| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | The Placebo Paradox | Placebos | SMART EM 12 | Deep inside most medical providers there is a war of the psyche; a battle between art and science. We are ambassadors for Û÷scienceÛª, true believers. Yet we are baffled and unsettled every day by events and conditions that defy the scientific precepts on which we stand. The most ubiquitous emblem of this conflict is placebo. Placebo equals nothing. DoesnÛªt it? But common surgeries are proven no better than sham surgery. Entire classes of ubiquitous drugs are proven equal to placebo. Thus we may scoff at placebo, but we implicitly confess and embrace the power of placebo every day. |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Upper GI Bleed: PPIs | Upper GI Bleed, PPIs, proton pump inhibitors | SMART EM 11 | Upper GI bleeds are common, and theyÛªre messy. We wanted to know how good the data are for the pharmacological interventions that have become standard fare for upper GI bleeds. Turns out the data are messy too. In fact, because no one else would, we did our own little meta-analysis. Good news is we have a concrete answer on PPIs for upper GI bleeding. Bad news is that the news is not good. And not at all what we expected. |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Threatened Abortion: Knowledge is Power | abortion, miscarriage, threatened, gynaecology | SMART EM 10 | Threatened abortion is among the most common conditions in outpatient settings. The explosive growth of ultrasound imaging, and increasingly limited access to specialty care have combined to make first trimester bleeding a disease for emergency and primary care docs. |

Newman, Ashley Shreves | CT Consent | CT, administration, consent, informed | SMART EM 9 | a reasonable, data driven set of risks that we can tell our patients who are considering undergoing CT scan.

| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Chest Pain Risk | Chest Pain Risk | SMART EM 8 | Risk stratification is the emergency physicianÛªs best friend. We stratify, itÛªs what we do. So how likely is it that a 56 y/o gentleman with mild exertional chest pain, a non-diagnostic EKG, and a negative troponin is going to have an MI or die in the next 30 days? |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Antibiotics for Otitis Media: Feel Better? | antibiotics, earache, OM, glue ear, otitis media | SMART EM 7 | Otitis media is the primary reason that children in western developed nations spend 6-7 weeks per year taking antibiotics before their 2nd birthday. Seriously. Is it worth it? WhatÛªs in it for them? WhatÛªs in it for moms and dads? Who are we helping and who are we hurting? |
| David H. Newman, Ashley Shreves | Pediatric UTI: It's About the Future | UTI, urosepsis, paediatric, urine infection | SMART EM 6 | UTIÛªs are the Û÷in thingÛª.
