Dulcinea's Insight

  • Some Web sites announce very early results to study trials. If there is a breakthrough that seems very promising, be aware that any medication or procedures may not be available to the public for a few years.
  • Many journals are only accessible through subscriptions but their associated Web sites may offer abstracts of their research articles. Abstracts are a good way to learn the basic findings of a particular study.
