Medical school and unreliable info on the web
Hello,
Bran new medical student here. I am curious to know how to discern whether the information that I find online regarding diseases, treatment and such is reliable. For instance, I need to find information on a given disease and of course my first step involves Google. However, I have been told that sites such as Wikipedia may not be the best source to find accurate information, yet, that is always the first and most concise site I find and this frustrates me because I do not know if...

ranalozine
a/c to FA: inhibits later Na currents, decreasing diastolic wall tensoin and 02 consumption. wiki: inhibits na currents, which decreases intracellular ca2+(wont reach the voltage needed for opneing of ca2+ channels im assuming?) how would it decrease diastolic wall tension? and all of its SE are related to anticholinergic activity ie qt prolongated and constipation. Can anyone clear this up? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Hot Seat gone at Wash U!
Just found out that the place where I did my surg path fellowship no longer has the vaunted "hot seat" rotation as part of its surgical pathology fellowship:
http://pathinfo.wikia.com/wiki/Washington_University/B-JH/SLCH_Consortium_Program
In addition, attendings now sign out all frozen sections during regular working hours; fellows only sign out after hours/weekend frozens.
This is too bad: my greatest criticism of pathology training is the relatively minimal degree of...

Trying to dig into HOW(mechanism) things happen in pathology
So I realized that learning "HOW" part of pathogenesis or pathophysiology is crucial in learning but there are many times I waste a lot of time trying to find out how things happen instead of just memorizing it as it is.
How do you guys approach this? Do you guys find it worth to look over Uptdoate or wiki to make sure to learn how things happen? There also a lot of times where I spend so much time to just learn that mechanism is poorly understood. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

anesthetic potency and lipid solubility
What's the relationship between anesthetic potency and lipid solubility? DIT (maybe FA too? I'm not sure... I annotated everything together) said that the more lipid soluble an anesthetic is, the more potent it is. This is supported by: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theori...rrelation_.28the_Meyer-Overton_correlation.29
However, UW seems quite happy making questions (QID 660, 851) that emphasize the fact that...

Is this diagram accurate?
I don't think it is because there doesn't appear to be any N-acetyl-beta-D-galactosamine component (it appears to have been replaced by a D-glucose).
I think Kaplan took this particular image off wikipedia.
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

New Site Coming Soon
Hi my friends!
As I was reading through the threads this morning (my initial activity for the last 20 years!) I came across CFinTX question and I thought this would be a good time to reply to his question about the Pyrtze email sent out so here goes:
Great Question CFinTX!
Back in 1996 when I bought the domain: CysticFibrosis.com and (my partner had CF), I imagined a center for everything CF.
That would include patients, caregivers, family members, partners, HCPs and Industry Leaders.
We started with pretty simple message boards. The threads were entitled Patients and Families.
In 2003, we got ...
