2 Comments on Clinical Guide: Consensual Sex Injury (Revised)

The original research grid I created on consensual sex injury while writing the book chapter on this topic has been updated many times. It’s been refreshed again, as I try to do regularly. If you want the word doc with links to the abstracts, please note it is available for purchase now at Scribd ($0.99), as it is incredibly labor intensive*. Otherwise, you can click the link to download the PDF of the research grid.

Gang Violence and Domestic Violence

Post author By Jen
Post date March 11, 2015

I’m always excited to see a topic being taught that doesn’t get a lot of airplay. We touch on this issue in the IPV courses I teach, but I rarely see anything available in depth. So I’m happy to post the National Alliance to end Domestic Abuse‘s upcoming webinar, Gang violence and Domestic Violence. It will be held March 19th from 12-1:30pm ET. Webinars are $25 if you aren’t a member of the Alliance. Click through for details:

I’m a bit of a sad panda, I must confess–I’m in San Antonio at JBSA for 2 full weeks, and while I love what I do for a living, it’s a pretty long time in a hotel (alone). After a false start yesterday, I finally made it down here today, and am fully settled in (Commissary–check; Class VI–check, check). It’ll be a fairly hectic couple of weeks, but I will do my best to keep the posts coming regularly. Let’s start with what’s caught my eye since last we spoke:

I don’t typically post jobs, but this is an interesting one, and I can’t help but think there might be an FHO reader or 2 interested in the gig: Physicians for Human Rights is looking for an NP or physician interested in working in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Click through for details.

Suicide Safe Launch (A New App)

Post author By Jen
Post date March 5, 2015

SAMHSA is hosting a webinar March 11th at 3:30pm ET to launch their free mobile app, Suicide Safe. It’s intended as a suicide prevention tool for behavioral health and primary care providers, but it certainly has relevance for the work we do, as well, since it provides guidance on suicide assessments and other prevention strategies.

Worthwhile Read: Predatory Publishing

Post author By Jen
Post date March 4, 2015

As I frequently mention here, just because something is available online doesn’t mean it’s quality. As professionals we’re obligated to evaluate our sources for scientific information, because in this day and age, there’s an abundance of information out there, not all of which is trustworthy.

I am late in getting this posted–usually I have these ready to go 1st thing in the morning or even the night before. But my day got away from me, and then I had the opportunity to spend the evening dining with most cherished friends, so apologies to those of you who went searching for this post earlier today.

Lousy weather made it a good weekend to read, compounded by a cross country flight on Friday (in the middle seat). On top of that, there never seems to be a shortage of things to fuel the outrage, So here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:

Perhaps you’ve already seen the trailer for The Hunting Ground, which is released today. I’m looking forward to seeing it. I am conflicted about the film makers previous work, but it certainly doesn’t dampen my enthusiasm for seeing this one.

10 Things: What I’ve Learned on the Road

4 Comments on 10 Things: What I’ve Learned on the Road

It’s been more than 3 years since I posted a 10 Things list about being on the road, so I figured it was time to update it. Since I’m heading to San Diego today, the timing fits. My spouse and I compare notes a lot about life as a travel hound, which got me thinking about my current list of lessons from the road, and what, if anything, has changed (answer: not much).

It was a very low key weekend, here in DC. The weather made it near impossible to do much (again), so there was a lot of baking (homemade pop tarts, croissants, quiche, etc.) and a lot of reading. Nice, because much travel is happening over the next month (hello, San Diego, San Antonio [for 2 weeks!] and Colorado). Want to know what’s caught my eye since last we spoke?

Using Alternate Light Source to Identify Subclinical Bruising

Post author By Jen
Post date February 17, 2015
3 Comments on Using Alternate Light Source to Identify Subclinical Bruising

There’s a ~~terrific~~ new article, available electronically ahead of publication that I’d like to highlight this morning. [Ed: okay, I will revise the terrific part, since the authors botch fluorescence vs absorption, or at least qualify my use of it to say that it’s terrific for me, because of the article’s conclusions.] It’s important, because it contributes to the science on using an alternate light source to identify subclinical bruising. The use of ALS for this purpose, particularly in strangulation cases, is one against which I caution folks, because the limited research on the subject hasn’t been particularly (forgive me) illuminating. This study changes that.

Sorry for the absence at the end of last week–the combination of making my way home from Anchorage and finally succumbing to the crud that’s been going around for weeks put me down for the count. But I’m back on my feet, to some extent, and the incredible cold this weekend had me happily hanging out and reading (Valentine’s Day be damned). Here’s what caught my eye since last we spoke:

On Leadership

Over at ReachMD they have a podcast I plan on listening to tonight while I’m hanging out in the Anchorage airport: Can Medical Leadership Be Taught? I read a lot about leadership–I’m fascinated by the topic and I think that there’s much to be learned by others’ experiences, and by studying the myriad ways in which leadership is defined and cultivated.

I’m in Alaska this week, hanging out with some of my favorite people. As you know, I don’t work on planes (although I’m seriously productive in airport clubs), which left me plenty of time to read over this past week (if you’re playing along at home I was DCA-CLT-SAT-CLT-MGM-CLT-DCA-IAD-DEN-ANC over the past 7 days). That’s a lot of time for idle reading. I won’t bombard you with everything that caught my eye–just the most intriguing stuff since last we spoke:

Efficacy of Emergency Contraception and Body Weight

Post author By Jen
Post date February 6, 2015

Thanks to Barb Bachmeier for this update: The American Society for Emergency Contraception has a published paper on the issue of EC and body weight (PDF) with an overview of the existing science and recommendations for clinicians. Although it doesn’t settle the issue, it provides solid evidence-based guidance. A good read for you and your team.
