MedInfoRus has been developed by a group of medical librarians from New York City with the goal of helping Russian-speaking audience to search the Internet for medical information. It may be helpful both for professionals in their searches for medical publications, and for the public seeking health-related information and medical advice.
On this website we have tried to bring together a collection of links to medical websites, electronic publications, directories, and other resources available online in Russian. This collection includes sources both from Russia and from other countries. Each link has a brief annotation explaining what kind of information you can expect to find there. We did not intend, however, to evaluate these sources from the point of view of their informative value or reliability. Please keep in mind that you should carefully review any medical information you find on the Internet and use your own judgment.
A very important part of our site is a guide in Russian on how to search PubMed, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) system. We have created this guide to help Russian-speaking people with limited knowledge in English to search MEDLINE, the largest bibliographic database of medical information and other databases developed by the NLM. The guide explains the structure of PubMed and its components; discusses various methods of searching PubMed and navigating search results; and includes a description of additional PubMed services and related resources. A new updated and revised version of the "PubMed Guide in Russian" has been recently posted on the website (click on Searching Medline).
We hope that our website will be useful for you. Please send your comments and suggestions to the webmaster.
Have a good search!
