<P>
|

The National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) launched a new Web site,
|
||
<A HREF="http://toxtown.nlm.nih.gov/">Tox Town</A>, on October 7, 2002. Tox Town is a pilot project
|
||
that explores how best to provide environmental health information to a general
|
||
audience. Tox Town looks at an ordinary town and points out environmental hazards that may be in that town.
|
||
Users can click on a town location, like the school, and see a cutaway view of that building. Toxic chemicals
|
||
that might be found in the school are listed, along with links to selected Internet resources about school environments.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
In this first release, Tox Town gives information on eight chemicals and eleven locations in an
|
||
imaginary small town. Plans to expand
|
||
Tox Town include adding more chemicals and new scenes, such as an urban community and a farming region.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
Information on chemical and environmental concerns is assembled from the
|
||
<A HREF="http://toxtown.nlm.nih.gov/text_version/about.php">TOXNET<SUP><FONT SIZE=-2>®</FONT></SUP></A> and
|
||
<A HREF="http://medlineplus.gov/">MedlinePlus<SUP><FONT SIZE=-2>®</FONT></SUP></A>
|
||
resources of the NLM, as well as other authoritative sources. The chemical descriptions ("What is arsenic?") were
|
||
written for Tox Town using TOXNET and other resources and were reviewed by NLM toxicology staff.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
For further information, please contact Cindy Love, Office of Outreach and Special Populations,
|

<ACRONYM TITLE="National Library of Medicine">NLM's</ACRONYM> end-of-year activities schedule for
|
||
MEDLINE/PubMed has changed. We anticipate that these activities
|
||
will be completed early and new PubMed will be available on November 26, 2002. PubMed will use 2003 vocabulary
|
||
in the MeSH translation tables and MeSH Browser as well as on the citation data. The Medical Subject Headings
|
||
(MeSH<53>) vocabulary has been revised and it is advisable to review the changes to see if any will affect
|
||
searches used to generate updates such as those stored in the PubMed Cubby.
|
||
For instruction on updating your Cubby stored searches see the article:
|
||

|
||
For 2003 MeSH, a total of 1250 new headings were added, 93 headings were replaced with more up-to-date
|
||
terminology, 1727
|
||
synonyms (i.e., Entry Terms) were added, and 20 headings were deleted. Lists of all new headings and
|
||
of deleted and replaced
|

headings are posted on the <A HREF="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/changes2003.html">MeSH</A> Web site.

Since 1992, the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information
|
||
Program (TEHIP) of the Specialized Information Services Division (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine
|
||
(NLM) has produced a quarterly bibliography of methods and procedures helpful in
|
||
supporting the development, testing, application, and validation of alternatives to the use of
|
||
vertebrates in biomedical research and toxicology testing. The multiple bibliographies of <EM>Alternatives
|
||
to the Use of Live Vertebrates in Biomedical Research and
|
||
Testing</EM> have been combined into one easily searchable database containing all 10 years of data.
|
||
The new database
|
||
is called ALTBIB and it is availabe at:
|
||
<A HREF="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/altbib.html">http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/altbib.html</A>.
|
||
Yearly updates are planned for this database.

<P>
|

|
||
On December 4, 2002, the term-weighted algorithm used to create the Related Articles links for
|
||
each PubMed citation was modified to better calculate
|
||
citations that are closely related to a selected article. In addition, a
|
||
citation length correction was applied, i.e., the total number of words in a citation is now considered.
|
||
This compensates for abstract length thereby producing an improved list of related articles for citations
|
||
that do not have abstracts.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
Please refer to the new algorithm for additional information.

On or about December 19, 2002, the Text and File options of PubMed's new
|
||
Send to function (announced December 2, 2002, <A HREF="/pubs/techbull/nd02/nd02_pm_changes.html">
|
||
<EM>Page Selection, Send to, and Links: Changes to PubMed<SUP><FONT SIZE =-2>®</FONT></SUP>.
|
||
<ACRONYM TITLE="National Library of Medicine">NLM's</ACRONYM> Tech Bull. 2002 Nov-Dec;(329):e7.</EM> </A>) will
|
||
switch positions so that Text is the default. The sequence on the
|
||
pull-down menu will be: Text, File, Clipboard, and Order. PubMed
|
||
searchers use the Text option (which displays retrieval without the
|
||
sidebar and toolbars) far more often than other Send to options so this
|
||
is a change to make the most frequently used option the default.
|
||
|

|
||
<FONT size="2"><strong>December 12, 2002</strong> [posted]</font>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
Letters to the editor are often a comment on an article published in an earlier issue of a journal.
|
||
Such letters are often followed by a reply or response
|
||
written by one or more authors of the earlier or original article.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
The pagination for MEDLINE citations to such letters was constructed following the pattern:
|
||
</P>
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI>925; discussion 925-6
|
||
<LI>740-1; discussion 741-3
|
||
<LI>690-1; discussion 692-3
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
The pagination range for the text of the author(s) who wrote and submitted the letter was indicated,
|
||
followed by the word <STRONG>discussion</STRONG>, and the
|
||
pagination range of the text written by one or more of the original article author(s) as a reply to the letter.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
Beginning immediately, new rules will be followed for pagination for letters
|
||
to the editor that include text
|
||
consisting of an author reply. If the reply is written by one or more of the authors of the original article,
|
||
the words <STRONG>author reply</STRONG> will be used in the pagination field rather than the
|
||
word <STRONG>discussion</STRONG>.
|
||
For example:
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<UL>
|
||
<LI> 925; author reply 925-6
|
||
<LI> 740-1; author reply 741-3
|
||
<LI>690-1; author reply 692-3
|
||
</UL>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
<ACRONYM TITLE="National Library of Medicine">NLM's</ACRONYM> expects to perform global maintenance
|
||
and change the word <STRONG>discussion</STRONG> to words <STRONG>author reply
|
||
</STRONG> in retrospective citations. In the event that the text following a letter is written by
|
||
someone other than the author(s) of the original article (most likely the text would then be written
|
||
by the journal editor), the word <STRONG>discussion</STRONG> would be used and not <STRONG>author reply</STRONG>.
|
||
</P>
|
||
|
||
<P>
|
||
Please also note that <STRONG>discussion</STRONG> will continue to be used within pagination for other
|
||
types of articles, such as an article presented
|
||
at a meeting that is followed by the text of a separate discussion or verbal exchange by a panel or
|
||
others attending the meeting.
|
||
This new rule for pagination that will include author reply applies only to Publication Type Letter citations.
|
||
