It’s time once again for Articles Note. These are a selection from peer-reviewed journals that feel particularly relevant to our practice.

There are also several free full-text articles in here, so we can all be happy about that. Peds people, you guys have a boat-load of good stuff in here, but trust me when I tell you this–there’s something for everyone in the journals this month.

Elder Abuse: Forensic Markers

Apologies for being absent this week. I’ve been pretty mired in the photography symposium these last couple days (time well-spent, I might add). Over at the Government Innovators Network, they’re sponsoring a webinar series on elder abuse. The next one is March 22nd at 3pm ET and it will focus on forensic markers.

Forensic Aspects of Elder Abuse

Last summer NIJ hosted a panel at their conference on the forensic aspects of elder abuse. Several clinicians, including past IAFN president, Susan Chasson, participated in the panel. They were nice enough to turn it into a podcast, which you can listen to here.

I have included both an embedded list of this month’s articles AND the usual Scribd list (for those of you who want a print out). Sorry for the length of the posting, but this should hopefully meet everyone’s needs.

Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women & Girls

UNIFEM has created the Virtual Knowledge Center to End Violence Against Women and Girls that is certainly worth perusing. From the looks of the site, there are still multiple modules yet to come (including one on health and another on justice), but to date there are several live modules, and it’s beautifully searchable.

Sexual and Domestic Violence in Later Life

A couple weeks ago I mentioned that NSVRC had a collection on sexual violence in later life. Now, VAWNet has an expanded collection on sexual and domestic violence in later life that’s worth checking out. Aside from an overview and a look at some of the current research, there are also a variety of training materials available in the collection, and some healthcare specific resources, as well.

IAFN has released a curriculum for educators, Nursing Response to Elder Mistreatment. “The goal of this course is to help nurses acquire essential knowledge and skills to appropriately respond to elder mistreatment. This course prepares nurses to integrate nursing and forensic sciences into the care of vulnerable older adults who have been mistreated or are at high risk for mistreatment by trusted others.”

New Resources: Sexual Violence in Later Life & DNA Backlogs

Two new resources just released that I wanted to post today. The first is from NSVRC: Sexual Violence in Later Life Information Packet. It includes a fact sheet, technical assistance bulletin, technical assistance guide, resource list, annotated bibliography and research brief. As today happens to be World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, this is particularly fitting.

Elder Abuse in NIJ Journal

I am smack in the middle of a ridiculous travel schedule–Laramie and Bismarck down for the week, up next, Chicago then New Orleans. Apologies for missing some posts, but this is how things sometimes go. 

NIJ released their newest Journal today, and I was thrilled to see an article about elder abuse featuring some of my favorite bruising research by Dr. Laura Mosqueda. You can read the full article here.

I’ll be back next week with a new clinical guide (I hope), and a few other goodies. Have a great weekend!

Articles of Note: March Edition

I cannot believe it’s already mid-March and I am *just* getting to this post. Between CCAW in Dallas (fantastic and more than 700 attendees) and a court martial that had me sequestered without internet, last week was a wash in terms of getting much done. Finally, though, it’s time for March’s Articles of Note. All of these are from the late February/March/April issues and electronic previews. As always, please keep in mind this in no way a comprehensive list; simply items that have caught my attention from a selection of peer-reviewed journals. Links lead to PubMed abstracts; from there you can choose what’s worth a.) paying for; b.) a pilgrimage to your nearest medical library;  or c.) downloading via the full-text access you possibly have at your disposal.
