File this!: Abstract Alerts in Conventional Med, Herbal Med & Acupuncture

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

If YOU are interested in research abstracts on ANY aspect of

medicine you may wish to bookmark the BIOMAIL URL. It is:

http://biomail.sourceforge.net/biomail

 

Biomail allows users to set up their personal search profiles and to

receive weekly Alerts of any new abstracts added that match those

profiles. It is a great service in ALL areas of medicine (conventional

and complementary), and it is FREE! Try it in areas that interest you!

 

For example, those interested in current treatments/prevention of

mental illness might register [under their personal email address] the

following profile: (treatment? OR prevent*) AND (psychiat* OR

depression OR schizoph* OR paranoi* OR phobi*)

 

Acupuncturists could register the following profile:

(acupo* OR acupu* OR LLLT OR " low-level-laser " OR moxib* OR

" transcutaneous electrical nerve " )

 

Herbalists could register the following profile:

(herb? OR herbal* OR phytother* OR kampo OR Ayurvedic)

 

Those interested in BOTH herbal med AND acup might register:

(acupo* OR acupu* OR LLLT OR " low-level-laser " OR moxib* OR

" transcutaneous electrical nerve " OR herb? OR herbal* OR

phytother* OR kampo OR Ayurvedic)

 

Please note that the Boolean linking words " or " and " and " MUST be

typed in uppercase letters, i.e. OR and AND, respectively.

 

Note that the * is used at the end of a word; acupo* returns all words

beginning with acupo, i.e. acupoint, acupuncture, acupuncturist, etc.

 

The ? puts 0 or 1 character at that position; ?? puts 0, 1 or 2

characters in that position. One or more ? marks can go anywhere

in a word except at the beginning; dog? returns dog, dogs, doge;

an??mi? returns anemia, anemic, anaemia, anaemic, etc
