LSUHSC Facilities is planning to do some drain cleaning in the Library Commons food service area this evening (Thursday, Nov 4th) at about 6:00 pm. As a result, there could be a bad smell in the general area, although they will have deodorizers to dissipate any resulting smells. Thanks for your patience!
The Images database is compiled from full text resources at NCBI.
There’s a new free images database available from NCBI (the National Center for Biotechnology Information, aka the folks that bring you PubMed). Imaginatively entitled Images, it allows users to search millions of scientific images from NCBI full text resources, including images from journals in PubMed Central. Search with terms or detailed search parameters, such as image height, width, and caption. Try “squamous cell skin cancer” for some fun results.
You can access images from the Database drop down menu in PubMed, directly at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/images
*Edit* July 2011 This database is no longer available from NCBI. Try searching under PubMedCentral and images will be on the right side of the screen.

Looking for a mobile app to diagnose musculoskeletal injuries and disorders? Clinically Relevant Technologies has developed an application for both iPhone and Android which includes descriptions, demonstrative video clips, and references from the medical literature for over 200 musculoskeletal diagnostic tests.
What I like about it is that every test is referenced back to a clinical citation. Tests must meet three main criterion for inclusion:
1) The test must be described/referenced in a peer-reviewed medical journal
2) The test must be used in the evaluation and diagnosis of musculoskeletal pathology
3) The test would be performed by the clinician or as part of clinical evaluation (not include laboratory or diagnostic imaging tests for example).
At $39.99, this app isn’t the cheapest, but as iPhone App review points out, “an equivalent text would cost several-fold more and cannot offer the same portability and ease of use”.
For screen shots and more info, check out i Medical Apps.
Available for iPhone and Android platforms
