Nowadays, many researches in the field of medicine are conducting all around the world and medical journalism is a way to share the results. In fact, dissemination of the related manuscripts can prevent the repetitive research or may even lead to conducting a better survey. Therefore high quality medical journals are considered as up-to-date resources for further investigations. Medical journals are propagating their papers in various media including television programs, newspapers, internet websites and different social media. So they can influence the government policy makers, health-care professionals and even public. Moreover, most researchers hear about medical discoveries for the first time through medical journals and their related social media. So as well a high quality journal can help to improve medical science, a journal of poor quality can be damaging and distorting. Indeed, popular journals have the power of inventing a "communication storm" to draw attention to a certain topic. Thus they have to respect the accepted international principles to prevent spreading inaccurate and misleading data. This paper aims to review the previous and current situation of medical journalism by focus on field of emergency medicine.

Written by the world's leading innovators in the development of medical emergency teams, this book provides the necessary framework for healthcare professionals and administrators who want to incorporate this concept into their own patient safety and quality improvement programs. Topics covered include controversies and challenges in patient safety, description of various MET models, guidelines for implementing a successful program, and instruction on how to measure outcomes

The following circular letter was sent by the ICRC and League chief medical officers to all the National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies with a view to rationalizing consignments of medicaments and medical material for emercency medical actions. The circular letter contains practical advice and precise rules to be observed when selecting and packaging emergency relief medicaments.The success of emergency action in cases of natural disaster or armed conflict depends of the degree of preparedness of personnel and material: it is not necessarily proportional to the number of volunteers or the volume of relief supplies hastily dispatched.

Emergency nursing is an essential, integral and indispensable part of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The development of various specialties and super specialties in clinical areas including emergency medicine requires skilled and competent nurses. Above all, these nurses must be able to initiate resuscitative measures for emergency victims to save lives. Considering the magnitude of emergency care service needs in India and in line with the Government of India's Plan there is a need for developing the capabilities at all levels to provide effective and efficient care to all emergency victims. This chapter titled "Emergency Nursing - An essential requisite of Emergency Medical Service (EMS)" highlights the education and training needs for nurses in order to keep pace with the advancement in medical science and technology in providing patient care. According to the Government of India's plan, special committees are set up to improve the emergency healthcare service. Nurses are an integral part of the healthcare system and they should be able to cope with the rapidly changing healthcare needs of patients in emergency situations. Nurses need to be trained to meet the emergency healthcare needs; their enhanced skills and competence will enable them to initiate care, make decisions and manage emergency situations independently in order to save lives and limit complications. They should be able to make best use of 'the golden hour' in order to help prevent avoidable deaths in emergencies.

Coproduction arrangements are being used in a number of places and in a number of forms. Yet, little research exists on assessing the effectiveness of citizen involve ment in the production of public services, which is the focus of this paper. First, drawing upon organizational theory, a method for determining the effectiveness of coproductive activities is proposed. Then the framework is applied to a citizen volunteer emergency medical response (EMS) organization operating in a small rural community as part of a regional response system. The volunteer group is examined in its relationships to the overall EMS system of which it is part, to specific governmental agencies and private emergency response firms it works with and its own members. Variables considered include its contribution to the needs of the system, cost effectiveness, emergency response capacity, interorganizational compatibility, skill levels of participants, and their motivation for volunteering. The study finds that benefits generated by the citizen group exceed its costs and dis cusses how the group successfully integrated itself into a high-skill regional service delivery system and expanded the services it produces to meet other community needs.

Carefully planned emergency medical service is essential if disaster casualties are to receive full benefit of modern facilities and techniques. De tailed but flexible plans are required, since nonprofessional assistance cannot otherwise be utilized to full advantage, a fact abundantly clear in recent disas ters. Any plan should center on co-ordination with other community services. Basic elements of a plan should stress reception of casualties; sorting and initial diagnosis; emergency medical care; and evacuation of casualties. It is incum bent on the medical profession to initiate the training and guidance of emer gency medical cadres to make any emergency plans effective.—Ed.
