hi all a couple of years ago i discovered the goldmine which is pubmed a source of over 9,000,000 published medical studies/abstracts if i did a general search way back when for "parkinson"-related abstracts added in the prior "30 days", i usually found 30 - 40 - 50 abstracts yesterday i found 143 this is not a one-shot deal it is part of a trend which has been getting 'worse' each month over the next little while i will post a few of those abstracts which caught my eye for my usual reasons: 1. in order to share them with you and 2. in order to get them into our archives eventually, and gradually, i plan on posting the ones i find most interesting [and which may pertain to recent cyber-"threads"] in the "medical abstracts" section of the "my PIEnet words" section of my web site "a new voice" in the meantime keep your eyeballs peeled JAnet of PIEnet ------------------------------------------------------------ janet paterson 52 now 41 dx 37 onset [log in to unmask] 613-256-8340 PO Box 171 Almonte Ontario K0A 1A0 Canada a new voice <http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Village/6263/> ------------------------------------------------------------
