Neat post from HIPPOCRATech reviewing several Games Used to Train Medical Doctors.
This falls into the category of what blog author Michelle Nguyen calls “Medutainment.”
Among the other interesting posts from this relatively new blog is The “Youtubes” of Health, highlighting biomedical video sites like HealthTheater.tv, icYou, Dramatic Health (YouTube channel) and Jove.
One suggestion for Michelle: How […]

Among other ways, it inspires articles like this one:

The worst thing I can say about BioMed Search is that it has an iffy name. The name doesn’t capture attention or memory and doesn’t indicate that it is a search engine for IMAGES. That nit-pick aside, it’s pretty neat.

From the Wiki des Bibliothèques Universitaires de Médecine et Santé Publique - Lausanne, check out this great poster on Alternative interfaces for PubMed searches by Isabelle de Kaenel and Pablo Iriarte.

Thanks for pointing this out, Gaétan!

Patricia Anderson keeps posting slides for presentations she gives. If her slides are any indications, these presentations must be really, really good.
Created as a podcast for the Dental Informatics Online Community, this is snapshot of what is going on with social technologies and Web 2.0 in various healthcare communities.

Gaétan Kerdelhué, a medical librarian at Rouen University Hospital and author of this list of French-language medical wikis has translated entries into English so I could add them to my list. Thanks so much, Gaétan! The list of medical wikis is up to 56 entries now.
Also- Gaétan blogs here- so if you read […]

If you use Connotea, Pubconn might be a useful tool.
Different scenarios in which Pubconn might prove useful:
- When you are doing a Pubmed search, you are interested to see if other people have bookmarked any of the papers you have in your search results. Currently, you should query Connotea for each and every record returned […]

I really need to get in the habit of linking to these- there’s often good stuff in ‘em. The most recent edition is at Victor Castilla’s Web 2.0 and Medicine.

(Above: I couldn’t resist embedding a smaller version of the cute slideshow that Victor put together for this edition.)

MedCalc, a free medical calculator for PDAs or Smartphones (Palm OS and Windows Mobile), looks handy, but I find myself wondering how it compares to MDCalc. Has anyone used both and formed opinions?

Thanks, Resource Shelf!

[Edit #1:Mr. Gunn is absolutely right. 2collab is more a Connotea or del.icio.us clone than a Digg clone. I’ve corrected the title of this post.]
[Edit #2: It turns out I’m not alone in my current view of 2collab]
Science Library Pad has a post all about 2Collab, Elsevier’s Digg Connotea(/del.icio.us) clone.

what is 2collab?
2collab is […]

If you’re a Francophone, I’d be grateful if you’d consider helping me expand the list of medical wikis to include these French-language Wikis.
Barbara Braun kindly translated and reported on DocCheck Flexikon, a German-Language medical wiki I had wanted to add to the list. If a Francophone would be willing to provide the same […]

I knew that the The JAMA Report, “a weekly video and audio medical news service from the Journal of the American Medical Association,” was available from its home page at thejamareport.org, but The MARquee points out that JAMA also posts episodes to Blip.tv at thejamareport.blip.tv. Even better, you can subscribe to these videos as […]

Berci asked:
David, do you know how can we subscribe to searches on Youtube? I mean, I’d like to follow the RSS feed of the search term genetics on Youtube, for example.
Jan answered:
You can create RSS feeds for tags. FI: rss for genetics will be http://www.youtube.com/rss/tag/genetic.rss.
For search related rss-feeds on YouTube you could try referd.info.

BioMed Central announced on Friday that they’ve launched a YouTube Channel.
In addition to our YouTube channel, we are working with SciVee to ensure the visibility and linking of PubCasts featuring BioMed Central articles. For example, SciVee currently features a pubcast by Apostol Gramada in which he describes the research he published in BMC Bioinformatics.

I really, really like House M.D..
Hugh Laurie is fantastic as the eponymous Dr. Gregory House, a vicodin-addicted misanthrope and diagnostic genius. Even when the medicine (or even the writing) isn’t great, Laurie makes the show worth watching.1
If you have seen at least two episodes of the show, keep reading. If you […]

Recently stumbled across Medical Videos (”Your Online Medical Video Tube”) and found it interesting. Interesting not because I expect it to turn into a useful resource (I sort of doubt it, actually), but because of how it was made.
About a month ago, I wrote:
…Tools like Pligg let anyone make a Digg clone, so […]

(Just for the record: My original title for this post was “I’m in Ur Feteratid Serch, Getin’ You Sum Consumr Helth Info,” but I figured that this would only amuse a handful of people and annoy everyone else. If the joke doesn’t make sense to you, check out ICanHasCheezburger.)
Back in August I was contacted […]

PubPals is a fun little Greasemonkey script that inserts buttons in PubMed abstracts next to each author’s name to let the user quickly and easily look the author up on Facebook or LinkedIn.

Melissa Rethlefsen sent me a nifty graphic from Cloudalicio.us that shows the tags del.icio.us users have most frequently used when bookmarking LibWorm:

There’s nothing very surprising here, but it sure is interesting.
Thanks, Melissa!
