October Journal Club
In October, we will review another classic article, the De Gans Trial for Steroids in Bacterial Meningitis. Should you give dexamethasone for bacterial meningitis? Are there particular situations where antibiotics may be harmful? Be sure to read the article, and if you are feeling ambitious, there is a great cochrane review.
Be sure to check out past journal club articles as well.
iOS 8
Our current app for iOS does not work correctly on iOS 8. We are actively preparing an update. If you have updated to iOS 8 then please use the main site which will be optimized for mobile viewing and editing. If you can wait a week to update then I would encourage everyone to remain with iOS 7 until we send a notification that the app is update.

Here are two highlights from our users. Thank you!
WikEM is now Mobile Friendly
Finally! We know it has taken us a long time to go live with the mobile version of the website. We have had mobile apps for awhile, but needed some extra time before making the web fully mobile. You may still notice a few formatting errors with the main page and certain tables as we work out the bugs, but each individual page will now look great regardless of your device.
If you don’t see the mobile site using your phone click the “mobile” link at the bottom of the page to switch over.
The best part of the mobile layout is the ability to edit from a mobile device and upload photos to the site directly from your phone. Everytime you are on a page using your phone or tablet you will see a camera icon which will walk you through uploading a picture.
As always please donate to allow us to keep implementing … Read more
