Articles |
|
PubMed
(Medline) |
A vast source of medical articles gathered by the NIH (National
Institute of Health). Invaluable tool for research. Only shows abstacts
unless you have some kind of professional arrangement. The articles are
unreviewed. Often called Medline but not to be confused with the Medline
at www.medline.com who supply medical equipment. |
|
| National Library of Medicine's
MEDLINEplus |
Supersearch of Medline (PubMed) - allows you to search by
category. |
|
| KIB - Internet Resources |
This is a terrific resource from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet's
Library. All sorts of wonderful stuff here. In places speaking Swedish
would help, but most of it is in English and you can't really complain
about people writing in their native language. |
|
| Medscape |
This is the neurology page of medscape which has peer reviewed
articles often with the full text. Not as many articles as PubMed but they
cut out the chaff for you. You need to register to get this, but it's well
worth it as they send you a mail every month telling you what's going on.
Used by a lot of doctors. |
|
| Brain |
mportant source of neurology articles. Articles older than 2 years are free. |
|
| BioMedNet |
Major source of medical articles (some full text), medical news,
conference reports and other resources. Free registration brings
extra benefits including email alerts. |
|
| Journal of Neurology,
Neurosurgery,
and Psychiatry |
A good source of peer-reviewed articles from this BMJ (British Journal
of Medicine) publication. Abstracts are free and relatively extensive,
but you need a subscription to get hold of the full text. Go to the search
section to access the articles. |
|
| The Lancet Neurology |
Offshoot of highly respected British Medical Publication. You have to register
and you get to see more if you belong to an institution
that subscribes. Some of the articles have free full texts. |
|
| Free Medical
Journals |
Portal site that lists all the free full text journals on the Web. Registration
means that you can get the latest neurology abstracts in a email alert. |
|
| Rockefeller
Medical Library Guide Introduction |
This site is large and is really designed to assist people browsing
hardcopy texts in the Rockefeller Medical Library at the UK Institute of
Neurology and The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (where
I am a patient). It includes links to online dictionaries and glossaries
and much more. |
|
| International Journal of MS Care |
Quarterly Journal. Very good source of articles about management of multiple sclerosis
symptoms. Full text available for both current and past issues. |
|
| Multiple Sclerosis

Dictionaries |
|
On-line
Medical Dictionary |
CancerWEB's On-line Medical Dictionary is a great resource
for simple medical term/condition look-ups and is not restricted to cancer
at all. Some terms are not in the dictionary but it is pretty good for
all that. This is the medical dictionary that I use. |
|
| Online
scientific and medical dictionaries |
Pick you own favorite Medical dictionary from Mark Brownlow's
huge list of links - some good, some ok, some with searches, some without
and some not available. |
|
| MEDICAL
DICTIONARIES |
Not as many dictionaries as above but it does have one or
two different ones and also a link to Mark Brownlow's page. |
|
| Directory of 840 online Medical/Health Glossaries |
A huge directory (840 to be precise) of medical dictionaries in different
languages with specific categories including a multiple sclerosis section. |
|
| MEDLINEplus:
Drug Information |
The usual very high quality information from the NIH - shame
it's not searchable - just a long list otherwise it'd be worth 5 stars. |
|
| RxList
- The Internet Drug Index |
Part of Health Central's online pharmacy. An extensive range of drugs
with monographs on each one plus patient information. A "fuzzy" search
engine means that you never get back just one drug which is great if you're
not entirely sure of the spelling but slightly irritating if you are. There's
a lot of great stuff here but it's tricky to get at it. |
|
| Yahoo! Health |
Another large database of drugs with full searching facilities. Easier
to use than RxList but the information on each drug, while extensive, is
not as comprehensive. |
|
| WebMD: Drugs and Supplements |
Very similar quality of information as Yahoo's offering above. |
|
|
Med Help International
- Medical Glossary |
A general medical glossary - rather terse explanations but a large
number of definitions. Internal cross-links. Not MS specific. |
|
|
University
of Cambridge Dictionary of Epidemiology |
More a glossary than a dictionary. Very good if terse explanations.
Good internal cross-links. Not MS specific. |
|
| English
dictionary of medical terms |
eneral dictionary of medical terms endorsed by the EU (Is that a
recommendation?). A large number of terms also available in 9 EU languages.
Searchable. No internal cross-links. Not MS specific. |
