1.
Warm Up: Graphic texts
(like graphic novels but about academic/research topics) have some high quality
representations (“Open Borders” about the science and politics on the topic of
immigration)
2.
Book chapter
review:
Adam’s chapter on managing migraine
a. Kind of book:
i.
Part of a book on pain (generally, all over the body), which will
have 40+ chapters
ii.
Responded to request 18 months ago
iii.
Coordination and communication has not been great; sudden request
for final copy in 2 weeks
iv.
Audience
b. In medical and
science fields, a book chapter is not as valuable as a peer-reviewed article,
unless you are the editor. It is a boost
but the not sufficient for promotion purposes.
Great for demonstrating clinical activity for regular evaluations.
c. Audience:
primary care providers, but medical students too
i.
Add definitions: aura (consider using in case study) and
osmophobia, depending on the target audience
ii.
Severe headache – same as migraine, leave as is in the case
presentation
d. Overview: there
is variability in treatment of migraine; practical explanations about treatment
is important
e. Feedback:
well-organized and written
i.
Figure is not part of the case presentation but appears as though
it should be
f.
Conclusion: don’t repeat the case, create an elevator speech,
include the pearls
g. How the problem
is managed: indicate the physical mechanism affected by the different
medications, where known
i.
Consider a table of treatment options, including “FDA-approved”
and “off label” as well as target dose and minimum duration
ii.
Preventive therapy: add guidance for stabilizing the medication
dosage
h. Discussion:
peak prevalence applied to the full span of adult life is not very informative.
Consider narrowing the age range, draw attention to the impact on employment
years
i.
Watch for passive voice throughout; move to active as much as possible.
