54Evaluating ethics consultation: randomised controlled trial is not the right toolJournal of Medical Ethics 34 (8): 594-597. 2008.Background: Although ethics consultation has been introduced to clinical practice for many years, the results of empirical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of ethics consultation are still controversial. The design of randomised controlled trials is considered the best research design to evaluate the effect of a clinical practice on the outcomes of interests. In order to understand the effects of ethics consultation, we conducted this search for studies with the design of randomised control…Read more

50Medical Tourism's Impact on Health Care Equity and Access in Low‐ and Middle‐Income Countries: Making the Case for RegulationJournal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 41 (1): 286-300. 2013.There is currently an evidentiary gap in the scholarship concerning medical tourism's impact on low- and middle-income destination countries (LMICs). This article reviews relevant evidence that exists and concludes that there are signs of correlation between medical tourism and the expansion of private, technology- intensive health care in LMICs, which has largely remained out of reach for the majority of the local patients. In light of this health care inequity between local residents and medic…Read more

37Medical Tourism's Impact on Health Care Equity and Access in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Making the Case for RegulationJournal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 41 (1): 286-300. 2013.Travelling internationally to acquire medical treatments otherwise unavailable or inaccessible in one’s home country is not a novel concept. Conventionally, such medical travel largely entailed patients from developed countries or wealthy patients from the developing world seeking care in Western facilities like the Mayo Clinic in the U.S. and myriad private clinics along Harley Street in London, England. What is different about the topical phenomenon known as “medical tourism” is the growing tr…Read more

46"Allow natural death" is not equivalent to "do not resuscitate": a responseJournal of Medical Ethics 34 (12): 887-888. 2008.Venneman and colleagues argue that “do not resuscitate” (DNR) is problematic and should be replaced by “allow natural death” (AND). Their argument is flawed. First, while end-of-life discussions should be as positive as possible, they cannot and should not sidestep painful but necessary confrontations with morality. Second, while DNR can indeed be nonspecific and confusing, AND merely replaces one problematic term with another. Finally, the study’s results are not generalisable to the population…Read more

27Annealing effects on the microstructure of sputtered gold layers on oxidized silicon investigated by scanning electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopyPhilosophical Magazine 83 (9): 1137-1142. 2003.The structure of Au layers deposited by sputtering on oxidized p-type Si substrates is investigated by a combination of scanning electron microscopy and scanning probe microscopy. The effect of the temperature on the grain structure of the layers has been determined, revealing that an annealing temperature of 300° C results in a larger grain size and smoother surfaces but generates some cracks in the film surface. At an annealing temperature of 500° C, further grain growth is observed, but a hig…Read more

1© 2015 American Physical Society.The level of electronic correlation has been one of the key questions in understanding the nature of superconductivity. Among the iron-based superconductors, the iron chalcogenide family exhibits the strongest electron correlations. To gauge the correlation strength, we performed a systematic angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study on the iron chalcogenide series Fe1+ySexTe1-x, a model system with the simplest structure. Our measurement reveals an incoher…Read more

1We present ultrahigh resolution angle-resolved photoemission data of the prototypical Kondo lattice system YbRh 2Si 2, using a 7 eV laser photon source. Detailed temperature dependent measurements reveal the development of coherent states, in the form of sharp, weakly dispersing peaks at the lowest energy of single-electron spectra, below a characteristic temperature. The characteristic temperature, obtained from angle-resolved photoemission, is intriguingly of exactly the same scale as the ener…Read more

3Information about regional carbon sources and sinks can be derived from variations in observed atmospheric CO2 concentrations via inverse modelling with atmospheric tracer transport models. A consensus has not yet been reached regarding the size and distribution of regional carbon fluxes obtained using this approach, partly owing to the use of several different atmospheric transport models. Here we report estimates of surface-atmosphere CO2 fluxes from an intercomparison of atmospheric CO2 inver…Read more
