A multidisciplinary team at Rice University transformed the Texas Medical Center (TMC) Library’s collection of rare anatomy atlases into a physical-digital, human-sized atlas-of-atlases. The Electronic Vesalius installation gives these old books new life, informed by contemporary media theory and the centuries of medical and aesthetic criticism provoked by these multimedia image-texts.

Swallowing Evaluation

Purpose At Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, service members (SMs) with polytraumatic injuries, usually resulting from blast explosions, are routinely referred to the Speech Pathology Clinic for evaluation of swallowing function. The purpose of this clinical focus article is to advance the speech-language pathologist's (SLP) knowledge of polytrauma and to improve the care of individuals with traumatic injuries, especially related to nutrition and swallowing within a larger multidisciplinary team approach. Case Report Previous research within our center identified common demographic and injury characteristics of SMs with combat-related injuries that led to referrals for swallowing evaluation. An SM with polytraumatic injuries was selected for this case report to illustrate the relevance of the research findings and also the importance of multidisciplinary team support to appropriately manage such complex cases. Evaluations and relevant treatments are described across a 3-month acute care hospitalization, including swallowing and nutritional recommendations at the time of each swallowing evaluation. Discussion Comparisons of polytrauma cases at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center with literature from civilian trauma centers revealed somewhat longer hospitalizations and the particular influence of maxillofacial trauma on dysphagia outcomes. The complex case reported in this article illustrates the importance of multidisciplinary care and coordination, with particular emphasis on the intersecting roles of the SLP and registered dietitian. This report can serve as a guide for SLPs working in trauma settings for developing prognostic statements, treatment plans, and multidisciplinary interaction.

Authentication System

Background: The Texas Medical Center (TMC) is home to one of the world’s largest cohorts of faculty, students, researchers, and clinicians who rely on seamless and immediate access to digital biomedical and health resources. This group is served by the TMC Library, with a collection that includes over 380,000 ebooks and 59,000 ejournals. In 2018, the TMC Library implemented OpenAthens, a federated authentication system to replace a locally hosted instance of EZproxy.Case Presentation: The TMC Library is unique in its multi-institutional user population, which presents distinct challenges in adopting a single sign-on authentication system. Our project involved OpenAthens technical support, information technology teams from six academic institutions, and over thirty publishers. Implementation included the creation of an OpenAthens parent account, an active user directory, a resource catalog, and installation of our OpenAthens credentials at each publisher site. Because the TMC Library serves multiple institutions, OpenAthens built a custom login page and a portal to support both single sign-on and a generic username and password option. This case report discusses the reasons why OpenAthens was chosen, the preparation methods for implementation, the various challenges encountered and resolved, and recommendations for other health sciences libraries considering this system.Conclusions: The OpenAthens system provides important benefits: granular usage reports, single sign-on access, and data to negotiate reduced pricing for online resources. With prior knowledge and preparation, health sciences libraries can successfully implement OpenAthens with customizations tailored to their specific resources and user population.
