Roland Hetzer International Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Society (RHICS)
To honor the mentorship, leadership and contributions of Prof. Dr. Roland Hetzer in the field of cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, the Roland Hetzer International Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery Society (RHICS) was founded by cardiothoracic and vascular surgeons who have trained and worked under Prof. Hetzer, including former students, present staff and colleagues from all over the world.
Its exclusive objectives are first of all to provide a forum for expert discussion on relevant cardiothoracic issues and to foster international collaboration and cooperation in clinical practice and scientific research in our specialty by setting up guidelines based on conclusions derived from this expert opinion forum.

I can't get (or give) no satisfaction...

Public speaking is not at all easy, and for many people it is not at all pleasant. In this series of articles we have already spoken about how nerves can seriously harm your performance and impair data transmission. Speakers are generally nervous before any kind of audience, but all the more so when it is made up of peers, because they have a certain degree of expectation. Naturally, they want to do it properly and give a good impression. Indeed, most people that receive the highly sought after opportunity to speak in public will maybe sleep very badly the night before the event, especially when they are inexperienced undergraduate university students, postgraduate clinical residents or young researchers attempting to navigate the uncertain oceans of the biomedical community. Yet, even the seasoned speaker will be a bit nervous. Being a little nervous is normal, even healthy.
A journey into clinical evidence: from case reports to mixed treatment comparisons

Medical decision making can be based on several approaches. Indeed, evidence based medicine represents just one of the several conceivable means to decide how to manage patients. For instance, eminence, experience, vehemence, eloquence, elegance, providence, diffidence, nervousness, and confidence can all guide (or misguide) clinical decisions instead of evidence. Nonetheless, it now appears clear that prior clinical evidence, disseminated through peer-review publication, is the only viable approach to foster improvements in the delivery of health care.
