science is “simply common sense at itsbest; that is, rigidly accurate in observation and merciless to a fallacy in logic.” Thomas Henry Huxley The Crayfish: An Introduction to the Study of Zoology 1880
Biomedical research guidelines • Biomedical research: research involving humansubjects including research onidentifiable human material oridentifiable data. • Medical research is only justified ifthere is a reasonable likelihood thatthe populations in which theresearch is carried out stand tobenefit from the results of theresearch.

PROGRAMMAZIONE & ESECUZIONE
Biomedical research guidelines • Subjects physical/mental condition must be necessary to research. • Protocols have to be approved by IEC. • Informed consents have to beobtained from subject or legalrepresentative. • Sources of funding, institutionalaffiliations, conflicts of interestspecified Negative and positive results shouldbe published

VALUTAZIONE dei DATI
Why EBM is a practical and correct tool? A filter of medical knowledge and scientific data based on predifined rules.
Evidence-Based Health Care J. A. Muir Gray 2001
A critical appraisal of “evidence-based medicine” in allergy and asthma Bousquet J. et al., Allergy 2004
META-ANALYSES Bousquet J. et al.,Allergy 2004
USA criteria of evidence Bousquet J. et al.,Allergy 2004
EBM, Do we have better criteria?? Presently, NO!!!!!

Evidence-based Medicine (EBM) Integratespathophysiologic rationale, care-giver experience,patient preferences with valid and current clinicalresearch evidence. Must be able to critically review the research and know if it applies to your patient-care problem. “…the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about care of the individual patients”.
Areas where EBM has helped to clarified some issues: • COPD Therapy • Asthma Therapy • ARDS Management • Airway Management • Weaning • Upper Respiratory Infections • Community Acquired Pneumonia • Lung Cancer
Pulmonary research in the first quarter of the 21st centurywill focus on these major areas Crystal RG JAMA. 2001

What to do for a scientific research: Review international literature Collect/ produce data Analyse data Control repeatability and reproducibility of methods Draw conclusions
Impact Factors The journal impact factor is a measure of the frequency with which the "average article" in a journal has been cited in a particular year. The impact factor will help you evaluate a journal’s relative importance, especially when you compare it to others in the same field. WARNING: a higher I.F. means a higher commercial value of the journal
