Subject: weight loss revelation
Status: R

I have been chronically overweight for many years.  It seemed that no matter
what I tried, I had negative results.  

Recently, I came in contact with a guy in Virginia who carries a complete
line of all natural weight loss aids.  I figured, what the hell, I have to
keep trying and it is guaranteed.

Without radical change to my diet and no increase in my exercise level, I
have noticed remarkable reductions in my weight.  I feel energized and not
hungry, a breakthrough for me.

I am sharing this with you because of as a Volunteer Firefighter, myself, I
know the importance of staying slim and healthy.

His name is Bruce and his number is 1-800-438-6269.

I am in New York, he is in Virginia.  Call him for particular information.
 Contact me if you want a first hand opinion on this remarkable program.

Healthfully yours,

LarryN1400@aol.com

+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
CALL FOR PAPERS - 1995 EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON HEALTH
INFORMATICS, PARIS , FRANCE, 24-25TH OCTOBER
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Organized by Information Management Research Group of the
University of Central Lancashire, PRESTON, UK.

The Conference Committee invites submissions of abstracts. As 
Information Technology increasingly plays a major role in the 
provision of healthcare throughout the world - both in public and 
privately funded health services - it is clear that there is a growing
need for research into the application of information systems, 
systems thinking and health care information management

This call for papers invites individuals who are working in any of 
these areas toi submit an abstract of no more than 500 words. To 
ensure high quality, each abstract will be refereed by an international
panel.

Authors of accepted abstracts will be required to submit a complete 
paper and to attend the conference to present their papers.

Contributors are encouraged to address any related topic including:

*   health informatics
*   use of systems thinking
*   case mix management systems
*   medical audit
*   medical expert systems

The authors particularly wish to attract a diverse range of participants 
including clinicians, academics, health service personnel but not 
excluding other interested parties

INVITED PRESENTATIONS
The conference will also feature a number of keynote speakers from 
experts in the field from Europe and north America, including 
Professor Anthony Wensley from the University of Toronto.

CONFERENCE INFORMATION
All admissions for the conference must include the registration
information requested at the bottom of this mail. The conference will 
take place at the Disneyland (Paris) Convention centre. The Centre is 
45 minutes from Orly and Charles de Gaulle airports, and only a short 
train ride from the centre of Paris for the more culturally minded.
The resort includes 6 hotels from economy to deluxe, and a wide 
range of leisure facilities.
Before and after the conference, Disneyland are offering substantially 
reduced rates for accommodation and park entry rates for delegates 
and their families

Further details are available from the Conference Secretary.

     Dear Colleagues:
     
     As you have seen in the Preliminary Program for MLA/7ICML there will 
     be an internet center at the meeting.  The coordinators of the 
     internet center are trying to identify home pages at sites outside the 
     US that they can point to from the internet center.  Specifically they 
     are searching for sites that would have internet instructions in 
     languages other than English.
     
     If you are aware of any such sites, please send the URL to me with a 
     brief description of the home page itself.
     
     Thanks for your help.  I'm looking forward to meeting you all in just 
     a month!
     
     Pam

Liebe Medibibler,
haben Sie schon meinen Fragebogen (31.3.) beantwortet? Er war nicht nur an
Mediziner gerichtet, wie einige meinten, sondern auch an
Medizinbibliothekare! Bisher habe ich leider erst drei Antworten von dieser
Spezies erhalten, seltsamerweise alle drei aus der Schweiz. Ich hoffe ja
noch stark :-) ein paar deutsche (und oesterreichische) Antworten zu
bekommen, sonst muss ich die Analyse umbenennen in "Internetnutzung dreier
Schweitzer Medizinbibliothekare" ! ;-)

Ansonsten moechte ich daraufhinweisen, dass man jetzt im Katalog der
Deutschen Zentralbibliothek fuer Medizin recherchieren kann (telnet

State Drug Resources: 1994 National Directory is a
comprehensive guide to the State agencies that
address drug abuse concerns.  About 15 drug abuse,
criminal justice, and policy offices are listed for

a national resource center for drug-related crime
information.

The 1994 State Drug Resources Directory is
available on the NCJRS Bulletin Board System
(telnet to ncjrsbbs.aspensys.com) or you may direct
dial (301) 738-8895.  This information is organized

***SERVER UPDATE***

I have finished moving my servers around (for the moment) and have settled
down on the following file locations for the various home pages I have
gathered on the NetVet Veterinary Resources Web and Gopher Servers.

Briefly, the webserver is a new machine, but has assumed the old domain name
.

A longer list of the common URL's people point to is below.

The Netvet Gopherserver underwent a name change and will now be:


or

Host=vetinfo.wustl.edu
Port=70
Type=1
Path=1n:/vet

I am tracking down broken links, but it's hard to find them all.  If you
happen across one in your websurfing travels, please contact the server
owner to make the appropriate changes.  Thanks for your help and the many
letters of support.

Take a look at:

This includes a 3-D reconstruction and fly-through the brain, among
other organs. You need an mpeg viewer to see these.

IBIS, the Interactive BodyMind Information System
http://www.teleport.com:80/~ibis

        AMR'TA, a pioneering organization that two years ago released
the most comprehensive data-base software package available in the
natural medicine field, has just opened three new health information
services on the Internet.
        The medical research and teaching organization now offers two
home pages on the World Wide Web providing a broad array of
information on natural medicine for both general and professional
audiences.  In addition, a new mailing list opens a fresh forum for
discussion among health professionals.
        The first website, "Natural Medicine, Complementary Health
Care and Alternative Therapies,"  is a place to access health
information as well as reference health organizations, medical
institutions and other health resources available on Internet.  The
site's Internet address is http://www.teleport.com:80/~amrta.
        The second website provides introductory information on the
pioneering AMR'TA software program, IBIS, the Interactive
BodyMind Information System.  That Internet home page can be
reached at http://www.teleport.com:80/~ibis.
        A third new service, PARACELSUS, is a mailing list aimed at
promoting communication, cooperation and exploration among
health care professionals. Subscription is limited to practitioners,
educators, researchers and students in alternative and conventional
medical fields. The list is intended to focus on interesting cases,
practical clinical pearls, recent publications, useful anecdotes and
medical news.
        "We all have unique experiences, different perspectives and
valid insights. No one has all the answers," commented Dr. Mitchell
Stargrove, Research and Education Coordinator of AMR'TA.
"We can serve our patients best and advance the evolution of the
healing arts and medical science best by working together, sharing
ideas and being willing to learn," the naturopathic physician continued.
        Those wishing to participate in PARACELSUS should send a e-
mail message to , reading "subscribe
paracelsus". As part of the subscription approval process, send a
biographical note indicating training, practice and interests to
.
        AMR'TA, the Alchemical Medicine Research and Teaching
Association, is a nonprofit institution formed by a group of health
professionals in 1987 to investigate natural medicine and provide
education integrating a wide range of therapies. In 1993  the
organization released the IBIS software package.  More than 100
medical professionals spent four years compiling and editing IBIS.
        The result is the most comprehensive software package
available in the natural health field. Hypertexted for easy and quick
cross-referencing, the 10,000-page data base covers 282 common
medical conditions, and offers treatments from more than 16
systems of conventional and natural medicine.  Among them are
acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, homeopathy, naturopathic
medicine, psychospiritual approaches and various techniques of
physical manipulation and exercise.  IBIS includes detailed
information on 120 herbs, and dosage information on more than 300.
        Medical professionals from across the world now employ IBIS.
Its users are represented in all regions of the U.S. and dozens of
nations, among them Germany, Brazil, Sri Lanka, China,
Egypt  and Saudi Arabia.  Both IBM-compatible and Macintosh
versions are available. IBIS is available only to health care
professionals; tools for the general public are in development.
        IBIS is published by GAIA Multimedia Inc.  In the U.S., IBIS
information is available toll-free at (800)627-6851 weekdays 9 a.m.-
5 p.m. Pacific Standard Time.
E-mail is for AMR'TA is

Message-id: <9503137977.AA797791110@ccmail.aa.hcia.com>

     Lots of topics here.....

     Fundamentally, the are thousands (around 18,000) of ICD-9-CM Diagnosis
     (dx) and Procedure (px) codes.  Additions/Deletions are released every
     october.  Generally, there < 100 code changes every year.  At the same
     time, a new Grouper is released.  The Grouper software assigns DRGs.
     There are around 500 DRGs and they are used primarily for
     reimbursement purposes but also for casemix analysis (evaluating
     patients that fall into 500 buckets of similiar resource consumption
     is far easier than looking at 18000 buckets).  The grouper software
     uses an algorithm to assign DRGs so you can't just look at the Dx/Px
     codes to figure out the DRG.  DRGs are typically assigned by looking
     at the Principal DX, and top 4 Pxs but this is a generality and there
     are exceptions.  DRG Definitions manuals can be purchased from 3M and
     there is "one version" per year.  The manual is approximately the size
     of most dictionaries (e.g. 1 volumne).  Most "users" of DRGs actually
     purchase the DRG software and have a manual for occasional reference.

     Now about ICD-9-CM and world wide use......

     The World Health Organization controls the release of ICD-9 (note not
     ICD-9-CM).  ICD-9 was released around 10 years ago and they are in the
     process of releasing ICD-10 right now.  ICD-9/ICD-10 is dx only (hence
     the name International Classifications of Disease - ninth/tenth
     edition).  In the US, a clinical modification was done to ICD-9
     creating ICD-9-CM.  In this clinical modification, there was greater
     specificity to the ICD-9 dx codes and they added px codes.  Lots of
     countries use ICD-9 or ICD-9-CM on the DX side and then have their own
     px classification system (e.g. UK uses OPCS, France uses Catalog,
     etc).

     3M has offices out in Salt Lake City.  I don't have a phone number but
     you should be able to get via 1-800-555-1212, 3M Healthcare Sales etc.
     The title should be the DRGs Definition Manual.  I'm not sure of the
     current cost.

     ICD-9 is for Cormorbidity Coding (in other words why did someone die).
      "All" countries in the world work with WHO and report annual Deaths
     using ICD-9.  2ndardy uses of ICD-9 have been used (e.g. tracking of
     all diseases, wether they cause death or not).  Reason that people
     would request to use a ICD-9-CM or ICD-9 code book is that they have
     an alpha index in them (e.g. a person could say what ICD-9-CM code
     would be assigned to a patient with Diabetes, the coding books would
     then walk you through a tree like structure to see if patients have
     high blood pressure, etc to get you to the correct ICD-9-CM code.
     Frankly, using the code books isn't for the faint of heart and you
     need to have a lot of medical terminology to use them correctly).  If
     you need information on ICD-9-CM coding books, you can call
     1-800-521-6210 and ask for ICD-9-CM book sales (Note: I work for a
     company that sells ICD-9-CM books so I've given you our sales #, there
     are other companies that sell ICD-9-CM books also.  Basically, all the
     companies price the books competitively).

     I think the cost of ICD-9-CM and DRG books is probably under $100.

     In terms of US vs WHO, the US has representatives on the WHO.  When
     developinig new classifications like ICD-10, there are large
     committees from multiple countries with different specialties that
     combine their expertise to develop it.  What the US then does is
     decide when/if they want to implement it for hospitals, etc.  The
     driving force there is NCHS (National Center for Health Statistics)
     and HCFA (Health Care Finance Administration???).  Since HCFA oversees
     the Medicare reimbursement, they are the ones that really drive the
     decisions on new Groupers and DX/PX coding systems (e.g. he who has
     the bucks, makes the rules).

I attempted to post this previously, but I never saw it on the list. This
is a resubmission.

Looking through some government documents I found a book titled "International
Classification of Diseases, 9th ed." The introduction states that it is used
in hospital indexing of diseases. Undr the classification of "Human Immuno-
deficiency Virus (HIV) Infection, there is a list of approximately 100 condi-
tions which are listed as either "due to HIV infection" of "with HIV
Infection." The number due to HIV far exceeds the number on the revised CDC
AIDS case definition (1993).

Date: Fri, 14 Apr 1995 08:14:39 -0400 (EDT)
From: IRP 
Subject: RE: ICD-9 and DRGs 
Message-id: 

Diagnostic Related Groups (DRGs) are assigned categories of similar cases
(from clinical and resource usage viewpoints).  Depending on the
particular DRG system used (there are 4-5 systems, the most common by far
is Medicare's HCFA DRGs), there are 400-600 "categories" defined.

A case is "fitted" into a DRG based on the principal diagnosis code, the
presence or absence of specific secondary diagnoses,
complication/comordity diagnoses, and operating room/non-operating room
procedures, all specified in ICD-9-CM.  The age, gender, and discharge
status of a patient (discharged alive, expired) also are factored into
the assignment process.  All this information is contained on the
inpatient UB-92 claim form for the case.

Because the DRG assigned to the case depends on all these factors, there
is no "simple" ICD-9-CM code to DRG mapping possible.  The actual
determination logic is quite complex and logic-tree-driven.  The DRG
books exhaustively list each DRG, its assignment tree logic and the
ICD-9-CM code and short description for each DX and Procedure involved in
the determination.  Hence, it's a pretty large book.  Each year there are
minor changes to HCFA's DRGs, due to changes in ICD-9-CM codes, and to
refinements in the assignment logic made due to clinical practice changes
and resource usage patterns (charges/costs) discovered in the preceding 2
years of Medicare claims data.  That's why there's a new book each year.
It's being going on for 12 years - that's about 1 bookshelf worth.

The DRG is a primary data element in inpatient cases.  Only 1 DRG per
case.  Most internal and external case mix systems, cost reimbursement
systems, payor analyses, etc. etc. use the DRG as a starting point to
analyzing inpatient health care expenditure patterns and forecasting demand.

Old ICD-9-CM coding is needed only to support analysis of discharges that
occurred under prior years' DRG systems.  When changes are made to DRGs
each year, they are made prospectively, for discharges after October 1 of
that year (through September 30 of the following year, coinciding with
the Federal Fiscal Year).  Prior years' cases continued to be paid,
analyzed, and grouped using the prior ICD-9-CM codes and DRG system.

By the way, the program that assigns DRGs to a case is called the DRG
GROUPER.  The new Medicare DRG Grouper is approved by HCFA each September
and the version that the Medicare Intermediaries use for payment
calculations is in the public domain.

Most hospital information systems and billing systems incorporate the
Medicare DRG Grouper program into their Medical Records and BIlling software.

Numerous vendors incorporate DRG groupers into their Medical Records
coding products.

You can purchase a simple, standalone PC-based DRG grouper program
(called DRG/Calculator)  from IRP Systems, Inc. for only $499.00.  Call
1-800-634-0496 ext 3.  With it, you can enter all the data elements for
an inpatient case and get back the DRG and the expected Medicare
reimbursement.

To: Hannah King 
Message-id: <950413162249_74327.70_HHJ64-1@CompuServe.COM>

I'm responding privately to your request for information because you posed so
many questions, that I didn't want to take up space on the HIM-list on issues
that are relatively familiar to other subscribers to the list.

ICD-9-CM is a classification system to put into numeric groups diseases,
symptoms and procedures.  They are used for data collection as well as to report
conditions treated and services provided for reimbursement purposes.  At the
hospital inpatient level, ICD-9-CM codes are then further grouped into DRGs
(Diagnostic Related Groups).  ICD9 and DRG are not equivalent and you would not
be able to find out a DRG in an ICD-9-CM coding manual.  Old editions of ICD9
are important for historical purposes if you are evaluating or interpreting data
from previous years.  The ICD classification system is maintained through
updates that are published once a year and become effective October 1.  This
results in some codes being changed with 5th digits added, totally new codes
added, or codes deleted.

To get a complete listing of current DRGs you can obtain these from the Federal
Registry, or there are a number of publications that include a list of DRGs.
Health Systems International (HSI) publishes DRG Definitions Manual.  This book
not only lists all DRGs, but also list the ICD9CM codes that fall under each
DRG. In addition, it provides the decision tree for DRG assignment.

I'm not sure that I can address which is more important.  They are both
important depending on what you intend to do with them.

The international ICD9 are different in that the international system was
developed for morbidity and mortality classification.  The American system has a
clinical modification (the "CM" component in ICD-9-CM).  This modification was
created for use in the U.S. (although it is also being used in several other
countries such as Canada and Australia). In many instances the modification
means additional subclassifications that do not exist in the international
version. In the U.S. it includes conditions that someone may have that are
serious enough to seek care, but may not necessarily result in mortality.   Also
the international version only contains diagnostic codes (i.e. no procedures).
The American version has procedure codes which are maintained by the Health Care
Financing Administration (HCFA).  The National Center for Vital Health
Statistics (NCVHS) is responsible for maintaining the diagnostic codes for
ICD-9-CM.

Since DRGs are used for hospital inpatient reimbursement of Medicare
beneficiaries, HCFA is responsible for them.

I'm not sure what your medical records department refers to as their DRG manuals
that take up a whole bookshelf.  This may include their coding books and other
related materials.  DRGs are also stored electronically.  Most hospitals will
assign DRGs automatically through their encoding or abstracting system.  All
they do is enter the appropriate ICD-9-CM codes for the conditions treated and
the services provided, and the system will assign the appropriate DRG.

I hope I've answered your questions.  Feel free to contact me again if you need
additional clarification.  I work for the American Hospital Association's
Central Office on ICD-9-CM.  We are the official clearinghouse for ICD-9-CM
coding advice and coding guidelines.  We publish Coding Clinic which is the
official dissemination publication of coding guidelines developed by the four
cooperating parties:  American Hospital Association, American Health Information
Management Association, HCFA and NCVHS.  We take coding questions from
subscribers and other users of ICD-9-CM, and also work with several physician
specialty groups to determine the best coding assignment on difficult questions.


I'd be happy to provide you with any more information you may need.  You can
e-mail me or call me at (312) 422-3396.  How is the weather in Syracuse?  I am
going to SUNY in a week for the Telemedicine demonstration and the HOST

The message below was posted to Medlib-L, but was not included in
the regular selections posted to lis-medical. I wanted to try
out the home page described before passing on the information.

What Millard Johnson has complied is the most worked-out and
thoughtful description I  have seen of what a virtual library
might look like, and how it might work. [Regular readers of
the selections may recall his thoughtful contributions to
earlier discussions.]

Do try this web page. The address is in Portland, Oregon and I had no
great delay in getting access as late as 3.30 pm: the morning
could be even better. The http below must be entered (as usual)
with total accuracy, and that is a tilde before the z.

If you are stimulated by what you read, share your thoughts
with lis-medical.

Here's the posting:-

Date:    Thu, 13 Apr 1995 17:16:43 PST
From:    Millard Johnson 
Subject: virtual medlical library

Several times, on this list (MEDLIB-L), I have chided the MLA for not
being more active in developing networked applications for medical
libraries.  Several people have expressed agreement with my view.
For example:
 > I share your sentiments.  i will even reactivate the Hospital's
 > Institutional membership in MLA if something useful comes out of
their
> offices - useful in term of being to justify the membership costs to the
> institution.  I would vote for setting up a Clearing house for Crirical
> Pathways samples, as an instance.
>
 Several others have asked if the MLA homepage is what I had in mind.
It is not.  While it is a very handsome web page, and a useful service to
librarians, it is not a cooperative effort in the sense of libraries pooling
their resources and their professional talents.  It does little to move the
average medical librarian into the mainstream current of electronic
information management.

To demonstrate what a Virtual Medical Library might look like I have
mocked up a model. Take a look at:

http://www.portals.pdx.edu/~zendog/v1ib.html

Anyone with ideas for improvements, or additional cooperative features,
send them along and I will try to incorporate them.  The hope is that this
will give you some ideas when you lean on the people with power asking
them to move into the 1990's.

Again, the virtual medical library is not expensive.  The technology is
mostly in place.  All that is needed is the will and the leadership.  It is,
however, a truly ugly political and administrative problem.  There must
be some folks who enjoy that sort of challenge.

Subject:  CD-ROM life span

The following information may be of interest to most of us:

CD-ROMS. A WHITE PAPER.
by Bart Wilson
(Former) Kodak Photo CD Platform Manager

                                                    ...Since physical
contact does not take place during the playback, the recorded media should
not break down under normal use. But how do we define normal use? A
perfectly recorded one-off, prerecorded or pressed CD left untouched in a
drive that is maintained with consistent climate controls should be able to
withstand repeated use without damage. But did you know that most all
manufacturers of CDs; audio, computer programs, data storage, etc., only
warranty their CDs for 10 years? Exercise: The next time you buy another CD
audio disc from your local music store, call and ask them how long they
warranty the life of that disc. The answer, if you even get one, might
surprise you.

At .03=A2 cost per megabyte, CD-ROMs offer a very inexpensive storage
solution when it comes to their analog counterparts - magnetic hard drives,
removable optical or SyQuest cartridges, and WangDat or Exabyte tape. And
data on most CD-ROM archives today are guaranteed to last at least ten
years or more.

But for archival issues, 10 years isn't very long. Anything considered
archival must last at least 100 years according to William R.  Nugent,
director for the Center for Innovative Management and Technology at the
Library of Congress.

Oxidization, product or media obsolescence and data loss are big concerns
with many libraries around the country. Peggy Steele is the acting director
for Library Systems in Louisville where they use CD- ROM to store only
reference works such as the Readers' Guide to Practical Literature and
Medicine. She worries how long a CD can last beyond the 10 year warranty.
"That's why in most libraries the most common use of CD-ROM is in the
reference section, where works are updated often."

CD-ROM Decay "Oxidization." What is this? When applied to CD-ROMs,
oxidization occurs when oxygen eventually reaches the recorded material, or
silver (or gold) surface that is sandwiched between two layers of plastic.
When oxygen and moisture reach any unprotected metal, it rusts.  Tests have
concluded that it takes roughly 10 years for oxygen to begin finding its
way through the porous membrane of the acrylic or plastic layers protecting
the recorded material of a CD-ROM. Ultra-violet radiation, extreme changes
to atmosphere and humidity can accelerate or delay this process but in
brief, most CD-ROMs in use today aren't going to live to see the 21st
century. Additional CD-ROM enemies are scratches, too much sun,
fingerprints and those treating them as miniature Frisbees or drink
coasters.

Something To Think About The only thing that lasts forever is Styrofoam.
The cup you threw away today will still be around 50,000 years from now.
(Source: Los Alamos Labs)

It's All In The Mix All CD-ROMs are manufactured with one of two different
inorganic dyes.  Cyanine and pthalocyanine. To determine if your CD-ROM
will be around for your Grandchildren or not, here is an easy method you
can use to find out.

Hold the CD under bright light and make sure you have the playing (shiny)
side up. This is the side without any writing on it. If your disc was
manufactured with cyanine, you will notice the reflection has a slight
green cast to it. Discs manufactured with this dye are expected to last
approximately 10 - 20 year under normal use.

If your disc exhibits a deep gold sheen in the reflection, your disc was
manufactured with pthalocyanine. This is a superior inorganic dye, and has
proven to be exceptional durable under the most extreme conditions for
preserving the integrity of CD-ROM data. Discs made with this dye have been
proven to last over one hundred years using the carbon-arc accelerated
aging test.

Bart Wilson was the former Kodak Photo CD Platform Manager at Qualex Inc.,
(a division of Eastman Kodak) the World's largest Photofinisher.  He now
consults with many corporations such as IronMike Software, Eastman Kodak,
Winona International School of Photography, the Santa =46e Workshops and
also delivers imaging seminars at national trade shows on color management,
image archival solutions and interactive multi-media. Wilson's interviews
and reviews on color management products have appeared in Publish!, Folio,
Photo District News, Electronic Photographer, MacWEEK, Color Publishing,
and the Wall Street Journal.

Subject: Re: ref-fax #s for Oklahoma city hospitals

I guess faxes are okay today... yesterday we tried to stay off the
phone lines.. circuits were extremely busy. Also, the blast damaged or
destroyed many towers on tall buildings downtown... limiting the number
of channels available for beepers and cellular phones.

Thanks to so many of you for your kind email messages of concern...
I'm forwarding them to other medical librarians in the OKC area (our
GOAL - Greater Oklahoma Area Health Sciences Library - Consortium...
mostly hospital libraries in the OKC area.)

Subject: Re: Where to send help/cheques?

FEED THE CHILDREN is an Oklahoma City based organization which has
delivered tons of food to disaster areas all over the world... and
now has a disaster at home. The phone book address is 333 North
Meridian, Oklahoma City, OK, 73107... phone 405/942-0228

PS  I had my facts backwards in the message about libraries and
directory assistance... the phone company is still answering
the directory assistance questions... but they borrowed phone
books from libraries all over town because they could not
use their own computers....

Some folks, thinking of traditional disaster relief  in the
wake of floods and tornado, have asked where they could donate
clothing. This is a different kind of disaster. People did not
loose their homes and possessions. They lost their lives.

Most of those treated and released from our hospitals... the bloody
people you saw walking around on TV ... were not in the Murrah
building, but were hit by flying glass from the windows of the
surrounding buildings. Local TV  stations have been asking for
supplies for the folks at the site... sunscreen, lip balm, climbing
rope & tackle... blankets and pillows for when they (or the
families waiting atFirst Christian Church for news of their
missing) need sleep...

Most of the people hurt in nearby buildings go to ER's in private
vehicles... The nurses and other licensed personnel from my
hospital who went to the Murrah building  came back ... how
shall I say it? ... profoundly disappointed  because there were
so few survivors they could help there.

2. OPHTHAL
A moderated and edited list for Ophthalmology geared toward ophthalmology
residents, faculty, clinicians, researchers, physicians, and medical
students.
        LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU

3. Archives of OPHTHAL and related files are stored in the OPTHAL FILELIST.
To receive a list of files send the command as the first line in the body
of the mail message. (not the Subject: line).

    INDEX OPHTHAL

to LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU



To subscribe to OPHTHAL, send the email to

    LISTSERV@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU
with the following as the body of the message (not the Subject: line)

5. Gopher site at gopher://eyecare.eyesite.ohio-state.edu

6.  The Association of Vision Science Librarians has a reflector, so you
can send messages to:
  avsl@library.berkeley.edu

7.  Lippincott is about to release Duanes ophthalmology text on CD and also
a disc with 2 years full text of the journal Ophthalmology plus several
more years of abstracts and the AAO preferred practice patterns.  Mosby is
also coming out with several ophthalmology cd programs, and the staff at
Wills Eye Hospital is working on an atlas that will be put out by
Lippincott.

8. Individual has a service called HeadsUp.  You get daily reports by FAX
of all new developments in your profile.  Request ophthalmology for your
topic.  There is a one month free trial.  There phone number is

Subject: new teratology resource

The current issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics (p 1249) has a
nice review of a recent book - TERATOGENIC EFFECTS OF DRUGS: A RESOURCE FOR
CLINICIANS (TERIS). Friedman JM, Polifka JE. Johns Hopkins Univer press,
1994, $125.  Having this book, Briggs, Paul, and Shepard make a nice core of
books for handling teratology questions (in my personal opinion).  I'm glad
to see it.  pam

Subject: Library Icons Source

    Thank you all for your interest in my recent posting regarding the
value of a centralized source for Library Icons. Please find below the
URL for _one_ site that I discovered that contains several very appropriate
library-related/relevant icons.

     http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu:8001/usr/as8w/stand.html

    I believe that libraries and librarians will find the HP Icons and
Topical groupings of greatest interest.

    As a result of my query, I have been informed of interest and efforts at
the international level to formally establish a library icon collection. It
is my understanding that discussions about such a collection are to be held
within the next week or so. I expect that several initiatives will be made and
that the library community will be informed about these by the end of May.

    I am prepared to post to all relevant listservs and newsgroups when
the formal announcement is made.

Liebe Medibibler,
endlich habe ich die Moeglichkeit und Zeit gefunden, Ihnen ein bischen von
den beiden Kongressen in Washington zu erzaehlen, die ich besuchen durfte.
Der 95te jaehrliche Kongress der Medical Library Association und die siebte
Tagung des Internationalen Bibliothekswesens wurden in der Woche vom 7. bis
zum 12. "gemeinsam" durchgefuehrt. Die Tagungen waren professionell im
Hilton organisiert, Sprecher aus Film und Fernsehen, nicht nur
Medizinbibliothekare waren eingeladen und lieferten nicht einfach nur
Vortraege, sondern teilweise faszinierende Performances ab. Die
Souveraenitaet der Amerikaner bzw. Ihr Selbstbewusstsein leasst sich u.a.
daran erkennen, dass eine der eingeladenen TV-Kommentatorin ("eine der 50
begehrtesten Frauen der USA") am Anfang ihres Vortrags sagte, sie haette
eigentlich keine Ahnung vom Thema und wuerde deshalb was anderes referieren.
Neben dieser DAme war ein Medizininformnatike, eine Kulturanthropologin und
am Schluss der Internationalen Konferenz ein juedischer
Literatur(?)professor eingeladen worden, der uebe die Unterschiede zwischen
Homers Odysee, Abrahams Opfer in der Bibel und einem japnischen Haiku
philosophierte. In seiner souveraenen Art machte er sich noch nicht einmal
die Muehe, einen Bezug zum medizinischen Bibliothekswesen an den Haaren
heranzuziehen, was dem Vortrag aber nur gut tat und fuer mich eine
willkommene Abwechselung und ueberaus interessante Anregung darstellte.
Ich habe die genauen Zahlen nicht im Kopf, aber es duerften so 2000
amerikanische Bibliothekare und ca. 250 internationale gewesen sein. Die
Sessions jagten sich nur so, so dass sogar Breakfast-Sitzungen und
Lunch-Seminare (gegen Unkostenbeitrag) angesetzt wurden. Es sei nur jedem
empfohlen, einmal die Atmosphaere eines solchen Kongresses zu schnuppern,
spaetestens im Jahre 2000 ist ja in London dazu Gelegenheit, wenn man nicht
schon naechstes JAhr nach Portugal faehrt. Wie immer war die geringe Zahl
der deutschen Teilnehmer zu bedauern, die von Saudiarabien locker in den
Schatten gestellt wurde. Obwohl es lange Zeit so aussah, als wenn wir mit
den Schweitzern gleichziehen koennten dank eines ueberraschenden Besuchs aus
Berlin, unterlagen wir doch in diesem ganz persoenlichen "Kraeftevergleich"
am Ende denkbar knapp mit 4:5 !  
Jeder, der sich im Vorfeld der Konferenz geaergert hatte, sein Paper nicht
durchgekriegt zu haben und nun zu einer Postersession verdonnert worden zu
sein, konnte dann trotz der denkbar unguenstigen Zeit von 7:00-8:30 eine
grosse Aufmerksamkeit und engagierte Diskussionen erleben. 
Am Rande der Konferenz konnten vers. Bibliotheken wie z.B. die NLm besucht
werden, dabei standen einem Mitarbeiter, die z.B. die Klassifikation
erarbeietet hatten, Rede und Antwort. Ueberraschend selbst fuer
NLM-Mitarbeiterinennen war die Ankuendigung der NLM, die Rehersche in
MEDLINE kuenftig per WWW fuer jeden weltweit zu oeffnen. Bisher war die
nationale Verbreitung von MEDLINE den nationalen MEDLARS-Centern (DIMDI)
vorbehalten. Die wird sich also gottseidank aendern! Weiteres, auch von
meinen Besuchen in diversen Bibliothekenen und von den "Continuing Medical
Education Courses", die ich absolviert habe, sobald ich wieder ein Terminal
mit Internetzugang erwische. Bis dann,
Mit fr. Gruessen aus den Staaten

Ihr Oliver Obst

Medlib-l Digest 5.5. - 12.5.95

Liebe MedibiblerInnen

Ein betraechtlicher Teil der Diskussionsbeitraege in Medlib-l hat sich
diese Woche um das Thema "hospital role in consumer health" resp. "virtual 
library" gedreht. Dabei ging es, wie so oft bei solchen Themen, auch um die 
Frage der zukuenftigen Rolle der (Medizin-)Bibliotheken. Die Diskussion ist
noch im Gang. Solche Diskussionen lassen sich nur mit einem zur Zeit nicht
erbringbaren Aufwand zusammenfassen. Vielleicht sehen Sie sich durch dieses
Thema aber veranlasst, sich wenigstens temporaer bei dieser Liste
einzuschreiben oder die Liste auf "set medlib-l mail" umzustellen.

Im folgenden finden Sie, in chronologischer Reihenfolge, Angaben zu neuen
und fuer Sie hoffentlich interessanten Internet-Adressen und
Veranstaltungen.

Subject: Re: Nuclear Medicine Department floor plan

there is a listserv in Canada that radiation safety professionals subscribe
to.  I know that many of the subscribers work in nuclear medicine
departments.  The listserv address is:

                        safetyline-rad@unixg.ubc.ca

There is also an organization in the Washington D.C. area that publishes
guidelines (including design) for medical facilities that use radioisotopes
or radiation producing equipment.  The name of the  organization is the
National Council on Radiation Protection (NCRP).

You may also try contacting the U.S Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). I
think they are based in Washington D.C. but have regional offices throughout
the U.S. where their inspectors are located.  The NRC is responsible for
approving facility designs as part of their licensing process.

National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine has been
helping people with lung disease for almost a century. From our beginnings
as a tuberculosis hospital, people from across the country have come to
National Jewish when they have been unable to find relief elsewhere. Today,
National Jewish is recognized as one of the nation's premier treatment 
centers for respiratory disease and immune system disorders, in particular,
pediatric and adult asthma, emphysema and COPD, allergic conditions,
immunologic disorders and tuberculosis and other mycobacterium infections.
National Jewish has pioneered treatment programs that improve a person's 
quality of life and reduce long term medical costs.

The new National Jewish Web site will contain the following information,
with over 20 pages already available:

Consumer Information: Lung Line - National Jewish's free consumer 
information service Consumer Health Information Fact Sheets Clinics and
Programs at National Jewish.

Medical and Scientific Information: The National Jewish Center Faculty.
Physician Consultation Lines at National Jewish Center Web Pages of
Scientific Interest to National Jewish Staff. Call LUNG LINE (1-800-222-LUNG

Subject: NEW: WWW Internet Communication Forum in Human Molecular Genetics

Dear colleagues,

To improve the quality of HUM-MOLGEN communication, we are
very happy to introduce to you: the HUM-MOLGEN WWW site! HUM-MOLGEN now
combines list-communication with a brand-new, exclusive WWW-site at the
address

http://www.informatik.uni-rostock.de/HUM-MOLGEN/

(via NETSCAPE; capitals in the adress are important)

The conventional E-mail service and the WWW-site are set up as one
interactive unit: The E-mail service will further focus on condensed,
summarized active information and communication of your key-interest. The
WWW-site will focus on much more extensive passive information and
communication, which can also be selected by choice. In general, subscribers
to HUM-MOLGEN will have the advantage when it comes to pre-information, new
features, etc.

Both list- and WWW communication on HUM-MOLGEN are equally divided in
TOPICS, such as you are used to (NEWS, CALLs, ANNOuncements, COMPuters
science in genetics and Internet highlights, molecular DIAGnostics/clinical
research, LITErature,BIOTechnology/molecular biology,ETHIcal/social)

Communication on HUM-MOLGEN remains entirely FREE and very FAST. Subscribers
can easily ANNOunce meetings, events or positions, CALL for collaboration,
and look for, send or receive all sorts of summarized information of
HUM-MOLGEN interest. From the LITErature, previews of journals, articles of
hard-copies can be sent or received on HUM-MOLGEN. COMP specializes in
communication in Internet highlights and computational genetics. The DIAG
section is especially suited for communication between clinicians and
biologists. BIOT will a.o. provide communication about new products and
information about new techniques as well as commercialisation of Human
Genome research.

The NEW HUM-MOLGEN WWW site is:


- - -A Medical, Clinical Genetics and DNA diagnostic Service on-line.
- - -a one point entry, and easy acces for clinicians and molecular
     biologists to Internet highlights in the field of Genetics
- - -An Interactive forum for collaboration and digital meeting place for
     clinicians, molecular biologists and geneticist, as well as other
     individuals interested in the field.
- - -a host for Literature and preview information
- - -a host for Biotechnology and molecular biology compagnies, publishers,
     DNA diagnostic laboratories, hospitals and clinical genetic centres
- - -a host for new products, techniques and developments;
- - -provide technical information, protocols and methods-on-line

Liebe MedibilerInnen

Im Zusammenhang mit dem Diskussionsthema, auf das ich im letzten Digest
aufmerksam gemacht habe, ist eine interessante WWW-Site genannt worden (s.
Pkt 1.). Im uebrigen war mein Vorschlag, dass Sie sich zur Verfolgung der
Diskussion kurzfristig in die Liste einschalten sollten, ein bisschen
voreilig (resp. zu spaet), denn es ist sonst nicht mehr viel gegangen in
dieser Richtung.
Das 2. Topic, ein WWW-Workshop hat mit Medizin direkt nichts zu tun,
vielleicht finden Sie das aber trotzdem anregend. Jedenfalls kann ich es
wagen, aufgrund meiner eigenen Erfahrung mit einem vergleichbaren Workshop,
Sie zu einer Teilnahme zu ermutigen.

Date: Tue, 16 May 1995 01:17:20 -0700
From: "Thomas P. Copley" 
Subject: ANNOUNCEMENT: Make the Link Workshop

MAKE THE LINK WORKSHOP (WORLD WIDE WEB FOR EVERYONE)

Make the Link Workshop (World Wide Web for Everyone) is a six week
distance-learning workshop conducted entirely by e-mail. It
introduces the beginner to the World Wide Web (WWW), the Internet's
distributed hypermedia information system, as well as enhances the
skills of the somewhat more experienced user.

WWW is a powerful hyper-textual medium for integrating all of the
resources of the Internet.  You can read through a page of text, and
on the spur of the moment, link to related information anywhere in
the world. For example, after reading a short piece on twentieth
century abstract art, one can link to and view a collection of color
prints of paintings by Picasso, Klee, and Mondrian. A high school
biology student in Japan can dissect a frog the easy way by linking
to a California lab and accessing its collection of magnetic
resonance images of a frog--in effect, a virtual frog dissection. A
business woman in Paris, France can check out the "home page" of her
counterpart in Toronto, Canada, complete with his picture and
professional vita. There are thousands of computers throughout the
world on the Web and literally millions of interconnected WWW pages,
and all are easily accessible from your desktop computer.

Since the 1993 introduction of Mosaic, a wildly successful WWW browser
program, WWW, or simply "the Web," has taken the Internet by storm,
and has become, along with gopher and FTP, one of the most popular
Internet applications, if not THE most popular.

WWW's amazing growth has resulted largely from its ease of use and
power to almost instantaneously transport a rich array of text,
graphics, sound, programs, etc. to the computer desktop with the
click of a mouse button. However, WWW can also be successfully used
in a text-only mode, or even by those who have access to the Internet
only by e-mail.

Having a WWW home page providing one's personal information has
become the 1990's version of the business card,  resume, telephone
answering machine, and on occasion, electronic recreation area, all
rolled into one. In fact, WWW provides the opportunity to participate
and collaborate with others at many levels.

The Make the Link Workshop will focus on how to gain maximum
advantage from this simple to use, yet very sophisticated, Internet
tool. During the workshop, you will learn:

* How to gain access to the WWW, including information on setting up
  a direct TCP/IP connection to the Internet (SLIP/CSLIP/PPP).

* How to link to specific Web resources using Uniform Resource
  Locators (URLs). This includes how to construct URLs for various
  kinds of resources, such as WWW, gopher, FTP, telnet, etc.

* To distinguish between various kinds of WWW browsers, including
  Netscape Navigator, NCSA Mosaic, Arena, Agora, Lynx, etc. and the
  strengths and weaknesses of each.

* How to navigate Webspace and use various searching tools such as
  Wandex, CMU Lycos, WebCrawler, MOMspider, and others.

* To make WWW bookmarks and organize your bookmarks with Hypertext
  Markup Language (HTML).

* How to effectively and efficiently design your own home page with
  HTML and install it on a server.

* The principles of good home page design, in order to project a
  favorable image for you and/or your employer or business.

* Advantages and disadvantages of HTML editors such as HoTMetaL and
  HTML Assistant and related utilities.

* How to build interest in your home page through USENET Newsgroups,
  mailing lists, IRC, BBSs and MUDs.

Make the Link Workshop (World Wide Web for Everyone) begins on June
19 and lasts six weeks until July 30, 1995.

The cost of the workshop is $20 US.

To sign up for the Make the Link Workshop, please send an e-mail
message to the address:

     majordomo@arlington.com

and in the body of the message, include:

     subscribe links

This will automatically put you on the mailing list for more
information about the workshop, and you will receive an
acknowledgment with the particulars about signing up.

In order to get the most from this workshop it is helpful to have
access to a WWW browser program, either by remote access, or by
actually running one on your own computer directly connected to the
Internet. If you wish to run Netscape or Mosaic you will need to have
a computer with a TCP/IP connection, that is, a direct connection to
the Internet. Information will be provided in the workshop on setting
up a TCP/IP connection. To participate in the workshop you only need
access to e-mail. However, it is very desirable to actually use a WWW
browser.

The workshop leader, Thomas P. Copley, Ph.D., has taught the popular
Go-pher-it Workshop, an e-mail course on the Internet gopher for more
than one year. Make the Link Workshop (World Wide Web for Everyone)
is his newest venture in the field of on-line education. Dr. Copley
is one of the founders of the Electronic University in San Francisco,
and is an experienced instructor of distance learning courses via
networks. In addition to consulting for Apple Computer, Inc. on
hyper-textual distance-learning software, Copley has served on the
faculties of Washington State University, Antioch College, and
Armstrong University. He is also the Editor of the electronic
newsletter the TELELEARNING NETWORK SYNTHESIZER.

Subject: Ebola Virus

In addition to the CDC Ebola page:  http://www.cdc.gov  (click What's New)
medlibers may want to look at another WWW site:


Someone has set up a page about the recent Ebola virus
outbreak in Zaire.  You should be able to find it at
"http://ichiban.objarts.com/ebola/ebola.html".  It's
full of information and links regarding the recent Ebola
virus outbreak in Zaire.  Among discussions of the
pathology of the virus, you'll find the latest information on the
search for "person zero", even road maps of Kikwit!

carrying on interesting discussion on EBOLA. One of our residents is
doing a grand rounds on this subject and was able to down-load image of
virus itself off of www--with the help of her husband who has the
graphical interface on his computer to do it.

The Lithuanian Library of Medicine


" Dear Elisabeth,                               01.21 1995
... I must confess that we are very much upset here, in Vilnius. 
We are so much disappointed and upset with the attitute of our 
government towards libraries, and namely, towards our library. 
It's almost a year that we are fighting hard for the existence 
of our Library. After almost 20 years of waiting, we are now in 
the centre of town and in our own building given by the former 
government. 

... Now that we are successfully functioning for almost three 
years, we have to give up our building for this government has 
decided to give it to the Court of Appeal. We have to move till 
the end of March, and that with a collection of 700,000 books 
and journals! 

We have appealed here and there. The press and the medical society 
and librarians, supported our struggle, but nothing helped.  We 
even were scared that if we do not go, our Library will be closed 
and the holdings given to the University. 

... Some of us are leaving the library for good, because they are 
tired of such an uncertainty. 

... I am staying, but I am upset and helpless because I know what 
it is to carry books and things all way up 5 floors without any lift....  

That building is a factory in the suburbs, and we think that means 
a slow death for our library. 

... Our director still fights, meets people, is doing a lot to fight 
back our building which is given to the Ministry of Justice. ... " 
(extracts, letter Jan. 21, 1995)

Lithuanian Library of Medicine


EAHIL Letter to the President of Lithuania

I am writing on behalf of the European Association for Health Information 
and Libraries to express the Association's grave concern at recent 
developments concerning the Lithuanian Library of Medicine. An effective 
and properly funded medical information service is an essential component 
of a national policy for Health. Without such services, it is impossible 
for health care professionals to provide proper and cost-effective care 
for the population. International accredition and recognition of medical 
education programmes and qualifications is also likely to be at risk in 
such a situation. 

To develop and perform effectively, library and information services 
require a relatively stable environment within which proper collection 
and service planning to take place. The difficult economic climate in 
which Europe's emerging countries have to operate make it more than 
usually difficult to achieve an ideal operating environment, but the 
enforced removal of the Lithuanian Library of Medicine to unsuitable 
accommodation and at short notice threatens the viability and future of 
an important national resource.

On behalf of this Association, I urge you to reconsider the Lithuanian 
Library of Medicine's position in the light of my letter and to take 
steps to provide it with adequate and assured accommodation in which to 
contribute effectively to the development of Lithuania's national health 
care system.

Elisabeth Husem
EAHIL President

4th Week of May, 1995

try http://www.hk.net/~enzo/pdm/bm_gutmh.htm

For those of you who asked that we shorten things up a bit,
please note this is about half the size of previous editions.


The major questions of this installment of "Ask Dr. Internet" are:

1.  How Can We Subscribe/Contribute to "Ask Dr. Internet?"

The easiest way to subscribe/contribute to Dr. Internet is to send
email to internet@jg.cso.uiuc.edu

All items of general interest will hopefully be included in future
issues of Dr. Internet.  Your comments, questions, and suggestions
will usually appear in the next week's edition if you send them.

Please address your email to internet@jg.cso.uiuc.edu, rather than
to the particular location you might read our postings.


2.  More About Viruses and Trojan Horses and Such.

Simple Rules of thumb:

Read any files with a word processor or other non-system program--
meaning a program that is not loaded as the operating system, such
as DOS "type" and UNIX "more" or "less."  More on this below.

Download your files from reputable sources that have tested them.

You are safer downloading via modem than from disks.

***

Several people have commented about some [subtle to me] difference
between viruses and Trojan horses and the like.  Suffice it to say
that [I will call them all viruses for now] they all require a few
items in common with the system they are attacking.

Obviously items targeting certain pieces of DOS would not have the
same effect on a Mac or UNIX system, and vice versa.  Also, if the
specific added drivers a particular virus or Trojan horse used for
its "host" were not present, then it probably would not be able to
do any damage.  In particular, we have been informed that the text
virus [this one is actually a Trojan horse] requires certain "ANSI
drivers" to attack, and since my system does not have those in the
autoexec.bat, it turned out I could not make it attack.  Actually,
I have tried several viruses on experimental systems, and have not
had any success in activating them, so it is obvious that some are
dependent on items of hardware, firmware, or software in a target,
before they actually go off.

The general rule of thumb has been to import your files via modem,
ftp, or what have you, rather than by disk.  Many viruses required
certain disk sectors to work but certainly not all; so don't think
this, or anything else, is the last word on viruses, etc.

As for the "Etext Virus":

"Technically that would be a trojan horse, not a virus, but true.
Of course it would only work if one were to view with more or
type rather than list or a word processor."

"more" and "less" are UNIX programs for reading files.
"type" is a similar DOS command [ANSI type driver required, too,
for this particular kind of Trojan horse]


3.  More About Creating Plain Vanilla ASCII files.

Several people experimented with sending us files during the week,
with various aspects of success and failure but all eventually did
get their messages to come out neatly on our test screens, using a
few test mailers for receiving them.

Please remember to actually LOOK at the file with a plain viewer a
minute before sending the file, until you are sure you have a good
way to save your word processor files.  Common problems manifested
themselves as strings of """"  [usually from not having the delete
key properly defined in UNIX]. . .and " for ', and "=" and "=20"'s
sprinkled at the ends of lines. . .these are usually caused by the
application of a generic word processor output that still marks an
"end of line" character for each line or paragraph.

Remember, find yourself a Plain Vanilla ASCII viewer to test files
for hidden or high order characters.

"more" is a decent plain viewer for UNIX; LIST is a good one for a
DOS user, and suggestions are welcome for Mac viewers.  MacSink is
a favorite among some, but details are sketchy about some parts.


4.  How Do I Insure No One Else Is Reading My Email?

As far as NEVER going to be able to read your Email, probabilities
are that as computing power continues to increase, the odds are in
greater and greater favor that any encryption scheme can be broken
by the application of greater and greater resources.

If computing power is increasing by 50% per year, then it would be
57.67 times more powerful in only 10 years, and any encryption set
that would take 57.57 years to crack today, would only take a year
to crack a decade from now, and less than a week in two decades.

If you think your files are going to be of interest to someone far
down the road a few decades from now, not even the best encrypting
schemes of today are likely to do you a lot of good as long as the
computing power continues to increase this fast, and three decades
from now that 57 year task of today would probably be something an
ordinary person could run during a lunch break.

The PGP [Pretty Good Privacy] program is probably as good as any--
and is available all over the net.  We won't be posting the places
you can get it, due to FBI restrictions on encryption, but we will
be talking about how to do such searches in future installments.


5.  The Future of Dr. Internet on Various Servers.

Several servers on which Dr. Internet has been appearing may be in
doubt for future issues.  We hope to have set up an automated form
of subscribing by next week and will encourage any list moderators
to decide if they want to continue carrying Dr. Internet or have a
portion of their users subscribe directly.

On the other hand, Dr. Internet has spread widely beyond the dozen
or so places we originally posted it and several state systems are
asking permission to post it to their organizations.  We will do a
few experimental runs of various ways to get Dr. Internet to you--
then announce the ones that work the best.

We appreciate the support we have received very much; Dr. Internet
has taken off much more quickly than we imagined, and we hope your
questions and suggestions will keep coming in.

Please remember:  Neither "Ask Dr. Internet" nor any other service
is likely to be the absolutely perfect last word on any subject or
even the last word to be supplied by the "Ask Dr. Internet" staff,
as each week we have the chance, and the obligation, to update the
questions we have previously dealt with.

You are STRONGLY ENCOURAGED to send in any additional information,
and we would be glad to include a credit to you in posting it; let
us know exactly how to credit you.

We will try to answer ALL questions of general Internet interest.

Subject: Wollen sie "besondere" englische Vokabeln lernen?
Status: R

Diese Mailliste schickt ihnen jeden Tag eine englische Vokabel mit
Definition. Probieren sie es mal aus. Meine erste Vokabel war:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
abio.gen.e.sis n [NL, fr. a- + bio- + L genesis] (1870): the supposed
   spontaneous origination of living organisms directly from lifeless
   matter -- abi.og.e.nist n

1. What is A.Word.A.Day?

   The music and magic of words--that's what A.Word.A.Day is all about.
   It is a service from the wordserver at wsmith@wordsmith.org which mails
   out a vocabulary word (in English) and its definition to the subscribers
   every day.  You can think of it as a word trek where we explore strange
   new words.
------------------------------
4. How can I subscribe/unsubscribe?

   Send a message to:
	 wsmith@wordsmith.org
   Leave the body of the message blank and make the subject line as follows:
   To subscribe:
	subscribe 
   To unsubscribe:
	unsubscribe
   To get the archives of A.Word.A.Day:
	archive mmyy
   where mm is the month and yy is the year. e.g. to get the postings
   for July 94 subject line should be:
	archive 0794
   To receive FAQ (you are reading it):
	info A.Word.A.Day

   You can also subscribe to AWAD using its WWW page (see next question).

------------------------------
   5. Can I get AWAD by other means besides the mailing list?

    o AWAD home-page has FAQ, words and more on the World Wide Web. Point your
      browser to:
        

    o Vinay Kashyap (kashyap@oddjob.uchicago.edu) has set up a finger-server
      which sends a randomly selected word from AWAD archives.  It is an
      excellent way to review the previously posted words. To use it,

Liebe Medibibler

In der letzten, um ein paar Tage verlaengerten Woche ist nicht viel
Aufregendes passiert in Medlib-l. Da ich nicht weiss, wie reisefreudig die
Teilnehmer dieser Diskussionsliste sind, resp. wie es mit ihren
Moeglichkeiten diesbezueglich ueberhaupt aussieht, bin ich unsicher, ob ich
Programme von Konferenzen in den Staaten auch in den Digest nehmen soll. Ich
mache es diesmal so, dass ich nur die ersten paar Zeilen weitergebe; wer
sich aufgrund dieser Angaben fuer die gesamte Mail interessiert, kann diese
bei mir beziehen (betrifft Topics 3. und 4.)

Subject: Cardiology Discussion List

                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                              - Cardio-L -
                         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     a) Aims and Purposes: Cardio-L is  a  discussion  list  that
            starts its activities in May/1995, orienting  them to
            the dissemination  of the different topics related to
            cardiology and  cardiovascular medicine. As such, its
            central  objective  is  to  reinforce  bonds  between
            researchers and clinics related to the  speciality in
            Ibero-America, seeking thus to  promote  both  inter-
            consult and interchange of knowledge  and experiences
            on the aforementioned subject.

     b) Subject matter: Although it is not intended to  limit the
            participants scope to a predefined list of  topics, a
            reasonably ample initial biopsy of subjects liable to
            be of interest to incoming members  of  the  list  as
            regards their development and discussion.

                  o  Office-Based cardiology
                  o  Interventionist cardiology
                  o  Molecular cardiology
                  o  News - Advances
                  o  Information to patients
                  o  History of Cardiology
                  o  Cardiovascular surgery
                  o  Bibliographical references

     c) Language- The official language of the  list  is Spanish,
            although incoming messages in other related languages
            such as italian and portuguese are  accepted. Reports
            and articles in the  English  language  may  also  be
            published in Cardio-L.

     d) How  to  participate  ?   Subscribing   to   Cardio-L  is
            entirely free of charge. Subscription is attained  by

Subject: New AHCPR post-stroke guideline online

A stroke rehabilitation guideline released today by the Agency for
Health Care Policy and Research makes specific recommendations for proper
evaluation of stroke survivors, matching their needs to the most appropriate
rehabilitation services and careful coordination in delivering these services.

The guideline offers health care providers a list of standardized assessment
tools -- for example, measures of neurological deficits, mental status, and
motor function and balance -- that can be used across the board to evaluate a
survivor's medical, psychological and neurological condition.  The guideline
also gives specific criteria from these tools to help determine admittance to
different kinds and levels of rehabilitation programs.

The full text of the guideline products is available through HSTAT (Health
Services/Technology Assessment Text) via the National Library of Medicine
at http://text.nlm.nih.gov.  For other online options, request AHCPR
publication no. 94-0075 from the AHCPR Publications Clearinghouse at

Subject: GratefulMed Discussion List

Found this on a recent HICNet Medical News Digest I received.  I haven't
seen a posting about it on Med Lib so sorry if this is duplicated:

GFULMED on LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU - Grateful Med Discussion

        GFULMED is an open, unmoderated discussion list concerning
        all aspects of the Grateful Med PC software.  Grateful Med
        is produced by the National Library of Medicine to make it
        easier to search medical databases, including MEDLINE.
        Using this software you can search for medical information
        against all the major medical journals.  There are also
        databases you can search for information on various drugs,
        toxic substances, AIDS Research, and so on.  You can search
        by any search string you want, including standard medical
        terms, use boolean operators in your search commands, and
        you can limit your search to specific years or even months.

        The GFULMED mailing list is for discussing issues related to
        this software.  It is not for requesting searches or for
        getting medical advice.  If you have a need for medical
        information, please contact your physician or your local
        library.  Some communities also operate a public health
        library.

        Archives of GFULMED mail items are kept in monthly files.
        The list is also available in a digest format; the digestified
        mail is sent out once a week.

        You may obtain a list of files in the archives by sending
        the command in the BODY of e-mail to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU:

        INDEX GFULMED

        To subscribe, send the following command in the BODY of mail
        to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU:

    The Grolier Club of New York has announced the publication of "One
    Hundred Books Famous in Medicine."  This catalogue of an
    exhibition held at the Grolier Club in 1994 should be available
    this summer.

    From their publicity -- "Designed to read as both a guide for the
    collector and as an overview of the key publications in the
    history of medicine...  Haskell Norman (editor) assembled a panel
    of 23 scholars, bibliophiles ... to assist him in choosing and
    describing the books."

Subject: Internet--art. of possible interest

For those interested in trying to keep up with developments concerning
Internet you might want to check out the May 5 issue of Science (pp.
628-9).  Its title is "Regulating Cyberspace".  Learn who the Father
of Internet is.  The byline states: "The explosive growth of the
Internet is leading to a collison with carrying capacity--and with
the legal community.  Internet directors are moving to avoid the
first impact, but not the second.
Basically, it summarizes what happened at the 1995 Internet Society
Summit held in San Diego from April 11-12.  Also, Internet Protocol
version 6 (IPv6) is discussed.
Happy reading.

I guess the BIG question and debate is that the Internet Society is a
non-profit organization with no statutory authority or enforcement
power; staffed mostly by volunteers (truly each and every one of
them heros or heriones deserving some kind of metal).  Anyway the
question is, how can you regulate something that's international in
scope.  Sounds like a job for both Superman and Superwoman to me!!!

in Portland, Oregon. Habe noch mit keinem gesprochen, der sie schon erhalten 
hat. Anfragen habe bisher auch noch keinen Erfolg gehabt. Und morgen ist schon
der 1. Juni. .....  Dabei sollte die Auflage meines Wissens schon im 
vergangenem November rauskommen.
