Welcome to Medoodle
The international medical community and professional network
...based on the popular Radiology community Radiolopolis...
The All-Around-Medicine Community |
The purpose of this medical community is to create a possibility, where most of the needs of physicians, residents, medicals students, physician assistants, nurses, technologists and industry can be melted within one central medical network. It is based on a "taking and giving" principle, where you share your knowledge and others do the same.
Some features:
- Share cases and your knowledge
- Ask professionals for their opinion - in public or in private
- Find people with similar interests, create new connections and expand your professional network
- Discuss medical topics in dedicated forums - from residency to practice
- Prepare for the USMLE / medical baords
- Find tutorials and eLearning material
- Share your images, videos, teaching files and lectures
- Simplify your research and find partners worldwide
- Create or join research and study groups
- General and medical specific search engines
- Read medical news from multiple subspecialties
- Publishing case reports (cooperation with the JRCR)
- Helpful tools for your daily work (calculators, case tracker, clinical, research tools, etc.)
- ...and much more...
Over 50,000 available jobs for physicians, nurses & other health care professionals!

| Social media and medicine - Stanford University Grand Rounds |
|
Graham Walker is one of the first medical bloggers. He went on a hiatus during his emergency medicine (EM) residency, and has now found new inspiration to blog as an EM attending at Stanford University medical center. This is his talk on social media and medicine at Stanford University Grand Rounds: http://youtu.be/qtkggenLmlE
Dr. Walker: This is my talk on the dissemination of medical information over time, how the internet and social networking are changing medicine, and how to use digital tools to be a better clinician at the bedside.
Here is Graham's list of Digital Tools to Improve the Specialty:

| A pivotal registration phase III, multicenter, randomized tuberculosis controlled trial: design issues and lessons learnt from the Gatifloxacin for TB (OFLOTUB) project |
|
Conclusion:
When shortening TB treatment, we are advocating for a non-inferiority, non-blinded design,with a composite unfavorable endpoint assessed 12 months post treatment completion, andadded trial procedures specifically aiming to: (1) minimize endpoint unavailability; and (2)distinguish between relapse and re-infection.

| Vigilin interacts with Signal Peptide Peptidase |
|
Conclusions:
We have identified and validated vigilin as a novel interacting partner of SPP that could play an important role in the non-proteolytic functions of SPP. This data adds further weight to the idea that intramembrane-cleaving aspartyl proteases, such as presenilin and SPPs, could have other functions besides the proteolysis of short membrane stubs.

| Inadequate description of educational interventions in ongoing randomized controlled trials |
|
Conclusions:
Educational interventions assessed in ongoing RCTs of educational interventions are poorlydescribed in trial registries. The lack of adequate description raises doubts about the ability oftrial registration to help patients and researchers know about the treatment evaluated in trialsof non-pharmacologic treatment.

| Risk of transfusion-induced alloimmunization high in IBD patients |
|
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have more than double the
risk of transfusion-induced red cell alloimmunization compared to their peers with noninflammatory diseases, a
study from Austria indicates.

| Circulating leukocyte telomere length is highly heritable among families of Arab descent |
|
Conclusion:
The high heritability of telomere length in Arab families, and the associations of telomere length with various cardiometabolic parameters suggest heritable genetic fetal and/or epigenetic influences on the early predisposition of Arab children to age-related diseases and accelerated ageing.

| Integrated mosquito larval source management reduces larval numbers in two highland villages in western Kenya |
|
Conclusion: Most of these interventions were applied in habitats that arose due to human activities. Involvement of community members in control programs would be beneficial in the long term once they understand the role they play in malaria transmission. Apart from the need for communities to be educated on their role in malaria transmission, there is a need to develop and test strategies that can easily be accessed and hence be used by the affected communities. The proposed LSM strategies target outdoor immature mosquitoes and hence can complement well with control measures that target indoor resting vectors. Therefore inclusion of LSM in Integrated Vector Management (IVM) program would be beneficial.
