Additional Databases
These databases are useful for specific syndromes being discussed in your papers. Note the syndromes listed below each resource; if your topic is not in the list, the database may not be as helpful.
Contains more than 34 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature, but it does not always include full text journal articles. Copy/paste article titles into library search to see if we have access, or install LibKey Nomad on your internet browser to download directly from PubMed.
Some syndromes may have variations in spelling, like "shenjing shuairo" and "shenjing shuairuo." Try using the variants in different searches, or add the spelling variants to your search box by using "or" to connect the phrases, like "amok" OR "amuk" OR "ngamuk".
Depending on the syndrome, sometimes the location is helpful, and sometimes it limits what you will find. Try searching both ways to evaluate the results.
