Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis in Children: Another Reason to Treat Iron Deficiency Anemia
Susan L. Benedict, MD, et. al.
(This article is available full-text only within Primary Children's computer network).

As mentioned today in morning report, Oski is the leader in pediatric anemia and nutrition research. I have included his latest article cited in PubMed on the subject even though it is dated 1993.

PubMed search tip: Search "Anemia" in the MeSH (Medical Subject Headings) Database. When you look at the top result, "Anemia", you will see that below the term there are many different sub-categories. If you do not want your results to pull from all of the different types of anemia then you can use the "Do Not Explode this term" box. Once "Anemia" and "Do Not Explode this term" are selected in the MeSH Database click the "Send to" drop down menu and select "search box with and". You may then search PubMed by clicking the link under the search box or add more search terms from the MeSH database.

PubMed Search Tip: Using the term "Pediatrics" in your search will not narrow your search to the pediatric population, but will limit it to the practice of pediatrics in medicine. If you would like to limit your search to the pediatric population, use the "Limits" tab right below the search box. On the "Limits" page you may select various age ranges for your search.

This icon indicates we have an electronic subscription to access that particular journal. Click it to get the full-text.

Searching for Late-onset Group B Streptococcal Infections is a bit tricky in PubMed. The best term for searching is the medical subject heading (MeSH), "Streptococcal Infections"[Mesh]. Group B is not a MeSH term, but you may combine the terms as shown below to retrieve search results with a concentrate of GBS.

"Streptococcal Infections"[Mesh] AND "group b"
"Streptococcal Infections"[Mesh] AND group b[tw]


PubMed search tip: if you add [tw] to the end of a string of terms it will be searched as a phrase.
