Molecular genetic evidence of a novel morbillivirus has been found in a long-finned pilot whale (Globicephalus melas) stranded on a New Jersey beach. Nobel sequences were found. They are most closely related to those of dolphin and porpoise morbilliviruses. The virus may be a third member of the cetacean morbillivirus group., A long-finned pilot whale with morbilliviral disease was stranded in New Jersey. An immunohistochemical stain demonstrated morbilliviral antigen. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction for morbillivirus P and N genes was positive. [...]

The information needs of physicians are complex and ever increasing in a world of rapidly expanding medical knowledge and a practice environment where physicians are required to know and do more with shrinking resources. Current strategies for providing clinical decision support and continuing medical education have failed, in part, because they have not provided timely, easy access to information that is current, integrated with other information and the physician's workflow, and relevant to specific questions that occur during the patient encounter. Meeting these challenges involves understanding the nature of medical knowledge, the different information needs of physicians, the clinical decision-making process, and the constraints of the physicians work environment, as well as the traditional barriers to physician education. We explore the nature of some of these challenges and propose one solution in the form of a highly integrated web-based technology-The Stanford Health Information Network for Education.
