PsychiatryOnline November Book of the Month
This is Dr. Sabshin's personal journal of the history of the intellectual conflicts and changes in the field of psychiatry in the post-war era. He encourages psychiatric professionals to change the field so it can employ an empircally based "bio-psycho-social" model that has the potential to revitalize the next phase of American psychiatry.

TransFac trial
The D. Samuel Gottesman Library and Research Informatics Core (RIC) are sponsoring a trial of TransFac, a database on gene regulation and transcription factors.
Along with Proteome, which is currently available from the Library, TransFac is part of Biobase Knowledge Library (BKL). BKL allows users to make queries and to generate new information based on data from the literature.
Also available in this trial is the accompanying tool, ExPlain. To use Explain, you must create a free account on the BKL site.
While we have the trial for TransFac and ExPlain please use your Remote Access ID and password to login.
The trial will run through the middle of November 2009.

BMJ Case Reports trial
BMJ Case Reports is a peer-reviewed collection of cases in all disciplines. It includes common and rare conditions, and has more than 1000 articles from over 55 countries. The aim is to publish cases so that healthcare professionals and researchers can easily find clinically important information on common and rare conditions. Case reports published in other BMJ Journals will also be adapted for publication.
"The challenge of medicine is not only in managing the routine and well researched, but in recognising the strange... It is the minority of cases, that are not what they seem, that present the greatest challenge and risk."
"Case reports stimulate learning and research. As a time-honoured tradition of medicine they are capable of developing new subject areas, providing educational material and are among the most read content in journals. Case reports are very sensitive for detecting novelty which is useful in recognising new diseases as well as new side effects of drugs, both adverse and beneficial."
