Developing Local Systems To Support Revalidation
The UK Revalidation Programme Board (UKRPB) has reviewed the strategy and timetable for developing local systems to support the introduction of revalidation for doctors. The Board expects that these systems will be in place in some parts of the country by 2011. The GMC is committed to a phased approach to introducing revalidation from 2011. This will mean starting where the systems needed to support revalidation are ready and fit for purpose.

What Is Diarrhea? What Causes Diarrhea?
Diarrhea is the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. Acute diarrhea, which is a common cause of death in developing countries, appears rapidly and may last from five to ten days. Chronic diarrhea lasts much longer and is the second cause of childhood death in the developing world. Diarrhea is sometimes accompanied by abdominal cramps or fever. It may be caused by infection, allergy, or could be a sign of a serious disorder, such as IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), or Crohn"s disease.

Global Confirmed Swine Flu Cases Nears 10,000

According to WHO (World Health Organization), the total number of confirmed swine flu A(H1N1) cases of human infections stands at 9,830, including 79 deaths. The numbers of confirmed cases are rising by approximately 1,000 per day, says WHO. Japan has seen confirmed cases rise sharply over the last few days. Several medical charities say that wealthy countries have taken up such a high proportion of vaccine orders that there is not much left for the rest of the world over the medium term. The A(H1N12) influenza virus strain (swine flu) is much less virulent than previously thought. It is no more likely to lead to serious complications or death than ordinary seasonal human influenza, say experts. However, WHO says it is still too early to predict which way this outbreak will go. Influenza viruses may mutate if they come into contact with other flu viruses. If a person who is already ill with flu gets infected by the swine flu virus as well, that virus would have the opportunity to exchange genetic material with the virus present in the sick person - this could result in a mutation. Fortunately, the majority of mutated viruses are nowhere near as virulent as the Avian Flu Virus (H5N1).
