This study investigated the impact of organ transplantation scandals on corneal donation rate at the University Hospital T/ibingen. Each deceased patient was considered as a potential corneal donor. An ophthalmic resident handled with stable methods of procedures the corneal donor procurement from 2009 to 2015. The rates of corneal donation were examined and analyzed. Among the 5712 hospital deaths, consent for corneal donation was obtained in 711 cases. The mean annual corneal donation rate was 12.4%. Since 2009, the donation rate per year could be increased with exception of 2013 and 2015. In the end of 2012 and 2014 two huge organ donation scandals were known in Germany. In the following years 2013 and 2015 corneal donation rate decreased significantly （P=0.0181 and P=0.0006）. We concluded that transplantation scandals have a significant impact on corneal donation rate. Improving professional＇s performance through full transparency and honesty is very important to earn trust of potential donors and their families.展开更多

In the summer of 2014,Shanghai-based Husi Food Co Ltd was mired in a food-safety scandal. OSI Group responded to this situation by releasing statements and holding China press conference. This study focused on OSI Group's image repair strategies employed in the scandal in Chinese context. A content analysis revealed that OSI Group's image repair relied primarily on six strategies: defeasibility( appalled by the event),bolstering( factory in Henan is state-of-art),minimization( it was an isolated event),corrective action( thorough internal investigation),and mortification( sincerely apologized),and attacking the accuser( launched OSI Food Safety Education Campaign). Basically,OSI Group's mortification without compensation doomed its efforts to failure.Implications for implementing image repair strategies with the combination of crisis types are addressed.展开更多

They require no effort for compliance and avoid systemic synthetic hormones. Evidence-based effectiveness and safety studies have demonstrated IUDs rival sterilization. IUDs low cost make them the most popular method worldwide. Despite these benefits, IUDs have minimal market penetration in the United States where they are expensive, disparaged by an older generation of physicians, and withheld from teenagers, nulliparous women, and women not in mutually monogamous relationships, i.e., those who would most benefit. This article reviews the nearly forgotten history of the IUD that resulted in broadening the Food and Drug Administration’s oversight of medical devices, brought needed transparency to physicians’ conflicts of interests, uncovered a corporate scandal with a whistleblower that led to a major pharmaceutical bankruptcy, and involved 327,000 women (though only 195,000 met strict criteria for claims) in the largest US personal injury case.展开更多

The ＂Tangentopoli＂ scandal was still to come, but the seed of anti-politics started to grow in collective mentality. Italian singers-songwriters, the so-called ＂cantautori＂ （a portmanteau of cantare, to sing, and autori, authors）, were interested in these developments; their songs commented on elements that played a crucial role, few years later, in the irreversible crisis of the ＂prima repubblica＂： the overwhelming power of political parties, the ＂consociativismo＂ （secret power agreements between the government and the opposition）, the corruption, the growing and pervasive role of mass media Through the songs of singers-songwriters, the present essay traces the season of the scandal of ＂Tangentopoli＂, stopping at 1994, the year of the victory of＂Forza Italia＂, the new political party founded by Silvio Berlusconi展开更多
