PubViz (3rd-party PubMed/MEDLINE Tool Prototype)
From the Microarray Lab, Department of Psychiatry / Molecular and Behavioral Neuroscience Institute at the University of Michigan comes PubViz, a powerfull, flexible prototype interface (built in Flash!) for MEDLINE information retrieval.
In short, PubViz is developed to provide the capability of utilizing external knowledge as well as interactive visual query functions for more efficient exploration of the Medline database. The current version has the ability to utilize protein-protein interaction data during Medline search and enable researchers to identify functionally related Medline records not retrievable in existing search engines. It can also utilize the structure relationship of different type of genetic markers including cytobands, microsatellite/STS markers, SNPs and genes derived from human genome assembly and HapMap data for deep search of genetically related Medline records. We include many visualization functions in PubViz, such as interactive PMID, MeSH, Gene views, the transition between different views, selection of node description display on network graph, as well as details of abstract and sorting/filtering functions. The combination of these novel capabilities will make PubViz a powerful tool for Medline exploration.
The site notes that PubViz currently searches only the sample corpus, but that they “plan to release full Medline search engine on 8/1/2007.”

[...] While the previous tool searches inside the abstracts, Relemed searches Medline scoring the articles for their relevance. I’m only interested to have a sufficient information about the most useful search tools, at least one or two of them and to become acquainted in their use. I think one’s interest will go parallel to one’s necessities. I listed some of the 3rd-party search tools in my portals link here in myhome page to have rapid access to them. Then a post at the David Rothman’s blog appeared to report a long list of these tools. This is why I think it is useful to follow one of the medical librarian blogs; it is the best way to get this information easily and rapidly. They tell you everything about the new tools that appear and sometimes some of their characteristics and how to use them. A medical librarian was saying somewhere in their post that the researchers in their institution do not even know that the new link that appear on their desktops comes from the library. I really guess about the extent of relationship between a medical librarian and their hospital or university physicians and researchers; how much the physicians can depend on the librarians and when can they require their help.
