School Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility
To the delight of some and the dismay of others, the season of swimming and boating and fireworks and heat waves and mosquitoes is on its way out. (I fall into the “delight” category, in case you were wondering.) Before we know it, that first bell will ring and the fall school semester will be underway.
Though I’ve prioritized spending time with my kids and enjoying these last few relaxing and low-key summer days above all else, I realize that the time has come to begin preparations to send them back to school. There are clothes, shoes, backpacks, lunchboxes, and school supplies to purchase; orientations and meet-the...

Diagnosis of allergic rhinitis: inter‐rater reliability and predictive value of nasal endoscopic examination: a prospective observational study
ConclusionsPatient symptoms and nasal endoscopy findings do not provide reliable diagnosis of allergic rhinitis. Turbinate color and hypertrophy are believed to be related to allergic rhinitis; however, these were subject to marked inter‐rater variability in this study.This article is protected by copyright.

Seasonal variation, sub-type and prodromal illnesses in guillain-barre syndrome
Conclusions
In this study population, we demonstrated a significant Winter peak of GBS admissions, which we interpret as being related to the increased incidence of influenza–like illnesses. Possible factors in the significantly shorter hospital stay we observed during these peak times include less severe cases, or the increased preparedness of acute services.

A survey of advice on driving in neurological conditions amongst neurologists and neurosurgeons
Discussion
This survey demonstrated that the neurologists and neurosurgeons were not consistent in giving driving advice to patients with notifiable neurological conditions. A significant proportion of the sampled population admitted to never giving advice to patients who may not be fit to drive. Possible reasons include the lack of knowledge and limited time available for discussion especially in the outpatient setting. This highlights the urgent need to educate and update clinicians on current DVLA requirements. Recommendations include inviting a DVLA representative to give a talk regarding current driving regulations in...

Physicians' perception and attitude toward electronic medical record
Implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) system increases efficiency of health services, quality of care and patient satisfaction. Successful implementation of EMRs depends on many factors. The path to quality improvement and financial gain with EMRs lies in getting the greatest number of Physicians to use the system. The main objective of this research is to explore physicians, attitude and perceptions of importance EMRs function, anticipated utilization of EMR functions and also issue impact EMRs. The cross-sectional study was conducted on 133 specialist physicians of three teaching hospitals of Hormozgan Med...

Methodological rigor and reporting of clinical practice guidelines in patients with allergic rhinitis: QuGAR study
Conclusions: Guideline users should be aware of the difference in the rigor of development and quality of reporting of guidelines about the management of AR. They should choose higher-quality guidelines to use in their practice and teaching. For most reviewed guidelines, there is room for improvement, particularly in the domains of applicability and implementation.

Adherence to UK national guidance for discharge information: an audit in primary care
ConclusionsDespite clear guidance regarding the content of discharge information, omissions are frequent. Adherence to the NPC minimum dataset might be improved by using comprehensive electronic discharge templates and implementation of effective medicines reconciliation at both sides of the health interface.

Board #315 - Technology Innovation Assessing Parent Understanding of Asthma Action Plan Education Using Interactive Parent Quiz (Submission #8948).
Conclusion: This AAP Parent Quiz software tool is expected to improve communication between HCPs and parents using appropriate health literacy principles. This education tool will also educate parents on the AAP in case they missed instruction during verbal communication. Parents can use this tool at home any time as well. This interactive AAP parent quiz software will be implemented this summer to the parents who are waiting in the hospital, addressing the reduction/prevention of pediatric admissions due to asthma attacks. This intervention is expected to have a positive effect in achieving its primary goal of improving c...

Is A Specific Corticosteroid Better for Treatment of Asthma Than Another?
Discussion
Asthma is a chronic obstructive lung disease that affects many children and adults. There is a wide range of symptoms that people experience from occurring relatively rarely (ie intermittent asthma) to patients having daily symptoms of such intensity that they are life-threatening (ie chronic severe asthma). The goals of asthma management include patient education and medication management so patients have no or minimal symptoms, prevent exacerbations, have no activity restrictions, have normal pulmonary function tests, have no or minimal medication side effects and meet patient and family expectations. Well con...

Effectiveness of a computer module to augment the training of school staff in the management of students with food allergies
Food allergies have increased dramatically in children, affecting approximately 1 in 25 school-age children,1,2 with delays in treatment contributing to increased death,3 which can occur in school or daycare.4 The presence of nurses in schools varies greatly,5 suggesting a role for school staff with appropriate training. However, current training is informal and evidence-based training consistent with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines is scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based learning module as an additional teaching tool to increase the knowledge and...

"Half-baked research": MD degree does not teach doctors how to tweet scientific meetings
MD degree does not teach doctors how to tweet scientific meetings, reported Reuters (http://buff.ly/1xAOPkO): A study assessed the accuracy of tweets posted by physicians at a medical conference and concluded "it is very easy to misunderstand tone and brevity, so there are dangers here."First the study authors asked speakers at the meeting to identify key messages for their presentations. Then, they asked the speakers to review tweets posted during their talks to see how accurately these points were communicated. Duty calls.
