Re: GP on the Great Ocean Road — Changes to the MBS

a good question Penny, and there are quite a few different studies on a quick pubmed search. and this paper http://clinical.diabetesjou... from 2009 gives a good overview including results of various studies. given that the OGTT is the gold standard the consensus is that HbA1c has a sensitivity of around 65% and specificity of around 90% when using 6.5% as the cut-off. in high risk patients the likelihood ratio for a reading ≥ 6.5% of around 7.
so to answer your question... no idea! will look into it. (or maybe i'll wait for someone at the RACGP to update the guidelines, and they'll do it for me)

agreed. and yep, amazing Marr got top spot.

although, the demographics of people shopping at Readings is going to be different from those at, say, Borders. i'd be interested to see the top ten list from Borders now i think about it.

must go look!

Hello In Heels,

Yes. I know who mg is. My surprise is that, in my opinion, her choreography/work has little to do with allowing simplicity and spontaneity. It's far too histrionic.

But I do love that quote as it meets well with some of my interests in dance.

Thanks for writing.

yoink takes the freecycle concept and brings it into the mobile market. can't say i've had an easier way of passing on some no longer needed furniture with so little hassle. smart, clean and effective programming.

our population health lecturer would be wringing her hands at your comment about not being sure people care what's put on a death certificate.

i probably could, but right now i'm grappling with pre-synaptic and
post-synaptic actions of noradrenergic and specific serotonergic
antidepressants (or NaSSA)

just quickly though (and without going into a definition of tone!) in
writing range of tones i was thinking about how in the different roles
assigned to partnering in the exercises, each person had a range of
tone they would work within. so, for the pop-ups, person making the
structure - initially lying on the ground - had a very narrow range,
whereas the person taking weight onto their hands then controlling the
descent of their lower limbs to then absorb the impact on the other
persons body has quite a wide range of tone through this exercise. and
i suppose it was interesting to me how we were utilising tone in these
exercises. as for the jam... that'll have to come after i get to grips
with mirtazapine (my current senior reg's fav).

you so should do it. after your next job of course. it's pretty bloody interesting. (and sometimes a bit tedious - the med student assessment particularly)

hi kate,

nice to hear from you. and i'm glad you're getting something out of my
ramblings. sounds like you're heading down a similar path to simon
ellis - his phd was all about memory. i imagine you've probably seen
his website, but if not, http://skellis.net

i remember reading something once about memory being similar to
perception - that when we (for example) look out at a field we take in
various aspects of the information that comes through the optic nerve.
and our focus (amongst other things) plays a determinate role in what
we perceive about the view in front of us. so, perception is a dynamic
act. and memory or retrieving memories carries a similar perceptive
role, where every act of remembering (say that same field again and
again) is as active and dynamic as the first viewing. so yeah, complex
is right.

i'm sorry to hear about your loss.

i'm pretty sure melb uni still has the anatomy library. i remember
sneaking in there when i was studying music/arts in the early
nineties. have a chat to grace walpole though - she's also done some
performance/research into/using neuroscience - and she's a doctor. she
did med at melb.
