If you can get GIF into your CAD or drawing program, you can scale the maps to fit your individualized patient's AC PC distance, thereby generating a customized map for your patient. CompuServe offers many programs for reading GIF files, and converting GIF files to other graphical formats. Through IQuest, we searched medical databases. Simple menus helped define relevant search terms. When done, IQuest searched selected databases for us, and presented the selected articles on our local computer screen. We used the "SmartScan" search mode in the "Medical research" area. IQuest searched several databases with a minimum of manual intervention. First, it reported that the following databases would be included in the search: BRS databases: Ageline Contains references to and abstracts of materials on aging and the elderly. Covers psychological, medical, economic, and political concerns. AIDS Database Includes critically selected articles covering all aspects of AIDS, (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome), and AIDS related research. AIDS Knowledge Base Provides an online textbook of the most current information on AIDS available from San Francisco General Hospital. Combined Health Information Database For professionals, patients, and the general public, CHID contains references to a variety of materials on arthritis, diabetes, health education, digestive diseases, and high blood pressure. Provides abstracts. Embase Includes extensive abstracts of articles related to biomedicine from medical journals worldwide. About 40% of the references are online only. Rehabdata Covers articles, books, reports, and audiovisual materials dealing with the rehabilitation of the physically and mentally handicapped. References only. Sport Database Indexes publications dealing with sports, including training, medicine, education, and history. Drawn mostly from English and French with technical articles from other languages. Dialog databases: BioBusiness Deals with the business aspects of biotechnology and biomedical research. Draws from BIOSIS and MANAGEMENT CONTENTS. BIOSIS Previews Provides international coverage of all aspects of biological science. Cancerlit Monitors articles from journals and other technical publications dealing with all aspects of cancer research throughout the world. Includes abstracts. Clinical Abstracts Covers human clinical study articles of major importance selected from leading medical journals. Includes all aspects of clinical medicine. Corresponds to Abstracts in Internal Medicine. Abstracts available. Life Sciences Collection Abstracts technical literature in the life sciences from journals and other scientific publications worldwide. Medline (1966 to date) Indexes articles from medical journals published worldwide. Corresponds to Index Medicus, International Nursing Index and Index to Dental Literature. Includes abstracts in roughly 40% of the records. SciSearch Monitors worldwide literature across a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines. Produced by the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Next, we entered our search term: "LIVER AND CYST/". The search word "CYST/" signified "cyst" should match any words starting with these four characters. 3 of 12 23.11.2009 15:45
Your personal HealthNet http://home.eunet.no/~presno/bok/6.html While searching, IQuest gave the following progress report: Scanning BRS databases. Accessing Network...........Completed. Accessing Database Host.....Completed. Logging on..................Completed. Logging on (second step)....Completed. Selecting Databases.........Completed. Each period equals one line of scanned data. This may take several minutes....................... It reported in the same way while "Scanning Dialog databases." When the search results were presented, we quickly browsed the article abstracts, ordered two articles to be sent us by mail, and typed BYE. CompuServe reported "Off at 09:12 EST 17 Nov 88 Connect time = 0:35." The two articles arrived in Norway by mail a few weeks later. The trip, including visits in medical forums, took 35 minutes. The cost, including local telephone and network charges, was US$95. Of this total cost, the extra cost of searching through IQuest amounted to US$54.00. We all felt that the costs were well justified. A note about costs: The online tour was done manually, using full menus. We discussed our search strategy while connected. This is more expensive than logging off to plan the next moves. Also, note that the extra cost of searching IQuest ($54) was not time dependent. Note that the cost of doing an equivalent search today may well be lower. Since then, I first promised to donate one of my kidneys to her when the time came. This prompted me (in 1993) to join a mailing list for "Organ transplant recipients and anyone else interested in the issues" (the TRNSPLNT mailing list). In October 1995, came D Day. We were both enrolled at the Rikshospitalet in Norway. Her two kidneys were taken out, and my left kidney was put in there instead. The time at the hospital was critical, and we almost lost her. However, in late spring things started slowly to pick up again!! If you're facing a transplant, visit The TransWeb Transplantation and Donation page. It is well informed and useful with information of interest to patients as well as professionals. Alcohol Has your life been affected by someone else's drinking? The Al Anon & Alateen WWW Server is offered by a world wide organization for the families and friends of alcoholics. Alateen is for teenagers. If you are concerned about someone else's drinking, or were raised in an alcoholic home, then this resource may be for you. It offers a self help recovery program for families and friends of alcoholics whether or not the alcoholic seeks help or even recognizes the existence of a drinking problem. Information is provided in several languages. Cancer Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled, it can result in death. Anyone can get cancer. Since incidence rises with age, most cases affect adults in mid life or older. Researchers estimate that if everything known about the prevention of cancer was applied, up to two thirds of cancer could be prevented (source: The American Cancer Society).
