Go Mobile guide available
PDA medical software provider Epocrates has produced a healthcare professional’s guide to choosing and using a mobile device. Although this guide is produced by a company that is trying to sell you something, it is still a decent introduction to mobile devices and the various jargon associated with them.

Listen to your buds
Catch the sounds in ‘Bump and Hustle’ and keep the music down!
A 2006 ASHA survey (that’s the American Speech and Hearing Association) indicated that 40% percent of students set their music players’ volumes too loud. In fact, a recent article in the Journal of Pediatrics found that most adolescents are aware that they listen to their music too loud, and (in the tradition of adolescents everywhere) really don’t care.
This online game from ASHA educates kids about the potential risk of hearing loss from unsafe usage of personal audio technology. The little buds even look like the headphones of an ipod. Cute!
Dental applications for iPhone
Planet DDS, a provider of web-based dental software, has recently created an interface with the iPhone, Medical iPhone blog reports. Denticon Web-Based Practice Management on iPhone has capabilities for scheduling, records management, insurance billing, digital radiography, and more.

?óÔé¼?ôOmaha, here come the Tigers”
70 years end on a high note
Monday night at Alex Box Stadium was a wonderful ending to the 70 years of LSU’s old baseball stadium. The Tigers trounced the UC-Irvine Anteaters 21-7, to advance to the NCAA College World Series in Omaha. LSU will play North Carolina in the opening round of the 2008 NCAA College World Series at 6 p.m. Sunday. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN 2.
No pain, no gain
According to NCAA injury surveillance data for men’s baseball from 1998-2004, college baseball has a relatively low rate of injury compared with other NCAA sports, but 25% of injuries are severe and result in 10+ days of time loss from participation. Injuries can include everything from tearing the cartilage in your shoulder to taking a ball in the face. In fact, there’s 130 articles in PubMed on college baseball alone.
A healthy Tiger is a happy Tiger
This article from the Journal of Athletic Training gives an overview of collegiate injuries for 15 sports, along with recommendations for injury prevention.
And if you’re interested in how the new baseball stadium is coming along, click here for LSU Sports Net.
