Questions and Quandaries: How to respond to reviewer comments.

This column is intended to address the kinds of knotty problems and dilemmas with which many scholars grapple in studying health professions education. In this first article, the authors address the question of how to respond to a request for revisions after review, including the quandary of how best to respond to conflicting feedback.

Hydrogen gas formation from the photolysis of rhenium hydrides - mechanistic and computational studies.

The photolysis of 4,4'-disubstituted, 2,2'-bipyridine fac-Re(bpy)(CO)3H derivatives produces stoichiometric H2 gas. The rate of production varies greatly depending on the electronic nature of the disubstituted bipyridine (bpy) with halogenated substituents increasing the rate. Isotope labeling studies along with B3LYP geometry optimization DFT modeling studies indicate a mechanism involving a Re-H-Re bridging complex that leads to a dimeric Re-Re(η2-H2) state prior to dissociating H2 gas.

How your practice can earn $88,000 per physician over the next five years.

Your medical practice could earn as much as $88,000 per physician over the next five years through three new programs provided through the federal stimulus package. By participating in electronic health records, using electronic prescribing, and performing standard quality procedures that your practice most likely already follows, your practice could earn part of $19 billion that has been designated in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 to improve health information technology. You won't want to delay, however, because the funding is front-loaded, with of the funding provided in the first two years.

Using technology to teach technology.

As staff development professionals, our goal is to provide cost-effective learning opportunities that meet the objectives of the learner, the program, and the organization. The decision to use instructional technology is based on cost, time, and outcomes. This article describes one organization's use of an inexpensive and versatile software application to develop Web-based tutorials to educate and train clinical staff on a new clinical information system.
