One way to try to get a handle on what's happening in a scientific field is to study citations in research papers. n a visualization of a complex network with many links, however, it can be very difficult to recognize significant patterns amid the clutter
Scientists isolated morphine from opium, leading to the belief (in the West at least) that a single, non-living compound in a plant was responsible for its healing properties. This helped create the biomedical model of pharmacotherapy, where plants are se
A single protein in the brain influences arousal of despair, according to new study in mice. Brain biopsies revealed that mice trying hardest to escape shocks had highest levels of delta-FosB - which may also help humans avoid hopelessness & helplessness.
This database was constructed in a purely automated manner, using a set of heuristics to identify acronyms/abbreviations and their definitions within MEDLINE records. Currently, it is the world's largest and most comprehensive catalog of biomedical acrony
TRITE is a pre-computed set of Medline similarity hits on topics of interest to medical researchers. TRITE uses the eTBLAST engine, operating on an edited set of topics selected from the Encyclopidia of Molecular Biology, Blackwell Science, Limited. The q
Semantic Web Health Care and Life Sciences Interest Group is designed to improve collaboration, research and development, and innovation adoption in the health care and life science industries, & aiding decision-making in clinical research
Primary applications will include transfusable blood substitution; partial treatment for anemia, perinatal/neonatal and lung disorders; enhancement of cardiovascular/neurovascular procedures, tumor therapies and diagnostics; prevention of asphyxia...
Our professors do the research. They write the papers and proofread them. They even do the peer review. Then they sign the copyright over to publishers, who don’t pay them a dime —they’re paid by grants and salary, our taxes, and tuition. Harvard th
A recent study found people who took levodopa were 95% more likely to choose symbols associated with higher monetary gains than those who took haloperidol. As a result, the levodopa group won more money, but they did not lose less money. "The results show
Vast improvements in raw computing power, storage capacity, algorithms, and networking capabilities have led to fundamental scientific discoveries inspired by a new generation of computational models . . .Powerful 'data mining' techniques operating across
As we yawn and open our eyes in the morning, the brain stem sends little puffs of nitric oxide to another part of the brain, the thalamus, which then directs it elsewhere. Like a computer booting up its operating system before running more complicated
On June 23, 2009, the U.S. National Library of Medicine® (NLM®) released DOCLINE 4.0. DOCLINE is the NLM automated interlibrary loan requesting system. The system provides nearly 3,000 health science libraries in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine® (NN/LM®), Canada, Mexico, and other selected international libraries, with the means to request the interlibrary loan of biomedical literature.\n\nThe new version contains a key enhancement of the Serial Holdings module requested by users. It also introduces simplified serials title searching, modified screen designs to improve the display and editing of serial holdings records, search filtering by acquisition status, and a new function called Show All My Holdings which allows authorized users to display a list of all of their library's holdings for efficient review and update.\n\n
PubMed Central® (PMC) is a free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the U.S. National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM)
Subscription models make publishers insist on controlling access to research they didn't perform, write up, or fund. They act like a midwives who insist on keeping (or hiding, or performing surgery on) other folks' babies.
Compilation of resources to access clinical and scientific research on complementary, alternative, and integrative medicine. Links point to clinical, biomedical, review, meta-analytical or survey research in the USA, Europe and Asia.
