Research Perspectives and Case Studies in System Test and Diagnosis

"System point checking out is turning into more and more very important. it really is pushed by means of the incessant march of complexity . .. that is forcing us to resume our pondering at the procedures and methods that we practice to check and prognosis of platforms. in reality, the complexity defines the method itself which, for our reasons, is ¿any aggregation of comparable components that jointly shape an entity of enough complexity for which it truly is impractical to regard all the components on the lowest point of element .

Example text

A veritable lepidopterists’ paradise was erected by Boissier de Sauvages, who in 1768, in his Nosologia Methodica, grouped diseases into ten classes, 295 genera, and 2400 species. Although a mere recitation of the advances in medical knowledge that have flowed from Morgagni’s initial observations would be both self-evident and repetitious, I would be remiss if I did not refer to Bichht, who in 1800 was the first to point out that pathological changes occurred not so much in organs as in tissues.

The benefits of clinical research are both direct-through improved practice-and indirect-through improved teaching and contributions to biological science. I t is suggested that the clinical scientist, experienced in both clinical and research work, has a potential not to be expected from collaboration between nonscientific clinicians and non-clinical scientists, Problems which particularly affect clinical research include: ethics: difficulty in being experimentally rigorous; the need to be opportunistic; dependence on transient workers; excessive concern with the end stages of irreversible disease; triviality; uncritical and premature imitation of research in practice.

We are of course considering this from the standpoint of medical practice, but nobody here would hold that medical practice is the only thing relevant to health and disease. Environment, political action and social factors are in many cases more important. In the past the general improvement in health has been due to these factors more than to what doctors have done. But now we have to consider what we can d o about our part of the problem. In that sense I think Dr Bearn hit the nail very much on the head.
