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.”

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.

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.
Natural Standard, our?áevidence-based information provider for integrative medicine,?árecently added a Healthy Recipes database. ?áThis new database features a wide range of healthy recipes.?áEach recipe provides details on preparation time, difficulty, diet and nutrition, as well as direct links to Natural Standard evidence-based systematic reviews for studied ingredients. Watch the video for more information and how to access.
Natural Standard is also available as an app – contact us for a serial number to install.
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.
If you’d like more tips, tricks, or other information about the WebBridge Link Resolver, please check its LibGuides page.
Just in time for medical internships to begin July 1st, iMedicalApps.com ?áhas released a curated list of top 10 free iPad medical apps. Resources include AHRQ’S EPSS, MicroMedex, and MedScape. Notoriously missing is Epocrates.com. Why? Turns out they don’t even have a native app for iPad.
Check out the link for the entire list, short reviews and videos after the cut. (Users must ?álog in or create a free iMedicalApps account to view the videos, which this librarian finds highly annoying.)
Our kudos and congratulations go out to our dental librarian Julie Schiavo, who recently completed ?áa?áCertificate of Advanced Study in Health Sciences Librarianship?áfrom the University of Pittsburgh.

Are you an avid searcher of CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, PsycInfo, or any of the other EBSCOhost databases available from the Library? Did you know the WebBridge Link Resolver that lets you check the availability of an article from a citation is also available in all of the EBSCOhost databases?
The “Check Full Text” icon is displayed in two places when using any EBSCOhost database. One is with the list of citations you see after you’ve performed a search or are browsing a publication:
The second place you will see the link resolver icon is when you’re viewing the abstract or summary of an article:
Whenever you click the “Check Full Text” icon, a new tab or window will open showing options where you can get the article (electronically or in the Library’s print collection). If the journal is not available through any of the Library’s subscriptions or other sources, a link will be provided that gives you the option to request the article through the ILLiad Interlibrary Loan system.
More information and tips are available on the WebBridge Link Resolver LibGuides page.
