How can I clean up my environment at home? by Malcolm Richardson
There is evidence that occupants of damp or mouldy buildings are at increased risk of respiratory symptoms, that remediation of dampness can reduce adverse health outcomes, that exposure to mould increases the risk of various conditions and that allergic people are particularly susceptible.

Reinventing specialty training of physicians? Principles and challenges
In a world undergoing constant change, in the era of
globalisation, the training of medical professionals should
be under constant review so that it can be tailored to meet
the needs of this society in transition. This is all the more
true at times of economic uncertainty, such as the current
conditions, which have a direct impact on health services.
Professionals need new Competencies for new times. Over
the last decade initiatives have emerged in various Anglo-
Saxon countries which have defined a framework of basic
Competencies that all medical specialists should
demonstrate in their professional practice. In addition to
this, we must respond to the creation of the European
Higher Education Area which has implications for
specialised training. In Spain, training for medical specialists
was in need of an overhaul and the recently passed law
(Real Decreto 183/2008) will allow us to move forward and
implement, in medical education, initiatives and innovations
required in our medical centres, to respond to the new
society and bring us in line with international professional
education and practice. The way forward is a Competencybased
model for medical education with assessment of
these Competencies using simple instruments, validated and
accepted by all the stakeholders. The institutions involved
(hospitals, medical centres and other health care services)
should trial different approaches within the general
framework established by the current legislation and be
conscious of the duty they have to society as accredited
training organisations. Accordingly, they should consolidate
their teaching and learning structures and the various
different educational roles (Director of Studies, Tutors, and
other teaching positions), showing the leadership necessary
to allow proper implementation of their training
programmes. For this, the Spanish Autonomous Regions
must develop their own legislation regulating Medical
Specialty Training. So, medical professionals should receive
training, based on ethical values, behaviours and attitudes
that considers humanistic, scientific and technical factors,
developing an understanding of the scientific method;
ability to put it into practice; skills to manage complexity
and uncertainty; a command of scientific, technical and IT
terminology to facilitate independent learning; and a
capacity for initiative and teamwork, as well as skills for
dealing with people and for making an effective,
democratic contribution both within health organisations
and in the wider society.
Key words: Postgraduate Medical Education. Competencybased
Medical Education.

NEJM Procedure: Deployment of an Endovascular Graft in an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Aneurysm repair is a mechanical solution to the problem of progressive expansion of abdominal aortic aneurysm and the risk of rupture. Although open surgical repair, which has been the established approach, is very effective, it carries substantial risks from the extensive surgical procedure. Endovascular repair was developed to reduce the risks associated with open surgery and to provide a treatment option for patients who are not deemed to be surgical candidates.
