GFULMED on LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU - Grateful Med Discussion

        GFULMED is an open, unmoderated discussion list concerning
        all aspects of the Grateful Med PC software.  Grateful Med
        is produced by the National Library of Medicine to make it
        easier to search medical databases, including MEDLINE.
        Using this software you can search for medical information
        against all the major medical journals.  There are also
        databases you can search for information on various drugs,
        toxic substances, AIDS Research, and so on.  You can search
        by any search string you want, including standard medical
        terms, use boolean operators in your search commands, and
        you can limit your search to specific years or even months.

        The GFULMED mailing list is for discussing issues related to
        this software.  It is not for requesting searches or for
        getting medical advice.  If you have a need for medical
        information, please contact your physician or your local
        library.  Some communities also operate a public health
        library.

        Archives of GFULMED mail items are kept in monthly files.
        The list is also available in a digest format; the digestified
        mail is sent out once a week.

        You may obtain a list of files in the archives by sending
        the command in the BODY of e-mail to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU:

        INDEX GFULMED

        To subscribe, send the following command in the BODY of mail
        to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU:

        SUB GFULMED yourfirstname yourlastname

        For example:

        SUB GFULMED Doctor Who

        To set your subscription to digest mode, send the following
        command in the BODY of e-mail to LISTSERV@VM1.NODAK.EDU:

NEUROCASE - CALL FOR PAPERS

If you have tried to publish a case study recently, you may have found 
that
many of the major journals have begun to discourage such reports, as
individual results are seen as offering limited information.  When
looked at in conjunction with other single case studies though, it is
possible to draw vital conclusions from the information gathered.

These are some of the reasons why Neurocase is being launched in April 
1995
by Oxford University Press.  Neurocase will publish high quality
original case studies, as well as carefully vetted replication
studies.  These will be entered, together with data from case studies
published elsewhere, into an accumulative CD-ROM database which will
be issued with the journal.  By publishing in this way, information from
these reports will become an accessible and manageable body of 
knowledge.

By publishing in Neurocase you will reach a huge audience right from the
start - throughout 1995 we will be sending Neurocase free of charge to
the thousands of institutions worldwide which subscribe to Brain.

If you would like to submit a paper, please send 4 copies to:  Editorial
Office, Neurocase, University Department of Neurology, Addenbrooke's
Hospital, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QQ, UK.  Tel: +44 (0) 1223 217837
Fax: +44 (0) 1223 336951  E-mail: jrh24@phx.cam.ac.uk

If you would like to receive a free sample copy on publication,
instructions for authors, or an order form, please write to Journals
Marketing Department (IP95), Oxford University Press, Walton Street,
