Go to internet resources beginning with the letter:

• AEGIS, the AIDS Education Global Information Service - Includes Information drawn from AIDSLINE from NLM, as well as newsletters, wire service reports, legal information, reports from NIH and CDC, and clinical trials information.
• AIDS Patents Project at CNIDR (Center for Networked Information Discovery and Retrieval) - Provides access to the full text and images of international patents relating to Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
• Antiretroviral Drug Database (HIV InSite) - See The HIV InSite Drug Database.
• BITMed Laboratory for Biological Informatics & Medicine, UCSD - This server is unique in that the WWW hypertext is inter leafed with true complex systems simulations of biological, chemical and physical systems. Several virtual environments are presently being built for the rational design of clinical trials and wetlab experiments.
• CancerNet
• Center for Bioethics - The University of Pennsylvania Center for Bioethics has compiled links to sites dealing with a number of ethical issues.
• Combined Health Information Database - A database produced by health related agencies of the federal government, covering health information and health education resources.
• CRISP (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) - A major biomedical database containing information from 1972 to date on research ventures supported by the U.S. Public Health Services. You may search this full-text database by project title, principal investigator's abstract, principal investigator, grant-receiving institution and CRISP thesaurus.
• Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database Access (FREIDA) System - FREIDA is a database containing information on approximately 7,400 graduate medical education programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and 200 combined specialty programs.
• The Genome Database - Stores and curates genomic mapping data submitted by researchers worldwide and provides this information electronically to the scientific community.
• Health Services/Technology Assessment Text (HSTAT) - Contains several searchable full text information sources including: AHCPR Supported Guidelines, ATIS (HIV/AIDS Technical Information), NIH Warren G. Magnuson Clinical, Research Studies, NIH Consensus Development Program, PHS Guide to Clinical Preventive Services (1989), SAMHSA/CSAT Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP).
• The HIV InSite Drug Database - This site serves as a convenient source for information on medications commonly used in managing HIV. The database includes FDA approved drugs and those in advanced stages of development. Information is updated monthly and includes indications and regimens, formulations, interactions, toxicities, and pharmacokinetics.
• HPV Sequence Database - The Human Papillomaviruses Database collects, curates, analyzes, and publishes genetic sequences of papillomaviruses and related cullular proteins. It also includes the annual compendium of papillomavirus information called Human Papillomaviruses: A Compilation and Analysis of Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequences.
• National Center for Biotechnology Information - Includes:
• GenBank
• NCBI Newsletter
• Gene Map of the Human Genome
• Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
• Database of Expressed Sequence Tags
• UniGene: Unique Human Gene
• Sequence Collection
• Molecular Modelling Database
• Human/Mouse Homology Maps, Entrez Search System
• BLAST Sequence Similarity Searching, etc.
• National Institutes of Health Guide to Grants and Contracts
• PharmInfoNet - Pharmaceutical Information Network. Includes extensive drug data, research material, medical meetings, searchable databases, and discussion groups. The site is geared to both professionals and patients and provides links to sites produced by pharmaceutical companies, associations, and government agencies. Also included are links to pages dealing with the drug treatment of particular diseases including cancer, cardiovascular disorders, and diabetes. The site is updated regularly.
• PubMed - Free access to the National Library of Medicine's database of the biomedical journal literature, MEDLINE. Pubmed has the capability to use one article as a "seed" to find other similar articles.
• RxList - The Internet Drug Index - Provides extensive information on U.S. prescription drugs including use, contraindications, side effects, toxicity, dosing and warnings. Also available from the site are a list of the 200 most commonly prescribed drugs for 1996 and a database which allows drugs to be identified and searched by their tablet or capsule imprint codes.
