthcare record and present its purpose as a tool for continuity of care. We briefly describe the current situation of usage and focus on the major challenges to wide implementation in Europe and beyond. Finally, we point out trends that show stronger involvement of the patients-citizens in the health care prevention and promotion processes, and discuss the impact on the future development of the electronic healthcare record into personal health records.

Parasite systematics in the 21st century: opportunities and obstacles.

Taxonomic names and phylogenetic hypotheses are indispensable tools for modern biological research, both basic and applied. Like all disciplines, parasitology suffers from the 'taxonomic impediment' - a global shortage of professional taxonomists and systematists. Only a fraction of the species of parasites on this planet have been identified, and the evolutionary relationships of only a minority of those are understood; thus, information on how to manage parasite biodiversity, including known and potential disease agents, is incomplete. A renewal of systematic parasitology has a key role in redefining the relationship between mankind and the organisms whose biology fascinates us so much.

The stubborn logic of regular gamblers: obstacles and dilemmas in cognitive gambling research.

Cognitive studies into gambling behaviour have shown that many gamblers misinterpret the odds of gambling activities, hold false beliefs about skill and luck, and over-estimate their subjective chances of success. Accordingly, providing accurate information about gambling in venues, or on slot-machines, would appear to be a sensible way to enhance the 'safety' of gambling products. Unfortunately, such ideas for educating gamblers may be difficult to implement in practice because of limitations and conceptual dilemmas in the cognitive literature. Irrational beliefs about gambling may be difficult to falsify, are often highly idiosyncratic and context-bound, and may stem more from the selective misuse of information than from a lack of knowledge about gambling activities. Drawing evidence from recent research into gambling-related cognitions, this paper examines the key elements of irrational-belief systems, and how this work might usefully inform the design of future consumer information initiatives.
