Editor's Notes

  • #28 Top News will be displayed when you first log inCan filter search by Drugs, Conditions, or ProceduresTo select a subsection for News, click News->Change->Scroll down, for example Public Health and PreventionCaveat: References and links only go to Mobile Web version of Medscape, not to the PubMed Abstract
  • #30 In contrast to NEJM, the Nature app does allow you to filter between Nature, Nature News, and PubMed articles (I am not sure what the difference is, because of all of the articles under PubMed are Nature publications (number in both groups is the same)
