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...

Facebook Graph Search in Medicine
Everyone has heard about the new Graph Search function on Facebook. It says “Want to start a book club or find a gym buddy? Connect with friends who like the same activities—and meet new people, too.” It will let Facebook users do searches by choosing different parameters (e.g. who goes to the same gym as me and is single).
Well, many bloggers are optimistic about this launch and think it will be used in medicine too. I don’t think so and everyone should hope I’ll be right. It’s fun to identify friends in my community who I share the same multiple interests with (e.g. sci-fi and reading book...

Comparing image search behaviour in the ARRS GoldMiner search engine and a clinical PACS/RIS
Publication date: Available online 19 May 2015 Source:Journal of Biomedical Informatics Author(s): Maria De-Arteaga , Ivan Eggel , Bao Do , Daniel Rubin , Charles E. Kahn Jr. , Henning Müller Information search has changed the way we manage knowledge and the ubiquity of information access has made search a frequent activity, whether via Internet search engines or increasingly via mobile devices. Medical information search is in this respect no different and much research has been devoted to analyzing the way in which physicians aim to access information. Medical image search is a much smaller domain but has gained much ...

MLA Behind the Scenes: Search for New MLA Executive Director
As you all know, Carla Funk, the Executive Director of MLA is retiring. So we must search for a new person for the position. I thought I would provide an update on the search for those of you who didn’t see the update published in the September 25 MLA Focus.
(Completed)
The search committee first worked on selecting an executive search firm to help us with the process for filling the position. The search committee sent out several request for proposals (RFPs) to reputable search firms who specialize in the area of finding executive directors for associations. We reviewed the completed and returned proposals and...

Towards Identifying and Reducing the Bias of Disease Information Extracted from Search Engine Data
by Da-Cang Huang, Jin-Feng Wang, Ji-Xia Huang, Daniel Z. Sui, Hong-Yan Zhang, Mao-Gui Hu, Cheng-Dong Xu
The estimation of disease prevalence in online search engine data (e.g., Google Flu Trends (GFT)) has received a considerable amount of scholarly and public attention in recent years. While the utility of search engine data for disease surveillance has been demonstrated, the scientific community still seeks ways to identify and reduce biases that are embedded in search engine data. The primary goal of this study is to explore new ways of improving the accuracy of disease prevalence estimations by combining traditional d...

Brain Citrullination Patterns and T Cell Reactivity of Cerebrospinal Fluid-Derived CD4+ T Cells in Multiple Sclerosis
We report many of them for the first time. For the already described citrullinated proteins MBP, GFAP, and vimentin, we could identify additional citrullinated sites. The number of modified proteins in MS white matter was higher than control tissue. Citrullinated peptides are considered neoepitopes that may trigger autoreactivity. We used newly identified epitopes and previously reported immunodominant myelin peptides in their citrullinated and non-citrullinated form to address the recognition of CSF-infiltrating CD4+ T cells from 22 MS patients by measuring proliferation and IFN-γ secretion. We did not detect ...

Metadata Madness
Over the last year my library has been working on implementing a discovery product for our community hospitals’ website and it has been quite an adventure.
We wanted to create a better website to help unlock the siloed information that our library subscribes to. Library users have no clue that Hurst’s the Heart, is only available electronically via McGraw Hill. They could check the catalog, but they don’t. They go on to the library website and type the title in the search box. Now, as librarians, we know that unless you have a discovery system for that search box, the results come from the content on ...

CDC Reports Flu Widespread, Google Search Trends Alarming
According to new surveillance statistics released on Friday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), forty-seven states in the U.S. are now reporting widespread influenza activity [1]. The virus, which first appeared in the Southeast, has reached epidemic levels.
Forty-seven states have reported widespread geographic influenza activity (i.e. incidence of flu) for the week between December 30, 2012 and January 5, 2013, and twenty-four states and New York City have reported high influenza-like illness (ILI) activity (i.e. the proportion of outpatient visits to healthcare providers for influenza-like illne...

Effect of motor tasks with left monocular eyeglasses on visual search and line-bisection performance in people with left unilateral spatial neglect
In this study, we examine the effect of motor tasks with left/right monocular eyeglasses on visual search and line-bisection performance in people with left USN. Seven participants with left USN admitted to convalescent hospitals were included. We conducted the Bells test, line-crossing test, and line-bisection test of the behavioral inattention test before/after the motor task. Our analyses focused on the improvement or decline in these assessment scores and the achievement/errors/non-smoothness scores of the motor task. When using the left monocular eyeglasses, the percentages of participants categorized as "improvement,...
