hi all

i've been taking a 'barometer reading' at PubMed
almost monthly for the past four years or so,
based on citations entered into their system
during the previous 30 days
which reference 'parkinson'

not very sophisticated, granted,
but to my eyes, a valuable 'snapshot' on the current state
of published parkinson's disease research in particular
and of online access to published medical info in general

(not to mention the amazing resource
of 11 million citations which is PubMed!)

i will be posting some of the more interesting [to me at least]
medical abstracts directly to this group over the next week

the four lines of each entry below comprise:
1. a brief description of the subject of the published article;
2. the name of the medical journal i.e the publisher of the article;
3. the name of the author(s)  of the article; and
4. the PubMed IDentification number (PMID)

to look at any of the citations below at PubMed yourself,
enter the PMID: number in the search window at:
<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/">
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/
</a>

btw
my 'barometer readings' have ranged
from 30's and 40's a couple of years ago
to a record high of 277 (!) last month !
