Friday fun: Is ur #MD 2 square?

Is your doctor a technophobe? A recent article from the Minneapolis StarTribune asked that question while discussing physician use of social media.

There’s a stereotype that says doctors shun technology that might threaten patients’ privacy and their own pocketbooks. But a new breed of physicians is texting health messages to patients, tracking disease trends on Twitter, identifying medical problems on Facebook pages and communicating with patients through email.

Most physicians are comfortable using technology enough to communicate with their peers and manage patient care, but avoid online communication with patients. Indeed, the American Medical Association advises that when it comes to social media, “physicians must maintain appropriate boundaries of the patient-physician relationship in accordance with professional ethical guidelines just, as they would in any other context.” However, a new breed of physician might be bucking that role:

The famed Mayo Clinic holds “Tweet camps” to train its doctors how to use Twitter appropriately, said Lee Aase, director of Mayo’s Center for Social Media in Rochester, Minn.

Says Aase, “If we can trust doctors with sharp instruments and narcotics, we can trust them with Twitter and Facebook.”

Recent (brief) Interview with Rowena Spencer

Pictured: Rowena Spencer, Cruz Hernandez, infant patient – July 1964

Happy Birthday to former/retired faculty member, Rowena Spencer on her 90th birthday.

A recent brief interview with her was published on the American Medical Student Association Blog.

The Isché Library has two copies of her 2003 monograph, Conjoined twins: developmental malformations and clinical implications.

Affordable Care Act and you

The Supreme Court’s decision to uphold the Affordable Care Act (ACA) last week (full text of decision here) has major implications for the US health care system. Over 32 million newly insured individuals could conceivably enter the health care system due to ACA, expanding and affecting programs such as Medicare, Medicaid and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research. Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal joined the health care debate on MSNBC’s Meet the Press this past Sunday, suggesting Louisiana would not fully implement the changes brought about by ACA (video here). Whether you call it Obamacare or Health Care Reform, it is important to be aware of the Affordable Care Act and the potential impact on the US health care system. Here are some informational sources and reactions from health associations:

• The Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) – ACA timeline, key points & amicus briefs
• American Dental Association (ADA) reaction
• American Medical Association (AMA) information and reaction
• American Nurses Association (ANA)?áinformation and reaction
• American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) reaction
• American Public Health Association (APHA) reaction
• American Physical Therapy Association Reaction (APTA) reaction

Friday Fun: the first MRI of a baby being born

A recent video making the Internet rounds is the first MRI of a baby being born.

The images were shot during a normal birth at Charit?® University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, in November, 2010, researchers say in a report published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. Still MRI pictures of the birth were previously published, but this is the first look at the video, made with time-lapsed images over the last 45 minutes of labor.

The MRI is of a baby boy in the final moments in utero and his mother, a 24-year-old woman with two younger children. The last moments of birth (the “money shot” if you will) are not included. Physicians shut down the MRI machine slightly before delivery because they did not want to expose the baby’s ears to the common thumping sound associated with MRIs.

Reports USA Today, “The doctors don’t say how they convinced a woman to go through the final stages of labor in an MRI machine — but do say she weathered the experience just fine.”

Link Resolver Tips: Scopus

If you are a frequent user of Scopus, then you might have noticed a new icon on the search results and article summary screens. This new icon is for the Library’s WebBridge Link Resolver service, and it lets you check if an article is available either electronically or in print through any of the myriad Library resources.

When you perform a search, you will see the link resolver icon with each citation on the results screen:

You will also see the icon when you view the abstract or summary of a citation:

When you click the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window opens that provides your options to retrieve the article. If it is not available through the Library’s subscriptions or other readily-available sources, a link will be offered to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system.

Looking for more information or tips about the WebBridge Link Resolver? This page from the Library’s LibGuides can help you.

Friday Fun: sperm bags & the trachea that should have spoken up

Did you hear the one about the lady who hatched baby squid from her teeth? Disgusting, but true. A recent case study in the Journal of Parasitology reports on “Penetration of the oral mucosa by parasite-like sperm bags of squid: a case report in a Korean woman.”
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21834723

A 63-yr-old Korean woman experienced severe pain in her oral cavity immediately after eating a portion of parboiled squid along with its internal organs. She did not swallow the portion, but spat it out immediately. She complained of a pricking and foreign-body sensation in the oral cavity. Twelve small, white spindle-shaped, bug-like organisms stuck in the mucous membrane of the tongue, cheek, and gingiva were completely removed, along with the affected mucosa. On the basis of their morphology and the presence of the sperm bag, the foreign bodies were identified as squid spermatophores.

Then there’s the one about the medical student who rescued a body part from airport security. A professor at Bristol University, UK was attempting to transport a stem-cell generated trachea from England to Barcelona via airplane for a transplant operation, but was stopped by airport security because the container violated the liquid limit. A medical student with a pilot friend stepped in and flew the trachea privately to Spain in time for surgery, for a mere $21,000. The story and associated scientific articles can be found via NPR’s Health and Science blog.

Link Resolver Tips: ProQuest

If you use ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Source you can check the availability of an article directly from the citation by using the WebBridge Link Resolver. There are two places in this database where you can find out whether the Library has access to an article electronically or in print.

First, when you perform a search you will see a link called “LSUHSC-NO check for full text” displayed next to all citations on the list of search results:

Additionally, you will see the familiar “Check Full Text” icon when you view the abstract or summary of an article:

?á

When you click either the “LSUHSC-NO check for full text” link or the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window will open showing options where you can find the article for that citation. A link will be offered to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system if it is not available through any of the LibraryÔÇÖs subscriptions or other sources.
