he National Library of Medicine<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup> (NLM<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>) has a new, free Web application designed to help healthcare professionals search PubMed, read journal abstracts, and access <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em> using their wireless, handheld computers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can choose among these three functions from the application's home page, found at [April 8, 2006: This link was removed because it is no longer valid.]<!--<a href="http://certif.nlm.nih.gov:8080/nlm/">http://certif.nlm.nih.gov:8080/nlm/</a>--> (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>).

<p><strong>
|
|
Searching PubMed
|
|
</strong><br />
|
|
|
|
When you click on the "Search MEDLINE/PubMed" link available on the application's home page, you reach a screen from which you can search PubMed with no filters, or you can narrow your search using the Systematic Reviews or Clinical Queries filters (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>).</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<center>
|
|
<a name="fig2" id="fig2"> </a>
|
|
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ja03/graphics/pda_2.gif" alt="Figure 2: Search PubMed with or without Filters"/>

|
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>
|
|
Viewing Journal Article Abstracts
|
|
</strong><br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you click on the "Read new Journal Abstracts" link, you are taken to a screen that allows you to view abstracts of articles published in the journals that make up PubMed's <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/aim.html">core clinical journals</a> subset (see <a href="#fig3">Figure 3</a>). </p>
|
|
|
|
<center>
|
|
<a name="fig3" id="fig3"> </a>
|
|
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ja03/graphics/pda_3.gif" alt="Figure 3: Search for Abstracts from Core Clinical Journals"/>
|
|
</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can search for abstracts using two different methods. At the top of the screen, you can choose from one of 28 of the journals, which are listed by NLM title abbreviation in a pull-down menu, and then click the "Display abstracts" button. Or, if the journal whose abstracts you'd like to view is not among those listed in the pull-down menu, you can enter any part of the journal's title (or the NLM title abbreviation) into the search box on the lower half of the screen (see <a href="#fig4">Figure 4</a>), and then click the "Search journal title" button, to retrieve a list of all the core clinical journals that contain the word(s) entered (see <a href="#fig5">Figure 5</a>).
|
|
</p>
|

|
<a name="fig4" id="fig4"> </a>
|

<img src="/pubs/techbull/ja03/graphics/pda_4.gif" alt="Figure 4: Search Using Terms from Any Part of Journal Title"/>

<a name="fig5" id="fig5"> </a>
|
|
<img src="/pubs/techbull/ja03/graphics/pda_5.gif" alt="Figure 5: Retrieve List of Core Clinical Journal Titles with Matching Term"/>
|
|
</center>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
From the list of journals you retrieve, you then click on the journal title of your choice to see the abstracts from that journal. Often, the most current abstracts will appear at the top of your results list.</p>

Accessing <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em>
|
|
</strong><br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
This application also provides access to <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/clintrial.html"><em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em></a>, a database with information on clinical research studies (see <a href="#fig6">Figure 6</a>).</p>

Application Requirements
|
|
</strong><br />
|
|
|
|
|
|
The application is platform independent, working with Palm OS<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, PocketPC<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, and Linux<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup> personal digital assistants (PDAs). It is compatible with most commonly used Web browsers, including, but not limited to AvantGo<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, Blazer<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, Eudora Web<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, WebPro<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, Internet Explorer<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup> and Netscape<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Using this application requires no new file installation; it does not take up space in the PDA's memory, apart from in the browser's cache. It has been tested with 802.11b networking protocols, Bluetooth Wireless Technology<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, InfraRed PDA Connect<sup><font size=-2>®</font></sup>, as well as wireless modem and desktop synch technologies.</p>
