Opening the EndNote File
References at the end of each chapter of the book are in an EndNote file. To view the file you
will need the EndNote software. Many of the references are linked to the PubMed database
through this software. The link allows the reader to view the abstract of the reference. To
activate the link you will need to bring the file into the EndNote software. You may purchase the
software, or as of 7/31/02, you may download a 30 day trial version from the website
www.endnote.com. At the end of 30 days the trial version converts to a browser, which should
allow a continued connection to PubMed after this time.
Opening the Word Website File
Websites at the end of every chapter of the book as well as additional useful websites are in a
Microsoft Word file. Opening this file in Word should activate these links if you have an online
connection. If you do not have Word, you may download a browser version from the Microsoft
download website. http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/wd97vwr32.aspx
Opening the Algorithms in Excel
Medical algorithms are from The Medical Algorithm Project www.medal.org. We have selected
about 20 from the more than 3,000 compiled by this project. To view them you will need
Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word. The Microsoft Word file gives the description and the
basis for the algorithm. The Microsoft Excel file performs the calculation. If you do not have
Excel, you may download a browser version from the Microsoft download website.
