What many people may not be aware of is that such nebulizer treatments can also potentially be used for chronic sinus infections. One of the best known companies offering such treatment is Sinus Dynamics. Using one of several different nebulizers, compounded liquid medications (antibiotics and/or steroids) selected by the physician are nebulized/atomized which the patient then breathes into the nasal passages. The small size of the particles allow medication to theoretically move through the tiniest of sinus openings directly onto the infected tissue. Treatments are quick generally lasting 3 – 5 minutes (depending on medication and device). Here’s a vid...

These scenarios are often manifestations of the illusion of confidence. Confidence is often considered a “true” signal of the extent of one’s memory, knowledge, skill, and ability.  However, confidence is often misleading and not congruent with ability.  This type of unwarranted confidence leads to “epistemic irrationality,” or more commonly known as simply delusion and self-deception. The illusion of confidence has two distinct but related aspects.  Fi...

This will have huge implications for local businesses, including hospitals, medical practices and other healthcare providers. Let’s look at the implications and opportunities that the adoption of this technology will have for medical providers. What are game dynamics? If you’ve got 10 minutes, you may want to watch the highly distributed TED video “The Game Layer on Top of the World” (scroll to the bottom of this article for the video). In short, it’s just a fancy name for a range of incentives that reward desired behavior. We’ve had game dynamics in the “real world” for a long time, but it has recently been taken to ...

Within its pages, you will discover the cause of emotionally impaired families. You will learn how unhealthy rules of behavior are passed down from parents to children, and the destructive effect this process has on our society. Using the latest family research and recovery material in this new edition, Bradshaw also explores the individual in both a family and societal setting. He shows you ways to escape the tyranny of family-reinforced behavior traps–from addiction and co-dependency to loss of will and denial–and demonstrates how to make conscious c...

I used to get supercomputing time to do 100 ns simulations during my PhD and those used to last days, but that’s exactly what NAMD has achieved recently. A recent review article by the folks at D.E. Shaw Research lays down the state of protein simulations. To put the 100 ns in context. That simulation was done on 300 cores. Given that you can get 1000 cores increasingly easily, that’s 1000 ns in 3.3. days assuming linear scaling. So when D.E. Shaw and co write that microsecond simulations are getting practical (increasingly feasible would be a better statement), they’re not just saying that. I think if access to 3000 cores and these compute scales becomes ... business|bytes|genes|molecules blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2512436 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:49:30 +0100 2512436 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2424171&cid=t_190383_107_f&fid=36698&url=http%3A%2F%2Fminingdrugs.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F05%2Fpeer-recognition-and-building.html "Experts will want to contribute to coworkers who need them, who will hear them, who will respect them and who may even thank them. ... Rather than asking, How do we incentivise people to share their knowledge? It would be more useful to ask, How do we develop relationships across the globe that will set in motion more knowledge sharing?"

It’s not surprising that it was complicated and beyond comprehension, the way fluids (gases and liquids by definition) move is not simple. There is no single, straightforward equation that can describe the flow of water cascading down waterfall. No clear-cut algorithm can determine exactly how oil will flow in an Alaskan pipeline. Mathematics and science struggle to predict the precise path of hurricanes and tornadoes. And, even tracking a water drop trickling down the back of Jeff Goldblum’s hand is off-limits. And, if you’ve ever tried to explain to a child how a plane becomes airborne and once at altitude doesn’t just fall out of the sky you ...

The World Class Commissioning initiative provides a major opportunity for Trusts to transform care services and develop new ways of maximising the value of limited healthcare budgets. While Trusts wait for the WCC Assurance Framework, there are many ways to start planning the transition to World Class Commissioning. Evidence-based analysis of population requirements, how money has been spent and how other organisations are approaching commissioning is a key starting point. In this interview, Andrew Beale, Executive Director of Matrix Knowledge Group consultancy, discusses how evidence-based analysis can help Trusts to better understand their current position, population healthcare patterns and to...

Trapped in the USA is a blog from a postdoc at UCSF. Bosco looks like a multi-talented sort of bloke, and has some of his own programs. I found his blog via a search on Lijit. It’s the search box on my the sidebar, which allows you to search my network and content, including this blog and some others. Very cool. The reason that Bosco’s blog caught my attention? Lots of movies of MD simulations. Ah makes one nostalgic.
