""About The Medpedia Project
The Medpedia Project is a long-term, worldwide project to evolve a new model for sharing and advancing knowledge about health, medicine and the body among medical professionals and the general public. This model is founded on providing a free online technology platform that is collaborative, interdisciplinary and transparent. Read more about the model.
Users of the platform include physicians, consumers, medical and scientific journals, medical schools, research institutes, medical associations, hospitals, for-profit and non-profit organizations, expert patients, policy makers, students, non-professionals taking care of loved ones, individual medical professionals, scientists, etc.
As Medpedia grows over the next few years, it will become a repository of up-to-date unbiased medical information, contributed and maintained by health experts around the world, and freely available to everyone. The information in this clearinghouse will be easy to discover and navigate, and the technology platform will expand as the community invents more uses for it.
In association with Harvard Medical School, Stanford School of Medicine, Berkeley School of Public Health, University of Michigan Medical School and other leading global health organizations, Medpedia will be a commons for the gathering of the information and people critical to health care. Many organizations have united to support The Medpedia Project. ""

UCONN Health Center Community Continues to Respond to the People of Haiti
Though it has now been two months since the devastating earthquake and aftershocks rocked the island nation of Haiti, the country is still in dire need of medical attention and care. The needs are complex and it will take many more months, if not years, to rebuild Haiti’s medical infrastructure.
In light of this ongoing need, I am very proud to say that a group of 11 men and women from the UConn Health Center community is leaving this week for a 16-day medical mission to the University Hospital in Port-au-Prince. They will be volunteering their time and talent with the International Medical Corps, a global humanitarian organization. IMC is the same group that Dr. Robert Fuller, Medical Director of Emergency Department, worked with immediately following the earthquake.
The UConn team includes specially trained physicians, nurses and nurse practitioners. They will provide care at University Hospital, and will help the IMC with its long-term recovery efforts.
Please join me in extending our deepest thanks and sincere best wishes to our UConn contingent:
Michael Fishcher, M.D., Internal Medicine
Lynn Kosowicz, M.D., Internal Medicine
Susan Levine, M.D., Internal Medicine (Community physician; clinical faculty)
Mitch McGrath, R.N., General Medicine
MaryBeth Barry, A.P.R.N., Cardiology/General Medicine
Laura Glynn, R.N., General Medicine
Dawn Smith, R.N., General Medicine
Katherine Anderson, R.N., General Medicine
Kathleen Curley, R.N., General Medicine
Christy Meyer, R.N., Emergency Medicine/ICU
Rachel Jones, R.N., General Medicine
We look forward to their safe return and appreciate the sacrifice they are making.
I am also grateful to Dr. Fuller and Dr. Adam Silverman for their efforts in coordinating and facilitating the UConn response.
Sincerely,
Cato T. Laurencin, M.D., Ph.D.
Vice President for Health Affairs
Dean, UConn School of Medicine

Cold Spring Harbor Protocols : now available online for library users.
The library has purchased a subscription to : Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, which is now available online for library users.
http://cshprotocols.cshlp.org/
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols is an interdisciplinary journal providing a definitive source of research methods in cell, developmental and molecular biology, genetics, bioinformatics, protein science, computational biology, immunology, neuroscience and imaging. Each monthly issue details multiple essential methods—a mix of cutting-edge and well-established techniques. Newly commissioned protocols and unsolicited submissions are supplemented with articles based on Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory’s renowned courses and manuals. All protocols are up-to-date and presented in a consistent, easy-to-follow format. New protocols will be published continuously. Users can sign up for RSS feeds and Alerts when new protocols appear in the database. All published protocols are peer-reviewed by experts to ensure technical quality. In addition, many of the protocols are ‘field-tested’ in CSHL courses—and fine-tuned based on these results.
All articles should be cited by the complete DOI number (e.g., doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot1234), which can be found at the top of each article.
For example:
Deplancke B., Vermeirssen V., Arda H.E., Martinez N.J., and Walhout A.J.M. 2006. Gateway-compatible yeast one-hybrid screens. Cold Spring Harb Protoc
doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot4590.

UCONN Health Library subscribes to PsychiatryOnline - check out the free book - a new one each month
Subscribers to DSM Premium and DSM Premium Plus at PsychiatryOnline.com get access to a free PDF version of a featured book EVERY MONTH from the APPI Bookstore.
March brings The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, 2nd Edition, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D.
Forensic psychiatry is growing in popularity, and many a practitioner feels the urge to explore this fascinating realm of endeavor. The second edition of The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, by Thomas G. Gutheil, M.D., is a highly readable and practical guidebook for those interested in entering the field while navigating the dangers inherent in courtroom testimony. This volume is a thoroughly revised and updated edition of his highly successful first edition. The earlier edition has been used in nearly all forensic psychiatric training programs in the U.S. and Cana da since its publication in 1998.
A professor of psychiatry at the Beth Israel-Deaconess Medical Center-Harvard Medical School, Gutheil draws on his decades of experience in the courtroom and countless beginner's mistakes to help readers avoid the pitfalls of serving as an expert witness. While of great value to newcomers to the field, the book offers insight and guidance to early-career and seasoned expert witnesses as well.
As in the first edition, this volume explores the role of the expert witness, moral issues, basic principles, depositions and trials, writing for the court, and ethical marketing. Besides the requisite updating of references and suggested readings, this latest volume features expansions and additions of particular benefit to prospective expert witnesses:
* A glossary of useful terms
* Expanded definitions of key concepts
* A lengthened discussion of bias in testimony
* A model forensic consent form for examination
* Cases and principles that have arisen since the first edition
The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness provides the practical, hands-on mentoring and guidance that were not readily available in the past. Concrete advice replaces abstract theorizing, and informal discussion in a user-friendly tone replaces scholarly discourse. These attributes combine to make this a book that is highly accessible and usable in real world courtroom settings.
While some in society decry the expert witness function, the courts will continue, fro m all evidence, to require expert witness testimony in increasing numbers. The author seeks to help his colleagues meet the courts' needs with ethical, effective and helpful testimony through the publication of this revised volume. At the same time, Gutheil strives to make the often complex arena of forensic psychiatry more understandable to those who wish to enter the field and to seasoned experts eager to keep up with contemporary changes in forensic psychiatry.
You can access the Book of the Month from the home page, at PsychiatryOnline.com. You'll have access to The Psychiatrist as Expert Witness, 2nd Edition as a PDF download for the month of March.
