Twease – Search Medline At the Abstract Level
http://twease.org/medline/app

Twease is a web-based tool to search Medline™ at the abstract level. Twease indexes each word of Medline™ and provides features that can transparently expand your search to help find the information you are looking for. Twease searches are also partially case sensitive. Short terms are case sensitive, while longer terms are not. For instance, TnT is different from TNT (TnT often stands for Troponin T while TNT often stands for trinitrotoluene). For more details on Twease’s case sensitivity, see the Case Sensitive Searches tutorial page. Finally, Twease can automatically discover common abbreviations for search phrases (e.g., “protein kinase C” will discover PKC, PK-C, aPKC, etc.) and rewrite queries to use these abbreviations. This has been added to my Healthcare Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This has been added to the source code of my eHealthcareBot Search Engine.
