Location and indexing of articles written by podiatric physicians.
This study was undertaken to determine which biomedical journals contain articles written by podiatric physicians and in which indexing sources such articles are likely to appear. A survey was conducted of the 20 most frequently published podiatrist authors from a selected group of podiatric journals during the period from 1990 to 1995. ⋯ The MEDLINE database was found to contain the largest number of citations to articles written by these podiatric physicians. Both the Podiatry Index and Embase are also very good sources of citations to podiatric medical literature and should be used to supplement MEDLINE searches.

Review Case Reports Comparative StudyContrasts in clinical presentation and genetic transmission of myotonic dystrophy.
Myotonic dystrophy, the most common inherited neuromuscular disease, is an autosomal dominant muscular dystrophy characterized by myotonia and distal muscle weakness. It is caused by an increase in the number of cytosine-thymine-guanine (CTG) nucleotide repeats present on the long arm of chromosome 19. Two patients were evaluated, one with classic adult-onset myotonic dystrophy and the other with congenital myotonic dystrophy. Contrasts in the clinical features and genetic transmission of this disease and clinical management are reviewed.
