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

Chapter 21: MD Anderson’s Response to the Affordable Care Act; ACA Requirements; Value-Based Purchasing
No full textIn this chapter, Dr. Foxhall continues discussion of the Affordable Care Act.
He sketches MD Anderson’s programs to help with financial assistance.
He then talks about the requirement that institutions report on the quality of care. He gives examples to explain what is involved in this process, noting that historically, medical practices have not had enough transparency in care and outcomes. Reporting enables consumers to have a better idea of how well providers are doing. In addition, this information will be used as a basis for determining payment. Next Dr. Foxhall explains that the ACA requires that institutions participate in an Accountable Care Organization. He explains the reasoning for this, and notes that it is not clear how a specialized hospital will engage with them.
Next Dr. Foxhall talks about the ACA’s requirement for Value-Based Purchasing, giving examples of how examining processes has revealed unnecessary costs in deliver of care.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1867/thumbnail.jp

No full textDr. Foxhall notes that his interest in cancer (and tobacco) began during his private practice; he mentions other professionals in Houston who were also focusing on tobacco. He lists the projects he implemented during this time and notes his involvement in the Texas Academy of Family Physicians and its subgroups focused on prevention.
Dr. Foxhall then explains that he met and worked with Dr. Joseph Painter of MD Anderson was also interested in community outreach at the time. He describes the projects the worked on to educate physicians (part of a national movement). Dr. Foxhall also explains that it was key to demonstrate to physicians the value of collaborating with a large cancer center. He explains the previous mindset physicians held about their relationship to cancer centers.https://openworks.mdanderson.org/mchv_interviewchapters/1848/thumbnail.jp
The Son and the other stars: Christology and cosmology in the imagination of C.S. Lewis
No full textThis dissertation treats the theory and practice of C. S. Lewis's theological imagination,
focussing upon the imaginative use he made of his professional expertise in medieval and
renaissance literature. Its approach is principally expository rather than an evaluative.
Chapter One outlines the centrality of the imagination to a proper understanding of Lewis's
works.
Chapter Two examines Lewis's own theory of imagination and surveys how he practised it
as a literary critic. We compare and contrast Lewis's theory and practice of imagination
with that of his friend, the theologian, Austin Faffer.
Chapter Three looks in more detail at Lewis's imaginative practice, in particular his
fascination with the images supplied by the seven planets of the Ptolemaic cosmos, which
he termed 'spiritual symbols of permanent value'. We analyse what he meant by 'sprit'
and 'symbol'.
Chapter Four introduces the main argument of the dissertation namely that these seven
spiritual symbols structure the works for which Lewis is best known, the seven 'Chronicles
of Narnia'. We claim to have uncovered the governing imaginative blueprint of the septet.
We address Lewis's capacity for and interest in secrecy and consider why this planetary
theme has remained hitherto undetected.
In Chapters Five to Eleven we take the seven planets in turn and trace the use Lewis made
of them through out his writings. We analyse the planetary symbolism undergirding each
Chronicle and conclude each chapter with an exegesis of the Christological message of each
book so understood.
Chapter Twelve examines factors which motivated Lewis to focus his imaginative energies
upon Ptolemaic cosmology and suggests one particular occasioning factor behind the
composition of the Chronicles. In addition, we consider theological and pedagogical reasons
why he kept silent about the planetary theme. We conclude by indicating certain
consequences that our argument has for future readings of these seven works
