SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS Your Partner in Research and Manufacturing WELCOME to MEDLINE Founded in 1966, Medline’S Roots Date Back to 1910 When A.L SCIENTIFIC PRODUCTS Your Partner in Research and Manufacturing WELCOME TO MEDLINE Founded in 1966, Medline’s roots date back to 1910 when A.L. Mills, the great-grandfather of the current CEO and President, started sewing butcher’s aprons in Chicago. He was soon approached by nuns from a nearby hospital and offered to help them make surgeon gowns and uniforms. Since then, Medline has grown into the largest privately held manufacturer and distributor of health care supplies in the United States. Headquartered in Mundelein, IL, the company continues expanding its product line and reach. Today, Medline provides more than 350,000 different products to life science and research institutions, pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers, healthcare providers, animal health markets, career colleges, retail outlets and contract OEM partners. While Medline has produced hundreds of catalogs in our history, we’re pleased to introduce our first catalog specifically for the life science and pharmaceutical communities, with a focus on research, laboratory and manufacturing activities. However, we’re not “just” a catalog company. Our nationwide team of specially trained representatives stands ready to call on your facility and help you with whatever supply needs you have.

  • Biomedical Text Mining: a Survey of Recent Progress
    Chapter 14 BIOMEDICAL TEXT MINING: A SURVEY OF RECENT PROGRESS Matthew S. Simpson Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Dina Demner-Fushman Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Abstract The biomedical community makes extensive use of text mining tech- nology. In the past several years, enormous progress has been made in developing tools and methods, and the community has been witness to some exciting developments. Although the state of the community is regularly reviewed, the sheer volume of work related to biomedical text mining and the rapid pace in which progress continues to be made make this a worthwhile, if not necessary, endeavor. This chapter pro- vides a brief overview of the current state of text mining in the biomed- ical domain. Emphasis is placed on the resources and tools available to biomedical researchers and practitioners, as well as the major text mining tasks of interest to the community. These tasks include the recognition of explicit facts from biomedical literature, the discovery of previously unknown or implicit facts, document summarization, and question answering. For each topic, its basic challenges and methods are outlined and recent and influential work is reviewed.

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

  • 1 Application of Text Mining to Biomedical Knowledge Extraction: Analyzing Clinical Narratives and Medical Literature
    Amy Neustein, S. Sagar Imambi, Mário Rodrigues, António Teixeira and Liliana Ferreira 1 Application of text mining to biomedical knowledge extraction: analyzing clinical narratives and medical literature Abstract: One of the tools that can aid researchers and clinicians in coping with the surfeit of biomedical information is text mining. In this chapter, we explore how text mining is used to perform biomedical knowledge extraction. By describing its main phases, we show how text mining can be used to obtain relevant information from vast online databases of health science literature and patients’ electronic health records. In so doing, we describe the workings of the four phases of biomedical knowledge extraction using text mining (text gathering, text preprocessing, text analysis, and presentation) entailed in retrieval of the sought information with a high accuracy rate. The chapter also includes an in depth analysis of the differences between clinical text found in electronic health records and biomedical text found in online journals, books, and conference papers, as well as a presentation of various text mining tools that have been developed in both university and commercial settings. 1.1 Introduction The corpus of biomedical information is growing very rapidly. New and useful results appear every day in research publications, from journal articles to book chapters to workshop and conference proceedings. Many of these publications are available online through journal citation databases such as Medline – a subset of the PubMed interface that enables access to Medline publications – which is among the largest and most well-known online databases for indexing profes- sional literature. Such databases and their associated search engines contain important research work in the biological and medical domain, including recent findings pertaining to diseases, symptoms, and medications.
