Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A Dehydrogenase Deficiency : A Bibliography and Dictionary for Physicians, Patients, and Genome Researchers [to Internet References]

In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading." Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with Long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to conduct medical research using the most advanced tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.
