The website for March is called Doctor’s Guide
(Personal Edition) (www.docguide.com)
and it is filled with information on stroke and
related subjects. As in other sites, you can view other medical information as
well. There are seven sections to
explore:
v Most Related
News
v All News
v All Webcasts
v All Cases
v Congress
Resource Centre
v All Medical
Resources
v My Personal
Edition
Some
of the topics covered in the Medical News and Alerts section in
the latest edition are:
v
“Abdominal
Obesity Identified as Independent Risk Factor for Stroke”
v
Ramipril
Reduces Stroke Risk, HOPE Trial Follow-up Reports
v
New
Model Incorporating Magnetic Resonance Helps Predict Stroke Outcome
v

The
Discussion
Groups and Newsgroups include:

Stoke (CVA)
It
is very easy to join the PERSONAL EDITION. It is free and
gives you email updates, specialized search and resources, and you can create
links to your favorite sites and journal reviews.
As
I have mentioned in other reviews, each site contains a lot of repetition, but
every site that I have visited always has something new - especially in the
journal reviews. I hope you can find something here that is important to you!
Take
care – Spring is coming!!!! J
