Here's a forwarded message - thought ihp-netter's might be interested.
______________________________________________________________
Hi There!
I am re-advertising this mailing list in the hope that it will start
being used for meaningful purposes. If nothing happens about its
usage I am going to have to close it down as it looks like people have
access to similar lists elsewhere. I am running the list as I want to
help out people in poor countries, and this something I can
practically do from home in New Zealand.
It is part of a christian missions site, but as I am a Christian
(hence my motivation to do this) and World Vision (some members) and
others use this site, it is there.
To join send a message to hub@XC.org with nothing in the subject and
the following body:
subscribe brigada-medicine-for-poor
END
Here is an excerpt from the subscibe message (including help details):
This conference is a discussion on helping medically in poor
countries. Christians and non-Christians are welcome. The intent is
to foster discussion about projects that could provide or assist in
providing effective help to poor people, and to provide a place where
people can get together and find others who could help them in this
area. A lot of the discussion could be of a technical nature, as the
founder of this group is interested in fostering discussion of how the
Internet and Computers can be used to help in 3rd World medical
situations. If there is a lot of traffic, separate groups will be
formed.
You can get a directory of archived items with the
"filelist" command, then retrieve the ones you want with the
"get" command. For information about how these and other
commands function, send an email message to hub@xc.org with
the following (two) lines in the body of the message
(subject ignored):
subscribe brigada
get brigada help-detailed
This is an open conference, meaning that anyone can join.
For information about the purpose or nature of the
conference, email Matthew Grant at grantma@ritz.southern.co.nz.
Note: If you have questions about Brigada in general,
please write to BrigadaCoord@xc.org. We hope God will use
this service as a tool to help you stay better informed on
current mission and 2nd/3rd World medical assistance issues.

Saw an announcement yesterday for the Physician's Home Page, a new medical site for physicians only. The URL is http://www.silverplatter.com/physicians This is a subscription service for physicians, which costs $19.95 per month, $9.95 for residents. Among the services is UNLIMITED access to full Medline. That's right, flat-rate Medline for $240/yr. They have a free demo area where you can look at the search engine - seems to start out with textwords, which I'm not sure is the best, but seems adequate for people without access to a library. What concerns me is why they want to restrict it to physicians. I've seen a couple sites like this now. Unless the whole site is sponsored by a drug company as a way to advertise (which it clearly is not in this case or it would be free), why restrict this? I can see not letting libraries have it, but why not nurse practitioners, dentists, students, health departments, etc? Anyway. Check it out!

There is a web site for clinical trials which is not yet very complete -- they aim to list all they can find -- but which offers lots of background information on trials. I find it quite useful for information such as that requested here earlier today: how can you explain the differences in the various phases of clinical trials to the uninitiated?
Point your web browser at the "Center Watch Clinical Trials Listing Service", at the following URL:
Among other things, they offer information on the centers conducting trials and on the recent discoveries of clinical trials. It's worth taking a look at this site. .....................................................................
