  • Should Rapid Tests for Hiv Infection Now Be Mandatory During Pregnancy? Global Differences in Scarcity and a Dilemma of Technological Advance

    Open AccessCHARLES B SMITH, Margaret P Battin et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2007

    Since testing for HIV infection became possible in 1985, testing of pregnant women has been conducted primarily on a voluntary, ‘opt‐in’ basis. Faden, Geller and Powers, Bayer, Wilfert, and McKenna, among others, have suggested that with the development of more reliable testing and more effective therapy to reduce maternal‐fetal transmission, testing should become either routine with ‘opt‐out’ provisions or mandatory. We ask, in the light of the …

  • Are there Characteristics of Infectious Diseases that Raise Special Ethical Issues? 1

    Open AccessCHARLES B SMITH, Margaret P Battin et al.ARTICLEDeveloping World Bioethics2004

    This paper examines the characteristics of infectious diseases that raise special medical and social ethical issues, and explores ways of integrating both current bioethical and classical public health ethics concerns. Many of the ethical issues raised by infectious diseases are related to these diseases’ powerful ability to engender fear in individuals and panic in populations. We address the association of some infectious diseases with high mor…

  • Platelet alpha2-Adrenoreceptors, Catecholamines, Hemodynamic Variables, and Anxiety in Panic Patients and Their Asymptomatic Relatives

    Oliver G Cameron, CHARLES B SMITH et al.ARTICLEPsychosomatic Medicine1996

    The objectives of this study were to a) replicate our prior finding of a decreased number (Bmax) of platelet alpha 2-adrenoreceptors in panic disorder, b) determine if binding is also decreased in asymptomatic first-degree relatives of panic patients (known to be at increased risk for developing panic), and c) evaluate the effect of treatment on the presumptive decrease in binding (i.e., is the decrease a state or a trait marker for panic?). Pani…

  • Overutilization of Acute-Care Beds in Veterans Affairs Hospitals

    CHARLES B SMITH, Ronald L Goldman et al.ARTICLEMedical Care1996Referencias: 8

    The authors tested the hypothesis that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals would have substantial overutilization of acute care beds and services because of policies that emphasize inpatient care over ambulatory care. Reviewers from 24 randomly selected VA hospitals applied the InterQual ISD* (Intensity, Severity, Discharge) criteria for appropriateness concurrently to a random sample of 2,432 admissions to acute medical, surgical, …
