Summary
PubMed offers free access to over 23 million biomedical literature records from MEDLINE and other databases. Refining searches with field tags enhances efficiency and reduces irrelevant results for better information retrieval.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Informatics
- Medical Literature Databases
Background:
- PubMed is a primary resource for accessing biomedical literature.
- It contains over 23 million records, with over 19 million from MEDLINE.
- PubMed also links to other resources like the NCBI Bookshelf.
Purpose of the Study:
- To guide users on effectively searching the PubMed database.
- To explain search result organization and retrieval methods.
- To differentiate between PubMed and PubMed Central (PMC) content.
Main Methods:
- Basic keyword searching in the main search box.
- Utilizing field tags to specify search parameters.
- Reviewing search results displayed in summary format.
Main Results:
- Non-specific searches yield numerous results, impacting efficiency.
- Field tags allow for more targeted and time-saving searches.
- Default search results are sorted by date and displayed in a summary format.
Conclusions:
- Effective searching in PubMed requires clarifying key concepts and utilizing field tags.
- PubMed provides access to records, while PubMed Central offers free full-text articles.
- Understanding PubMed's search functionalities improves literature retrieval.

01:28Preclinical Development: Overview
4.8K
Preclinical development consists of a series of tests that ensure the safety and efficacy of a new therapeutic compound before it is tested in humans. There are four main phases to this process. First, safety pharmacology tests are conducted to ensure the drug does not produce any acutely harmful effects. These tests examine parameters such as bronchoconstriction, cardiac dysrhythmias, blood pressure changes, and ataxia. Next, preliminary toxicological testing is performed to determine the...

Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...

01:11Clinical Trials: Overview
4.7K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

29.1K
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

Combining two or more treatment methods increases the life span of cancer patients while reducing damage to vital organs or tissue from the overuse of a single treatment. Combination therapy also targets different cancer-inducing pathways, thus reducing the chances of developing resistance to treatment.
The combination of the drug acetazolamide and sulforaphane is a good example of combination therapy to treat cancer. The cells in the interior of a large tumor often die due to the hypoxic and...
