Amedeo
Amedeo is a web-based, weekly guide to the medical literature.
Free of charge to the user, the service is supported by various
unrestricted educational grants from industry. The publisher is a
former HIV doctor, Bernd Sebastian
Kamps and Amedeo has over 100,000 subscribers.
On the index page you select a
topic. For chlamydial health carers the topics
Sexually
transmitted Diseases or Infectious Diseases are obvious choices, but there are plenty
of others. Within these topics you define your favourite journals
and complete a simple form. As you would expect, there is some
overlap in the journals under each topic, so make sure you avoid
this when you choose them. You then receive a weekly email giving a
link to your own personal Amedeo web page where you find hyperlinked
abstracts of articles in your chosen journals. See
example of weekly abstracts for the topic of hypertension
(choose abstract format).
This group also produce an excellent free HIV medicine textbook.
