There is a growing concern that, like in many developed countries, medical practice in Singapore is fast losing its role and status as a profession. The commodification and industrialisation of health care, and weakening of its ethical foundations are among the main forces threatening to deprofessionalise the practice of medicine. To overcome these challenges, an honest and introspective review of the goals of medicine and an affirmation of the ethical values of medicine are needed in order to reinstate the unique role of medicine in our society. Important steps to take include adopting a patient-centred philosophy and practice culture, promoting and emphasising ethical awareness and sensitivity among physicians, and active participation in constructive dialogues to negotiate the social contract of the profession. A more permanent impact may be achieved through cultivation of medical virtues in physicians, and the integration of core elements of medical professionalism into the ethical systems and mission statement of today's health care organisations.
Increased knowledge about the mechanisms of joint inflammation and damage has profoundly shaped the development of new therapies for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The first stop on this remarkable bench-to-bedside journey has been the biologics targeting tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 1 (IL-1). These engineered adaptations of naturally occurring molecules function to neutralize the biological activity of proinflammatory cytokines overproduced in the joints of patients with RA. The successful translation of this approach into the clinic has had a substantial effect on the care of patients with RA.
