- COMPARATIVE STUDY EVALUATION STUDIES HUMAN ONLINE SYSTEMS
- AB: Many research workers, to save time, rely entirely on either on-line or
- off-line databases offered by an increasing number of information services.
- The characteristics of eight databases, including five on-line services,
- were analysed in the present study concerning the retrieval of information
- on dengue, the most important mosquito-borne viral disease of humans.
- Differences in the rate of retrieval among data-bases were apparent,
- depending on the main subject of publication as well as on the geographical
- location of the publisher. While rates of retrieval of references in
- molecular biology were generally satisfactory (mostly > 70%), those in
- clinical medicine and epidemiology were not (< 50%). The latter, as
- published in many dengue-endemic tropical countries, were found to be
- inadequately covered. For the global surveillance of dengue, which has
- increased in intensity and spread to many countries because of increased
- international travel, the development of a new database emphasizing
- tropical geographic medicine is highly desirable.

- AB: Most libraries cannot meet patron demands for biomedical information using
- only their in-house collections. Consequently, many types of libraries
- request biomedical information through interlibrary loan, and these include
- not only academic health sciences libraries, hospital and special
- libraries, but also general libraries. In Nevada, with its small population
- spread over a large geographic area, it has become critical to develop a
- statewide network for sharing biomedical information. As the state resource
- library, the Savitt Medical Library launched an effort to establish a
- network, via DOCLINE, of all Nevada libraries that have health-related
- collections. The process of convincing academic and community college
- libraries to join DOCLINE and the resulting benefits of improved resource
- sharing and cooperative collection development are discussed.

- freetext indexes provide the data for extremely fast searching on author

- TE: Ascorbic Acid 50-81-7
- AB: OBJECTIVE: To assess the comprehensiveness of Medline and Embase computer
- searches for controlled trials. DESIGN: Comparison of articles found after
- an exhaustive search of the literature with the yield of a Medline or
- Embase search. This was performed for controlled clinical trials on the
- efficacy of three interventions: homoeopathy, ascorbic acid for common
- cold, and ginkgo biloba for intermittent claudication and cerebral
- insufficiency. The number of controlled trials found by exhaustive search
- of the literature was 107, 61 and 45, respectively. RESULTS: For
- homoeopathy, ascorbic acid and ginkgo the proportion of all trials found by
- Medline was 17%, 36% and 31% respectively and for Embase 13%, 25% and 58%
- respectively. After checking of the references in the Medline articles 44%,
- 79% and 76% of all trials were identified. After checking of the references
- in the Embase articles 42%, 72% and 93% of all trials were identified.
- About 20% of the articles was not correctly indexed. Of the best trials
- 68%, 91% and 83% could be found with Medline and 55%, 82% and 92% of the
- best trials were identified through Embase. CONCLUSIONS: For the topics
- mentioned, Medline and Embase searches are sufficient to get an impression
- of the evidence from controlled trials, but only if references in the
- articles are followed for further evidence. If one wants to get a more
- complete picture, additional search strategies make sense. Of course, this
- picture may be different for other topics.

- AB: We have developed a computer database containing information on over 1,000
- human hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT) mutants. Both
- published and unpublished data are present. The database itself is
- maintained in a dBASE format (.DBF) and we provide a set of programs to
- examine and extract information from the database. A program to input
- information into the database is also supplied. The database and programs
- are available directly from us or via remote FTP (file transfer protocol)
- using BITNET/INTERNET. All programs require an IBM-compatible computer, the
- MS-DOS operating system (version 3.3 or greater), and a hard disk with
- about 5 megabytes of free disk space. The purpose of the database is 1) to
- allow investigators to contribute their HPRT mutants directly to the
- database in a standardized fashion, and 2) to allow access to the entire
- database with a set of programs that allows manipulation and extraction of
- data. For example, using our programs it is possible to i) order the
- database by base pair position, ii) examine only information regarding
- mutagenesis by a particular agent, iii) search for a particular author, iv)
- create a report which contains selected portions of the database, the
- report can be printed or saved as a file. The database will be updated
- every several months and distributed.

- AB: The medical literature has grown to an unmanageable size, and we need to
- develop information systems that provide better accessibility. An internal
- medicine residency program is an ideal setting for developing a system in
- which articles are screened for usefulness in clinical decision making and
- organized to be rapidly accessible and relatively inexpensive to use. In
- our residency training program, we use clinical problem-solving, journal
- club article review, and teaching conference preparation to generate
- appropriate articles from PAPERCHASE (MEDLINE) database searches. With the
- chief resident supervising the process, articles are then selected and
- organized in a computerized article file. The software program, Reference
- Manager (Research Information Systems, Inc., Encinitas, California), stores
- article citations and supports searches using standard, medical subject
- heading vocabulary key words. In an 18-month period, residents have
- collected more than 1800 references appropriate to clinical decision making
- and have established an article file that is now used daily as a medical
- information source.

- AB: Science Citation Index (SCI) depends for intellectual content entirely on
- citations by authors, who are sometimes prodded by editors and referees.
- Its patchiness is therefore not surprising, but frequently it gives access
- to relevant and up-to-date documents not easily accessible by other means.
- Two contrasting "citation families" are described. The first family,
- dealing with the various ascorbic acid derivatives having C substitution at
- C-2, actually retrieved very nearly all the relevant documents (other than
- patent specifications) that were retrieved by a CAS ONLINE substructure
- search. Organic chemists are clearly careful authors. The second family,
- dealing with amino acid residues covalently bound in soil organic matter,
- yielded documents having surprisingly little overlap with those retrieved
- by using a carefully devised Boolean "profile" on the general subject index
- of Chemical Abstracts. This was only partly because SCI is beset by
- language-barrier problems to which Chemical Abstracts is immune. The SCI
- management might extend its journal coverage, but otherwise improvement can
- only come from a more serious attitude to placing references in primary
- publications. SCI remains a complement to, not a substitute for, other
- data-bases.

- AB: Both Current Contents on Diskette and Reference Update provide an excellent
- mechanism for keeping abreast of the biomedical literature with a personal
- computer. Both systems are compatible with the two major database
- management programs for manipulating reprint files. Reference Update
- exports directly to Reference Manager (a choice on the main menu).
- Exporting to a file can also be done with one of four formats: Table of
- Contents, MEDLINE, Full, and One Line. To export Reference Update records
- into Pro-Cite, for example, the records must first be downloaded into
- MEDLINE format. Current Contents on Diskette also exports in four different
- formats: MEDLINE, Comma Delimited, Screen Image, and DIALOG. MEDLINE
- corresponds to Reference Manager format, and Comma Delimited corresponds to
- Pro-Cite format. Both products include reprint request systems that can be
- used directly from the programs. The two products share many features and
- differ primarily in terms of journal coverage. Current Contents on Diskette
- provides document delivery by means of the Genuine Article service, and
- Reference Update offers a synonym feature. Both programs are attractive
- alternatives to manual or on-line searching of the biomedical literature.
