Nebraska Legislature Advances Ultrasound Viewing Bill
The Nebraska Legislature on Wednesday voted to advance a bill (L.B. 675) that would require abortion providers who perform ultrasounds on women seeking the procedure to tell women that a view of the fetus will be available and display the screen in a way that the image can be easily seen, the AP/Lincoln Journal Star reports. The bill also would require the state to compile a list of clinics that offer no-cost ultrasound services. State Sen. Brenda Council (D) criticized that particular provision, saying it would force the state Department of Health and Human Services to spend more taxpayer money.Lawmakers advanced the bill by voice vote after approving an amendment to clarify language surrounding the qualifications of health professionals performing ultrasounds. Advocates for the bill claim it would provide more information to women seeking abortion procedures, while opponents of the bill argue that it would allow the government to interfere in a private procedure. The bill faces a final vote before going to Gov. Dave Heineman (R). If the bill becomes law, Nebraska would join more than a dozen states that have similar laws, the AP/Journal Star reports (Ortiz, AP/Lincoln Journal Star, 5/27).

Three pseudo kinases of the Tribbles family have been recently recognized, which include TRB1, TRB2 and TRB3. Recent research has found that the expression of hepatic TRB3 increased in a rat model of diabetes. TRB3 could block the insulin signaling pathway through inhibiting Akt activation, which contributes to insulin resistance.

The Society For Clinical Ophthalmology Hopes To Improve Basic Ophthalmic Surgical Training Using Video Footage From The Theatre

The Society for Clinical Ophthalmology (SCO) is now working with UK-based Consultant Ophthalmologist, Mr Som Prasad, to supplement ophthalmic surgical training with an online forum that offers videos and online discussions of surgical techniques. Mr Prasad is a Consultant Ophthalmologist at the Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and feels passionately about the need for a solid basic training in ophthalmic surgical techniques. "A lot of the meetings we attend and the journals we read concentrate on new treatments and techniques," Mr Prasad explains, "yet basic training tends to be left to a combination of "apprenticeship" with a trainer and osmosis from those around you." The SCO is founded on the principle of sharing need-to-know information with the necessary people as quickly as possible to help drive up standards in eye care. In recognition of the complementary nature of its own and Mr Prasad"s goals, the SCO has agreed to collaborate with Mr Prasad to offer videos and information on basic surgical techniques through the society website. Mr Prasad intends to discuss the basic surgical techniques involved in various cases using video clips in a specially-designated section of the SCO site starting with - "Retina Surgeon". "I find that the best way of learning surgery, or improving one"s technique is by watching your own surgical video," Mr Prasad explains, "this is an extension of the same principle - by letting others watch your footage, you can benefit from others ideas about how to improve your surgery." Mr Prasad is keen, in time, to expand the area to include a wide range of surgical techniques and invites video contributions highlighting surgical problem solving and techniques from fellow ophthalmic surgeons. There will be opportunity for all those who view the video footage to comment and offer advice on how to avoid such problems and improve techniques in the future. To encourage video contributions, Mr Prasad has also published advice on how best to capture surgical video footage. Society for Clinical Ophthalmology
