Searching the internet for health information can be a tricky business, especially if you're not sure where to start. Perhaps you know a friend or a neighbour who has recently been told by their GP that further tests will be undertaken ... Where do you start looking for pertinent answers or just simple reassurance if you're not familiar with this field? This has been added to Healthcare Resources 2005 Internet MiniGuide.

The increasing number of people using the Internet for health information will have a "profound effect on medicine," according to a new report, "The Impact of Health Information on the Internet on Health Care and the Physician-Patient Relationship." The report, which appeared in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, noted that it is unclear whether the effect will be beneficial or harmful, however. "The advantages of the Internet as a source of health information include convenient access to a massive volume of information, ease of updating information, and the potential for interactive formats that promote understanding and retention of information," the report said. "Health information on the Internet may make patients better informed, leading to better outcomes, more appropriate use of health service resources, and a stronger patient relationship."

However, the report said, health information on the Internet may be misleading or misinterpreted, compromising health behaviors and health outcomes, or resulting in inappropriate requests, either because "refusal is time consuming, or because they fear refusal would weaken the physician-patient relationship."

When you're really, really sick, you head for the biggest, most modern, shiniest city hospital, famed for its quality of care and up-to-the-minute techniques. But if you want to find truly cutting-edge health care technology, you can turn to the small, rural hospitals. In the wards and in the labs of cash-strapped rural hospitals, non-proprietary software is quietly making its presence felt.

The Information Access Alliance believes that a new standard of antitrust review should be adopted by state and federal antitrust enforcement agencies in examining merger transactions in the serials publishing industry. When reviewing proposed mergers, antitrust authorities should consider the decision-making process used by libraries – the primary customers of STM and legal serial publications – to make purchasing decisions. Only then will these mergers be subjected to the degree of scrutiny they deserve and adequate access be preserved.

National Institutes of Health proposes
full, open, public access to biomedical
research 09/09/2004 12:44 PM

The National Institutes of Health is recommending that researchers who receive NIH funding make their work available to the world for no cost six months after completion:

Under the proposed policy, journal peer-review committees would vet papers that report results from NIH-sponsored research. Once the journal has edited and published the articles, editors would upload them to a searchable Web site and NIH would make them publicly available within 6 months.

The NIH initially recommended immediate publication, but added the six month embargo as a compromise with publishers, who argued that immediate availability would undermine their business model.

The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University has a site with useful information about 'micronutrients': vitamins, minerals, other nutrients (like Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Co-enzyme Q10), phytochemicals (trace chemicals in various plants), and the foods that contain all these nutrients. For each nutrient, you can learn its impact on the body, diseases it can help prevent or treat, where you can get it, and interactions with other nutrients, foods and drugs. The entire database can also be sorted by disease instead of by nutrient. Pauling was known, of course, for his controversial claim that large doses of vitamins can prevent the common cold and other diseases. The site is very thorough, quite technical (but still comprehensible), and makes fascinating reading. Thanks to tudogs.com for the link. Speaking of health information, Health Central (the Dr. Dean Edell site) hosts the full (from what I can ascertain) contents of one of my favourite books, The People's Pharmacy. Learn how to make safe, effective treatments from natural, common ingredients that work better than most over-the-counter remedies. Find out which alternative remedies work, which are placebos and which are downright dangerous.

Actually, it was in 1960, four years before the Beatles showed up on Ed Sullivan, that Doug McIlroy published Macro instruction extensions of compiler languages, which appears to be a seminal paper in the literature of metaprogramming. I mention this because a number of folks have responded to last week's item, Programs that write programs, pointing out that Lisp programmers have been there, done that:

"your note about code generation, and the referenced discussions - bits of which i'd already read elsewhere, left me with a really eerie feeling, that i might not be living in the same dimension with you folks. you see, there's a practice of code generation which extends back decades: lisp. code generations is a lisp programmer's bread and butter."

"In the lisp world, they call these macros. The idea is pretty widely known, though not too many languages implement them. Perl 6, and by extension the Parrot interpreter, will include macros, and they will thus be available to any language that gets implemented on top of Parrot (which currently includes Ruby, Python, (maybe) PHP, and, of course, Perl)."

Commentary: Like many readers, I find Microsoft's Get the Facts (GtF) ads repugnant, especially when they appear on sites dedicated to Linux and open source software. I understand that such organizations' editorial and ad sales staffs operate independently, meaning neither side tells the other what content it is or isn't allowed to carry, but I still don't like it. Happily, however, the bogus GtF ads may not be around much longer.

A bushy-tailed morning in the quest for truth : MemeTank and dKosopedia This morning, I wondered - where's the update to (the deceased) Steve Kangas' mighty liberal FAQ ? "Update?", thought I, "Well, this attempt ran out of steam" Then..."Ah, a Wiki !" Then, "well, isn't truth the point ?...shouldn't it be Bipartisan, or multipartisan ?" Daily Kos was just sniffing (May 28th) along that trail, it seemed....partway : "We hope the dKosopedia will become the progressive-political version of the Wikipedia, a political FAQ so to speak" Would the "Dkosopedia" benefit from a less partisan stance ?

But, the MemeTank rocks -with it's bestiary of Liberal/Progressive, Right Wing, and "other" memes and the (MemeTank's) "Meme Development Project....This section is for people who want to invent new memes and try to encourage professional journalists to start using them."

The amazing interstingness of miscellany, specifically Schott's Food and Drink Miscellany has provided me with several hours of pre-sleep delight as I've perused its pages in bed. Last night I discovered that both the loganberry and the boysenberry are not in fact wild berries, but derivatives of raspberries! Beneath the heading, "Epicurean Eponyms," Mr. Schott explains: LOGANBERRY · the sweet purple berry of the raspberry plant Rubus loganobaccus · created by the American judge and experimental horticulturalist James Harvey Logan, who developed the plant (c.1881). Some forty years later the botanist Rudolph Boysen created the hybrid BOYSENBERRY from the loganberry, the raspberry, and the blackberry. No wonder I've never seen a loganberry bush in the wild! I'm loving this little book and all its wonders. Highly recommended for any foodie or food-curious person.

Who Needs Facts When Opinions Can Be

While actual studies looking at the language skills of kids who send instant messages and SMS text messages suggest that there 's no difference in language skills, why should actually looking at the subjects stop those who are worried about the impacts of these communications technologies? The folks over at Reader's Digest -- who built their whole business on the idea of "condensing" things down -- have published a study saying that many parents believe that such messaging technologies harm the vocabulary skills of their kids. Of course, the headline is more inflammatory than reality, because it's still less than half of parents who believe so (a quarter of parents believe such technologies help vocabulary skills). Still, the problem with this study is that it's not studying the actual issue at all. It's studying what parents think is happening, as opposed to what is actually happening. However, for many people that distinction gets lost, and they assume the study actually says something it never did.
