More health information on Medlineplus

There are some new developments at the National Library of Medicine's Medlineplus website. Please see the announcement that came out today:

On March 28, 2007, MedlinePlus will introduce a number of new features
to the Health Topic pages. Highlights include:

Each page will now display a photograph or illustration.

A brief summary of each disease or condition will also display at the
top of the page. Composed by experienced medical writers and reviewed by
NLM staff, the summaries are based largely on NIH and other government
information. They are written at an easy-to-read level and include links
to related topics.

As of March 28th, summaries will appear on about half of English pages.
All English and Spanish Health Topic pages will include a summary in the
near future.

Synonyms will appear right under the health topic name.

A new category, labeled Start Here, will link users to overviews and
important information for first-time visitors.
