New Healthcare Newsletters Database Now on DataStar™

A new health news database, News RX (DataStar label RXNS) was launched on DataStar this summer. This database is a valuable and unique addition to DataStar and complements and extends our existing healthcare news coverage.

RXNS contains approximately 20 healthcare newsletters, uniquely organized around therapeutic area, rather than industries, companies and products, as other newsletters tend to be. Articles are compiled from stories in quality newspapers, peer-reviewed journals, conference reports, news releases, and articles sourced from other health and medical organizations. Titles include: AIDS Weekly, Biotech Week, Cancer Weekly, Drug Week, Gene Therapy Weekly, Genomics & Genetics Weekly, Health & Medicine Week, Heart Disease Weekly, Hepatitis Weekly, Immunotherapy Weekly, Obesity, Fitness & Wellness Week, Pain & Central Nervous System Week, TB & Outbreaks Week, Vaccine Weekly, Women's Health Weekly and Medical Letter on the CDC & FDA.

NewsRX was founded 16 years ago and serves top professionals in over fifty
countries worldwide. The newsletters are used by healthcare providers, pharmaceutical and biotechology companies, universities, doctors and nurses, news services and research institutes.

RXNS provides answers to wide ranging questions such as:

• What are the latest developments in anaesthesia?
• What conditions are associated with copper deficiency?
• What can be done to reduce Hepatitis C transmission to neonates from infected mothers?
• What is the name of the newly identified hormone regulated gene?

The database has an archive back to 1997 and is updated weekly.

There are two types of articles -- those aimed at consumers and those aimed at healthcare professionals. You may narrow your search to a particular article type by using the article type (AT) paragraph:

1_: Professional.AT.

You can also focus your search by qualifying your search term to the descriptor (DE) paragraph:

2_: Diabetes.DE.
