A model for enhancing worldwide personal health and wellness.

Individuals must increasingly take control of managing their own health affairs. This requires access to quality information that is not easily obtained from traditional social institutions. NetWellness is an electronic consumer health information service that provides a model for reaching the goal of enhancing personal health and quality of life. [1] We present a vision of consumer health information delivery in the 21st century, and a model for reaching that vision. Our experience to date, progressing through a five-phase model, is aimed at providing the best health information possible to the widest population possible.

Conscious sedation in cardiovascular procedures.

CS is commonly used in conjunction with CV procedures. Although CS provides a means to manage patient anxiety and discomfort, it also poses risks for the CV patient. The RN in the CV procedure lab plays a key role in the management of patients receiving CS. By formulating an individualized CS plan that integrates procedure risks, underlying disease processes, and medication effects, the RN minimizes patient risks and optimizes symptom management.

An electronic consumer health library: NetWellness.

NetWellness is a community-based, consumer-defined grant program supporting the delivery of electronic health information to rural residents of southern Ohio and urban and suburban communities in the Greater Cincinnati tri-state region. NetWellness is a collaboratively developed and publicly and privately funded demonstration project. Information is delivered via ISDN, standard dial, dedicated network connections, and the Internet. TriState Online (Greater Cincinnati's Free-Net) and other southern Ohio Free-Nets are key access points in the larger project communities. The other access points are more than forty workstations distributed at public sites throughout the project's primary geographical area. Design strengths and limitations, training initiatives, technical issues, and the project's impact on medical librarianship are examined in this paper. Also discussed are ways of determining community needs and interest, building political alliances, finding and developing funding sources, and overcoming technical obstacles. NetWellness's Internet address is: http:@www.netwellness.org.

The patient with post-transurethral resection of the prostate syndrome.

Based on the content of the article, the reader should be able to: (1) list signs and symptoms of transurethral resection of the prostate syndrome as it relates to the case study, (2) identify clinical manifestations that relate to different serum sodium levels, (3) identify the cause of the patient's temporary blindness, and (4) differentiate results between the use of hypotonic versus isotonic irrigating solutions.

Inorganic pyrophosphatase of rat liver mitochondria. Correlation of latency with catalytic properties and intramitochondrial location.

Stimulation of Mg(2+)-dependent inorganic pyrophosphatase activity several fold by disruption of mitochondrial membranes does not appreciably alter the catalytic properties of the enzyme. Stimulation is due to increased accessibility of substrate to the enzyme, which is not solublized on activation. The enzyme is attached to the inside of the inner membrane, and under physiological conditions probably hydrolyzes only intramitochondrially-produced PP(i).

Approaching equity in consumer health information delivery: NetWellness.

The growing public interest in health and wellness information stems from many sources, including social changes related to consumers' rights and women's health movements, and economic changes brought about by the managed health care revolution. Public, hospital, and medical center libraries have been ill-equipped to meet the increasing need for consumer-oriented materials, even though a few notable programs have been established. The "Information Superhighway" could be an effective tool for sharing health information if access to telecomputing equipment and training were available to those with an information need. The University of Cincinnati Medical Center, with its libraries in the leading role, is delivering NetWellness, an electronic consumer health library service, to residents of 29 counties in three midwestern states. Users connect directly through the Internet, through regional Free-Nets, and by visiting one of 43 public access sites where networked workstations have been installed. The continued success of the project depends on developing partnerships, providing quality content and maintaining fair access.
