[PR4NOW]

For those of you that enjoy reading about endocrinology this is quite a nice article about the history of TRH and it is downloadable. PR

Thank you PR4NOW, very much appreciated. Guess it's now time to try to extend my knowledge... moving through that of quagmire to minefield.

Thank you for posting! My late husband did his PhD on TRH and skimming through the authors spotted 3 I know. Wish I had asked more questions and understood more but I shall save and look more later.

Yeah, but when are they goin to cure us? That's what I'd like to know.

I note this at the end:

Thanks to the introduction of PubMed (1997) that ‘socialized’ scientific knowledge by making information accessible, it is now evident that the work performed more than half a century ago included creative, ingenious and patient surgical and biochemical techniques that laid down the grounds of many questions, some of which are still unanswered. Easier access to more pre-digital journal articles is highly desirable.

The importance of PubMed cannot be overemphasised. Locating anything in the days before computerised indexing and cataloguing was time consuming, error-prone and severely constrained by limited access to material.

Digitisation of all known papers is desirable. Unless and until they are accessible, we will continue to miss an awful lot.

Thanks, PR4NOW, well worth posting.

TRH stands for 'thyrotropin-releasing hormone'. PR
