MEDLARS. The U.S. National Library of Medicine s (NLM) Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System contains over 30 bibliographic databases covering medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacology, toxicology, cancer, veterinary medicine, and allied health professions (37). The MEDLARS electronic storage and retrieval system was established at NLM to provide bibliographic access to NLM s biomedical literature collection. 

Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System), for example, could do the search. The list could be quickly updated as needed. 

In addition to the publications dealing with ingredients, there are also publications dealing with nomenclature (e.g., United States Approved Name (USAN) and USP Dictionary of Drug Names), information indexing (e.g., Index Medicus, National Library of Medicine), and information retrieval (e.g., computer-based Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System MEDLARS and MEDLINE, National Library of Medicine).

MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) A bibliographic database administered by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) that contains over 16 million references to journal articles in life sciences and medicine. Cover e extends to more than 5000 journals, with particular emphasis on US journals, and over half a million new records are added annually. The articles are indexed using the NLM s Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) thesaurus, which permits searching using both alphabetical and hierarchical approaches. MEDLINE is the major component of the NLM s PubMed database and can be accessed via Entrez. 

Other databases supplied by NLM are the Hazardous Substance Data Base (HSDB), the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS), and the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS). NLM also supplies other specialized databases called CANCERLIT, DART, GENETOX, IRIS, CCRIS, and CHEMID. 

Medhne MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) is a bibhographic database. It contains more than 16 million references to journal articles starting from 1949 till present. All the records in MEDLINE are indexed with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). MEDLINE is a part of PubMed and covers the subjects of biomedicine and health, chemical sciences, bioengineering, etc. MEDLINE is the primary component of PubMed (http //pubmed.gov) a link to PubMed is found on the National Library of Medicine (NLM) home page at http // www.nlm.nih.gov. The result of a MEDLINE/PubMed search is a list of citations (including authors, tide, source, and often an abstract) to journal articles and an indication of free electronic full-text availability. 

MEDLARS stands for Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System. It was set up by the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) and became fully operational in January 1964. The indexing and searching operations have now been decentralised (see below for a list of National MEDLARS Centres), but central processing is still controlled by NLM. 

Sources of information that can be accessed for evaluating products include the Hazardous Substances Data Base, which contains a summary of the fate of the substance in the environment and can be accessed via MEDLARS (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) [a.405], the EPA AQUIRE (Environmental Protection Agency-Aquatic Life) data base, which contains a listing of aquatic toxicity data for many industrial chemicals [a.406], Syracuse University s data base of fate studies [a.407], and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) such as the EPA programme ECOSAR (Ecological...
