INTRODUCTION TO ABRIDGED INDEX MEDICUS

The Abridged Index Medicus (AIM) is designed to afford rapid access to selected biomedical journal literature of immediate interest to the practicing physician.

Each issue contains citations from 118 English-language journals, representing a subset of one month’s input into the National Library of Medicine’s computer-based MEDLARS® (Medical Literature Anal- ysis and Retrieval System). The selection of the journals was made by the Library with guidance from a group of consultants consisting of physicians, medical editors, and medical librarians. Consideration was given to the quality of the journals, usefulness of journal content for the medical practitioner, and the need for providing coverage of all fields of clinical medicine. In some fields, where there are more high-quality journals than could be included in the bibliography, con- sideration was given to the availability of the journals to the American practitioner. In limiting the size of AJM it was necessary to omit many excellent publications. The list of journals indexed will be reviewed periodically and is subject to change. On those occasions when a physician’s interests require a scanning of the literature that is not contained in AJM, he may turn to the full Index Medicus® and to numerous other bibliographic sources.

Journal issues do not arrive at the National Library of Medicine with perfect regularity, nor is it possible to maintain a precise sched- ule for indexing. Therefore, a given month’s AJM may contain cita- tions to articles from more than one issue of a monthly journal, or a journal may not be covered in a given issue of AJM.

USING ABRIDGED INDEX MEDICUS

Subject Headings

Input to MEDLARS® begins with the indexing of journal articles. The content of each article is analyzed and described by a group of terms (subject headings) selected from Medical Subject Headings (MeSH® ), the National Library of Medicine’s authority list of tech- nical terms. The bibliographic citations in Abridged Index Medicus appear under those subject headings. An acquaintance with MeSH will help the user of AJM determine which specific headings to consult.

When articles are indexed, the most specific term available in MeSH is used. Thus, if an article is concerned with erythromycin, it would be indexed under that term, rather than the broader ANTIBIOTICS. Under the latter term, one would find only: (a) articles dealing with antibiotics generally, (b) those that deal in a very general way with a large number of named antibodies, or (c) those that deal with specific antibiotics which have not been separately listed in MeSH.

The physician who is interested in one concept may find that the broader term is also worth examining for articles of possible interest. Although one may be interested primarily in antifungal antibiotics, articles on the general subject of antifungal agents may be useful.

The physician who wants articles on some aspect of the use of anti- biotics in pediatric practice would certainly want not only general articles that would appear under ANTIBIOTICS, but also those concerned with specific antibiotics.

Monthly issues of Abridged Index Medicus are arranged in two sections: Subject Section and Author Section.

Subject Section

Each article cited in AJM will be found under several subject head- ings which represent the central concepts of the articles. The citation

appears in full under each subject heading. Each citation contains the following elements, in order: title of article; first author; journal title abbreviation; date of issue; volume number; issue, part or supplement; and inclusive pagination.

Example:

Hemophilia A: carrier detection and prenatal diagnosis by DNA analysis. Pecorara M, et al. Blood 1987 Aug; 70(2):531-5

The above citation appears under four subject headings:

DNA

HEMOPHILIA HETEROZYGOTE DETECTION PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS

In the citations, under each of the subject headings, only the first author’s name appears. For names of other authors, refer to the Author Section.

Journal titles are abbreviated; the full title may be found by reference to the abbreviation listing on the next page.

Author Section

References in the Author Section cite authors’ names; title of article; journal title abbreviations; date of issue; volume number; issue, part or supplement; and inclusive pagination.

Example: .

Mahir MS, Hynd JW, Flute PT, Dormandy JA. Effect of defibrino- genation on the early patency rate of experimental small calibre arterial grafts. Br J Surg 1987 Jun;74(6):508-10

An Author Section citation may provide the names of as many as ten authors of an article. If an article has eleven or more authors, this is indicated by‘‘et al’’ after the tenth author’s name. The complete citation is printed only under the first author’s name; the second through the tenth authors’ names are cross-referenced to the full citation under the first author’s name, thus:

Kersey, JH, Weisdorf D, Nesbit ME, LeBien TW, Woods WG, McGlave PB, Kim T. Vallera DA, Goldman Al, Bostrom B, et al. Comparison of autologous and allogeneic bone marrow transplan- tation for treatment of high-risk refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia. N Engi J Med 1987 Aug 20;317(8):461-7

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE PUBLISHED SEARCHES

The Reference Section of the National Library of Medicine produces two bibliographic series of publications which result primarily from a search of the literature contained in a variety of online databases. NLM databases utilized include MEDLINE, AIDSLINE, BIOETHICSLINE, CATLINE, HEALTH PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION, and TOXLINE, among others. AIDS Bibliography (AIDS) and Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM) are both sub- scription items available from the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO).

AIDS Bibliography (AID90)

AIDS Bibliography (1990) is a monthly listing of recent references to journai articles, books, and audiovisual materials. AIDS is available on either a subscription $48 ($60 foreign) or an individual title $4 ($5 foreign) basis from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. GPO Phone Orders: 202-783- 3238.

Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM90)

Each bibliography in the Current Bibliographies in Medicine (1990) series covers a distinct subject area of interest to biomedicine and is intended to fulfill a current awareness function. Approximately 20 bibliographies are produced per year. Included as part of this series are all bibliographies prepared in support of National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conferences (indicated by an asterisk on the list below). In 1989, this series absorbed another NLM title, the Specialized Bibliography Series. CBM is available on either a subscrip- tion $52 ($65 foreign) or an individual title $3 ($3.75 foreign) basis from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. GPO Phone Orders: 202-783-3238. CBM No. Title 90-11* Diagnosis and management of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism. January 1986 through September 1990. 1057 citations.
