  • Many of the listings also have short summaries of the article (abstracts)
  • Sometimes you will find a link to the full text of the article

Please note that most of the articles you will find listed in MEDLINE are written for health professionals. Articles are for educational use only and are not intended to replace advice from a health professional.
