Health-care professionals who use iPads and iPhones now have a new way to access interactive “e-book” versions of the Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine’s popular Clinical Practice Guidelines.

The new free App, available at iTunes or the App Store under “Paralyzed Veterans of America,” enables users to download the e-books, which contain vital information for health-care professionals when treating individuals with spinal cord injury. The Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine is anchored by 23 professional organizations, including Paralyzed Veterans of America.

“Information is power, and this new app to download our interactive e-books is designed as an essential tool to help empower health-care professionals in the field of spinal cord injury medicine with the detailed clinical practice information they need at just the touch of a button,” said Fred Cowell, acting director of Research and Education for Paralyzed Veterans of America, the organization that administers and provides financial support for the Consortium.

Interactive e-books titles currently available for download through the new app are the following Clinical Practice Guideline titles: Early Acute Management in Adults with Spinal Cord Injury; Preservation of Upper Limb Function Following Spinal Cord Injury; Respiratory Management Following Spinal Cord Injury; and Bladder Management for Adults with Spinal Cord Injury.

Also available for download is Paralyzed Veterans’ popular consumer self-help guide Yes, You Can! A Guide to Self-Care for Persons with Spinal Cord Injury. All of the publications contain guidance directed by the protocols developed by the Consortium for Spinal Cord Medicine.

“Through e-CPGs and e-books, vital information for clinicians is more accessible, portable and provides instant links to other related reference materials that are important to the care and treatment of patients,” said Lawrence C. Vogel, MD, chair of the Consortium.

Over the past 16 years, the Consortium and Paralyzed Veterans have produced clinical practice guidelines and companion consumer guides on the many health-care issues common to individuals with spinal cord injury, such as upper limb preservation, treatment of pressure ulcers and bladder management.

The publications are independently reviewed, science-based compendia of the latest knowledge on the care of people with spinal cord injury/dysfunction. Consumer guides are written in an accessible style with limited technical and medical language.

Innumerous accounts of discomfort with security of mobile social networks for gay guys, like Grindr, have prompted the makers of Hornet, a brand new, second generation network, to make security and safety front and center of their app design.

This starts but is not limited to the next most important item after use of condoms to control the spread of STD, the knowledge of one’s HIV status and a reminder to frequently re-test, especially if the person is sexually active on gay social mobile networks.

Based on the positive experience of websites in Asia, Hornet is the first to introduce the “Know your Status” KYS campaign to mobile social networks for gay people.  In their profile, positive or recently tested guys will get a special marker, so that users are prompted to enroll in this purely voluntary campaign for a safer environment.  Once a test comes up for renewal, Hornet reminds people to get tested again, or their KYS status lapses to unknown.

Unlike most other gay SNS and Grindr, Hornet uses an HTTPS secure connection and SSL certificates as known from your Online Banking.

In addition, Hornet has integrated innumerous safety and security features into its app.  Unlike most other gay SNS and Grindr, Hornet uses an HTTPS secure connection and SSL certificates as known from your Online Banking.  It also gives users full control over a private portion of their picture uploads, so that broadcasting one’s profile in their neighborhood can be more controlled than an entirely open experience or map-based displays, making them vulnerable to hate crimes.

Within any app system that stores data, there are vulnerabilities, but apps like Grindr can make some easy improvements to move forward with security.  Hornet encourages the entire app community to make improvements and migrate in this direction, so that users can browse in a more secure environment, making our message today about bringing the ease of online dating to more users and sharing the market in a secure way.

If you haven’t gone insane for Instagram yet, this list of top apps will surely drive you overboard. Reaching 5 million users in 8 months, according to 60secondsmarketer.com, Instagram is not showing any sign that they will not tap out of the fight for photosharing with a user base of roughly 7 million now.

From Justin Bieber sharing an image of LA traffic to Starbucks marketing and branding, Instagram is providing services that is helping with its growing popularity. Thenextweb.com supplies a list of features to try out on Instagram.

1.Inkstagram

Even though Instagram has no web interface, Inkstagram steps in and provides that to users. Divided into four tabs, the interface consists of popular images on Instagram, your photos, likes, and comments. With the ability to follow your friends, comment on their post, and find new friends, Inkstagram helps to keep your media socially connected.

2.Pictarine

Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, Twitter, and your own Instagram photos will be at your exposure with Pictarine. All in one instinct, Instagram images will be downloaded to a computer by installing this plugin.

3.ExtraGram

Like Inkstagram, ExtraGram encourages connections with others and allows you to follow other, view photos, and read feeds. It also provides extra to the user by showing popular tags through a Discover tab and highlight users.

4. Webstagram

Could your photo be considered the photo of the day? With Webstagram, you would be able to share the link with others, search for certain tags, view your own photos, and submit your photo to be the photo of the day on the site.

5. Gramfeed

People naturally take photos as they travel around the word. Gramfeed provides a feature that creates a map marker linked to where a photo was taken. It also gives you easy access to all Instagram’s features through its web interface.

6. Carousel

Instagram plus Carousel equals access to your photos on your desktop. With the same qualities of the other app such as connecting with others, making comments, and following users, Carousel also allows you to use your desktop and save your photos there as well.

7. Flipboard

Like Instagallery, Flipboard allows you to stay connect to all your Instagram photos on a larger iPad screen.

Besides the additional features listed above, Instagram allows you to involuntarily share your photos on Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter. A service, such as InstaFB, clearly allows the connection between Instagram and Facebook.

By adding your FB friends to a link of your new photos and creating Facebook album of new photos, InstaFB offers convenience and accessibility through automatic photos updates between the two programs. Gramjunction provides an attractive way to share photos between Instagram and Flickr. Instadrop gives Instagram users a solution to automatically save their photos by using Dropbox.

When meeting the requirements and using a few services, Workaround will allow you to share your Instagram images with your Google+ followers. Your computer will have to be on at all times, having the desktop app Picasa, Dropbox, and InstaDrop to effectively connect to Google+.

Can you easily find photographers on Instagram? Well with some special sites and iPad apps, your search could be easier. From a slideshow with Insta-Great to filtering your search through Heroku, there is a growing list of resources that puts emphasis on photography.

Instagallery allows you to view your photos in a larger view on your iPhone, iPad, and iPodTouch. You can get a view of art from all around the world with Cartagram that lets you view photos regarding their location. Niche websites for Instagram include InstaCat, for photos of cats only, InstaPuppy, for your puppy lovers, and InstaKitty, to view photos of more small furry companions.

If viewing photos on a website was not enough, whenever you’re Mac or Windows computer gets restless, you can view photos on your screensaver through Instarium. Screenstragram also shows Instagram photos on the screensaver of a Mac computer.

But you don’t have to keep your photos just between other Instagram users and yourself. By creating an online display of your Instagram photos for non-Instagram users through Instagrid, you can make sure everyone stays in the loop and see your photos.

Instawar and Pic-a-Fight provides a fun experience while browsing Instagram photos through games that allow the user to pair up comparable photos. Not only that but you would be able to create products and prints such as photobooth for events, photo stickers, photos on mug, t-shirts, postcards and magnets through other Instagram services like Instaprint, Instagoodies, Instamaker, Stickygram, Prinstagram, Postagram, Artflakes, and Keepsy to name a few.

Instagram is creating another world for photography. From using social media to making photo stickers, there is an array of services that make Instagram a leading contender in photo sharing.

For all of you new technology addicts, Apple is bringing you new high technology devices that won’t disappoint you. What can you expect next? The launch of the Iphone 5, new and improved apps, new software and yes, even a new Ipad. Launching around August or September of 2011, Apple will be releasing the Iphone 5, which will be the most advanced phone to come about yet. The Iphone is designed to be a sim-free phone with an eight Megapixel camera, which could could even be as efficient as a digital camera. Instead of having to insert a SIM card into the phone, the SIM card will be embedded in the phone itself. The eight Megapixel camera will be able to take pictures and HD video without the annoyance of getting red eye in a picture. All of the world was amazed after Facetime, which was an app on the Iphone 4 that let you video chat with a camera in front of the phone. Now with the new Iphone 5, Facetime not only works on wifi, but it also works on the 3G and 4G network. This will make international calling capable and possible because of the four antennas that will be built into the phone.

Just released, the Ipad 2 is lighter, thinner, and now has two cameras? The new Ipad 2 is 33% thinner, 15% lighter even smaller, so it fits in your hands just right. The new Ipad has a built in A5 chip, which means it can do everything twice as fast on the web, calls, and games. Graphics are more defined and can upload nine times faster. It is hard to imagine a better quality then the first Ipad, but with all of Apples technology, you have to see it to believe it. Also, just like the new Iphone, the Ipad has a camera in front and in the back. Making the Ipad perfect for Facetime, video recording, and even photobooth which makes the Ipad the smallest compatible computer.

What is the Ipad and Iphone without the applications? Just recently, on June 6, 2011, CEO Steve Jobs of Apple Inc. reveled their new software, Icloud, at the Keynote Address press event. Usually, at this event, Apple announces a new release of an Iphone, but instead, this June, their reveling their new software. The New Icloud technology synchronizes files, music over the internet. Amazon and Google have already tried to accomplish this, but licensing and property issues got in the way. Therefore, both companies’,Cloud software, only let a user upload music and share with those it chooses. Apples Icloud software will allow users to “scan and match” which scans a music library from a label and matches it with the music stored.

There are new apps for Iphones, that are launched almost everyday. Now, 350,000 apps later, you can basically accomplish everything you need to do on your Iphone or Ipad without even leaving your seat. Mint personal finance, Nike training club, and ImapmyRide are just some of the new apps for the Iphone. These applications are automatic finance managers, bike routing apps, and personal trainers. It is hard to find a company nowadays without an application for an Iphone or Ipad. Is Apple going too far? A lot of people are expecting technology to take away the ability of people to physically and emotionally connect. With any of apples technology, you can talk, see, and accomplish anything you need to do without actually doing it. Is this good or bad? That’s for you to decide. Apple Inc. somehow and someway will always advance their technology, get on the Apple train before you cannot catch up.
