Anybody used the Clinical Pharmacology mobile option on a I-phone? One of my students is really having trouble with it and I am neither Apple nor a ClinPharm Mobile user.

Medlib folks: I want to slap together a quick web application to let users quickly look up a journal title or abbreviation (look up either from either). What's the easiest way to get such a list in tabular format (csv, excel, whatever) with which to make this? Using the NLM catalog will only give me 200 records at a time, and not in an especially...
is this something more like what you were hoping for? Journal Lists by FTP: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books... - ~Courtney F
Could you start with something like http://www.library.uq.edu.au/faqs... which is the Journal Terms for Endnote from Queensland? That's the most comprehensive list of journal names and abbreviations that I've found. - Hedgehog

Faculty member is looking for something published in 2007, that he saw on http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov re: stress/trauma/surgery triggering celiac disease. All I can find are papers that state that as fact, not anything that is research about it.
I hate those "everyone knows this" kind of questions... - Hedgehog
can you find a review article? - RepoRat
Can try to look tomorrow. - Rachel Walden
That's what I'm hoping for, Dorothea. I found some guidelines that were published in 2007, but they don't really mention stress or trauma. Rachel, I'd appreciate anything you find. - Hedgehog
I bet it really came out in 2002 - $tephanie•Gardening
May well have. I know more about causes of CD. Every single article starts wtih "CD is a gluten intolerance....triggers include stress, pregnancy, trauma" (NO CITATION) RAWR. - Hedgehog
Have not had any luck so far. - Rachel Walden
Not on the NIDDK site, but possibilities? Maple JT, Pearson RK, Murray JA, Kelly DG, Lara LF, Fan AC. Silent celiac disease activated by pancreaticoduodenectomy. Dig Dis Sci. 2007 Sep;52(9):2140-4. Epub 2007 Mar 21. PMID: 17373587 - Rachel Walden
And a 2005: Chedid AD, Kruel CR, Chedid MF, Torresini RJ, Geyer GR. Development of clinical celiac disease after pancreatoduodenectomy: a potential complication of major upper abdominal surgery. Langenbecks Arch Surg. 2005 Feb;390(1):39-41. Epub 2004 Sep 24. PMID: 15449065 - Rachel Walden
Those both look really good Rachel, I bet it is the first one. THANK YOU. Was beating my head on the monitor with this one. - Hedgehog from Android
Awesome, hope it helps! - Rachel Walden
2005 is the new 2007. - $tephanie•Gardening

Medtronic's pull influenced Infuse articles, report finds - http://m.startribune.com/busines...
"A U.S. Senate report alleged Thursday that Medtronic was heavily involved in shaping the content of medical journal articles about a bone growth product used in spine surgery, an action the report says is a violation of patients' trust. Medtronic's role in influencing articles authored by its physician consultants was not disclosed, the report found, raising questions about research conducted by physicians who received $210 million in royalties and consulting fees over 15 years from the Fridley-based company. According to the report from the Senate Finance Committee staff, the world's biggest maker of heart-rhythm devices helped write, edit and shape at least 11 medical journal articles about its Infuse product." - maʀtha from Bookmarklet
Should I drop off a cod at the Medtronic office? - maʀtha
Common practice, sadly. One step down from outright ghostwriting. - RepoRat

I'm looking for advice from a RefWorks ninja familiar with NLM citation style requirements. Anyone?
i know RefWorks but not nlm, sorry - Christina Pikas
I also know RefWorks but not NLM. So am not really helpful, too. - Amandadon't
(But post your question, and I'll give it a whack! Just not a very good whack.) - Amandadon't
Thanks, guys! Ended up going to our own library to discuss with reference librarian...who agrees that RefWorks simply can't properly record conference presentations and produce correct NLM citations. Disappointing, because that would have been very convenient. Now learning all about Zotero thanks to the excellent book by Jason Puckett. http://jasonpuckett.net/zotero... I am a fussy, picky, hyper-critical jerk- and I can find nothing about this book I don't like. It is outstanding. - David Rothman (☤)
there have been talks recently on the refworks admin listserv about conference presentations and other reference types needed but not supported. probably too late for you, but there have at least been requests for rw to fix that. - Christina Pikas
I've given up on RefWorks fixing anything. *grumpity grump* - maʀtha
I just had to break it to another librarian that RefGrabIt is basically a waste of disk space. - DJF
Oh, absolutely! I've been telling people not to use RefGrab-It for years. - maʀtha

@medlibs #medlibs Exasperated. Scopus RSS feed cannot be seen by Google Reader or by Yahoo Pipes. Grrr. Any suggestions?
Is it essential that the proxy be part of it? - Nikki D.
The proxy part stuffs up RSS feeds from most databases (with the exception of Compendex, IIRC). Manually deleting it from the feed url generally allows the feed to work. - Deborah Fitchett
There is a way to set the ezproxy to not choke on rss feeds, but yeah i remove the proxy usually. Is the sciencedirect rss problem fixed btw? - aarontay
Did you try Feedburner? I think I have some of them in there. - Guus van den Brekel
Yeah. Yanked the proxy stuff out of the URL...surprised our library hasn't addressed the issue. I guess few users want RSS alerts from Scopus. - David Rothman (☤) from Android

If you're an MLA member, I've got an article up in MLANews this month in the tech section. If not, a new and improved version will be on my blog in the coming couple of weeks.

Patron is looking for articles that provide the adult patient perspective about the process and experience physical therapy/rehabilitation. Not about the physical *ability* outcome. Any ideas?
Something like PMID: 12952519? Using the MeSH "Physical Therapy Modalities/psychology" is not great, and I see a couple of potentially relevant things that don't use the subheading (like PMID: 22488695). - Rachel Walden
Possible search terms: "patient perspectives" "Patient Satisfaction"[mh] "Patient Preference"[mh] "physical therapy" "Physical Therapy Modalities" "physiotherapy" "physical rehabilitation" - Rachel Walden
The first one might work. I've also sent this to Medlib, going to chew on it over the weekend and see what comes up by Monday. Thanks for the ideas Rachel, I'll add them to the list - Hedgehog
Initially she wanted physically disabled adult perspectives on PT/ET/Rehab that they underwent as physically disabled children. She was starting from an article that talked about how horrible it all was. Not sure I can find many qualitative studies on that. - Hedgehog
Hmm, I bet you're going to see more parent perspectives in the lit on that. A lot of it might be under "Occupational Therapy"[mh] or (Specific Condition)/rehabilitation, too. There's also a "Disabled Children" term, but I'm not sure how often that actually gets applied. - Rachel Walden
That seems to be getting a lot of mental disability noise, which I'm not finding a good way to filter. - Hedgehog
Maybe you could NOT the intellectual disability mesh term? I'm always wary of NOT, but it might be worth a try. - Rachel Walden
Maybe...brain dead at the moment on this one. Going to retry again later. - Hedgehog
Cool. Send me a message if you get stuck. - Rachel Walden
