Articles of Note: January Edition

January 9, 2012 | Leave a Comment

It’s time once again for Articles of Note. These are a selection from the late December and January peer-reviewed journals that have caught my attention. Remember, it’s in no way a comprehensive or exhaustive list, but it’s an excellent place to start. The majority of the links will take you to PubMed. There are also [...]

January 5, 2012 | Leave a Comment

I missed this offering when it was live, but happily for us, it’s been archived: The Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation held a webinar in November, Best Practices to Combat Child Trafficking. The archived webinar also includes downloadable slide decks from each of the 3 speakers, as well as a nice looking resource page.

Articles of Note: December Edition

December 5, 2011 | Leave a Comment

With it being a slow time of year for educational offerings, I’m thrilled the research journals hold some amazing treasures. This month feels particularly useful, especially if you’re a pediatrics person. As always, this is not a comprehensive overview of what’s newly out, but it is a good selection of late November and December articles [...]

Clinical Guide: HIV/AIDS and Violence

December 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment

December 1st is World AIDS Day. In honor of the day, aside from my trusty red ribbon, I have also created a new clinical guide to provide readers with some resources on HIV/AIDS and violence. As with all guides, this does not claim to be comprehensive; just a good starting place with some of the [...]

Making Your Case

November 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment

I almost titled this post, “Everything I need today can be found over at the RWJF site”, but I didn’t feel like it would really grab anyone’s interest. However, I spent a lot of time trawling through their Vulnerable Populations portfolio, and frankly, there are some tools there that could help us make the (stronger) [...]

I was perusing Medscape last night and noticed there are several items that may be worth your time, including several CE and CME offerings from October and November: Vodka Tampons to Get Drunk (Chief Complaint Blog) Sexual History of Adolescents in the Emergency Department (CME) (more after the jump)

Violence and the Nurses’ Health Study

November 14, 2011 | Leave a Comment

When I think about the research out there being done on the impact of violence on health, I typically don’t think of the Nurses’ Health Study. So I was surprised to see this article in HuffPo about the linkage between childhood abuse and heart disease, as presented at the American Heart Association meeting this past [...]

Mandatory Reporting

November 8, 2011 | Leave a Comment

In the wake of the serial child sexual abuse and assault being uncovered at Penn State, it seems prudent to make sure we all understand what our obligations are regarding reporting these types of crimes. Mind you, these are just our legal obligations. As we’ve seen in the Penn State case, doing the right thing is about [...]

CMEs, Scary ED Visits and Plenty More Violence

November 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment

A few things that have been piled up in my inbox that are worth mentioning. The first is a new CME offering (and really, Medscape, you could only manage to make this one for docs?): Domestic Violence Intervention Improves Referral, Disclosure Rates, based on research published this month in The Lancet.
