Tips For Searching Health Information

By Janet Wan  

When you are sick, it is usually a good idea to search for relevant health information online before you see your doctor. In this way, you can become prepared by knowing in advance both the related medical terminology and the questions that your doctor may ask during your office visit. Nevertheless, this is often a difficult task if you use traditional keyword-based search engines.

For instance, in order to have a rough idea which diseases you are having, both the presence and the absence of certain symptoms can provide important clues (e.g., whether sputum is accompanied by coughing). However, it is challenging to describe the absence of a symptom in a way that traditional keyword-based search engines can understand.

Medical Training Information in the US

By Marc Willis  

According to the author Marc McCutcheon in his book, 'Everyday Life in the 1800s', most medical students were learning the doctoring 'trade' through the apprentice system. That would mean that young men fifteen years of age or older would move in and live with established physicians and trade labor for education. The arrangement lasted anywhere from two to six years with some students then continuing on to a formal medical school for at least two to four more years of education and to obtain a degree. The majority of physicians at the beginning of the century, however, opened their practices without having obtained a degree. Five medical schools were in operation by 1810.

Another author, Michael Varhola, in his book, 'Everyday Life during the Civil War', makes the following interesting statements:

By David Urmann  

Medical resources are very important. You will never know when you will need it. It might change lives at the least expected moments. But these resources are expensive. They usually come in the form of thick books, like encyclopedias. And with the advanced medical research of today, it is very easy for these books to become outdated.

With expensive reference materials, people are hassled by going to public libraries to do their research. The medical students most especially are burdened with this problem. Some medical resources come out in the daily newspapers. There are also medicinal magazines that become sources for such publications. There are also announcements posted in the hospitals, clinics, schools and libraries.

Translation Services Improving Information Accessibility

By Natalie Eastaugh  

Translation Services for technical and especially medical information is a critical function that needs to be performed by experts who are knowledgeable in their fields as well as being expert linguists. A prime example of this was when the first information portal for HIV/AIDS information was developed for use in Africa. Finding reputable and technically accurate information for the portal was the first process and involved contracting information providers who had a sound reputation in the area.

The next step was to translate the information into one of the official African languages so that the portal could serve as a resource in a broad spectrum of communities. Although computer assisted translation can be useful in these instances it still requires a human operator to ensure accurate translation of the information. Also in the case of languages that are not widely spoken, mother-tongue language speakers are the best to use. In certain older languages there may not be a corresponding word for some of the more modern terms and an appropriate description then needs to be found, for example with the African HIV portal the term for vaccination in Xhosa did not exist.

Medication & Dietary Supplement Interactions - What You Should Know about Drugs and Vitamins

By Wong Shun  

So much news is made of the occurrence and prevalence of diseases such as cancer and AIDS; and of viruses such as Bird Flu and SARS that one could be easily be mistaken in thinking that humans are a species at risk. Although some of these possible pandemics are a sobering thought, you may take solace in the fact that we have a smaller chance of getting, and a better chance of beating, a damning diagnosis than ever before. In part, this has been achieved through the dual advance of the pharmaceutical and nutritional sciences: we have an arsenal of both nutraceuticals and drugs for prevention, treatment and cure.
