11. Guidelines for the Programmatic Management of Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis: 2011
Update.
Geneva: World Health Organization; 2011.
WHO Guidelines Approved by the Guidelines Review Committee.
This 2011 update of Guidelines for the programmatic management of drug-resistant
tuberculosis is intended as a tool for use by public health professionals working
in response to the Sixty-second World Health Assembly's resolution on prevention
and control of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and extensively drug-resistant
tuberculosis. Resolution WHA62.15, adopted in 2009, calls on Member States to
develop a comprehensive framework for the management and care of patients with
drug-resistant TB. The recommendations contained in these guidelines address the
most topical questions concerning the programmatic management of drug-resistant
TB: case-finding, multidrug resistance, treatment regimens, monitoring the
response to treatment, and selecting models of care. The guidelines primarily
target staff and medical practitioners working in TB treatment and control, and
partners and organizations providing technical and financial support for care of
drug-resistant TB in settings where resources are limited.

Resident surgical experience with lens and corneal refractive surgery: survey of
the ASCRS Young Physicians and Residents Membership.
Yeu E, Reeves SW, Wang L, Randleman JB; ASCRS Young Physicians and Residents
Clinical Committee.
A 43-question survey was e-mailed to all resident members of the American Society
of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS), ASCRS members in practice for 5 or
fewer years, and residency program directors of 118 U.S. Accreditation Council
for Graduate Medical Education-accredited ophthalmology programs (for
distribution to their residents) in June 2010. Two hundred eighty-five of 2279
surveys sent were completed and returned, for a response rate of 12.5%. Most
respondents (88.7%) had served as primary surgeon in more than 100 cataract
surgeries. Fifty-two percent of respondents had not performed corneal relaxing
incisions; 60% had no experience implanting a toric IOL. Twenty-two percent had
experience implanting a presbyopia-correcting IOL. Over 75% had not performed any
corneal refractive surgical procedures. Although basic cataract case numbers
appear adequate, there are significant perceived deficiencies in current resident
training models for surgical astigmatism management, implanting
presbyopia-correcting IOLs, and corneal refractive surgery.FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE:
