It appears to be functioning normally, but checks will be ongoing over the next few hours. Please email us at venompublishing@bigpond.com if you note anything … Read more
Replacement of ‘man’ with ‘human’.
A few instances of ‘man’ (meaning mankind) in the text have been replaced with ‘human’ to better describe the intended meaning.
Version date added
The Version date of the Manual has been added to the Title page in Version 1 and the Author page (top left tab) in Version 2.The Version date is the date the last file was modified in the manual and should be used whenever referencing the manual.
Cryoprecipitate heading missing in Version 1
For some reason the Cryoprecipitate heading on the Clotting factor replacement page has gone missing in Version 1. It should appear just after the paragraph on complications of PCC. We promise to find it and return it to its proper place with the next batch of files are uploaded.
Temporary issue with Version 2
We have mistakenly uploaded the latest updated Version 1 where the Version 2 files should be, so Version 2 will be out of action for about 30min whilst we fix this. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Pages renamed as ‘…toxicity’ pages
A number of pages in the Toxicology section have had ‘toxicity’ added to their title. Existing bookmarks to these pages will now be broken.
Amatoxin toxicity page
The Mushrooms page has been divided into Amatoxin toxicity and Other mushroom toxicity pages.
Acute coronary syndromes section page reorganisation
The pages in the section on Acute coronary syndromes have been reorganised into a more logical sequence.
ECG added to ECG library

6 new ECGs have been added to the ECG gallery bringing the total number of ECGs in the gallery to 213.
Subscript removal
About 100 subscripts have been removed from the text to enable better line spacing on the website.

A check of the features suggests everything is working normally again, however if you notice anything not quite right please email us at venompublishing@bigpond.com so we can fix it.Thank you for … Read more

Page name changes
New files have just been uploaded, some content has been moved, and the names of some pages have been changed. This means links to the old names of those pages (e.g. from some quizzes) or existing bookmarks to them will no longer function.
Fewer ‘of cases’
We have removed quite a few ‘of cases’ from the text on multiple different pages, whenever it appears to be redundant.But more work on this still needs to be done…..
