PubMed-EX
PubMed-EX is a really interesting Firefox Add-on or Greasemonkey Script.
PubMed-EX is a browser extension that marks up PubMed search results with additional information retrieved from IISR & IASL text-mining
services. PubMed-EX’s page mark-up includes section categorization, gene/disease name, and relation.
The mark-ups of PubMed-EX can help researchers quickly focus on key information in retrieved abstracts and can provide additional background information on key terms. Furthermore, our text-mining server carries out all text-mining processing, freeing up users’ resources.
Try this- it’s way cool.

We have tried out PubMed-EX with Firefox 3.05, and find it very slow. Is this a known problem, or just a local problem associated to our servers?
Best regards

Hi Karen-
I haven’t found it to be unreasonably slow. Your question would most likely receive a useful answer if put to the authors of the tool. Their contact info is found at the bottom of this page: http://iisr.cse.yzu.edu.tw:8000/PubMed-EX/publication.html
