New Grand Rounds!
This week's Grand Rounds is up at The Examining Room of Dr. Charles. These seem to be growing every week (maybe because now Medscape is publicizing it?). Lots of good posts this week. At the Biotech weblog, they discuss the use of fumarones to prevent biofilm formation, with the goal of making catheters and other implanted devices that are prone to infection safer. Red State Moron fleshes out the newest battle in the abortion debate: laws suggesting doctors "inform women seeking abortions that a fetus is developed enough after 20 weeks to feel pain." As RSM discusses, this is something that's not even been decided in the medical world, yet now they want to bypass that and write it into law. MedSleuth discusses the newest Clostridium difficile news--and s/he should know, having gone through a bout of C. difficile infection. Finally, over my med body! has a late submission on pattern recognition, and why it's not always a good thing.
