<h1>Papers of Cardiologist Edward D. Freis Added to Profiles in Science<span class="registered">&#174;</span></h1>
<div class="actions">June 01, 2006 <span class="status">[posted]</span>
</div>
<p>The papers of cardiologist <a href="//profiles.nlm.nih.gov/XF/">Edward D. Freis</a> are the most recent collection added to the NLM Profiles in Science Web site, dedicated to the lives and works of prominent 20th century biomedical scientists.</p>
<p>This online Exhibit is designed to introduce you to the various phases of Freis' scientific career and professional life. It is divided into sections that focus on Freis' life and major scientific contributions to public health.</p>
<p>Edward David Freis (1912-2005) was an American cardiologist who made key contributions to clinical and scientific understanding of cardiovascular disease. He is best known as the father of the first double-blind, multi-institutional controlled clinical trial of cardiovascular drugs, the Veterans Administration Cooperative Study on Antihypertensive Agents. This landmark study demonstrated that treating high blood pressure--hypertension with medication could dramatically reduce disability and death from stroke, congestive heart failure, and other cardiovascular diseases. Freis received a Lasker Award in 1971 in recognition of this work. The study provided the impetus for the establishment of the National High Blood Pressure Education Program by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in 1972, and launched an era of preventive cardiology.</p>
<p>As part of its Profiles in Science project, the National Library of Medicine is digitizing and making available over the World Wide Web a selection of the Edward D. Freis Papers, for use by educators and researchers. This Web site provides access to the portions of the Edward D. Freis Papers that are now publicly available. Individuals interested in conducting research in the Edward D. Freis Papers are invited to <a href="//profiles.nlm.nih.gov/XF/Views/Exhibit/other/hmd.html">contact</a> the National Library of Medicine.</p>
<p>The collection can be accessed from the <a href="//profiles.nlm.nih.gov/">Profiles in Science</a> Web site.</p>

<h1>NCBI Toolbar No Longer Supported</h1>
<div class="actions">June 14, 2006 <span class="status">[posted]</span>
</div>
<p>The link for the <a href="/pubs/techbull/nd05/nd05_toolbar.html">NCBI Toolbar</a>, as announced in the Nov-Dec 2005 issue of the <em>Technical Bulletin</em>, has been removed from PubMed's blue sidebar. We regret that we will no longer be able to provide technical support for the NCBI Toolbar. It has been increasingly difficult to maintain this product in the face of more pressing demands for NCBI databases and services. You may continue to use your current version of the NCBI Toolbar, but we will not be able to provide technical assistance or updates.</p>

<h1>Try New Features in PubMed<span class="registered">&#174;</span></h1>
<div class="actions">June 21, 2006 <span class="status">[posted]</span>
</div>
<p>NCBI and other NLM<span class="registered">&reg;</span> Divisions are working to make the wealth of information in the Entrez databases more accessible to PubMed users. In upcoming months, searchers may encounter options designed to lead them to additional Entrez resources. Currently, searchers can find a link on the Abstract display that will take them to a new version of that format. We hope PubMed users will try this and future enhancements and let us know if they lead to useful information.</p>
