This paper is an attempt to develop a distance learning model grounded upon a strict integration of problem based learning (PBL), dynamic knowledge networks (DKN) and web tools, such as hypermedia documents, synchronous and asynchronous communication facilities, etc. The main objective is to develop a theory of distance learning based upon the idea that learning is a highly dynamic cognitive process aimed at connecting different concepts in a network of mutually supporting concepts. Moreover, this process is supposed to be the result of a social interaction that has to be facilitated by the web. The model was tested by creating a virtual classroom of medical and nursing students and activating a learning session on the concept of knowledge representation in health sciences.

The authors realized a retrospective clinical-statistical study about 121 cases of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), treated in the Department of general medicine with a pharmacological association of Lysine acetylsalicylate--Erythrityl tetranitrate--Papaverine hydrochloride, with the purpose of obtaining a vasodilatation on coronary arteries and a platelet antiaggregation, in the light of the new etiopathogenetic views about the prolonged coronary spasm and the platelet aggregation, in some cases of myocardial infarction with or without thrombosis. Obtained data are very optimistic about incidence of left ventricular insufficiency and (of) thromboembolisms, to they augur the sistematic adoption of this treatment of AMI, especially as to the early antiaggregation therapy.
