The Isch?® Library has been maintaining a monthly display that highlights recent articles by LSUHSC-New Orleans faculty. This display is being regularly updated with materials that have been gathered into the Faculty Publications Database. The Database is maintained by the Isch?® Library as a prominent resource.
The newly added articles are located in the Isch?® Library’s Reference area (near the elevator) on the third floor of the Resource Center Building.

1943 USDA nutrition chart
2011 USDA's MyPlate
With the reveal of the new food plate from the USDA, nutrition has been in the news lately. An article on NPR’s Morning Edition recently discussed “Washington’s long tradition of trying to guide the American diet”. From turn of the century agricultural expeditions to “the Poison Squad”, a group of young volunteers who explored the effects of contaminated food in the basement of the Department of Agriculture, this report chronicles the relationship of government and nutrition.
If you’re in DC this year, a new exhibit, “What’s cooking, Uncle Sam? The Government’s Effect on the American Diet” at the National Archives details America’s food history.

A recent article published by HealthDay details a study on the use of specially tinted glasses for those who frequently suffer from severe migraines.
The study is based on the premise that ÔÇ£up to 42 percent of people who have migraines accompanied by visual “aura,” such as flashes of light, may benefit.ÔÇØ The tints are believed to prevent certain patterns of light that stimulate migraines.
Although this form of treatment is still in the research phase, I personally think these doctors are onto something. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a neurological disorder and three months ago she recently recommended tented glasses as a form of relief.
Coincidence or not, I am happy to say that the frequency of my migraines have dropped significantly. Sure, the super cool shades took a bit of getting used to but for anyone who suffers from constant headaches or migraines- you might consider talking to your doctor about this option of treament.
Hurricane Season begins today; the 2011 season is predicted to be above normal according to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Make sure to familiarize yourself the universityÔÇÖs Weather Related Emergency Procedures (ChancellorÔÇÖs Memo 51). And let’s hope we don’t have to use it.

The National Library of Medicine has released a very interesting addition to their History of Medicine collection: World War II-era public health films.
These films cover a wide range of public health issues pertinent to this era. Five animated films starring ÔÇ£Private SnafuÔÇØ inform on issues like Personal Cleanliness, Cleaning Mess Gear and Drinking Water. There are also non-animated films that once educated military personnel on yellow fever, malaria and the use of DDT which was believed would cure common diseases. Interested to learn what information was important for women at war? Don’t worry- there is a film on that as well.
Available films have minor defects and scratches but are definitely worth watching!
If you have ever been off campus and stuck doing research- there’s no need to go through it alone!
The LSUHSC offers many great services, but one of the best is the Live Chat option you can find on our help page. http://www.lsuhsc.edu/no/library/services/help.html.

The production company apologizes for the inconvenience caused by the filming.
I wanted you to be aware so you can plan alternate routes to avoid delays and congestion. Thank you for your patience and accommodation of this major economic development enterprise for our City and State.
Since the Centers for Disease Control is often featured in popular movies and books about deadly outbreaks, their emergency preparedness blog has created a post for the most deadly of emergencies, the Zombie Apocalypse.
We’d like to think the CDC was partially inspired by the 2006 Zombrarian visit to our campus.
An upgrade to the Libraries’ catalog, INNOPAC, was pushed through this morning. Some pages will look different, but functionality should remain the same. Please let Library Staff know if you have any problems.
