[TMIC] Neuro.Curbside.MD - neurologic disease search engine
For years, it has been difficult to find state of the art medical information on rare neuroimmunologic disorders. Even experienced neurologists may not have the case experience to accurately diagnose and treat rare disease like transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis. The challenge - particularly for physicians - is to find the right medical information, at the right time, within the right patient context. For the past several months, this unmet need has been tackled by the Transverse Myelitis Association in a unique partnership with Praxeon, a Boston-based healthcare startup. This month, we announce the debut of Curbside.MD (www.curbside.md), the first medical search engine devoted exclusively to neurologic disease. Curbside refers to the medical practice of the curbside consult - where physicians informally ask each other for advice on clinical questions. Praxeon set out to replicate that model online, enabling medical professionals to pose naturally phrased queries to real clinical questions, and to get an answer from the best of evidence-based medicine. Curbside.MD achieves this goal. Medical experts can get evidence based answers to real, naturally phrased medical questions. Curbside.MD utilizes a unique semantic fingerprinting technology to enable search around complete sentences and even paragraphs of medical information. Users are guaranteed accurate and relevant results from only the best evidence based information available. And best of all, this is a free site open to everyone. Curbside.MD represents a fundamental innovation within medical search and health informatics. The core technology is an underlying model embedded within the language of medicine. This enables the search engine to specifically understand medical terms and their abbreviations, synonyms and hierarchical relationships. Curbside.MD embodies a number of unique features not found within other search engines that enables the rapid identification of the right clinical answer. Results are organized intuitively into two major categories - Quick Consult for broad overviews for the novice, and Best Evidence for in-depth focus for experts. Users may also 'Specialize' by delving deeper into the literature with analytical tools that extract disease and drug terms for rapid sorting. In the coming months, Praxeon plans on supplementing Curbside.MD with a physician forum. In the Curbside forums, doctors will be able to consult each other on difficult cases, while simultaneously reviewing medical evidence - relevant to their conversation - in real time. This will represent a tremendous advance in information seeking for physicians treating all neurological disorders, including the rarest ones. They will have the opportunity to share their personal experiences and insights with treatment - within an evidence based context. For more details on the forum and other updates to the site, or to post your own comments, check out the curbside blog at http://blog.curbside.md. Give Curbside a try. Go to www.curbside.md and just type a question in the search box. And don't limit yourself to keywords; challenge Curbside.MD with a complete thought or question, even a paragraph of something you're interested in. We think you'll be impressed with the results and the potential for this new website. Here are some sample questions to start you off: Is the neuromyelitis optica IgG status of acute partial transverse myelitis predictive of longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis? http://www.curbside.md/focus/211 What is the diagnostic workup required to distinguish a spinal epidural abscess from transverse myelitis? http://www.curbside.md/curbside/entry_page/758

If your e-mails contain graphics, the TMIC filters might reject it. Check with Jim Lubin on that.

[TMIC] thanks for rollator suggestions!
Thanks to everyone who replied re: rollators. I am having second thoughts about the 'Dannie', because as someone suggested, the reverse brakes might be hard on my already painful hands. Thank you to whoever brought that to my attention. (I'm sorry I can't thank everyone individually, typing with one finger now). I like the looks of the Hugo, the seat looks supportive, and the price isn't bad. I might just order it and take my chances. Thanks again! Kevin

[TMIC] PARAPLEGIC NEEDS ADVICE ON MATTRESS
One of my paraplegic friends called to ask my advice on a mattress and I don't have a clue as to how to advise him so told him I would ask my TM family. He is at high risk for bed sores and has a lot of scar tissue on his buttocks. He has been bedridden for months with his last bed sore which was 4-1/2 x 3-1/2. He is wondering what the best pressure relieving mattress would be. At the moment he is using a waterbed but is willing to purchase a regular mattress. He has sheared that last bed sore twice trying to transfer from that waterbed so I'm wondering if a regular mattress would be better for him...??? Thanks so much for any advice, websites, anything that can help my friend make the right decision. ~ Lynn ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Re: [TMIC] thanks for rollator suggestions!
Hi Kevin, All your emails about a rollator have me thinking of getting one. I do not go many places anymore, just stay around home. And, I do have problems getting around at home too. I found a video of the Hugo at the link below. It does fold and looks real nice. I am glad you brought up the question of the Hugo as I guess I should give one a try.
