<h3><a name = "advisory">New Clinical Advisory Issued</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>March 18, 2003</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) has issued a new Clinical Advisory:
</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="/databases/alerts/hiv.html">Important Interim Results from a Phase III, Randomized,
Double-Blind Comparison of Three Protease-Inhibitor-Sparing Regimens for the Initial Treatment of
HIV Infection (AACTG Protocol A5095)</a> </li>
</ul>
<p>
A recent review of the study by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) found that in antiretroviral treatment-na￿ patients, a
combination preparation of three nucleoside analogues, Trizivir￿, was inferior to two other
efavirenz-containing treatment regimens being evaluated in the study. The data met pre-specified
guidelines for stopping this one arm of the study based on virologic failure. There were no
concerns about the toxicity of the study drugs

<h3><a name = "milestone">MEDLINE Milestone - 12 Millionth Journal Citation</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>April 03, 2003</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
On March 7, MEDLINE attained a major milestone when the 12 millionth journal citation
was added to the database. The citation is:
</p>
<p>
Foulder-Hughes LA, Cooke RW.<br />
Motor, cognitive, and behavioural disorders in children born very preterm.<br />
Dev Med Child Neurol. 2003 Feb;45(2):97-103.<br />
PMID: 12578235 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]<br />
</p>
<p>
The article was indexed using NLM's Web-based Data Creation and Maintenance System
(DCMS) which was implemented in late 2000. When the 10 millionth citation was indexed
on July 10, 1999, NLM was still using the mainframe computer-based indexing system
called AIMS (Automated Indexing and Management System) and PubMed was searched at
the rate of 16 million searches per month and updated with MeSH-indexed MEDLINE
citations once per week. Approximately 30&#37; of data entry came from electronic
submissions and NLM indexed a total of about 434,000 citations from 4,007 journals
by the close of that Fiscal Year. MEDLINE was licensed by 57 organizations.
</p>
<p>
Today, PubMed is searched at a rate of more than 30 million searches per month and updated
with MeSH-indexed citations 5 times per week. More than 65&#37; of data entry comes from
electronic submissions and NLM reached the all time high of about 502,000 indexed
citations from 4,538 journals at the close of Fiscal Year 2002. MEDLINE is leased
by about 170 organizations (the majority of which are mining the data for research
purposes). What a difference a few years can make!

<p>
The cow and <em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em> have been added to the list of LocusLink organisms.
Initially there were five organisms in <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene">LocusLink</a> - human, mouse, rat, fruit fly, and zebrafish.
HIV-1 was added on May 30, 2002. Cow (<em>Bos taurus</em>) was added on December 2, 2002 and
<em>Caenorhabditis elegans</em>, a nematode, was added on December 31, 2002.

<li>In July 2002, NCBI announced the availability of new programming for the
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25500/">Entrez Utilities</a> (E-Utilities) and
informed utility users that they should convert URLs to the

<br /><br />
NCBI will phase out the old utilities completely in June 2003. This may affect customers
of some products such as EndNote<sup><font size=-2>&#174;</font></sup>,
ProCite<sup><font size=-2>&#174;</font></sup>, and Reference Manager<sup><font size=-2>&#174;</font></sup>.
Please contact
user support for your respective product if you have questions. Questions concerning the use
of E-Utilities can be sent to: <a href="mailto:eutilities@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov">eutilities@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov</a>.
<br /><br />
</li>
<li>If you have manually created links to PubMed that contain the string: <strong>/htbin-post/</strong>,
these should be changed to follow the specifications provided on the page,

NLM is proud to announce that March 19, 2003 at 11:09am Eastern Time
the DOCLINE system processed its 10 millionth
request since the Web version was released in July 2000. The 10 millionth

user's hospital library in San Diego, California in just over 2 hours.

phrases in double quotes. For more information see

<h3><a name = "911">Special List Indicators No Longer Searchable in LocatorPlus</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>April xx, 2003</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
As of November 2002, citation subset codes, also called Special List Indicators,
are no longer searchable in <a href="http://130.14.16.152/">LocatorPlus</a>. This includes the following subset codes:
</p>
<p>
E &nbsp; ethics<br />
Q &nbsp; history of medicine<br />
S &nbsp; &nbsp;space life sciences<br />
X &nbsp; AIDS/HIV
</p>
<p>
These data are being removed from the LocatorPlus MARC field 911 during March-April 2003.
The LocatorPlus 911 index has already been disabled. Data not yet deleted can still be seen
in the MARC view of a record, but is no longer searchable. Searchers should not use the
Advanced Menu to search for Special List Indicator.
</p>
<p>
These data are now being managed in the Data Creation and Maintenance System
(DCMS) for the MEDLINE indexing workflow. To offset the loss of this information in LocatorPlus
NLM intends to make available on the Web later this year lists of currently indexed journals for these
special citation subsets.
