Where art and medicine collide
2023 brings us a free exhibition of photographs of medical objects from the Royal College of Physicians' museum stores: Unfamiliar
The exhibition gives a new look at objects from the RCPs' museum collections through Theo Deproost's photos and Debbie Jegede's clinical curiosity.
The exhibition is showing 23 January - 28 July 2023

Does AI speed and improve literature reviews?

See how to use ELICIT in combination with Zotero in Mushtaq Bilal's thread on the bird app.

Assessment of the quality of meta-analyses
#medicalwriters #stem
Because meta-analyses are increasingly prevalent and cited in the medical literature, it is important that tools are available to assess their methodological quality.
For clinical trials, a check to see if the analyses follow the QUORUM (Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses) guidelines is advised.
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(99)04149-5/fulltext
A short-hand approach found that 4 key areas are important to the quality of meta-analyses:
- data sources
- analysis of individual studies
- meta-analysis methods
- interpretation

In-flight emergency for patient with syncope on plane home tonight from vacation. Used cuff to check BP, but no pulse oximeter in kit!
Stethoscope not great so I put my @Apple watch on the patient to check rate & rhythm. Very useful ❤️

Let's have a look a this beautiful collective #CellMigration with a staining of the organelles and actin cytoskeleton.
(Hey @Spirochrome you know how to make probes, huh neat staining with FastAct)

I can’t stop thinking about the Afghan girls Robotic team knows as Afghan Dreamers. The girls with minimal resources were able to design and build low cost ventilators and their expertise were used during Covid crisis. Roya, a member of Afghan dreamers was ranked among Time’s 100 most influential people for her work in building internet classrooms in Afghan high schools.

Literature reviews using free apps
I'm sure medical writers know not to use Google Scholar as their only search in a literature review. Always use a database such as PubMed. #medicalwriters #STEMwriters I would not use .

#StarTrek or cancer treatment?
I had my first session of radiotherapy this morning for #breastcancer. I'll be undergoing 15 fractions with an integrated boost to the tumour bed. I'm nervous about potential side effects, but determined to document my experience. Stay tuned.
I want people to know that breast cancer doesn't have to be scary or fatal when caught early. Check your breasts, and trust your body.❤️

Rosalind Franklin’s research was crucial to discovering DNA’s double helix structure 🧬 but it was James Watson & Francis Crick who received the credit & Nobel Prize.
Unknown to Franklin, the pair saw her unpublished data & X-ray diffraction images, inspiring their famous model. They never acknowledged her contribution until after her death.
How many discoveries & innovations of #women do we attribute to the men who took credit for their ideas?

Point-of-care biosensor rapidly detects oral cancer
Oral cancer is the 13th most common type of cancer globally, and oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) account for more than 90% of oral cancers. An estimated 300,000 new cases and 145,000 deaths worldwide were attributed to oral cancer in 2012.

Obsidian. The basics.
#medicalwriters #STEMwriters
In a great thread on the blue bird app, Mushtaq Bilal PhD has provided just the right amount of information to start using the Obsidian note taking app (link below).
https://twitter.com/MushtaqBilalPhD/status/1602568559284178950
With its ability to hyperlink between pages and provide a visual overview of the relationship between notes, Obsidian looks like it might be very useful for visual writers, and a contender to replace OneNote on my desktop. And, according to Obsidian help pages*, there is a way of importing your OneNote and EverNote books into Obsidian. Now, if only I could learn how to send emails to Obsidian...
Here is the link to the download page:
https://obsidian.md/
*The app's help pages are difficult to understand for those of us with no coding skills at all.
