BMJ Clinical Evidence - new features for 2008

BMJ Clinical Evidence...Here are some new announcements of upgrades for the journal for 2008.
http://clinicalevidence.bmj.com/ceweb/index.jsp



New features for 2008
• Systematic reviews covering 3,000
clinical interventions in over 570
clinical situations
• New GRADE scores assessing the
quality of evidence, ensuring that
you have a clear idea as to how a
particular intervention will affect
your patients
• Foreign language navigation in a
variety of languages (including
Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and
Turkish)
• Patient information leaflets based
on BMJ Clinical Evidence systematic
reviews enabling you to provide
your patients with summarised
information on conditions in plain
English
• New PubMed abstracts for each
systematic review enabling
increased accessibility of our
content
• Improved navigation ensuring that
you can find the information you
need quickly and easily


A series of major enhancements to BMJ Clinical Evidence online launch in
January 2008 so you can find even more information, more efficiently.
BMJ Clinical Evidence supports the clinical decision making
of hundreds of thousands of clinicians. Our success and
wide readership is based on our unique approach.
We never compromise on quality and relevance. Our
evidence is calculated, checked and double-checked by an
international panel of experts covering all major medical
specialties. Our team of specialist writers then summarise
the evidence, highlighting what is known, but also what is
not known, and present this in a question-led format that
makes it quick and easy to put into practice.
We constantly review new studies, and update our
information with important new findings.

New Edition of Alzheimer's Practice Guideline on PsychiatryOnline

Now part of your PsychiatryOnline.com subscription...

NEW EDITION OF ALZHEIMER'S PRACTICE GUIDELINE

Please visit www.PsychiatryOnline.com to take advantage of these enhancements to your current subscription.

The American Psychiatric Association has released the Second Edition of Practice Guideline
for the Treatment of Patients With Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias.
Key recommendations address the use of pharmacological agents to treat cognitive impairment in patients with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias,
including the cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine.
Vitamin E, recommended in the first edition for cognitive decline, is no longer recommended because of lack of efficacy and safety concerns.
The new edition also updates recommendations for treating common symptoms associated with dementia
such as depression, sleep dysfunction, and agitation and aggression.
The role of the psychiatrist in limiting driving by patients with dementia according to their level of impairment is also addressed.

You'll find the new Practice Guideline here: http://www.psychiatryonline.com/content.aspx?aID=152139

(or click on APA Practice Guidelines from the www.PsychiatryOnline.com home page).

AJP IN ADVANCE

This month The American Journal of Psychiatry launches a bold new feature: AJP in Advance.
As part of the Journal's ongoing effort to bring the latest research to the field faster,
all research articles will appear online in advance of their appearance in a print issue.
Click on the AJP in Advance logo at www.PsychiatryOnline.com to view the full text of published articles weeks before they appear in print.

As always, we'd love to hear from you regarding any suggestions you have for PsychiatryOnline.com.
Your feedback will help us to continue to build a site that best serves your needs. Please click the "Feedback" link at the top of the page.

Thank you very much,

NetLibrary: Mac OS X PDF plugins and configuration

NetLibrary: Mac OS X PDF plugins and configuration

The PDF files used by NetLibrary are compatible with most supported web browsers
using the Schubert|it PDF Browser Plugin,
a third-party plugin that supports in-browser viewing of PDF files.

Adobe Reader 7 also works to view this NetLibrary content in most browsers,
but will usually display the content in its own window rather than in the browser window;
its use is discouraged.
Adobe Reader 7 worked best for Safari in early 2005 but Safari now appears not to work.
Version 10.2.2 of Mac OS X is required to use Adobe Reader 7.

Adobe Reader 6 cannot support NetLibrary's PDF content due to limitations
of that version of Reader
and an incompatibility with Mac OS X.
This is beyond OCLC NetLibrary's control.

For OS 9, it is reported that Adobe has plugins available that work,
but this is untested by CSD.

Shubert|it PDF Browser Plugin
Mozilla, Firefox, Camino, Opera, Netscape, and Internet Explorer seem to work best with the Schubert|it PDF plugin.
This is available at http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ and is simple to install.

Install it by opening the .dmg file you download,
and then copy PDF Browser Plugin.plugin to the Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder of the hard drive.
Once installed with that method,
it should just work with Mozilla, Firefox, Camino, Opera, and Netscape
without additional configuration.
The plugin does not seem to work with Safari;
Internet Explorer needs additional configuration; see below.
If problems are encountered in Firefox, see the configuration section for that browser, below.


Safari
Safari worked with Adobe Reader 7 until early spring of 2005.
Now the content will briefly flash on the screen and then it will disappear;
other times you just see a blank page and no flash of the cover photo or text.


Internet Explorer configuration details
Internet Explorer works with the Schubert|it plugin from http://www.schubert-it.com/pluginpdf/ but extra configuration is necessary.
It is also possible to configure Internet Explorer to use Adobe Acrobat Reader 7,
but the PDF will likely display in a separate window.

To configure IE to use the Schubert|it plugin,
click on Explorer and Preferences.
In the section Receiving Files,
click File Helpers. Click Add...
Fill out the Edit File Helper window as shown:

Description: Adobe PDF files
Extension: PDF
MIME type: Application/PDF
File type: .PDF
How to handle: View with Plug-in
Plug-in name: PDF Browser Plugin.plugin

Online access to Journal of Dental Hygiene has returned

Online access to Journal of Dental Hygiene
has returned.

Online access is available from : v.78:no.3 (2004:Sept)- onwards.

The library continues to hold the print version in the journal stacks
and the following volumes are available :

v.62 :no.9 (1988)-v.62:no.10 (1988),v.63 (1989)-v.72 (1998),v.74 (2000)-v.77 (2003)

Clinical and Experimental Medicine

There is a filing issue online for the journal : Clinical and Experimental Medicine.
http://www.springerlink.com/content/108234/


When you go to the home page of the title, where you will get the most recent issue,
you find in this instance, the volumes and issues for 1945.
The e-journal platform has misfiled and corrupted the current issues,
sending them to the beginning of the title.
When you are at the home page --
look for the pulldown menu opposite the phrase "93 volumes"

In this pull down menu,
look for 13-4 and 3-1 to find the most recent volumes.
The ones that have not corrupted have green squares,
and the corrupted ones have dropped off the platform!!


When in 2001, this title became Clinical and Experimental Medicine,
the publisher began numbering again with volume 1
instead of continuing the volume numbering of REM - Research in Experimental Medicine
- (dating back to 1908)--
also known as : Zeitschrift für die gesamte experimentelle Medizin einschliesslich experimenteller Chirurgie
The computer has misfiled volume 1 of CEM with volume 1 of Research in Experimental Medicine
( Zeitschrift für die gesamte experimentelle Medizin einschliesslich experimenteller Chirurgie ) (dating back to 1908)
This is a direct result of the e-journal platform ignoring several title changes
and mergers and lumping all this content together under the most recent title….

I have sent a note to the e-journal platform and
I do hope that they will resolve this corruption shortly.

ScienceDirect unavailable Sunday March 11

This message is to inform you that ScienceDirect (but not Scopus) will be unavailable for a planned period of downtime
on Sunday, March 11, 2007 for approximately 7 hours starting at 01:00 AM EST (06:00 AM GMT).
This is to adjust the system to take account the change to Daylight Saving Time in the United States.
We hope that by providing this advance notice we can help minimise any inconvenience to you and to your ScienceDirect users.

The system was successfully upgraded last Saturday.
Our technical team is working as hard as they possibly can to eliminate the unforeseen difficulties which some of our customers
have experienced since in accessing ScienceDirect and Scopus.
We apologise to those customers who have been affected by these difficulties.

ScienceDirect unavailable March 3, 2007 -----6am-3pm EST

http://www.sciencedirect.com

Everyone who has been involved with system upgrades in other contexts will not be completely surprised to learn that the upgrade and reinstallation of Science Direct's core techologies last Saturday encountered some unexpected problems. As a consequence, the upgrade was aborted, the system was reset and we again need to close down the system this week-end to carry out the work .

With great regret and with the most profound apologies, therefore, we announce that ScienceDirect will be unavailable again tomorrow (Saturday, March 3rd) for approximately 9 hours starting at 06:30 AM EST (11:30 GMT). The changes are necessary to improve the performance of ScienceDirect and to ensure a high level of reliability in the coming years

We apologize for any inconvenience that this will cause to ScienceDirect users, which we hope we can extenuate by providing this advance notice.

How to our progress:
If you attempt to access ScienceDirect tomorrow while the system is unavailable you will be redirected to a substitute home page - http://www.info.sciencedirect.com/downtime/ . In response to user feedback during last week's unexpectedly prolonged downtime, we will make arrangements this week to make sure that the information on this page will be regularly updated to reflect our estimate of the time at which normal service will be resumed.

Once again, we apologise for this inconvenience and thank you for bearing with us.
