Acubriefs Newsletter Volume 4 Issue 10

October - November - December 2003

Dear Acubriefs Readers:

We have some wonderful news to announce. The Medical Acupuncture Research Foundation (MARF) gave us a grant that allows Acubriefs to continue and expand services. Our corporate sponsors also continue to generously support the site. If you visit www.acubriefs.com you are going to recognize several improvements. We will soon have an online acupuncture manual that will facilitate the review of the literature. Now, if someone cites a certain acupuncture point and you are not familiar with it, you can quickly review its location and characteristics. What's more, if you are keeping up with technological improvements, you will soon be able to visit www.acubriefs.com with your PDA and have the screen appropriately formatted.

Besides these entirely free improvements, we are offering affordable translation services. Please see our Translations page for more information.

We are instituting "Personal Librarian" support. Our staff can search our in-house database (with the same references as our on-line version) for you using software that permits more sophisticated search terms and limits. We can generate reference lists in several formats and obtain full text articles from hard-to-find and out-of-print journals. We will also be offering a quarterly mailing service of current citations in clinical specialties. See our Librarian page for details, or you may email librarian@acubriefs.com.

Rather than providing reviews of pertinent studies as they come up on a monthly basis (I just can't keep up with it!), I'm hoping to have reviews of special topics on a quarterly basis. Would you like to help out? Is there a particular topic in which you have special expertise? For instance, Margolin [1] did an excellent review on addictive disorders. If we could come close to the quality of this review, there would be significant clinical and research impacts.

We will no longer be sending out monthly e-mail newsletters. I suspect we are all getting a little overwhelmed by the quantity of e-mails we receive. At www.acubriefs.com there will now be a separate section to review references recently added to our database. Of course you can visit Acubriefs at anytime.

Finally, I want to alert all readers of an online resource, Acupuncture: Review and analysis of reports on controlled clinical trials [2] that reviewed clinical trials on acupuncture, as they are pertinent to specific diagnoses or conditions. Compared to the Cochrane collaborative, which bases recommendations on pre-ordained criteria, this publication by the World Health Organization takes a more balanced approach by recognizing the importance of contextual issues. It also contains data on Chinese studies not readily available elsewhere. It's a jewel in my opinion.

The theme topic of this newsletter is developments in auricular acupuncture research. I've picked three pertinent recent publications to review. I hope you find them of interest. I've also done a quick review of an article that returns us to the issue of the need for clear and precise definitions in acupuncture research.

New references entered into Acubriefs database this month: 348

This month, Acubriefs has indexed 68 current research projects from the NIH's CRISP (Computer Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects), a searchable database of U.S. federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other research institutions. Abstracts are listed, but they don't have individual URL addresses, so we have provided a link to the CRISP Query page, where you may search for them by using "acupuncture" as a keyword, or by Author name.
