In many research settings, bibliographies are a central resource for collecting information about related work, keeping track of the own research record, and annotating this information with remarks. By its very nature, this information should be shared between researchers within a research group and maybe in larger organizational units (for example research institutes) as well. However, most tools used for managing bibliographic data do not support collaboration. Using ShaRef, users can share bibliographic information, collaborate, and publish and export data using a variety of output channels. ShaRef's goal is to make sharing of and collaboration with bibliographic information easier than it is today.

Abstract. Managing bibliographic data is a requirement for many researchers, and in the group setting within which the majority of research takes place, the managing and sharing of bibliographic data is an important facet of organizing the research work. Managing and sharing bibliographies has to balance different levels of shared access (public catalogs, closed research group bibliographies, and personal bibliographies), and the sharing platform should integrate as seamlessly as possible into diverse environments in terms of operating systems, document processing, and other information management tools. The ShaRef system presented in this paper has been designed to fill the gap between public libraries and personal bibliographies, and provides an open platform for sharing bibliographic data among user groups. Through its simple and flexible data model and system architecture, ShaRef adapts to many settings and requirements, and can be used to increase collaboration and information flow within groups.

Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by blisters of skin and mucosa as a result of friction or minor trauma. EB can be of three forms: Epidermolysis Simplex (EBS), Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa (JEB) and Dystrophic (DEB). Management of EB poses a challenge to the anaesthetist. We report a case of a 4-year-old girl who was diagnosed with DEB at birth. She was found to have an oesophageal stricture and was posted for balloon dilatation of the oesophagus. Airway examination revealed mouth opening of 1.5-2 fingers breadth with adequate neck movements. Difficult airway was anticipated. General anaesthesia was administered, and intubation was achieved using Airtraq video laryngoscope. Care was taken not to cause further trauma to the skin and mucosa in the perioperative period.
