Welcome!

Welcome to my new website!

This is a collection of articles published in the Allergy and Immunology literature that I think are important, useful for the practice of Allergy, or simply interesting.  It is not intended to be an exhaustive or comprehensive effort by any means.  I got the idea from Dr. Ves Dimov, who sends out monthly summaries of what he considers the top articles published on different allergy topics (AllergyNotes.blogspot.com).  I have never been able to remember authors of papers (unless it was a landmark study), or the month a paper came out, let alone the year.  I am doing well to remember the journal and the fact that the paper was published.  My frustration stems from the fact that I am usually in the middle of dictating my plan for caring for a patient, remember having read a study relevant to their medical issue, vaguely remember the gist of the paper, but can't remember anything more.  I would love to have a better way to catalog what I have read or come across, so that I can look it up quickly, find the reference, and include it in a patient's chart if necessary.

As I am sure I am not the only one with this type of memory, I figured I would start this website.  I hope you find it as useful as I do.  I also hope it helps improve patient care.
