This one is a good read. Enjoy friends! "The Evolution of Science and Regulation of Dietary Supplements: Past, Present, and Future"
When doing screening for a systematic review and Google Scholar is included in the search strategy do you do this in duplicate? How do you? I assume your individual google profile informs the search results. Do you do it incognito? But then maybe you want your profile to inform it if you normally search for similar articles? Do you have one person do the search, pull the citations, and then your two reviewers review that in duplicate? We plan to only screen the first 200 hits as per @nealhaddaway #medlibs Any thoughts? TIA!
@JReynoldsMLIS Agree to all your concerns. It is part of a robust search strategy that involves multiple databases searching etc. this specific question was how to best handle a less than ideal tool ;)
Yes you have it exactly. We’re hashing out inclusion criteria for a scoping review. Still very early days. I’m still trying to nail down exactly what they are after. We will likely need to tighten it up. While doing so i was curious as to what is a good set for “validating the search” and MeSH harvesting. I’m hearing 5-10 seems to be consensus. This is very helpful. Thank you.
#medlibs I have an (enviable?) situation where content experts have literally provided >100 citations for a systematic review search when I requested some seed articles. I'll use all of these citations as part of study identification but for seed study purposes in building the database search and "validating" it, how many should I suggest they try to cull it to? A dozen? Is there any formal guidance / guidelines on this? TIA!
Just released a fascinating episode on "The Brain Injury Forensics Podcast" about post-traumatic growth hormone deficiency (GHD) after traumatic brain injuries (TBI). I interview Richard D. Batson, ND, MSc (Endocrinology), Dipl. (Endo) who shares critical insights on the symptoms, diagnosis challenges, and the impact of untreated GHD on body, bone density, blood health, brain function, and overall well-being. Highly recommend for healthcare professionals, those involved in brain injury forensics and litigation, and anyone interested in brain injury recovery. Listen here: https://t.co/FbViar15QJ
At @thedispatch, every podcast is a flagship podcast. This week The New Yorker profiled the inimitable @whignewtons, host of Advisory Opinions, our flagship of flagships. The piece also mentions occasional guest David French for some reason.

Recent social network analysis of guideline meetings: a few panel members dominated guideline development meeting discussions. A ubiquitous problem that guidelines must address. One solution: chairs should be more assertive calling on quiet panelists. https://t.co/xreUiDDhTD
