MEDLINEplus Adds Medical Encyclopedia
"adam.com" Brings Consumers Thousands of Articles
NLM has released a major enhancement to its Web-based consumer
health resources, MEDLINEplus (medlineplus.gov). In addition to
its nearly 400 medical topics pages, MEDLINEplus now includes
over 4,000 articles from the adam.com medical encyclopedia. This
encyclopedia brings consumers an extensive library of medical
images, as well as thousands of articles about diseases, tests,
symptoms, injuries and surgeries.
You can browse the encyclopedia by selecting "Medical
Encyclopedia" from the left navigation bar of any MEDLINEplus
page. You may also search the encyclopedia by selecting "Search
MEDLINEplus" from the left column, typing in your search
term(s), and selecting the option "Basic with Medical Encyclopedia"
before pressing the "Go" Button.
"Consumers and physicians alike look to the NLM as the preeminent
authority for medical information," said Robert S. Cramer, Jr.,
adam.com's Chairman and CEO. "Our partnership with the NLM further
validates the quality, reliability and depth of our own health and
medical content. We look forward to working with the NLM as millions
of Americans turn to our combined content and services to keep them
happy, healthy and
informed." |
