Medline® Information

What is Medline®?

Medline® is a database of the US National Library of Medicine. It indexes more than 4000 medical journals published from many countries from 1966 onwards. By using a powerful searching tool it finds references (many with abstracts) to published research and articles written about a disease, condition, treatment, etc. Medline® is used extensively by health professionals who do literature searches for research, etc. Medline® may be helpful for a patient looking up a condition or treatment, but the language used may be rather technical for non-medical people.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
