As of May 13, 1996, you will need to
register to access many parts of HDCN, including
most of the article and
abstract summaries, discussion threads, etc.
Weekly Browsing
Once a week, go to the
weekly update section to find out what has been added.
About 3-8 articles are added each week. This section also has a
CME site of the week, and will tell you if a new
NEPHROL thread or
ASK the PROF
has been added.
You should look at the quarterly list of
articles (for example "win '96" for winter 1996). The titles are divided
into hypertension,
dialysis, and clinical nephrology. The first month's articles from each
quarter are preceded by a
yellow ball 
, the second month's by a green ball 
,
and the third month's by a red ball 
.
Selected abstracts are arranged by meeting. Click on the meeting title for a list of abstracts.
Looking for something in particular
The topic areas (n=140) can be accessed from the home page (hypertension, dialysis, or clinical
nephrology). Here you will find all of the collected abstract and article reviews pertaining to a
given topic area. You can also do a word search of the entire site, or of the 1995 or 1996 articles
or abstracts using ICE.
News Alerts
Other areas to check regularly are the news alert section from the home page. Go to Reuters search
and put in a keyword of hypertension, dialysis, or kidney. Check the AMA press releases, and those
from the American Heart Association (added weekly).
The many other features of HDCN should be self-explanatory.
Good luck!
