In this case, the primary abstract conclusion was: “Both orthopaedic surgeons’ and family physicians’ knowledge of treating LBP is deficient. Orthopedic surgeons are less aware of current treatment than family practitioners……”. This would elicit a “Tell me something I don’t already know” response from readers of this blog in many cases. However, when you read further you realize that this article doesn’t really provide an answer to that question. The researchers determined knowledge deficiency in these two groups of do...

Bob DeMarco Alzheimer's Reading Room Editor Many people assume that if an older person becomes forgetful and can no longer deal with some of the basic activities of daily living, he or she must be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. This is often the case, but not always. I often receive emails from someone telling me their loved one was misdiagnosed by a personal care physician. I write repeatedly about the importance of getting a specialist involved when the primary doctor diagnoses dementia or Alzheimer's. When a person receives a diagnosis of cancer they seek out an oncologist for treatment. The same can be said of a long li...

Last week I reviewed USBMIS´s SkinDx for Palm OS, a high quality product made by this company. Now they have kindly provided us with a full copy of Current Consult Medicine 2007 for Palm OS, so we can again analyze one of their products. As you all know, there is also a print version of this same book (with 1300 pages and in the $60-70 price range). At the same time both are based on “Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment 2007”, one of the top clinical references nowadays. It is important for the busy clinician with a PDA (as many of us are) , to have a reference that provides only the right amount of information without sacrificing important stuff in order to be used during clinical rounds or outpatient settings (after all, the deep research on a topic usually its d...
