Bacterial Infections Of The Oral Cavity

One of my new favourite blogs is micrognome written by Tim Inglis. His writing about all things microbial and his writing is superb.

He has placed on Google Documents a set of notes for a talk he is giving to UWA Dental undergraduates later in the year. (The UWA Rural Clinical School sends a dentist and student out to us several times a year). The topic covers what you would frequently see in remote clinics.

You can enlarge the slide show and fast forward the slides.

How the Influenza Virus Works

by Robbo on October 27, 2009

in Information Resources,public health

NPR, the public radio broadcaster in the USA has developed a great animation showing how the influenza virus multiplies and spreads. The general principles in replication can be used when thinking about any viral infection.

The animation is coloured to make it more visually appealing. It is NOT how it looks in the body!
