iTunes allows radiologists to save, sort and search personal learning files

July 21, 2008

iTunes has the ability to manage and organize PDF files just as easy as music files, allowing radiologists to better organize their personal files of articles and images, according to a recent study conducted by researchers at Renji Hospital and Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine in Shanghai, China.

"Most published medical papers are available on the internet in a PDF format now," said Li Jun Qian, MD, lead author of the study. "For radiologists, these electronic papers provide richer information (e.g. various cases, reviews and abundant, valuable images) than conventional textbooks and can be easily found and downloaded for further reading via online databases. However, managing PDF files is troublesome and it is difficult to find software designed for organizing them," said Dr. Qian.




Generally speaking, most people sort PDF files in folders on their PC by topic. However, using this approach does not solve the issue of how to file multi-subject articles, said Dr. Qian The study authors found that iTunes can address this issue due to its powerful search and sort functions, its ability to remember a user's favorite articles and its capability to support customized shortcuts for different topics and/or categories.

"One day I just happened to drag and drop a PDF into iTunes and was surprised to find that it was supported by iTunes. This means that you can search, describe, and rate PDFs just like you do the music files," said Dr. Qian. "We no longer need to keep PDF files in redundant folders."

Royal Society of Chemistry Retrodigitisation Project
For many reasons (including library space, degeneration of paper issues and the wider availability of data), there is an increasing demand for electronic access (including searching capability) to all chemical research archived by the Royal Society of Chemistry and for this content to be linked to other electronic content. To meet this demand, the Royal Society of Chemistry is pleased to announce that its Retrodigitisation Project is underway. The backfile will contain all articles published by the Royal Society of Chemistry (and its forerunner societies) from 1841 to 1996. It is estimated the backfile will contain 200,000 articles in 1,200,000 pages. It is planned that the project will be c

Genetic Heterogeneity of Icelanders
Research undertaken by Professor Einar 'rnason at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik and published in the January 2003 issue of Annals of Human Genetics highlights the inaccuracy of claims that Icelanders are a 'genetically homogenous' population. Professor 'rnason explains in his article: "Recently, statements have been made about a special 'genetic homogeneity' of the Icelanders that are at variance with earlier work on blood groups and allozymes." Iceland has been said to be an "island so inbred that it is a happy genetic hunting ground", ideal for gene mapping, and that "nowhere else has such a pure - and predictable - genetic inheritance" in the popular p
