Communicating across cultures: improving translation to improve complex emergency program effectiveness.

Translation is a vital activity in Complex Emergencies (CEs) in which the responders and the affected populations do not share the same language or culture. This particularly applies to CEs in developing countries in which a lack of local resources usually results in the importation of foreign aid workers. This paper describes many of the common issues surrounding translation that can affect CE response effectiveness, issues that frequently are not appreciated by aid workers, including clinicians. The authors describe how these issues can arise, their effects, and outline approaches to addressing them.

Effective communication and supervision in the biomedical engineering department.

It is important for biomedical engineering supervisors to master the art of effective communication. Supervisors who have effective communication skills can successfully initiate creative programs and generate a harmonious working atmosphere. Using effective communication, they can promote good working conditions, such as high morale, worker initiative and loyalty to the department, which are almost impossible to measure but imperative for a successful department. However, effective communication tends to be neglected by supervisors who are either functional specialists or managerial generalists. This paper presents several cases of what effective communication truly is and discusses some potential factors that may lead to ineffective communication.

[Value of adjuvant treatment applying the "CYVDIC" program after surgical treatment of soft tissue sarcomas. Preliminary communication].

The EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Cooperative Group carries out since 1978, prospective study of the "CYVADIC" (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin , Vincristine and Dacarbazine) programme applied in the postoperative course in patients with soft tissue sarcomas. The group of 24 patients treated in the Oncology Center-Institute in Warsaw entering this international programme is presented. Results so far obtained by the EORTC Cooperative Group concerning 358 patients introduced from over 15 oncologic centers from various European countries are discussed. Neither the improved survival nor extension of the free of metastases period in patients treated with chemotherapy have been observed in comparison with the control groups. The authors conclude that at present time there is not any evidence indicating the favourable results of treatment applying the "Cyvadic" programme as adjuvant therapy in the postoperative course of treatment of soft tissue sarcomas.
