Friends With all we've said recently about journal reading and subscribing I thought you might be interested in the sites I visit regularly. Several on-line journals now have alert features including receiving a complete table of contents direct to your email address. There is a wealth of information that is easy to access. Some are only electronic forms of journal articles but many of them contain the complete articles from the print journals. I have listed some of my favorite sites below Marie Davis ************* Doctor's guide to Medical Journals http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/medjournals.htm JAMA http://www.ama-assn.org/public/journals/jama/jamahome.htm American Academy of Pediatrics http://www.aap.org Nursing Journals http://www.nursingcenter.com/journals/page1.cfm Mosby ( lots of the nursing journals) http://www.mosby.com/ New England Journal of Medicine http://www.nejm.org/ Lancet http://www.thelancet.com/ Pediatrics and Children's Health http://www.lib.uiowa.edu/hardin/md/ped.html Pediatric Points of interest http://www.med.jhu.edu/peds/neonatology/link.html The British Medical Journal's new web site is http://www.bmj.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The topics below are from this week's eBMJ, ----------- Parents involved in research welcome hearing the results http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/0/c -------- Consideration of short term consequences of heavier babies is important Michael Geary BMJ 1998;317 81 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/81/a -------------------- Getting evidence into practice Fiona Godlee BMJ 1998;317 6 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/6 ----------- Looking forward: Getting research findings into practice: Making better use of research findings Andrew Haines and Anna Donald BMJ 1998;317 72-75 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/72 ----------- Prescribing patient information leaflets may be better than prescribing drugs T Kenny, R Wilson, and I N Purves BMJ 1998;317 80 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/80/b -------------- Elective caesarean and zidovudine cuts HIV transmission http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/11 ----------- Streptoccocus infection linked with Tourette's syndrome http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/12/b ------------- Epidural denied to woman on welfare http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/12/c ------------- Efficacy of home sampling for screening of Chlamydia trachomatis: randomised study Lars Ostergaard, Berit Andersen, Frede Olesen, and Jens K Moller BMJ 1998;317 26-27 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/26 ------------- Genetic counselling must be non-directive Robert Aston BMJ 1998;317 82 http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/317/7150/82
