Chapter 14: MD Anderson Publications and Publication Ethics
No full textDr. Goepfert has served on a number of editorial boards and is keenly interested in the educational dissemination of information critical to cancer research. In this section he talks about some of MD Anderson’s publications and also addresses some controversies with publication. He first raises the ethical issue of how authorship is assigned to a manuscript going out for publication. Today there are guidelines for assigning authorship, but twenty years ago, he explains, some department chairs at MD Anderson reviewed all manuscripts going for publication and insisted on being listed as first author of an article, whether they made any contribution to the research or not. Dr. Goepfert contrasts his own practice of putting his name on a paper only if he has contributed. Dr. Goepfert then shifts subjects and describes several MD Anderson educational publications, beginning with Cancer Bulletin, distributed free to all physicians across Texas.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/2010/thumbnail.jp
Kajian terhadap pembinaan tanur gas / Mohd Azmi Md. Yusoff
No full textPenulisan ini lebih cenderung kepada kajian asas terhadap pembinaan sesebuah tanur gas yang lebih baik dan rekabentuknya mengikut masa kini dan sesuai bagi individu-individu merekabentuk tanur mengikut keperluan mereka. Kajian ini cuba mendapatkan sebanyak maklumat terhadap 'rahsia' dalam pembinaan tanur terutama daripada pengeluar tanur dan barangan yang berkaitan. Kajian penulisan ini juga mengecilkan bidangnya terhadap tanur yang menggunakan gas sebagai bahan api dan penggunaan bata serta teknik penyusunan bata yang lebih sesuai bagi pembinaan tanur untuk keperluan studio. Penggunaan gas sebagai bahan api dipilih berbanding dengan kayu atau minyak kerana ianya bersih dan mudah didapati. Dengan penulisan ini juga seseorang dapat mengetahui bahan-bahan yang sesuai dan diperlukan dalam pembinaan tanur dan menganggarkan kemampuan individu dari segi kewangan juga mempertingkatkan diri individu. Kajian ini tidak menitikberatkan pembinaan tanur pada waktu-waktu yang lampau juga tanur pembakaran kayu atau minyak
Magnetic ceramic / Norzaidi Khamis and Md. Azmi Baba
No full textThis project paper explained the research and method of processing magnetic ceramic for engineering utilization. The objective of the research is to know the effects of calcined and uncalcined powders in the samples. The chemical used are in the form of powders that consists of MgO, ZnO, Mn02 and Fe203. Samples formed from the chemical above is studied by using apparatus such as XRD, SEM and Optical Microscopy and it is divided into two and named as route 1 and route 2. Route 1 is calcined powder and route 2 is un calcined powder. The first chapter explained briefly on magnetic ceramic, which consists of explaination on ceramic, magnetic ceramic and application of magnetic ceramic. The second chapter reviewed about the theories on how magnetic ceramic being produced from the raw material until it turn to a sample called magnetic ceramic. The third chapter illustrate how the volume of the powder composition is calculated before it is mixed to form the sample. The fourth chapter is about the experimental procedure that is done to produce the sample of magnetic ceramic and research done on the properties and the microstructure obtained by implementing XRD, SEM and Optical Microscop

Chapter 09: Creating a New Way of Conducting Research and Caring for Patients in a Changing Environment
No full textIn this chapter, Dr. Dmitrovsky provides an overview of how MD Anderson must operate in the new environment of research and healthcare economics. He begins by explaining that scientific endeavors traditionally rely on decisive discoveries by individual investigators that also reveal opportunities to development treatments. Today, he says, this process moves ahead via team- and interdisciplinary science, and the institution must educate the next generations of researchers in this way of conducting research. At the same time, MD Anderson must operate in a context of a flat NIH budget while responding to the new economics of the Affordable Care Act. Next, he notes that MD Anderson is supporting the education of the next generation by making investments in junior faculty with the R. Lee Clark Fellowship Program. He explains the award (juried by experts outside of MD Anderson). Next Dr. Dmitrovsky notes that reductions are being made to the length and complexity of informed consent forms so faculty can spend less time on paperwork and more time for their primary activities. He then speaks briefly about faculty recruitment and retention efforts. Then Dr. Dmitrovsky talks about strategies used to encourage interdisciplinary investigation. He speaks in detail about finding ways to provide team members with proper recognition for their contributions (when contribution is traditionally measured by first or last author status) and linking credit to faculty promotion. He also talks about empowering team members to initiate investigations and provides some examples.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1641/thumbnail.jp
Chapter 09: Strengthening Biomedical Editing Nationwide and Within MD Anderson
No full textIn this Chapter, first briefly notes his involvement with the Southwest Chapter of the American Medical Writer’s Association and the Council of Biology Editors (with a 22-year membership). He then explains that he had his biggest impact while he served on the Board of Editors in the Life Sciences and in the late 80s worked on the Editorial Certification Examination Development Committee. He describes the examination he helped create to certify competence for editors of biomedical articles and explains the significance of certification. He notes that the Department of Scientific Publications at MD Anderson uses its own battery of tests to evaluate editors’ abilities for abstract reasoning, grammar, and other skills and talents.
Next, Mr. Pagel talks about his Department’s blog, “The Write Stuff,” and two significant projects: his role on the Historical Resources Center Steering Committee, and the development of panel discussions for the Department of Scientific Publications. To begin the discussion of the Steering Committee, he notes that Scientific Publications wrote The First Twenty Years, the first history of MD Anderson. Because of this association with the institution’s history, Mr. Pagel was asked to be part of the Steering Committee when the Historical Resources Center was formed and set as its first goal the publication of an updated institutional history. Mr. Pagel wanted the perspective to be broader than the first book, situating MD Anderson and cancer research in a larger context of other cancer institutions and the history of cancer research. Though not alone in holding this view, he says he had something to do with articulating it for the benefit of the Steering Committee. He describes how James Olsen was selected to be the author and notes other Steering Committee activities.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/2275/thumbnail.jp

The morphological study of diabetic wound healing treated with gelam honey / Nur Azida Md. Azmi
No full textMalaysian honey particularly Gelam honey have been the subject of research due to their effectiveness to treat diabetic wounds. The present study was designed to evaluate the macroscopic and microscopic changes of diabetic wound tissue healing after treated with Gelam honey and to compare the efficacy of Gelam honey with the conventional treatment silver sulfadiazine (SSD). The efficacy of diabetic wounds treated with Gelam honey was evaluated on experimentally induced 3 cm full thickness incision wounds in a rat model. A total of 24 Sprague-Dawley male rats weighing 160-180 g were used in this study. The wounds were treated with Gelam honey on day 1, 5, 10, and 15 post-wounding. Control animals received no treatment while SSD treated group served as positive control. The rats were inspected daily and the general appearance was recorded at day 1, 5, 10, and 15 post-wounding. Two rats from each experimental groups were euthanized at each time interval and the skin samples were taken for microscopic evaluation. Tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. The H&E stained sections were used for evaluation of regeneration of epithelial cells, infiltration of inflammatory cells, and proliferation of granulation tissues. The results of this study showed that the topical application of Gelam honey significantly enhance the wound contraction and thus accelerated wound closure demonstrated by the macroscopic evaluation. Microscopic evaluation demonstrated significant acceleration of wound healing in wounds treated with Gelam honey as compared to other groups. Therefore, the results obtained from the present study showed that Gelam honey has a positive role in accelerating the diabetic wound healing process
