PubMed Search & RSS : Workshop for Zorg 2.0 Event

75% of all online adult get health Information from the Internet.
Health questions drive internet users age 73 and older to the internet just as frequently as they drive Generation Y users, outpacing teens by a significant margin.
Researching health information is the third most popular online activity with the most senior age group, after email and online search.

For many HealthCare professionals the possibilities of the Web are still hidden.
The Zorg 2.0 Event wants to improve awareness, share information and learn healthcare professionals about the challenges the Internet has to offer. (automatic translated english version)
New media such as weblogs, online communities, Twitter, podcasts, vodcasts, RSS feeds, can support professionals in the exchange of information but also in exchange of experiences, facilitate hospital admissions, etc.
The internet can also be used as a 2-way communication between professionals and patients. The optimal use of the Internet in patient and healthcare is called Health 2.0.

A small aspect (but certainly not unimportant) of this is the searching for scientific medical publications and keeping up to date for medical staff. The largest, most used and free accessible web-based database is Pubmed.
In a workshop of one hour I will show the excellent functionalities PubMed has to offer to find more relevant publications easier and faster in combination with alert and personalisation options (e.g. MyNCBI & RSS).
Participants will try alternative interfaces that use Pubmed (and other databases) for finding publications on emergency -and related- medical services. Scanning, saving, sharing & re-using PubMed and other web data via personal startpage tools will be shown as well.
The Zorg 2.0 also offers workshops in Twitter, Linkedin, Pod- & Vodcasts and Second Life.

Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!).

UPDATE:  Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF:  http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do.

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that....   Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com.  With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation  ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone  into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things :  the base url string for the RSS feed:  http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
