PubMed's LinkOut display for links
to chemicals found in TOXNET's HSDB (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB)
has been updated. The links now
appear as specific chemical name/s, replacing the phrase "Hazardous Substance Data Bank from NLM".
LinkOut provides PubMed users with connections to web-accessible resources,
including full-text articles, consumer health information, and supplementary
data, related to a PubMed citation. These resources expand on the information in
the citation.
PubMed users have had access to information for over 3,000 Hazardous Substances
Data Bank (HSDB®) chemical substances via LinkOut since September 2003. HSDB is a
factual data file that focuses on the toxicology of potentially hazardous
chemicals. In addition to toxicity data, HSDB provides information in the areas
of emergency handling procedures, industrial hygiene, environmental fate, human
exposure, detection methods, and regulatory requirements.
How to use LinkOut to retrieve HSDB information:
- Click on the word "Links" to the right of each citation
- Then choose "LinkOut" from the menu that appears
- Look for the heading, "MOLECULAR BIOLOGY DATABASES"
- HSDB links, if present, will appear under the "TOXNET"
heading (now, with specific chemical
name/s)
