LITFL Search
The problem with providing education in the hospital environment is the persistent and unwarranted use of Internet Explorer which acts like a cubist Picasso converter to contort the website into a random series of incoherent text boxes
Review of the old site highlighted a few functionality issues. One of the most frustrating elements of moving to a scalable mobile responsive design was the dropdown menus. We had far too much information crammed into an unpredictable space which was only intermittently visible…so they have been discarded with the new build.
We have decided to run with ‘single menu tabs’ li...

Visual search in breast imaging: A review.
Abstract
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females worldwide and large volumes of breast images are produced and interpreted annually. As long as radiologists interpret these images, the diagnostic accuracy will be limited by human factors and both false-positive and false-negative errors might occur. By understanding visual search in breast images, we may be able to identify causes of diagnostic errors, find ways to reduce them, and also provide a better education to radiology residents. Many visual search studies in breast radiology have been devoted to mammography. These studies showed that 70% of m...

Sensitive Versus Specific Search Strategy to Answer Clinical Questions.
CONCLUSION: The sensitive search located the same eight studies and one additional study. If PubMed instead of MEDLINE had been used in the specific search, the results would have been identical. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(1):22-25.].

Correlates of Google Search Rankings for Spine Surgeons: An Analysis of Academic Pedigree, Social Media Presence, and Patient Ratings
Conclusions.
Google search rankings do not always align with patient preferences, currently promoting orthopedic over neurosurgical specialists, graduation from top residency programs, and board certification, while largely ignoring academic pedigree, research, social media presence, and online ratings.

When adults without university education search the Internet for health information: The roles of Internet-specific epistemic beliefs and a source evaluation intervention
In conclusion, the present research indicates that both adaptive Internet-specific beliefs and a short source evaluation intervention have positive effects on non-university educated adults’ online health information seeking and that their Internet-specific epistemic beliefs can be fostered through such an intervention.

The Search for the Elusive Elixir of Life
By TOM EMERICK
Here’s the executive summary: Most disease and health spending is age-related. As we age we get infirmities ranging from dementia to cancer to vascular disease. Nothing can prevent aging. Period. For millennia mankind has been been on a futile search to prevent aging.

EBM II: How to perform a literature search
Present article is a second part related to EBM in a series of five by the ESPU research committee. It will present the different databases/search engines available to clinicians and researchers, and describe strategies to focus the search to one ’s particular needs. Indeed, databases/search engines used and search strategy should vary according to the goal of the research. If aim is to address a clinical problem, the search should allow to identify a small number of most pertinent articles (high specificity); if the search is for research purposes, instead, it should ensure no meaningful articles are overlooked (high sensitivity).

FindZebra: A Search Engine That Diagnoses Rare Diseases
The Danish researchers behind FindZebra would not be happy about my title as they published a warning on the top of their search engine with the message: “This is a research project to be used only by medical professionals.” This search engine only uses medical databases similarly to SciencerollSearch and named the rare disease correctly after entering the symptoms 67% of the time, compared to 32% using Google.
I think educating both patients and medical professionals about the proper use of search engines and operators would provide even better results.
Here is their description.
There are close to 7,000 rar...

Epilepsy: social media and the Internet. {inverted question}To search or not to search? (P3.233)
Conclusions:The media and social networks are transcendent tools but their use should be responsible and regulated. While about 70% of those surveyed seek for information about epilepsy, 31.9% are aware that there is information provided by official agencies and about 50% of them control the information obtained with their neurologist. This should encourage clinicians to maximize efforts for more and better disclosure of information.Disclosure: Dr. Thomson has nothing to disclose. Dr. Molina Melendres has nothing to disclose.

Authorship Order in Medical Education Publications: In Search of Practical Guidance for the Community.
This study describes principles commonly applied to authorship order decisions within the medical education community and educators' opinions about the significance of authorship order. Approach: A questionnaire was developed to ascertain current practices related to authorship decisions. Sixteen items were rated in terms of frequency of actual use and the desirability of the practice using a 4-point rating scale: 1 (never), 2 (sometimes), 3 (often), and 4 (always). Additional questions addressed the perceived significance of authorship order. The last set of questions provided information about respondents' personal and c...

Challenges in the diagnosis of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy
ConclusionsAdherence to EFNS/PNS CIDP diagnostic and treatment guidelines in the general neurologic community was poor. Improved education and awareness of widely available CIDP guidelines are recommended.
Diagnosing chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) can be challenging. We observed that within the general community adherence to European Federation of Neurological Societies/Peripheral Nerve Society (EFNS/PNS) CIDP diagnostic and treatment guidelines was poor. Improved education and awareness of widely available CIDP guidelines are recommended.
