ll4.me Film Structure And The Emotion System - Greg M. Smith Films evoke broad moods and cue particular emotions that can be broadly shared as well as individually experienced. Although the experience of emotion is central to the viewing of movies, film studies have neglected to focus attention on the emotions, relying instead on vague psychoanalytic concepts of desire. Film Structure and the Emotion System synthesizes recent research on emotion in cognitive psychology and neurology in an effort to provide a more nuanced understanding of how film evokes emotion. Analyzing a variety and range of films, including Casablanca and Stranger than Paradise, this book offers a grounded approach to the mechanisms through which films appeal to the human emotions, demonstrating the role of style and narration in this process.Author: Smith, Greg M.

Dr. Alan Lockwood presents: "The Silent Epidemic: Coal and the Hidden Threat to Health" – Video

Dr. Alan Lockwood presents: "The Silent Epidemic: Coal and the Hidden Threat to Health"
On November 1, the American University in Kosovo had the honor of welcoming Dr. Alan Lockwood for a presentation of his recent book, "The Silent Epidemic: Coal and the Hidden Threat to Health". The forum addressed coal pollution, one of the most concerning issues threatening the planet today. Dr. Alan Lockwood, who is Emeritus Professor of Neurology and Nuclear Medicine at the State University of New York at Buffalo, documented the harmful effects that coal pollution has society #39;s health. He went on to describe how our dependency on this fuel is negatively affecting our individual health as well as permanently damaging the environment by way of global warming. Staggering statistics and studies show how the use coal as an energy source is slowly deteriorating the planet around us. Research to find safer alternatives should continue to be pursued globally. While the book concentrated on the effects of coal pollution in the United States, it was clear that many of those issues are prevalent in Kosovo as well. Because the coal industry is very prominent in Kosovo, a presentation on such a topic was of interest to both the faculty and students of the AUK community. Although this is an ongoing battle we have to face, education on such issues is the first step towards finding a solution.From:aukonlineuniversityViews:3 0ratingsTime:01:01:13More inEducation

Sickle cell anaemia is a genetic (inherited) blood disorder where red blood cells develop abnormally. In this video a specialist nurse explains what it is, and Junior describes living with the condition:

The estimated survival at 18 years is now 94 percent for those with HbSS sickle cell disease or HbS/beta(0) thalassemia and 98 percent for those with HbSC or HbS/beta(+) thalassemia.

Social media: how can doctors contribute?

Posted on by

"Social media: how doctors can contribute" is a brief but valuable opinion piece in The Lancet, one of the "big five" journals in the medical publishing world. I have suggested some practical examples before (http://goo.gl/eG7M1) and my comments are in the text below.

Most social media guides for doctors emphasize the need to:

- maintain patient confidentiality
- provide accurate information
- treat colleagues with respect
- avoid anonymity online if writing in a professional capacity
- be aware of how content is shared
- review privacy settings and online presence
- declare conflicts of interest
- maintain separate personal and professional profiles

Here are some quotes from The Lancet article:

"Accepting Facebook friend requests from patients is, in general, not advised. But what of situations where doctors and patients are genuine friends? (then it's OK in many cases).

What, too, of the benefits of doctors providing medical information via blogs, Twitter, or Facebook? Current guidance focuses more on the risks than the benefits of doctors' use of social media."

Providing only negative examples of social media use by doctors is like teaching medical students only with "Morbidity and Mortality" conferences. Providing examples of positive outcomes and best practices is essential.

Patients use social networks to research their symptoms, their doctors, their treatments, and to set up support and information groups.

Doctors can use social media to drive awareness, to provide accurate information, and as a portal to communicate with other physicians.

"Much is said about the dangers of social media. Care about posting in a public space is, of course, needed. Doctors, though, should seize the opportunities provided by social networks to improve the health of their patients, and do their utmost to ensure that the highest quality of health information and access to treatment is there for all."

Finally, some common sense thinking about social media use by doctors has made it into a top 5 medical journal.

Cycle of Online Information and Physician Education (click here to enlarge the image). An editable copy for your presentation is available at Google Drive:

The two cycles work together as two interlocking cogwheels (TIC). Here is how to facilitate the Rise of the ePhysican who works hand in hand with the ePatient:

Products of the Cycle of Patient Education: EQUALS

- Energy!
- Quality of life is improved
- Understanding of patient condition is improved
- "Affinity" - better physician-patient relationship leads to increased referrals to the practice, e.g. 2-5 new patients per week per physician, increased revenue
- Lower rate of ER visits, hospital admissions, phone calls
- Savings for patient and health system

They begin by looking at the classifications available and examine how adequate they are for defining the subtleties of behavioural changes in patients with neurological disorders. Coverage is broad-ranging, from related cognitive problems, the biological underpinnings and pseudoseizures, to clinical aspects and treatment issues. There has been a great deal of research in this area over recent years, but limited published reviews. This timely book covers the practical implications of ongoing research, and offers both a diagnostic and management perspective. It will be essential reading for all professionals engaged in the treatment of epileptic patients.
