Interesting…..but here it gets murky here.

 

While the topic may be categorised within the domain of “anatomical sciences”, the question and methodology employed are epidemiologic in nature. The classic EBM principles can, therefore, be applied to this type of research which may be better named as anatomical epidemiology in which the “disease” is the state, condition or an specific anatomical occurrence.

Dear Colleagues,

I want to share my experience in applying EBM principles in basic sciences.

A year and a half ago, I started to research into the application of EBM methods on anatomical sciences. Since, we published two meta-analyses (other two already accepted for publication) on the prevalence of some clinically relevant anatomical variations and its correlation with gender, side, race and discussed the results and their impact in clinical and surgical practice. We are preparing a paper on the benefits, limitations and specificity of what we called "Evidence-Based Clinical Anatomy". The implications of such research in the basic science of clinical anatomy revealed to be beyond just clinical anatomy and interestingly reached other fields such as morphology, phylogeny and selective evolution. Interestingly, this opened the possibility to conduct interdisciplinary research.

You may find our first published paper if you follow this link:

Dear all,

 

There is some guidance on this at the Equator network. I find their materials to be excellent. Improving bioscience research reporting: the ARRIVE guidelines for reporting animal research http://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/improving-bioscience-research-reporting-the-arrive-guidelines-for-reporting-animal-research  Good laboratory practice: preventing introduction of bias at the bench

Barmak,

 

Basic med sciences create exploratory level primary evidence studies which from the foundation of further observational studies and finally diagnostic tests. Therefore the filed of diagnostics is a major beneficiary of EBM-based quality observational evidence. The diagnostic RCTs are just started making their way into medicine:

 

I just got an excellent book which landscapes the area:

 

Richard M.Simon  Genomic Clinical Trials and Predictive Medicine, Cambridge Univ Press, 2013,.

 

Best wishes,

Nik

I see EBP as undersold in these disciplines and the obvious benefits would

be safer more accurate medicine and research.

Dear All

I would be very thankful if you answer the following questions of mine.

Is there any kind of EBP in basic medical science like Anatomy,

Physiology, biochemistry and genetics?

Is there any evidence  to show that teaching EBP to these  disciplines

has obvious benefits?

 

Best regards
