We’re almost half way through breast cancer awareness month. Bring Your Brave is a new campaign focusing on young women with breast cancer. While breast cancer usually effects women over the age of 45, it does occur in about 11% of younger women. Breast cancer can be hereditary however that’s not always the case. There are ways you can reduce your risk of getting breast cancer such as limiting your alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy weight and breastfeeding.
Breast cancer symptoms include but are not limited to:
- Lump in the breast or underarm/armpit area
- Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
- Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
- Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.
It is important to get screened if you notice any symptoms early on, in order to start fighting back sooner than later.

Recently, PubMed has announced that it has changed a few popular features that you may notice in your search results:
Within the article summary display, two changes have been made. The term “Related Citations” has been changed to “Similar Articles”. It was thought that “Related Citations” was ambiguous., The algorithm to generate the results of a search on for similar articles has not changed, just the name of the feature. Also, the status tag line has been removed from the article summary display. Most users will not notice this change but experienced searchers may. The status tag line is still included in the Abstract display.
The “Save Search” link for creating My NCBI email alerts has been renamed “Create alert” and the “RSS” link has been renamed “Create RSS”. Once again, these changes will not affect the functionality of PubMed they are only intended to eliminate ambiguity and to make the process smoother.
Finally, for those who use PubMed Mobile, there have been updates with a number of styling modifications and additional enhancements including a “Trending articles” feature.
For more information about these changes, you can refer to the New and Noteworthy link on the bottom of the PubMed screen or refer to the NLM Technical Bulletin.
Dr. Paul Harch‘s latest clinical trial on the effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatments on brain injured patients is in the news. The study is seeking 50 patients to undergo 40 treatments.
The CDC wants us to have a Healthy Holiday season…so they posted a webpage and a podcast and three e-cards (1, 2, 3) and …a song, sung to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas. (The song is also featured in card 1.)
Enjoy!
Thanks to Circulating Now, NLM’s historical blog, I learned about the Story of Wendy Hill, created by the US Public Health Service in 1949.

Earlier in July, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio received a CTSA (Clinical Translational Science Award) Community Engagement Project Award from the South Central Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine for their 12-minute educational video to improve awareness of the skin staph infection CA-MRSA.
According to the UTHSC website, “The primary goal of this project was to promote the role of librarians as partners with CTSA-funded researchers in production of community focused educational materials. Partnering with librarians on the project were researchers from the Pharmacotherapy Education & Research Center and the South Central Area Health Education Center.”

As someone who took a puff on her Dad’s pipe as a kid (to my everlasting regret), this study shouldn’t be a surprise…
The CDC is reporting a huge increase in the number of phone calls to poison control centers involving e-cigarettes and children under the age of 5. Liquid nicotine to the eye doesn’t sound good.
