Original post:
Hyderabad, June 3 (IANS) Uncertainty looms over the annual distribution of fish 'prasadam' (medicine) for asthma patients here as the Andhra Pradesh Lokayukta Monday observed that the state government should not extend any help to the event.
It said since the fish medicine's scientific value was yet to be proved and it was being administered by private people, the government should not make any arrangements for it.
The Lokayukta also directed Hyderabad police commissioner and Exhibition Society secretary to appear before it Tuesday.
The ombudsman reserved its orders on a plea filed by Andhra Pradesh Balala Hakkula Sanghham, a body fighting for children's rights.
Achyuta Rao, president of the Sangham, told IANS that the orders would be pronounced Tuesday.
The petitioner questioned the government's action in making all arrangements for the gathering of people like supply of fish, security arrangements, water, sanitation and other facilities.
Lokayukta Justice B. Subhashan Reddy observed that the state government's action in permitting such a conglomeration and allotting public property not for any public purpose comes within the ambit of "maladministration" - an aspect triable under the Lokayukta Act 1983.
The Goud family of Hyderabad has already announced that it would distribute the fish medicine at Exhibition Grounds June 8 and 9.
Various departments submitted their reports to Lokayukta. Ranga Reddy district collector, in his report, informed that five acres of government land allotted to the family would be taken back.
The land was allotted a few years ago at Katedan on the city outskirts for the family to grow the herbs, whose paste is stuffed in the mouth of a 'murrel' fingerling before it is slipped through the patient's throat.

The University of Kentucky College of Medicine is reviewing a series of recommendations made by the Lexington chapter of the NAACP to improve recruitment and retention of black and Hispanic students.
Among other things, the college should hire an independent evaluator to monitor student progress and create better diversity training for employees, the NAACP said in a May 24 letter that came after a meeting in late April between UK officials and the NAACP.
The meeting "resulted in an ongoing partnership and open lines of communication between the Lexington-Fayette County NAACP and the College of Medicine to address the challenges and goal of increasing African American and Hispanic medical professionals," Shambra Mulder, the education chairwoman of the NAACP, said in an email last week to the involved parties.
The college is still reviewing the recommendations, said UK spokesman Jay Blanton.
"We are very appreciative of the dialogue with the NAACP on these critically important matters and everyone involved pledged to continue those discussions going forward," he said. "We are very committed as an institution and a College of Medicine to that process."
Questions about diversity within the college were initially raised last year by Lachin Hatemi, a 2009 graduate of the college, who claimed that UK had forced minority students out of the College of Medicine.
UK and the NAACP still disagree over the percentage of minority students at the college in the past decade; the NAACP says it is between 1 and 3 percent, while UK says it is between 3 and 5 percent. This past year, UK officials said, there were six black students out of 118, a rate of 5 percent.
In the letter, NAACP chapter president James Thurman said UK officials told the NAACP that minority recruitment is hampered by lower scores on medical school entrance exams known as MCATs, and by a lack of financial assistance that other schools can offer students.
The NAACP recommended that UK improve MCAT preparation strategies for existing recruitment programs and find more funding to increase minority recruitment. The group also recommended an outside evaluator to monitor minority students' concerns and progress, and so those students can report concerns without fear of retaliation.
The letter also speaks of the NAACP's concern about the lack of racial diversity in the faculty and staff of the College of Medicine, and the fact that sensitivity training in only done online.

SEATTLE, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Seattle office of global architecture and design firm Perkins+Will adds to its work on the University of Washington's (UW) School of Medicine with the completion of phase 3.1. The newest phase of the project was designed to complement adjacent phases one and two in the UW complex, integrating an 183,000 square foot research facility of laboratories and offices that will house more than 400 employees.
"We designed Phases one, two, and three to enhance the vision of the University of Washington's School of Medicine, by creating spaces that encourage productivity, collaboration and inspiration," said Anthony Gianopoulos, AIA, LEED AP BD+C, Managing Principal of Perkins+Will. "We wanted to strengthen the connectivity of UW students with the scientific community in South Lake Union and the greater Seattle area."
From the outside, the most striking feature of the project is the undulating glass curtain wall, designed to create visual interest and tie the current phase to the next one which will have a similar curtain wall facing a shared courtyard. As expected from Perkins+Will the project also includes sustainable features, including a cistern to capture and store rainwater to irrigate plants in the open plaza. The plants themselves will aid natural cooling systems with shady vegetation. Additionally, the building's energy-efficient design includes: high-efficiency boilers, a heat recovery chiller, exhaust air energy recovery and improved lighting controls.
The new state-of-the-art medical research campus is intended to attract and retain skilled professionals in the South Lake Union hub. Phase 3.1 deploys advanced medical equipment and houses modern facilities, arming researchers with the tools necessary to address critical health issues, including specific targeted practices in: Immunology, Rheumatology, Kidney Research, Emerging and Reemerging Infectious Diseases, and Vision Sciences.
"Collaboration is key at UW Medicine and the design team really listened to the faculty as they described what they felt would be optimal for collaboration. Everything from the labs to the office space, to the community/public space was designed to encourage team-work and collaboration," said Dr. John Slattery, Vice Dean for Research and Graduate Education.
The Perkins+Will team included Anthony Gianopoulos, Managing Principal/PM; Tully Shelley and Raymond Beets, Lab Planning Principals, Doug Streeter, Design Principal, Andy Clinch, Project Designer; Larry Leland and Carsten Stinn, Project Architects; and staff members Erin Fuji, Kelly Schnell, Alex Clinton, Dianna Choi, Megan Magraw, Danielle Doeringsfeld, Kathryn Martenson, and Sara Robinson.
There are two more buildings in store for the UW School of Medicine in South Lake Union, (including phases 3.2 and 3.3) totaling about 359,000 square feet could be built later on the same block, bringing the entire UW Medicine South Lake Union campus to 900,000 square feet.
Since its inception in 2004, Perkins+Will's 50-person Seattle office has collaborated with many of the region's premier public and private clients on projects that have accommodated a wide range of programmatic and design aspirations. The Seattle office has been the recipient of multiple awards for design excellence, most recently the 2013 AIA Civic Design Honor Award for the modernization of the Husky Union Building at the University of Washington.

Family Medicine Wins or Loses?
On the day before graduation at the University of Nevada School of Medicine, where I am Chairman of the Department of Family and Community Medicine, the school recognizes students who have performed well during an awards ceremony. The ceremony also offers an opportunity for students from both our Reno and Las Vegas campuses to recognize the faculty mentors who were important to them during their training through individual and departmental awards.
This year, I was honored to receive the Tow Humanism award and the Clinical Faculty Teacher of the Year award for Reno, while Kate Martin, M.D., assistant professor in family and community medicine, won the clinical teaching award for Las Vegas. Amanda Magrini, M.D., the chief resident in our family medicine residency, received the Resident Teacher of the Year award.
Not one clinical award was presented to a department other than family medicine, which also won Clinical Department of the Year awards for both Reno and Las Vegas.
You might think with this level of recognition that our family medicine program would be well on its way to recruiting more students into our specialty.
Not so fast. Only five of our 64 graduates this year chose family medicine.
Our country has recognized the need for more physicians -- specifically, primary care physicians -- and our medical schools have responded by increasing enrollments. In 2009, there were 15,638 U.S. medical school graduates who participated in the National Resident Matching Program. This year, that number increased by nearly 2,000 to 17,487, an increase of almost 12 percent.
Meanwhile, family medicine residency training programs increased the number of available slots by almost 300 (from 2,764 in 2012 to 3,062 in 2013). The number of U.S. graduates going into family medicinealso increased compared with last year's figure, but only by 39.
That slight increase in U.S. graduates filling family medicine positions combined with the much larger increase in the number of U.S. graduates overall means that the percentage of U.S. graduates choosing family medicine actually went down, from 48.4 percent in 2012 to 44.9 percent in 2013.
The bottom line is that we have a need for more family physicians, and we have more available students to match to family medicine. And yet, a lower percentage of U.S. graduates are choosing our specialty.

PHILADELPHIA, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Auerbach adds chapters on global humanitarian relief, disaster medicine and wilderness sustainability
Elsevier, a world-leading provider of scientific, technical and medical information products and services, today announced that Paul S. Auerbach, MD, one of the world's leading authorities on wilderness medicine, has teamed up with Benjamin Constance, MD, and Luanne Freer, MD, to release a new edition of the Field Guide to Wilderness Medicine (4th ed., Elsevier 2013).
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130604/618491 )
Based on Auerbach's critically acclaimed text Wilderness Medicine (6th ed., Elsevier 2012), the Field Guide provides fast-access solutions and practical advice for medical situations that can occur in non-traditional settings. A portable paperback, the Field Guide is written for the medical community but is understandable to many lay readers.
Among the new chapters in this fourth edition is one about global humanitarian relief and disaster medicine. The chapter discusses the challenges of clinical practice and safety in these situations, offering guidance on how to approach a terrorist attack, natural disasters, and hostage situations.
Readers will also find a new chapter on sustainable practices to follow when in the wilderness. As an avid outdoorsman whose recent activities include an expedition in Nepal to visit the Everest ER medical clinic at a base camp created by Dr. Freer, Auerbach is committed to maintaining the wilderness regions of the world. In this chapter, he reviews "Leave No Trace" principles and advises the best ways to safely and sustainably enjoy the outdoors.
"I hope that you take the time to better understand the challenges imposed by humans upon our planet," writes Auerbach in the preface. "To preserve the wilderness, we each must fulfill our responsibilities to understand global environmental science and be proactive in preserving the landscape."
Other chapters cover topics such as high-altitude medicine, foot problems and survival kit suggestions for various settings and patient populations. Complete with line drawings and color plates, this invaluable compact guide can be tucked away in a kayak or backpack or accessed on a mobile device, ready to be consulted in the event of a wilderness medical emergency.
Auerbach is the Redlich Family Professor of Surgery in the Division of Emergency Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine, and a true founder of the medical specialty of Wilderness Medicine. He is also author of Medicine for the Outdoors (5th ed., Elsevier, 2009).
