The diagnostic characters of Huaxiapterus benxiensis are well-developed premaxillary crest and parietal spine, the crest and spine parallel and extending posterodorsally, and a shallow groove present on the dorsal surface of the anterior portion of the mandibular symphysis. The different skull morphologies of Chinese tapejarid pterosaurs indicate that they are much more diverse than the previous thought.展开更多

In the same rationale, the communication betweenChinese and Western medicinal cultures is the communication between two medicinal beliefs, knowledge, and languages. In this article,the key components of Chinese and Western cultures will be discussed to lay the foundations for better communication of TraditionalChinese Medicine (TCM) in the Western world. Besides the discussion of similarities and differences between the two cultures, the potentialof being complementary to each other in practices will be explored. Moreover, in this article, using key leadership skills to enable bettercommunication and practices of TCM in the Western world will be examined as well.展开更多

There are risks of adverse herb-drug interactions when taken concurrently. Current literature suggests that TCM use is not regularly reported to WM doctors in Singapore, but the underlying reasons are not understood.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted across Singapore by administering questionnaires to TCM-using patients and WM-practising general practitioners(GPs). The questionnaire examined the following themes:(1) demographics and TCM use pattern;(2) respondents'(patients and GPs) knowledge and beliefs about TCM and the factors influencing the discussion of TCM during the WM consultation;and(3) respondents' qualitative suggestions to increase disclosure rate.Results: A total of 484 patients and 334 GPs were surveyed. Factors associated with patients' initiation of TCM discussion include length of consultation(odds ratio [OR]: 2.1;P < 0.001), comfort level in discussing TCM(OR: 1.6;P < 0.001) and belief in importance of discussion(OR: 1.4;P = 0.017). Doctor's initiation of discussion(74%) was the top patient-ranked factor influencing their discussion of TCM. For doctors,knowledge of TCM indications(OR: 2.2;P < 0.001), belief in importance of discussion(OR: 2.1;P < 0.001) and comfort level in discussing TCM(OR: 1.9;P = 0.001) were associated with their initiation of TCM use discussion. Possible WM-TCM interactions(58%) was the top doctor-ranked factor influencing their discussion of TCM.Conclusion: The discussion of TCM in a WM setting is multifactorial. Interventions include doctors' active screening for TCM use in patients and equipping doctors with TCM knowledge. Improving communication between patients and doctors is key to avoiding harmful herb-drug interactions.展开更多
