Chapter 6: Your personal HealthNet
| Health is a concern in most families. Where a family member or a friend
is suffering from cancer, AIDS, a serious disability, or a rare disease,
finding help is urgent.
Fortunately, there are many sources of information for those who want to know more. First, you should check out the online world's health-related clubs and forums. In these, you can meet others with a given disease or problem 24 hours a day. Those who cannot sleep at night, are free to log in any time to "talk" with others. The members of these forums often feel part of a community. As in communities everywhere, people share both the good times and the not-so- good times. Many online communities have pulled together during crises, sharing the grief caused by the death of a fellow forum member, a loved one of a member or, occasionally, a celebrity. While the social aspect of joining a forum is important, it may be equally important to learn about other people's experiences with alternative treatment methods, doctors, medicines, and to get practical advice. Second, you should check out Usenet's Frequently Asked Questions texts on medicine-related topics. The FAQs represent information that newsgroup participants find essential in their disciplines. For example, the diabetes FAQ presents collected wisdom about diabetes resources. Read about how to retrieve these texts in Appendix 6 (under FAQ). Here are some examples to illustrate the width of the offerings in the online world: Emergency medicinePracticing First Aid without proper coaching can be as dangerous as not doing it at all. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing! The tips found on these links are not meant to be a substitute for attending a professional First Aid Course!
AIDSThe U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease home page (http://www.niaid.nih.gov/) is a rich resource of AIDS related information. The World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS is at http://www.unaids.org/, and the Official American Medical Association's (AMA) AIDS resource at http://www.ama-assn.org/special/hiv/hivhome.htm. ÆGIS (http://www.aegis.com/) claims to be the largest HIV/AIDS web site in the world. Its Today's HIV News, also available via email subscription, provides the latest news on treatment, statistics, policy, and research. This Hong Kong page at http://www.iohk.com/UserPages/mlau/aidshome.html has general information on AIDS, treatments and infections information, organizations, many links, etc. Usenet has newsgroups like sci.med.aids (AIDS: treatment, pathology/biology of HIV, prevention), bionet.molbio.hiv, sci.med.aids. If you do not have access to Usenet newsgroups, send electronic mail to majordomo@wubios.wustl.edu with the command "subscribe aids" to receive the sci.med.aids moderated news group by email. For more information, see http://www.aids.wustl.edu. HIVNET is an international network for HIV and AIDS information and discussion. For information, try one of these links http://www.hivnet.nl/ Try telnet://debra.dgbt.doc.ca:3000 for interactive AIDS documentation (simulated conversation). There also exists a FAQ document about AIDS (see appendix 6). CompuServe has a Human Sexuality Forum, and a MEDSig with associated file libraries. On the Well, enter "g aids". Health Database Plus is called The Health Periodicals Database on BRS and Dialog. It gathers information from over 240 journals targeted at either the lay person or the health professional. Example: Kidney diseaseIn Chapter 1, I told you that my wife has a rare disease called Polycystic Kidneys. Let me provide more details about what happened during the "online health trip" to CompuServe with her doctor: The command "GO HEALTH" gave us the following menu:
1 HealthNet
2 Human Sexuality
3 Consumer Health
4 NORD Services/Rare Disease
Database
5 PaperChase (MEDLINE)
6 Information USA/Health
7 Handicapped User's Database
8 Disabilities Forum
9 Aids Information
10 Cancer Forum
Another menu, listing available "PROFESSIONAL FORUMS," had choices like AAMSI Medical Forum and Health Forum. We also searched several medical databases. Menu selection five gave us The National Library of Medicine's database (MEDLINE), full of references to biomedical literature. This database had more than five million references to articles from 4,000 magazines from 1966 and up to the time of our search (1991). In 1994, it had grown to seven million references. Easy navigation by menus. Easy to search. Those with no medical training may find it difficult to understand the information retrieved from MEDLINE (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/). If this is the case for you, consider using databases of consumer health information, such as HealthNet or Health Database Plus on CompuServe. The AAMSI Medical Forum (MedSIG) is sponsored by The American Association for Medical Systems and Informatics (AAMSI). It is for professionals within health care, people within associated technical fields, and ordinary CompuServe users. Its members meet to find, develop and swap information. MedSIG has a library with programs and information files. This is an example of what you can find there:
ATLAS.ARC 21-Sep-88 30161
Keywords: STEREOTAXIC STEREOTACTIC STEREOTAXIS ATLAS THALAMOTOMY
MAP FUNCTIONAL GIF
This contains several of the most useful stereotaxic maps from
the Schaltenbrand and Wahren Atlas in GIF format. If you can
get GIF into your CAD or drawing program, you can scale the maps
to fit your individualized patient's AC-PC distance, thereby
generating a customized map for your patient.
CompuServe offers many programs for reading GIF files, and converting GIF files to other graphical formats. Through IQuest, we searched medical databases. Simple menus helped define relevant search terms. When done, IQuest searched selected databases for us, and presented the selected articles on our local computer screen. We used the "SmartScan" search mode in the "Medical research" area. IQuest searched several databases with a minimum of manual intervention. First, it reported that the following databases would be included in the search: BRS databases:
Ageline - Contains references to and abstracts of materials on
aging and the elderly. Covers psychological, medical, economic,
and political concerns.
AIDS Database - Includes critically selected articles covering
all aspects of AIDS, (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), and
AIDS-related research.
AIDS Knowledge Base - Provides an online textbook of the most
current information on AIDS available from San Francisco General
Hospital.
Combined Health Information Database - For professionals,
patients, and the general public, CHID contains references to a
variety of materials on arthritis, diabetes, health education,
digestive diseases, and high blood pressure. Provides abstracts.
Embase - Includes extensive abstracts of articles related to
biomedicine from medical journals worldwide. About 40% of the
references are online only.
Rehabdata - Covers articles, books, reports, and audiovisual
materials dealing with the rehabilitation of the physically and
mentally handicapped. References only.
Sport Database - Indexes publications dealing with sports,
including training, medicine, education, and history. Drawn
mostly from English and French with technical articles from
other languages.
Dialog databases:
BioBusiness - Deals with the business aspects of biotechnology and
biomedical research. Draws from BIOSIS and MANAGEMENT CONTENTS.
BIOSIS Previews - Provides international coverage of all
aspects of biological science.
Cancerlit - Monitors articles from journals and other technical
publications dealing with all aspects of cancer research
throughout the world. Includes abstracts.
Clinical Abstracts - Covers human clinical study articles of major
importance selected from leading medical journals. Includes all
aspects of clinical medicine. Corresponds to Abstracts in
Internal Medicine. Abstracts available.
Life Sciences Collection - Abstracts technical literature in the
life sciences from journals and other scientific publications
worldwide.
Medline (1966 - to date) - Indexes articles from medical journals
published worldwide. Corresponds to Index Medicus, International
Nursing Index and Index to Dental Literature. Includes abstracts
in roughly 40% of the records.
SciSearch - Monitors worldwide literature across a wide range of
scientific and technological disciplines. Produced by the
Institute for Scientific Information (ISI).
Next, we entered our search term: "LIVER AND CYST/". The search word "CYST/" signified "cyst" should match any words starting with these four characters. While searching, IQuest gave the following progress report: Scanning BRS databases. Accessing Network...........Completed. Accessing Database Host.....Completed. Logging on..................Completed. Logging on (second step)....Completed. Selecting Databases.........Completed. Each period equals one line of scanned data. This may take several minutes................................ It reported in the same way while "Scanning Dialog databases." When the search results were presented, we quickly browsed the article abstracts, ordered two articles to be sent us by mail, and typed BYE. CompuServe reported "Off at 09:12 EST 17-Nov-88 Connect time = 0:35." The two articles arrived in Norway by mail a few weeks later. The trip, including visits in medical forums, took 35 minutes. The cost, including local telephone and network charges, was US$95. Of this total cost, the extra cost of searching through IQuest amounted to US$54.00. We all felt that the costs were well justified. A note about costs: The online tour was done manually, using full menus. We discussed our search strategy while connected. This is more expensive than logging off to plan the next moves. Also, note that the extra cost of searching IQuest ($54) was not time dependent. Note that the cost of doing an equivalent search today may well be lower. Since then, I first promised to donate one of my kidneys to her when the time came. This prompted me (in 1993) to join a mailing list for "Organ transplant recipients and anyone else interested in the issues" (the TRNSPLNT mailing list, subscribe at http://www.concentric.net/~Holloway/). In October 1995, came D-Day. We were both enrolled at the Rikshospitalet in Norway. Her two kidneys were taken out, and my left kidney was put in there instead. The time at the hospital was critical, and we almost lost her. However, in late spring things started slowly to pick up again!! If you're facing a transplant, visit The TransWeb - Transplantation and Donation page on the Web (at http://www.transweb.org/). It is well- informed and useful with information of interest to patients as well as professionals. AlcoholHas your life been affected by someone else's drinking? The Al-Anon & Alateen WWW Server is offered by a world-wide organization for the families and friends of alcoholics. Alateen is for teenagers. If you are concerned about someone else's drinking, or were raised in an alcoholic home, then the resource at http://www.Al-Anon-Alateen.org may be for you. It offers a self-help recovery program for families and friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic seeks help or even recognizes the existence of a drinking problem. Information is provided in several languages. ALCOINFO (subscribe at http://www.tile.net/listserv/alcoinfo.html) is a discussion list for alcohol and drug related issues. CancerCancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Anyone can get cancer. Since incidence rises with age, most cases affect adults in mid-life or older. Researchers estimate that if everything known about the prevention of cancer was applied, up to two-thirds of cancer could be prevented (source: The American Cancer Society). Subscribe to the CANCER-L discussion list http://www.rwneill.com/publishing/. A while ago, a member from Brazil posted the following message on CANCER-L: "A close friend was just diagnosed with acute leukemia of a type called calapositive pre-B linphoplastic. It is supposedly an early diagnosis since he is not anemic. We are very shocked but he is reacting quite bravely and all he wants is to have access to literature on his condition. Are there any new genetic engineering developments effectively clinically available? What is the present state of knowledge about this specific form of leukemia? Dora had several helpful replies. The following came from a member living in the United States: "In response to the request for information on treatment for leukemia, I recommend that you access CancerNet, the National Cancer Institute's mail server on the Internet which provides current information on treatment for leukemia. To request the Contents List and Instructions, send a mail message to Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Online Support Group is an information list and online support group for patients, caregivers, and medical professionals.

Everybody is treated the same way, regardless if they sit in a wheel chair, have a hearing impairment, stutter, cannot speak clearly, have difficulties in thinking or acting quickly, or just have a different looks. You need not worry about typing errors. Those who read them will never know whether it is because you never learned how to write on a computer, or if it is because you have difficulties in controlling your movements. You alone decide if others are to know about your personal disability. If you want it to be a secret, then it will remain a secret. Nobody can possibly know that you are mute and lame from the neck and down, that computer communication is your main gate into the outer world, and that you are writing messages with a stick attached to your forehead. Therefore, joining the online world has changed the lives of many people with disabilities. Computer communications have opened a new world for those who are forced to stay at home, or who thinks that it is too difficult to travel. Those who can easily drive their car to the library, often have difficulties in understanding the significance of this. Usenet has alt.education.disabled. It covers all areas of disabilities, technical, medical, educational, legal, etc. CompuServe's Disabilities Forum has sections called: General Interest, Develop. Disabilities, Emotional Disturbances, Hearing Impairments, Learning Disabilities, Vision Impairments, Mobility Impaired, Rights/Legislation, Education/Employment and Family Life/Leisure.

HOLISTIC-L (on Listserver@Lyghtforce.com) is dedicated to "providing information and discussion on holistic concepts and methods of living which provide a natural way of dealing with the challenges of life." Here are some topics dealt with in this forum: Various Dimensions of Holistic Healing and Health The following message is typical: From: Helen Subject: Re: Asthma and Sinus Problems To: Multiple recipients of list HOLISTIC My condolences to fellow people allergic to cats. Cats and strawberries are two of the most allergenic substances. Behavorial changes have proven to be EVERYTHING to me. The techniques I've employed have helped many others. First, try sleeping at a 45 degree angle. This usually requires piling up pillows. The elevation of the head facilitates drainage from the sinuses. When the situation gets really bad, I've slept sitting up on a couch or arm chair propped up by numerous pillows and cushions. This technique can take some getting used to, but, it works like a charm and is kinder to your system than drug therapy. HomeoNet, a service of the Institute of Global Communications (IGC), is for those interested in homeopathic medicine.
