Lucky 7! Happy March 7, all. I'm enjoying my weekend doing random housework and other assorteds.
Here are a few topics of interest I'm researching here and there while I have the time.
Dialysis is not common in my practice, but not unusual. This dialysis center company has an interesting blog on dialysis topics. Don't forget to check out a couple of dialysis nurse blogs, such as jo's Sinus Arrhythmia and U know PP. Wanna be one? Check out this dialysis nurse's page for a first-person account or check out this page for nurses at http://www.kidney.org/.
Your hemoglobin is low enough that you win a blood transfusion. What causes that anyway? This page at http://www.anemia.org/ has lots of references to the causes of anemia.
People are always looking for alternative treatments and this one was the topic of conversation lately. I found this via the blog, http://blog.bioethics.net/, which has lots of interesting articles, you don't want to miss.
NINDS at the National Institutes of Health has a lot of great articles on neurological disorders and stroke. A couple of my recent favorites: Spinal Cord Injury: Hope through Research and Stroke. The Know Stroke section has lots of great information on identifying stroke symptoms and what to do about them.
Speaking of getting lucky, KevinMD has a post about a researcher using his charms to get a favorable rating for Seroquel.
And finally, on a silly, but serious note, a lot of celebrity doubles are roaming around out there. One of our residents reminded someone of this guy.
