LESS AZT MAY BE BETTER:
Less may be more with AZT, the only approved anti-viral drug for AIDS. The
drug works just as well and causes fewer side effects when given at less than
half the dose once recommended -and a pilot study shows promise for even
smaller doses, says Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine. Research is
moving toward combining AZT with other drugs for more effectiveness and
safety.

HIV CAUSING TB EPIDEMIC:
Tuberculosis kills almost 3 million people worldwide each year - more than
any other infectious disease - and the toll could rise sharply, says a World
Health Organization report out Tuesday. The spread of HIV, the virus that
causes AIDS, is causing a parallel epidemic of TB among AIDS sufferers.
Countries with the most TB cases: China, Bangladesh, Brazil, India, Indonesia
and Nigeria.
COMPASSION FOR AIDS VICTIMS UP:
Acceptance of AIDS victims is higher now than three years ago. According
to a Roper Report poll of 1,995 adults, 72 percent of the people in July 1990
said they would shake hands with an AIDS victim, compared to 50 percent who
said the same in July 1987; and in 1990, 62 percent said they would work
alongside an AIDS victim, compared to 38 percent in 1987. (From the USA TODAY
Life section.)

TRANSPLANT FAILS TO STOP AIDS:
There is no benefit in giving a bone marrow transplant to someone with
AIDS, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease researchers said.
Donated marrow creates a new immune system. But even with identical twins,
where donor matching is assured, 16 pairs of twins with AIDS won only a brief
respite from the AIDS virus. The researchers say they plan a new trial soon.

NOTES:
1) The following codes identify the major interests of the particular board.
Aids A Disability D
Alcohol Abuse L Biology Q
Fire/EMS F Psychiatry/Psychology P
Anesthesiology N Social Service U
Biomedical Engineering B Ophthalmology O
Chemistry C Science S
Dentistry Y Nursing R
Pharmacy M Lab Medicine X
OB/GYN G
1) The numbers following some of the board names are network addresses
for those boards participating in the International Fido Network.
2) I don't own a 9600 baud modem so the list does not reflect the fact
that many of these boards are capable of communicating at 9600 baud.
4) I plan to make the list available as dialing directories which can
be used directly by the following telecommunications programs -
Boyan, Qmodem, Telix, Telemate Procomm - others upon request. The files
will be available on my board in file area number one. You will have
to go through the registration process but will be able to download them
on your first call.
5) LOST MY SPONSOR !!!!!!
For the last three years Computer News for Physicians has been kind
enough to help defray some of the cost of compiling this list. That
cost has been considerable approximating 500 dollars every three months
which takes alot out of a resident's salary.. A big thanks to Sue Frisch
and CNFP for all their help. Sue is moving on to bigger and better things
and CNFP is going out of business.
If you find the list useful I'd like to ask you to send whatever you
think it is worth to the address below. That will help insure its continued
compilation. In exchange I'll send along my thanks and a list of toll free
online medical resources I have compilied. In addition, if you don't want to
call all the boards listed and need suggestions, or have a specific interest
not outlined in the list I'll send along a printed copy of the list which
a few boards marked that are exceptional or cater to your interests.
Any party interested in sponsoring the list can call me voice at 302-731-7076
6) Send additions, corrections, deletions, suggestions and donations to:
Edward Del Grosso M.D.
CIS 71565,1532 <= Please try to use one of the others
GENIE - E DELGROSSO
BIX - DELGROSSO
BLACK BAG BBS (150/140) My BBS at 302-731-1998
Or by U.S. Snail to
Edward Del Grosso M.D.
29 A-2 Golfview Dr.
Newark, DE 19702
7) If you have read this far you can be of a great help. This list is
updated every 3 months. The next update will be released on Nov. 25,1990
It has made great penetration but as I call these boards I see that many have
lists that are many months to years old. You can be of great service to me and
the BBS community in general if you would take the time and effort to upload
this list to at least one BBS in your area.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Sysops:
As always I hope you will take the time to contact me and contribute
numbers to the list.... still going strong after 5 years.
To all sysops. I strongly urge those of you who are not already
members to join the International Fido Net. I am sure most of you have heard
of it, but in case you haven't it is a system by which bulletin boards
across the country exchange message traffic. Access is free and software
to interface your current system to it is probably available to you locally,
at no cost. The following is a list of national medical conferences which
I am aware of and participate in.
AIDS National Discussion
Alcoholism and Drug Abuse National Echo
Child Abuse National Echo
Diabetes National Discussion
Disabled Interests National Echo
Fire/EMS National Echomail
Grand Rounds National Medical Discussion
Health Physics Echo
Holistic Health National Forum
International Nurses Network
National Psychiatry Echo
Overeaters Echo
Physics National Echomail
Physicians Only National Conference
Science National Echomail
Social Services National Echo
Spinal Injury National Echo
Stroke/CVA National Discussion
Visually Impaired Echo
Deaf Users Echo
Stress Management Echo
Radiology Echo
Care Givers Echo
Alzheimers Echo
Radiation Safety Echo
Many are available with only a local call.
Finally, if you run one of the boards in this list you can be of great
help in keeping it up to date by maintaining my password even though I may
call only every two to three months. By doing so you will help save me a
great deal of time and money. Thanks !!!
