This document discusses how medical students should interact with social networking sites professionally. It notes that while 75% of medical students have Facebook profiles, interactions on social media can jeopardize patients' confidentiality and the doctor-patient relationship if not managed carefully. The document advocates introducing a module in undergraduate medical education to teach students how to manage their digital footprint and reduce risks to confidentiality posed by social media use. The goal would be for students to harness social media's potential while maintaining professional standards of conduct online.
Integrating Twitter into an Undergraduate Medical Curriculum: Lessons for the...Annalisa Manca
This is the presentation of a conference paper I delivered with @e_hothersall at ECEL2014, the 13th European conference on e-Learning, in Copenhagen, the 31st October 2014.
We describe the development, pedagogical underpinning and evaluation (via SNA and narrative analysis) of a Twitter-based educational intervention we ran in 2012 and 2013 for Public Health teaching.
Contact me if you would like to read the paper.
The document discusses Twitter and its uses for medical education. It provides examples of medical schools, hospitals, organizations and journals using Twitter. It describes how Twitter can be used to make announcements, help students study, gather and share resources, promote activities, and network. Faculty and students can use Twitter to collaborate, take polls, share resources and pictures, and brainstorm. Tools like TweetDeck and Seesmic can make using Twitter easier.
This document discusses how social media has impacted education. It begins with an agenda outlining how it will examine the timeline of social media, its effects on education, and how schools can integrate it. Both positive and negative effects are explored, such as increased collaboration versus distraction. The conclusion acknowledges the debate around social media's influence but suggests we must find ways to maximize the benefits while reducing the drawbacks as it continues growing in education.

Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) is a radio broadcast technology widely used in Europe and asian regions. Despite the popularity, there is no open-source tool that allows the transmission of arbitrary data over DAB.
Most of the currently existing professional Software Defined Radio (SDR) transceivers are capable to encode and pack raw DAB data in hardware like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).
Affordable DAB receivers that do not support hardware decoding produce just complex Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) samples. There exists therefore a large gap for third party applications that want to use DAB to transmit and receive arbitrary data.
The aim of this thesis is to find ways in which third party applications can easily use DAB to communicate. Apart from a review of possible solutions, we provide an open-source tool set that can be used for this purpose. It was especially challenging to obtain the performance necessary for this application.

Digital Social Networking & Health Care EducationDominick Maino
Will learning in a socially interconnected, digital environment lead to a more personal approach toward acquiring knowledge? Will this allow our students to learn professionalism and ethics appropriately? Or will it all become a collection of online connected “National Enquirers” of sensationalism with a total lack of regard for personal privacy and standards expected from a more genteel and civilized society? Will the schools and colleges of optometry use cyber-socializing for research, student recruitment, and fund raising? It is obvious there are numerous questions. Who will do the research?

Social media: the way forward or a waste of time for physicians? - M DeCamp ...Giuseppe Fattori
Social media is everywhere; its use has grown exponentially over
recent years. The prevalence of these outlets for communication raises some
interesting and potentially risky issues for physicians. On the one hand, some
believe that physicians should have a strong social media presence and can
benefit greatly from access to a global community of peers and leaders through
blogs, online forums, Facebook, Twitter and other communication channels. Dr
Anne Marie Cunningham provides a strong case for the advantages of developing
networks and figuring out who and what to pay attention to online.
On the other hand however, others believe that the use of social media places
doctors at a professional and ethical risk and is essentially a waste of time for
the already time-pressured physician. Professor DeCamp argues that the risks of
social media outweigh their benefits.
This document provides guidelines for medical practitioners and students on maintaining professionalism when using social media and online platforms. It discusses the need to be careful about confidentiality and what information is shared online to avoid identifying patients or making defamatory comments. It also addresses maintaining appropriate boundaries, such as not connecting with current or former patients on social media. The document provides examples of issues that could arise and damage careers and provides tips for managing privacy settings and limiting the accessibility of personal information online.
This document discusses social media and its use in healthcare. It begins with learning objectives about characterizing web 2.0 features, describing current social media trends among healthcare professionals and patients, and applying social media knowledge to education and professional development. It then outlines topics like web 2.0, how social media is used by patients and healthcare professionals, popular social media tools, and how to get involved. Examples provided include how social media empowers patients to be more engaged partners in their healthcare, the rise of medical apps and online courses, and Twitter thought leaders and hashtags to follow.
This document discusses social networking and medicine. It begins with a warning that social media is disruptive technology. It then lists objectives for the session such as defining social media, listing ways patients and clinicians use social media, and identifying guidelines for physician use of social media. The document discusses major social media sites and how physicians can use them to connect with patients and other doctors. It also addresses managing your online reputation as a physician and providing strategies for appropriate social media use.
Social media is becoming increasingly important in the medical field. While some doctors are slow to adopt social media, medical schools are now teaching students how to properly use social media in their practices. Social media allows doctors to connect with existing patients and attract new ones. It provides a way for doctors to share medical updates and advice and build relationships with patients. Although some doctors worry about privacy and professionalism, social media can enhance a practice if used appropriately. The majority of adults now use social media, so it remains an effective way for doctors to communicate with patients of all ages.
Doctors who use social media not only can spread the word about new medical updates, treatments or other relevant news, but also specific information about their practices. Dr. Howard Luks, an orthopedic surgeon, says: “Only the oil refinery business lags behind health care in digital media adoption.” For doctors, it is no longer practical not to have an online presence. While it might seem foolish to be updating a Facebook page or uploading YouTube videos, there are plenty of advantages.
This document discusses the potential benefits of physicians using social media and engaging patients. It outlines how social media can enhance patient engagement, be used in medical education, and provide a return on investment. Some key points include:
- Social media allows bidirectional communication between patients, doctors, and other stakeholders.
- It can help empower patients and move towards a health 2.0 model with more engaged patients.
- Physicians should consider using social media to engage with patients, enhance their expertise, and stay relevant in an increasingly digital world.
- There are opportunities to use social media in medical education and for collaborations, but privacy and professionalism must be considered.
Professional use of social media by medical students - 2016Pat Rich
The document discusses the potential uses of social media in medical education. It begins with introducing the speaker and objectives of discussing social media tools like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn in medical education. It then discusses some case studies of how social media was used at medical conferences and in medical discussions. The document outlines challenges of using social media like impact on patients, liability and privacy issues. It discusses the changing views of medical students and educators on social media and provides suggestions for appropriate social media use in medical school like having separate accounts for classmates and professional networking.
Canadian physicians and social media: a surveyPat Rich
The document discusses a survey of Canadian physicians on their use and attitudes regarding social media. The survey found that about half of physicians have a Facebook account but few use social media professionally. Physicians identified privacy, security, and time constraints as barriers. While most felt social media poses risks, nearly half believed it increases public medical knowledge. Younger physicians were more positive about social media's role in healthcare. The survey results will help inform new Canadian Medical Association guidelines on social media use by physicians.
This document outlines a workshop series aimed at educating college students on protecting their cyber reputation by discovering, creating, and maintaining a positive online presence through proper use of social media and awareness of the long term effects their digital footprint can have on academic and professional pursuits. The workshops cover finding one's online information, privacy settings on Facebook, creating a LinkedIn profile, and removing unwanted cyber content to help students understand and manage their cyber reputation.

Major types include ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthropathy, reactive arthritis, and enteropathic arthritis. They often present with enthesitis, uveitis, and spondylitis and are treated with NSAIDs, DMARDs, anti-TNF drugs, or surgery depending on the specific condition and symptoms.
Lung cancer is classified into two main types - non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC makes up about 80% of cases and can be further divided into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma, and large cell carcinoma. SCLC accounts for 10-15% of lung cancers and grows more quickly. The main symptoms are cough, chest pain, and coughing up blood. Risk factors include smoking, asbestos exposure, and radiation exposure. Diagnosis involves tests such as sputum analysis, biopsies, CT scans, and PET scans to determine the cancer type and stage. Treatment options depend on the cancer type and stage but may include surgery, chemotherapy
Eczema herpeticum is a potentially life-threatening herpes infection that occurs when herpes simplex virus infects disrupted skin in patients with pre-existing skin conditions like eczema or atopic dermatitis. It presents with clusters of vesicles and punched-out erosions that spread and become hemorrhagic and crusted. Diagnosis involves identifying characteristic lesions along with fever and pain, and can be confirmed with tests like Tzanck smear, viral culture, or antibody testing. Aggressive treatment with IV acyclovir is required to prevent complications like herpes keratitis, which can lead to blindness. Early recognition and effective antiviral therapy are important given the potential severity of eczema her
The vagus nerve connects organs in the neck and below to the brainstem. It has both sensory and motor functions and helps control the heart rate, digestion, and other involuntary processes. Stimulation of the vagus nerve has been shown to reduce seizures, experimental pain, and inflammation, and may help treat conditions like epilepsy, obesity, and heart disease. Damage to the vagus nerve or its connections in the brainstem can impact swallowing, heart rate variability, and level of consciousness.
Poor water and sanitation are responsible for a huge global burden of disease, with contaminated water alone contributing to about 2.4 million preventable deaths per year, mainly in children. While progress has been made in increasing access to safe water and improved sanitation, current rates of progress will not meet the Millennium Development Goal targets. Water and sanitation remain a low priority on international development agendas despite their importance for health and achieving the MDGs. Coordinated efforts are still needed to address this critical issue.
This document discusses medical student electives in developing countries. It notes potential benefits like exposure to rare diseases and personal growth, but also flags ethical issues. Electives could exploit local health systems and raise false expectations. They may perpetuate neo-colonial practices by benefiting students and health systems in wealthy countries more than local populations. The document also examines how non-governmental organizations can undermine public health systems and calls for electives to minimize harm, respect local needs, and establish long-term exchange programs to provide mutual benefit.
This document provides an overview of global health by defining key terms, outlining major players and organizations, and summarizing the history and evolution of the field from 1945 to the present day. It describes how global health has shifted from a focus on infectious disease control to addressing social determinants of health and health issues that transcend national borders. Major milestones discussed include the founding of the UN and WHO, the Alma-Ata Declaration, structural adjustment policies, the Millennium Declaration and MDGs, debt relief campaigns, and the establishment of the Global Fund. The summary highlights the ongoing tension between disease-specific and comprehensive primary healthcare approaches.
The document discusses how international organizations like the WTO and treaties it has established like TRIPS and GATS impact healthcare. The WTO aims to liberalize trade and its dispute process enforces agreements. TRIPS established intellectual property standards that require drug patenting, raising prices. Some countries like Brazil and South Africa have issued compulsory licenses to produce cheaper generics, facing opposition from pharmaceutical companies but helping improve access to treatment.
Global health examines influences on health across borders, including issues like globalization, poverty, and human rights. It draws from multiple disciplines. Globalization refers to reducing barriers between countries, leading to increased trade, investment, and communication. This has effects like economic growth but also rising inequalities. Agreements like TRIPS have increased pharmaceutical patent protection globally, raising concerns about access to medicines, especially in developing countries. Networks of both commercial and civil society actors have been important in debates over balancing intellectual property with public health.
Migration of health care workers has both positive and negative effects on health. It reduces the availability of health services in source countries while increasing access in destination countries. This unequal distribution of health workers is driven by push factors like low pay and poor working conditions in source countries and pull factors like higher wages in destination countries. As a result, source countries experience worse health outcomes due to lack of health workers, while destination countries receive an indirect subsidy through the receipt and employment of trained medical professionals from poorer nations. Proposed policy responses aim to strengthen health systems in source countries, implement ethical recruitment practices, and foster partnerships between nations to promote more equitable health worker distribution.
Global institutions play major roles in health financing and policy. The key players discussed are the World Health Organization (WHO), World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF), and World Trade Organization (WTO). The WHO is the UN agency for health, working with 192 member states. The World Bank aims to reduce poverty through loans and policy advice to developing countries. The IMF promotes international monetary cooperation and provides temporary financial assistance. The WTO, formed in 1995, ensures trade flows freely through treaties and enforcement mechanisms, which some criticize can undermine public health systems.
Haemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by excessive iron accumulation in the body. It affects around 0.5% of Caucasians and usually presents in the 40s-50s with a triad of pigmentation, diabetes mellitus, and hepatomegaly. Diagnosis involves blood tests showing elevated serum iron, transferrin saturation over 50%, and elevated serum ferritin. Liver biopsy can confirm iron deposition and damage. Treatment aims to reduce iron stores through weekly venesection of 1 unit of blood for 6-12 months followed by maintenance venesection.
Ascites is an abnormal collection of fluid in the peritoneal cavity, commonly caused by portal hypertension due to cirrhosis. It results from sodium and water retention triggered by vasodilation and activation of the renin-angiotensin system, as well as increased hydrostatic pressure and transudation of fluid from the liver and spleen into the peritoneal cavity. Hypoalbuminemia due to decreased liver function also contributes by reducing plasma oncotic pressure. Spironolactone is used as treatment as it is an aldosterone antagonist. Management involves dietary sodium restriction, diuretics, stopping alcohol, monitoring for complications, and procedures such as paracentesis or shunts.
The liver has two lobes, separated by veins, and is divided into sections supplied by individual blood vessels. Blood flows through hepatic arteries and portal veins into sinusoids, where waste is filtered by Kupffer cells in the space of Disse before draining into hepatic veins. The liver performs many functions including synthesizing proteins, metabolizing carbohydrates and lipids, and detoxifying hormones and drugs. Liver function can be assessed through blood tests of enzymes and proteins.
Antidepressants such as SSRIs, TCAs, and MAOIs work by increasing levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, or both in the brain. SSRIs are generally first-line treatment and safer in overdose than TCAs, but TCAs may be better for severe depression. Both classes of drugs can cause side effects like dry mouth, nausea, and sexual dysfunction. Antidepressants may take 10-20 days to work and should be continued for at least 6 months after symptoms improve to prevent relapse. Combining certain antidepressants can be dangerous due to increased serotonin levels.
Gout is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joints, which leads to acute inflammation. It typically presents as sudden severe pain, swelling and redness in one joint, most commonly the big toe. Diagnosis is made based on symptoms and identification of crystals in joint fluid under polarized microscopy. Treatment involves medications to reduce symptoms during acute attacks as well as long-term drugs like allopurinol or probenecid to lower uric acid levels and prevent future episodes. Without treatment, gout can progress to a chronic stage with multiple joint involvement and growth of tophi deposits in the tissues.
Review of orthopaedic services: Prepared for the Auditor General for Scotland...meducationdotnet
1. Orthopaedics is a large specialty that treats musculoskeletal conditions through surgery, medication, and rehabilitation. It accounts for a significant portion of NHS spending and activity in Scotland.
2. Waiting times for orthopaedic services have reduced in recent years through changes to service delivery and additional funded activity. However, further improvements to meet 18-week referral targets will be challenging to sustain.
3. There is variation in orthopaedic efficiency across Scotland that is not fully explained by resources or procedures. The report finds opportunities to use existing resources more efficiently through measures like increasing day surgery and reducing hospital length of stay.
This document discusses the use of muscle relaxants in anesthesia and the potential role of sugammadex as a reversal agent. It provides background on why muscle relaxants are used, types of muscle relaxants, and current problems with reversal agents. It then summarizes research on sugammadex, which appears to be a more effective reversal agent than anticholinesterases, allowing faster recovery from neuromuscular blockade. Sugammadex may allow safer use of muscle relaxants and replace agents like suxamethonium, but economic factors will also influence its adoption.
