Chylothorax in a Neonate

View my collection, "Chylothorax" from NCBI

PubMed Tip: If you would like to search for a term like 'Chylothorax' but you do not want to view citations about 'congenital chylothorax' you may enter your search as 'Chylothorax NOT congenital'. Adding the Boolean term NOT will help elimnate unwanted terms in a search. Make sure to capitalize all the letters in NOT as PubMed recognizes AND, OR and NOT as Boolean search terms otherwise they may be eliminated as stop word in a search string.

JAMA Users' Guides to the Medical Literature

Today was a breakfast from the usual morning report process. Therefore, without a morning report presentation to post, I would like to share with you a different resource that can be found in JAMA: the journal of the American Medical Association. I learned about this series from Dr. Kristine Campbell. The resource is a series of brief articles that have been titled 'Users' Guides to the Medical Literature'. These users' guides were developed to provide tools for clinicians to search for and evaluate the medical literature to solve real patient problems. If you would like to learn more you may start with the editorial on the Users' Guides to the Medical Literature. Intermountain has full-text online access to JAMA from 1998 to the present. Currently there is not remote access for Intermountain, however the Eccles Health Sciences Library at the University of Utah does have remote access.

Once you view the collection below in PubMed you may order the articles by title to view them in the order they were published.

Pubmed Search Tip

I know, I know there has not been a search tip for awhile. I will share a new one I just learned from my assistant Michelle. Related Articles link, you can love and hate it. First you find the perfect article on your topic and you want more just like it. You click on the Related Articles link and you get 463, but wait, you were searching for pain tolerance in Down's Syndrome, and you find a related article on the list titled, Effect of oxytocin on acupuncture analgesia in the rat. But you have been told you cannot place limits on related article lists. But wait! You can! Here are the steps on how to do just that.
Step 1. Find the perfect article.
Step 2. Click on the Related Article link to the right of the citation.
Step 3. Click on Advanced Search at the top of the page.
Step 4. Click on the number in your search history that shows your Related Article search, when a drop down menu shows up click on AND, the number should appear in the search box.
Step 5. Set your limits while you are on the Avanced Search page and click Search.
Step 6. View your limited Related Article list!
If you would like a demonstration of this please come in or call a librarian at Primary Children's Medical Library and we will be happy to show you.

Each citation in PubMed is assigned a unique PMID # and you can pull up the citation again in PubMed by using only this number in the search box.

PubMed search tip: If you want to find an article in PubMed but don't have the full citation or a librarian handy. Use the link in the left hand navigation called "Single Citation Matcher". You can put in only the page number if you have it, or the year and words in the title. Trust me, sometimes it is magic.

Non-ketotic Hypoglycemia

Case Report: Hypoglycemic Coma in a Young Girl, Kuwait Medical Journal 2005

View my collection, "Non-ketonic Hypoglycemia" from NCBI

PubMed search tip: If you use the "Details" tab after preforming a keyword search you will be shown how PubMed translated your search using automatic term mapping and search rules. For example, if you search the morning report topic "Non-ketotic Hypoglycemia" you will see this result when you view the details page,

non-ketotic[All Fields] AND ("hypoglycaemia"[All Fields] OR "hypoglycemia"[MeSH Terms] OR "hypoglycemia"[All Fields])

You will then have an idea what is a Medical Subject Heading and what is not. This may help you narrow your search or understand why you retrieved the resulting list of citations.

Anemia

View my collection, "Anemia" from NCBI

NOTE: If you open the citation list to Abstract view you will then have full-text icons for most of the articles in the collection within Primary Children's network. Outside of Primary Children's computer network you will need to have an individual subscription to access the full-text articles.

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.

Myocarditis

View my collection, "Myocarditis" from NCBI

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.

MSSA Bacteremia and Staph Scalded Skin Syndrome

PubMed search tip: Getting full-text articles can be frustrating. If you are using an Intermountain computer to search PubMed (a few in Primary Children's are on the U of U network) , and you look at the citation results in abstract format you may see an icon that is blue-green with yellow words "Online Full-text". This icon indicates we have an electronic subscription to access that particular journal. Click it to get the full-text.

If you see the blue icon with "Primary Children's Medical Center Print Collection" the article is available from the library and you may make a copy or request that one be sent to your email as a PDF.

View my collection, "Late-onset Group B Strep. (GBS)" from NCBI

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.
