This lecture was given by Linda Worley, MD who is a psychiatry professor at UAMS.  She is a good speaker, easy to understand, engages the crowd, and knows her subject. My only complaint would be that it focused only the “angry” or “frustrated” physicians who exhibit unprofessional behavior and did not include the ones whom you suspect might be difficult due to impairment (illness, drugs, alcohol). Difficult colleagues can impact a team (in office, OR, or hospital) by creating low morale, high staff turnover, inefficiency, decreased patient satisfaction, increase...

These con men, as I shall hereafter refer to them in blog postings — except in the instances where they are con women — all have names in languages and traditions that are not what they grew up in. I’ve been guilty of this sort of thing myself. An allegedly Zen practitioner once gave me a Japanese Zen name, but I can’t remember what it was. I even once had a Hebrew name which was so freaking silly that I ain’t gonna mention it here. No sir. Not even if you ask.

Breastfeeding: Methods, Benefits to the Infant and Mother, and Difficulties (Pregnancy and Infants: Medical, Psychological and Social Issues) ~ Wilma G.

Once again, the New Jersey legislature is being urged to pass a bill requiring a doctor or nurse to obtain informed consent from a minor’s parent before writing a prescription for any psychotropic that already carries a Black Box warning. The issue first emerged in the wake of the controversy over links between antidepressants and suicidal behavior in teens. As with two previous efforts, the initiative is being pushed by several parents who believe that FDA-mandated Med Guides for antidepressants are insufficient. Their earlier attempts were thwarted by a state senator who repeatedly blocked introduction (see here and here), but the Senate health committee now has a new chair. The bill was recently introduced in the assembly and Senate support is bei...

Most of the Q&A focuses on psychic development and communicating with spirit guides, including the benefits and pitfalls of receiving guidance from non-physical entities. We also discuss overcoming blocks to financial abundance near the end of the interview. If you’re convinced there’s no such thing as psychic abilities, you can safely skip this interview because it won’t likely do much for you. This video is geared more toward people who already have some experiences with psychic phenomena as well as skeptics who are curious about this topic and want to learn more. By ...

Not only it delivers the latest Tarascon drug index but also it sports some very useful tools and a real multi drug interactions analyzer. However, the app did not qualify as an all-in-one application since it does not include a disease and labs reference. Have a look here; An intuitive design with a single page interface where all venues can be accessed. The pharmacological index is the latest with frequent updates as the device is docked and synced. However, we’d wish to see a direct in-device Wifi update which would make the update process much easier. Pediatricians may find this app very handy as it appropriately includes pediatric dosing and also calculators and tools that are needed at the poin...

The PDA version is supplied by USBMIS and no other developer ever seems to have the copyright. In fact, SG has been the hallmark that distinguished USBMIS from the beginning. So here’s how it looks; As we can see above, the home screen has two major portals either a direct search or a link to the table of contents. The reference is updated annually and it includes all the detailed information that we ever dreamed to have about antibiotics with relevant clinical applications.

The latest and most up to date copy is now available native on the iPhone and iPod Touch. We’ve talked about Davis’s Drug Guide from Unbound Medicine in a previous post, this one from Skyscape is essentially the same and is even sold at the same price which is $50 for the standard edition. Here’s how it looks; So we are not going to repeat the merits of this popular Rx reference as we already mentioned that with the Unbound version, However, there are certain differences between the two that we need to examine: First: the biggest missing feature from Unbound’s version is the built-in drug dose calculators which is fortunately available in the Skyscape&#8...

It includes most of the commonly used pediatric medications in US and Canadian brand names and generics. Have a look here; The book also includes some useful appendices such as immunizations schedules, pregnancy categories, drug classes and others and it can also be purchased in paper from Amazon.com. It seems that it is not so frequently updated as the original handbook is still in the first edition and the immunizations schedule included is that of 2004! It has no drug interaction analyzer but drug interactions information is mentioned as a specific field with each drug entry.

The study, Expert and Consumer Evaluation of Consumer Medication Information, showed that 94 percent of consumers received the handouts with new prescriptions, only about 75 percent of the info met the minimum criteria for usefulness as defined by a panel of stakeholders. In 1996, Congress called for 95 percent of all new prescriptions to be accompanied by useful CMI by 2006, the FDA notes. “The current voluntary system has failed to provide consumers with the quality information they need in order to use medicines effectively and safely,” Janet Woo...

The plaintiffs allege Accutane caused them to develop IBD and Roche sought a summary judgement to dismiss the litigation, arguing that a patient medication guide adopted in January 2001 made warnings about IBD adequate, according to Mealey’s. But Superior Court Judge Carol Higbee agreed with the plaintiffs that the language of the med guide does not mention IBD. “In fact, the new language refers generally to ‘the liver, pancreas, and bowel,’ ” she wrote. “It is so general it co...

So, after careful research, I present a brief but completely accurate portrayal of the major brands of future mental health nurses for anyone considering doing their nurse training. Students generally fall into two main groups; college-fresh and ‘matured’. College-fresh Can be sub-divided into: A: Keen, eager to learn, start assignments the day they are handed out and get excellent marks. Very rare. Also very, very irritating to work with. Almost never seen in the pub between lectures. B: Average student. Wandered into nursing with a vague idea that it is a job for life and because they don’t want to sit behind a desk all day.

Hotelsbycity.net is one such hotel guide and it’s easy to use. One just has to input the day of check-in and possible checkout, the number of adults who’ll be staying and the number of rooms one wish to reserve. The site also has a wide coverage, as it also provides guides for many different cities not only in the United States, but in Europe, Australia, and other major cities in the world.

The Internet has fundamentally changed the publishing model that authors, editors and publishers have followed for centuries. Information that took months or years to publish, edit and distribute in print is now produced and available to the public worldwide on an accelerated schedule. Despite changes brought by technology, the need to accurately cite the source of information for scholarly publication remains. And, while the need to cite remains, the challenges of collecting and reporting accurate, lasting citation information have increased tremendously. Electronic publishing creates new issues of impermanence that paper did not present. This guide helps authors c...
