[Research fronts in medicine]

Citation mapping of communicating structures of science and derived indices of the most active research fronts make it possible to adopt and create factographic bases for operative management and prognosis of fundamental medical research. Information data bases and printed registers for systematic use of these materials can be processed according to published analyses of priority trends of science, using methods of aggregated quotations or using networks of descriptors. The referred investigations pertain to the problem of allergy, AIDS, biomedical engineering, hyperthermia, hypnosis, risk pregnancy, epidemiology, modelling, bacterial bioluminescence, prostaglandins, aberrant genes, theory of immune systems, monoclonal antibodies, cholesterol metabolism, immunogenetics and neurobiology, incl. association to the work of Nobel prize winners. The science atlases for biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology and molecular genetics, and in new series for pharmacology, biochemistry, immunology, clinical and neurological and psychological disciplines provides a new type of standardized prognostic surveys with identification of the foremost world science fronts.
