	Atlas Of Acute Leukemia (ALL, AML)
		Acute leukemia is closely related to erythroleukemia, a condition intermediate between acute erythremia and acute leukemia erythremia <— erythroleukemia —> myeloblastic leukemia.
		Acute eosinophilic leukemia is diagnosed by examination of the bone marrow, since eosinophils usually are not increased in the peripheral blood.
		Acute basophilic leukemia is evidenced by an extreme increase in the basophilic granulated cells of granulocytopoiesis.

	RCP \| Working Party Report (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It is particularly timely in that the practice of acute medicine has changed dramatically as a result of the introduction of admission/assessment units, and the appointment of a small number of acute care physicians.
		In order to protect the quality of the acute medicine being delivered it is imperative that a considerable body of physicians are trained in both a specialty and general internal medicine.
		Acute care physicians should work closely with the Clinical Evaluation Units of the Royal Colleges of Physicians of London and Edinburgh in order to facilitate the analysis of any retrospective data and to design prospective studies to determine what difference the acute care physician has made to the care of medical emergencies.

	HIV Medicine 2005 \| Acute HIV-1 Infection
		The diagnosis of acute infection is missed in the majority of cases, as other viral illnesses ("flu") are often assumed to be the cause of the symptoms, and there are no HIV-1-specific antibodies detectable at this early stage of infection.
		Acute HIV-1 infection is a very heterogeneous syndrome and individuals presenting with more severe symptoms during acute infection and a longer duration of the acute infection syndrome tend to progress more rapid to AIDS [22,
		Acute phase cytotoxic T lymphocyte escape is a hallmark of simian immunodeficiency virus infection.

	eMedicine - Glomerulonephritis, Acute : Article by Amin Antoine Kazzi, MD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Acute glomerulonephritis is currently described as a clinical syndrome that frequently manifests as a sudden onset of hematuria, proteinuria, and red cell casts.
		Inpatient care may be necessary, based on the type and/or etiology of acute glomerulonephritis (eg, shunt nephritis), the extent of renal involvement, or the existence of signs and symptoms indicative of potentially serious complications (eg, pulmonary edema, severe hypertension, encephalopathy).
		Progression to sclerosis is rare in the typical patient; however, in 0.5-2% of patients with acute glomerulonephritis, the course progresses toward renal failure, resulting in kidney death in a short period.

	British Medical Journal: Caring for and about acute general medicine
		It is unfair to specialist consultants and to their patients to continue to expect the former to practise general medicine, and to admit such patients as part of their on-call responsibilities.
		In particular, the concept of the acute "medical" receiving ward that is at a distance from the emergency department yet accepts patients by ambulance is an anachronism and unnecessarily duplicates and stretches resources.
		Acute medicine and emergency medicine are the same thing.

		Acute Medicine is that part of General (Internal) Medicine which is concerned with the immediate and early specialist management of adult patients with a wide range of medical conditions who present to hospitals as emergencies
		Peter Featherstone and his team put in so much effort to organise the Programme and their efforts were totally vindicated - the choice of venue was inspired and the balanced mix of presentations was first class.
		When our own trainees are appointed to run acute medicine units then the whole situation should take off with both service provision for the acutely sick and training of junior doctors in acute medicine benefiting enormously.

		The curriculum for General Internal Medicine (G(I)M) specifies the skills and competencies that should be acquired by all trainees wanting to work in acute general medicine, but for those who wish to take a lead role in an MAU it was felt that additional competencies should be developed.
		The curriculum for the subspecialty of Acute Medicine that has now been approved by the PMETB has been constructed to take account of this need.
		The curriculum must be read in association with the curriculum that has already been published for G(I)M and when the competencies defined in both documents are achieved it is anticipated that individuals will be adequately trained to take the lead role in an MAU.
