ok since i've guided people through using libgen a few times now, i'll make a post about it. it's super easy actually, i just think the interface intimidates people.
the interface isn't as nice as z-lib's but i honestly find it easier to get around libgen, i guess because i've been using it longer. so don't get intimidated
here's the search, self-explanatory. you really don't have to change anything under "libgen search options" unless you wanna see everything available from a specific author, publisher, series, etc. i don't actually know what "the column set default" means and that has never prevented me from finding what i need lol.
the non-fiction/sci-tech and fiction categories are exactly what they sound like...sort of. i've found that if i'm looking for creative nonfiction (e.g. a memoir), i'm more likely to find it under "fiction" than "non-fiction/sci-tech". poetry books are under "fiction" as well.
now let's search. mike davis died recently and i'm interested in checking out his books, so i'm going to search for his book city of quartz: excavating the future in los angeles, which is nonfiction. just "city of quartz" is a good search term, since it's a pretty unique name for a book.
sorry if you can't see this too well, i've taken a screenshot of a "mirrors" section to highlight it (i'll get into that in a second) but this search results page is just a list of the files that fit my search. libgen lists the author, title, publisher, year, page count, language, file size, file extension (this is important if you're picky like me--i like epubs for personal use, but when i was in grad school i needed pdfs to reference consistent page numbers). any information that isn't available (e.g. some of the page counts here) will be blank. the mirrors are what you really want here.
books from libgen aren't all torrents (usually a torrent link is AN OPTION but it's an option i've never taken in this case, it's easier for me to just download files directly), but if you've ever torrented anything, you're probably familiar with the term "mirror" in this context. if not, a mirror is a copy of a file hosted on a given server. in other words, these three "mirrors" are just the same file hosted in three different places, if one doesn't work, you can try another. i've actually never had an issue where i've had to check different mirror links, but because libgen's mirror links are often from zlib, i imagine that'll be different now.
anyway, you can either click one of the mirrors listed on the search page, or click title of the book, which will take you to a page like this, which also has a selection of mirrors:
the first three links are the most relevant to you if you're not interested in downloading a torrent. again, these are the same file, just in different locations. so i'll click "this mirror" and that'll take me to the download page for the file hosted on this site. if you'd clicked #1 of the numbered mirrors for this particular version of city of quartz on the search results page, it'd be the same result
see that big "GET" link at the top? that's the download link. just click it and the file will start downloading. boom. easy!

100 secrets in critical care
1. Elevated lactate levels suggest tissue hypoperfusion, and normal lactate clearance issuggestive of adequate fluid resuscitation.2. Always assume that even a single episode of hypotension in a trauma patient is due tobleeding, and proceed accordingly.3. Good cardiopulmonary resuscitation can make a difference for a successful resuscitationfrom cardiac arrest. Know and perform it well.4. Time to defibrillation is the most important factor in a return of spontaneous circulationfrom ventricular tachycardia and/or ventricular fibrillation.5. Pulse oximetry is good for continuous monitoring, but arterial blood gases (ABGs) arebest for diagnosis and acute management. If oximetry does not fit the clinical picture,obtain an ABG.6. Use the alveolar gas equation to help understand mechanisms of hypoxemia.7. Hemodynamic monitoring assesses whether the circulatory system has adequateperformance to supply oxygen and sustain the “fire of life.” Monitoring provides data toguide therapy but is not therapeutic.8. There is no proved benefit to colloid over crystalloid in acute resuscitation.9. Starting enteral nutrition early in critically ill patients increased survival.10. Enteral feeding in patients with shock is acceptable after the patient is resuscitated andhemodynamically stable, even if the patient is receiving stable lower doses ofvasopressors.11. The primary indications for mechanical ventilation are inadequate oxygenation, inadequateventilation, and elevated work of breathing.12. Low tidal volume mechanical ventilation can lead to improved outcomes in the patient withacute respiratory distress syndrome.13. Daily weaning assessments improve patient outcomes.14. The rate of central venous catheter–related bloodstream infections can be reduced througha combination of the use of maximal sterile barrier precautions, 2% chlorhexidine-basedantiseptic, centralization of line insertion supplies, and daily evaluation of the need forcontinued central access.15. Subclavian venous catheters have the lowest risk of bloodstream infection.16. Lung sliding on ultrasound examination effectively rules out pneumothorax at the site ofthe transducer.17. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation can be used successfully in patients withrespiratory failure in whom low tidal volume ventilation is failing.18. Nonrecognition of an esophageal intubation leads to death; direct visual confirmationor detection of carbon dioxide must be done to confirm the proper location of anendotracheal tube.19. If a tracheostomy tube falls out of its stoma within the first 1 to 5 days of placement, do notattempt to reinsert it blindly. Perform translaryngeal intubation instead because blindattempts at reinsertion misplace the tube into a paratracheal track, compress the trachea,and cause asphyxia.20. Any airway or stomal bleeding that develops more than 48 hours after tracheotomy shouldsuggest the possibility of a tracheoarterial fistula, which develops as a communicationbetween the trachea and a major intrathoracic artery.21. A retrospective study showed that positive pressure ventilation (PPV) does not influencethe rate of recurrent pneumothorax or chest tube placements after removal. Consequently,presence of mechanical PPV is not an indication to leave a chest tube in place.22. Chest physiotherapy appears to be as effective as bronchoscopy in treating atelectasis,although bronchoscopy has a role in retained, inspissated secretions or foreign bodies.23. Pulmonary artery line placement in patients with a newly implanted (less than 3 months)implantable cardioverter defibrillator or pacemaker is associated with high risk of leaddislodgment, especially if there is a coronary sinus lead.24. Intraaortic balloon pumps should be considered in patients who may benefit fromincreased diastolic pressures (persistent refractory angina, cardiovascular compromisefrom myocardial ischemia/infarction) or decreased afterload (acute mitral regurgitation,cardiogenic shock).25. Clinical judgment should supplement severity of illness scores in defining patients withsevere community-acquired pneumonia. 26. The use of clinical criteria alone will lead to the overdiagnosis of ventilator-associatedpneumonia.27. A normal PCO2 in acute asthma is a warning sign of impending respiratory failure.28. Noninvasive mechanical ventilation reduces the need for intubation in patients with achronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation and impending respiratory failure.29. Chronic hypoxemia is the most common cause of pulmonary hypertension.30. Patients with acute lung injury and acute respiratory distress syndrome die of multiorgandysfunction far more frequently than they do of refractory hypoxemia.31. For most patients, bronchial artery embolization is the treatment of choice to stophemorrhaging in massive hemoptysis.32. Because death from massive hemoptysis is more commonly caused by asphyxiation thanexsanguination, it is important to emergently maintain airway patency and protect thenonbleeding lung.33. Deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism are common and oftenunderdiagnosed in critically ill patients.34. The key to treating heart failure is determining the cause, that is, reduced ejection fraction,normal/preserved ejection fraction, restrictive cardiomyopathy, hypertrophiccardiomyopathy, or right ventricular failure.35. The best clinical guide to help in choosing which treatment is appropriate for the critically illpatient with heart failure is to assess volume and perfusion status.36. Acute myocardial infarction, complicated by out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, has a very highmortality, and hypothermia may improve chances for survival and neurologic recovery.37. It is important to distinguish hemodynamically unstable arrhythmias that need immediatecardioversion/defibrillation from other more stable rhythms.38. When managing acute aortic dissection, adequate beta blockade must be establishedbefore the initiation of nitroprusside to prevent propagation of the dissection from a reflexincrease in cardiac output.39. Pulsus paradoxus is when there is respiratory variation on arterial waveform seen duringpericardial tamponade of >10 mm Hg.40. Severe sepsis ¼ sepsis plus acute organ dysfunction.41. Early diagnosis and therapeutic interventions in patients with severe sepsis or septic shockare associated with better outcomes.42. Between 60% and 80% of cases of endocarditis result from streptococcal infection.Staphylococcus aureus tends to be the most common etiologic agent of infectiveendocarditis in intravenous (IV) drug users.43. Streptococcus pneumoniae remains the most common cause of community-acquiredbacterial meningitis, and treatment directed to this should be included in the initial empiricregimen.44. Most patients do not require computed tomographic scan before lumbar puncture;however, signs and symptoms that suggest elevated intracranial pressure should promptimaging. These include new-onset neurologic deficits, new-onset seizure, and papilledema.Severe cognitive impairment and immune compromise are also conditions that warrantconsideration for imaging.45. If you suspect disseminated fungal infection, do not wait for cultures to treat.46. Reducing multidrug-resistant bacteria can only be accomplished by using fewerantibiotics, not more.47. Clinical or laboratory identification of an unusual pathogen (i.e., anthrax, smallpox, plague)should raise suspicion for a biologic attack.48. Pain disproportionate to physical findings; skin changes including hemorrhage, sloughing, oranesthesia; rapid progression; crepitus; edema beyond the margin of erythema; and systemicinvolvement should prompt intense investigation for deep infection and involvement ofsurgical consultants as needed in the case of necrotizing fasciitis or gas gangrene.49. During influenza season all persons admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) withrespiratory illness should be presumed to have influenza and be tested and treated.50. Asplenic individuals are at risk for infection with encapsulated organism. 51. The greatest degree of immunosuppression in solid organ transplant recipients is in the 1to 6 months after transplantation.52. Severe hypertension in absence of end organ damage can be safely treated outsidethe setting of intensive care and reduction in blood pressure be achieved gently overhours to days.53. The serum creatinine level may not change much during acute renal failure in patients withdecreased muscle mass.54. In the analysis of acid-base disorders, a normal serum pH does not imply that there is notan acid-base disorder; rather it points to mixed disorder.55. Serum magnesium level should be checked and corrected, if low, in patients with refractoryhypokalemia.56. Overly rapid correction of hyponatremia or hypernatremia can result in devastatinglong-term neurologic sequelae.57. If a patient has neurologic symptoms associated with hyponatremia, one of the immediategoals of therapy should be correction of serum sodium to a safe level.58. Be systematic in your workup of gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Follow an algorithm.59. In a patient with acute pancreatitis, make sure the patient’s fluid is replenished with anadequate amount of IV fluid. This is as important as, if not more important than, the otherfacets of treatment, including pain control, nutritional support, correcting electrolyteabnormalities, treating infection (if present), and treating the underlying cause.60. Steroids should be considered for the treatment of severe alcoholic hepatitis as defined bya Maddrey’s discriminate score 32.61. Abdominal compartment syndrome is an underappreciated diagnosis.62. This is no secret—we all share the responsibility for reducing nosocomial infections.63. Worsening confusion or a new impairment in mental state during treatment of diabeticketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state is life-threatening cerebral edema untilproved otherwise.64. Administering insulin without adequate fluid replacement during treatment of diabeticketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state can lead to profound hypotension,shock, or cardiovascular collapse.65. An IV insulin infusion is the safest and most effective way to treat hyperglycemia in criticallyill patients.66. If the blood pressure of an ICU patient with septic shock responds poorly to repeated fluidboluses and vasopressors, hydrocortisone should be given regardless of cortisol levels.67. In most cases you do not need to treat nonthyroidal illness syndrome with levothyroxinedespite low thyroxine, triiodothyronine, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels; insteadfollow expectantly, and recheck laboratory values in 4 to 6 weeks.68. Stable anemia is well tolerated in critically ill patients. Transfuse blood products only whennecessary or if hemoglobin level drops below 7 gm/dL.69. Although disseminated intravascular coagulation typically presents with bleeding orlaboratory abnormalities suggesting deficient hemostasis, hypercoagulability andaccelerated thrombin generation actually underlie the process.70. Surgery for cord compression can keep people ambulatory longer than radiation alone.71. For a neutropenic fever, draw cultures, give broad-spectrum antibiotics, then complete theworkup.72. In a patient in the ICU who is seen with multiorgan failure or a clinical picture resemblingfulminant sepsis, consider the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus or vasculitis.73. Respiratory pattern, autonomic functions, and brain stem reflexes are critical in identifyingthe cause of coma and should be recorded in all patients.74. No ancillary test can replace an experienced clinical examination for determination of braindeath.75. The mainstay of treatment for status epilepticus includes stabilizing the patient, controllingthe seizures, and treating the underlying cause.76. ICU admission, invasive hemodynamic monitoring, and respiratory support with frequentvital capacity measurements are keys to following patients with Guillain-Barre´ syndrome.77. Tachypnea is often the first sign of respiratory muscle weakness. Respiratory musclestrength is ideally measured by maximum inspiratory flow and vital capacity (VC) inpatients with myasthenia gravis. A quick surrogate for forced VC is to ask the patient tocount to the highest number possible during one expiration.78. Benzodiazepines are the preferred agents for the treatment of alcohol withdrawal.79. Time should not be wasted pursuing radiographic confirmation when a tensionpneumothorax is suspected in a hemodynamically unstable patient. Either formal tubethoracostomy should be immediately performed or an Angiocath inserted into the secondintercostal space along the midclavicular line.80. The condition of a significant number of patients with flail chest and/or pulmonarycontusion can be safely and effectively managed without intubation by using aggressivepulmonary care, including face-mask oxygen, continuous positive airway pressure, chestphysiotherapy, and pain control.81. The model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) calculates the severity of liver disease.82. Delirium is a disturbance of consciousness with inattention, accompanied by a change incognition or perceptual disturbances that develop over a short period of time, fluctuate overdays, and remain underdiagnosed.83. Therapeutic hypothermia (temperature 30 -34 C) improves neurologic outcomes incomatose survivors of cardiac arrest.84. Heat stroke is a true medical emergency requiring immediate action: Delay in coolingincreases mortality.85. When caring for a critically ill poisoned patient, the diagnostic and therapeutic interventionsshould be started on the basis of the clinical presentation, with use of the history, thephysical examination, and recognition of toxidromes.86. Syrup of ipecac and gastric lavage have no role in the routine management of the poisonedpatient.87. Oral or IV N-acetylcysteine should be administered promptly to any patient with suspectedor confirmed acetaminophen toxicity.88. Patients with methanol and ethylene glycol ingestions present with an osmolal gap, whichcloses with metabolism and develops an anion gap acidosis. Isopropanol toxicity beginswith an osmolal gap but is not metabolized to an anion gap.89. Patients with toxic alcohol ingestion and any vision disturbance, severe metabolic acidosis,or renal failure should undergo urgent hemodialysis.90. The treatment of choice for calcium channel blocker toxicity is hyperinsulinemiaeuglycemiatherapy to maximize glucose uptake into cardiac myocytes.91. Neuroleptic malignant syndrome can occur at any age in either sex with exposure to anyantipsychotic medication.92. Although radiologic investigations and drug treatment may carry some risk of harm to thefetus, necessary tests and treatment should not be avoided in the critically ill mother.93. Patients and their families are the experts on the patient’s goals and values, and cliniciansare the experts on determining which clinical interventions are indicated to try to achievereasonable clinical goals.94. Timely ethics consultation in the ICU may mitigate conflict and reduce ICU length of stay,hospital length of stay, ventilator days, and costs.95. Only discuss treatment choices after the patient or family has been updated on medicalcondition, prognosis, and possible outcomes and once overall goals of medical care areagreed on.96. Family conferences are more successful when providers listen more and talkless. Encourage the family to discuss their understanding of illness, their emotions,and who the patient is as a person. Then respond with statements of support andunderstanding.97. All patients with impending brain death or withdrawal of care should be screened for thepossibility of organ donation.98. The gap between those patients awaiting a transplant and those donating organs iswidening exponentially—the vast majority of those on the transplant list will die waiting.99. The hospital systems investing today in advanced informatics, automated decisionanalysis, telemedicine, and/or regionalized care will be the leading systems tomorrow.100. Patient safety remains a concern in critically ill patients, and a primary barrier to improvingpatient safety is physicians’ inability to change their practice patterns.

Anybody want an exhaustively in-depth, step-by-step breakdown of how to write a research paper for a college literature class?
Okay, so you start by identifying the work that you're going to write the paper on. Most lit classes will announce in the syllabus that you'll have a paper due at the end of the term, and usually it will be a text that was covered in the class. The FIRST thing you should do is skim the wikipeda pages of all the assigned readings. One of the BEST things that you can find on a wikipedia page about a work you're considering for a research paper is a section discussing debated meanings or controversy about the text - this means that there is a LOT of material on the work you're going to break down.
The reason to do this at the start of the class is twofold: One, it gives you more time to prepare for the paper, Two, you should know what the readings assigned at the end of the term look like before you panic and choose a work that the class has already covered. I have been in twenty English classes where pretty much no one went over the works assigned for the last couple weeks of the term. This is a mistake! Those works are usually assigned late in the term because they're what the rest of the term has been building to in terms of complexity and meaning, which, again, probably means that there's a metric fuckton of research on those readings.
Anyway. I'm doing my paper on George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant," which you can read here if you want to play along with this post.
The next step is to read the work. If you have already read the work earlier in the class, now is the time to go back through and skim it to re-familiarize yourself with the text. You are making very big, very general notes. The notes that I made on this read-through were things like "baited," "performance of empire," "the ugliness of empire," and "performance to one another." You're just getting the biggest, vaguest ideas out, because now it's time to do your precis, which is not as precise as that name would imply.
The way that I approach a precis is as a very, very, very broad statement about what I think the work is saying and what I want to say about it. In this case I think Orwell is saying that imperialism is both cruel and pointless, that it is mutually degrading to those subject to empire and enforcing empire, and that it makes the world worse. Cool. Orwell doesn't like empire, that's not a surprise.
At this point I have a general idea of where I think I'm going to go with this paper (in the direction of performance; i'm going to talk about the way that Orwell fixates on empire as performative) and it is time to go dig up research.
*nineteen articles later*
The reason you do your precis before you do research but that you do not write a thesis statement before you do research is because you need to guide your search, but you don't want to box yourself into a corner by only looking at one specific argument. For instance, for my Austen project I am examining radical politics in Austen's work but I have bought books written by biographers who understand her as a conservative as well as a whole book of marxist criticism of Austen that considers her a conservative; that is not totally in line with my reading of her work or her politics, but it's important to see what arguments people who *aren't* totally in line with my view of the matter make.
So what I have done for this Orwell paper is searched my school library's database for terms like "Orwell and Empire," "Orwell and Violence," "Orwell and Authority," "Orwell and Policing," and "Shooting an Elephant."
I went through the results from most to least relevant for each search, and opened them all in other tabs. I didn't read them, or even skim them, I just opened the database link to the articles in another tab. You DO NOT need to read every single one of these that you open, you do NOT need to read them one at a time before choosing to open another.
Okay, so, now that you've got a bunch of articles to sift through, you start an annotated bibliography. The way that I *personally* do this is to start by putting the info I will need to cite each of these articles/books/etc, into a document. I also create a new folder and download everything that I possibly can.
Two of my sources were books that I have institutional permission to view but not to download, so I have those open in my browser.
Downloading is an important step. Download, download, download. Don't just leave these up in the browser and close them after you've skimmed them and decided they aren't necessary - download them because you could get a third of the way into your paper and realize that, actually, that WAS a necessary part of your paper and downloading will save you the hassle of trying to go find the paper online again (this is also why you START this process by getting the citation/publication info into a document).
At this stage you have STILL not read any of these documents. You are still NOT going to actually read them for at least one more step, you are going to start by skimming.
Your next step is to just skim each of these documents to see if they are *at all* relevant to your research paper.
So, for instance, that paper on "Landscape and the mask of self" is actually a paper on *geography,* not a paper on literary criticism. There's a good chance that it is not going to have anything to do with my topic, so I am going to skim it [pause for skimming] and after skimming it, it's an intertextual exploration of geography and Orwell's story, history, and other writings on empire. This text *IS* relevant to my paper, which I now need to note in my bibliography document.
I'm not going to completely read this paper, yet, or pull any quotes out of it, I just make a note in my document that it touches on themes that will show up in my paper.
Then I move on to another document and skim it [pause for skimming] and it appears that "This Side of the Barricades" is okayish background on Orwell that I might use if I really need to justify a statement, but is more journalistic than literary and is not really on the subject of the work that I'm discussing. It is not useful to my paper, so I make a note of *why* it is not useful in my document.
What I also start doing at this point is sorting out "useful" and "not useful" with visual cues. I use a highlighter in my document, and I also change the titles of the PDFs so that they will be sorted in my file explorer with useful stuff at the top and less useful stuff at the bottom:
And that is all for the moment. I'll write more once I've skimmed all my possible sources but I'm getting worried that tumblr is going to crash and eat this post.

Hello, citizens of tumblr!
I’m currently in my second year of Medicine in the middle of this pandemic. Two weeks in with my online classes and I’m having love/hate relationships with online learning. So if you guys are also struggling trying to get through the day— I have some motivational juices and tips if you need some inspo on developing your study habits during quarantine.
PRODUCTIVITY
I have tried dozens of productivity apps and even made a bujo journal on goodnotes but nothing quite works like magic like Microsoft’s To Do app. For lazy people like me, this one snaps just fine because you can organize your to-do lists by subjects. What attracted me the most was the remind features and the satisfactory sound effect when you get a task complete. Interestingly, this app is available for free. If this doesn’t spice up your productivity idk man…. It also syncs in all your devices which makes it easier for you to track. 
TIME MANAGEMENT
There’s a lot of things that we need to cover in second year, so studying smart and time management is the ultimate solution to this. I study shorter and easier lessons first because this gets my productivity setting the day—seeing that I get a lot of stuff done makes me push harder. I study around 15 hours day and I know it sounds boring but I managed to turn it around with a bit of discipline. I’m an active lifter and once I achieve my goals for the day, I reward myself with a workout as some sort of brain break, or watch an episode or two of Grey’s anatomy. It pays off because you start studying efficiently once you know you have to earn something. I don’t recommend cramming unless it works for you because the information retained is short-term.
STUDY HABITS AND TIPS
The first thing I make sure in the morning is waking up with a fresh mind. If something is bothering the moment you wake up—face it first or else it will bother your for the rest of the and disturb you in your peak productive hours. Organize your time by studying the essentials parts first and then if you have time, supplement with good-to-knows. If you have a hard time trying to comprehend a topic, watch a youtube video. It’ll help you retain information easier too. Remember, essentials first before flexing good-to-knows. Take short breaks to refresh your brain from all the things you learned today. If you continue to push studying, you retain nothing and just have a severe headache. Remember that it’s important to rest or else you will hardly comprehend anything. I’ve stuck with my study habit since college – I read my notes and books and list down information that are either:
Need to know
Hard to Remember
Confusing to remember
Values
I reread my lessons twice if I have time in preparation for an exam. If not, I just simply read my flashcards and I know I’m good to go. I prefer writing it down because it’s sort of easy to remember as well for me. 
HEALTH
Girl, get your workout done. Studying all day sitting is straining on your posterior chain, so stretch once in a while, if you need breaks— do a 15 minute workout that’ll keep your energy running. Also, it’s a good substitute for a cup of coffee. You have to take care of yourself although you’re a medical student trying to study how take care of others— getting sick is the last thing you want. I hope you are all safe, happy and healthy, luv!

Soooo I have been doing some experimentation and switched into the dark templates! Turns out I’m very much pleased as to how my notes look although it takes longer for me to finish it. I find the Liver very interesting and have been overstudying it, I think?
Anyways, I’m currently indulging on my 6th bar of chocolate 🍫 🤭
