A study of the ultra-violet absorption spectra of the known pyridine cyclic hydroxamic acids and related derivatives leads to the conclusion that in ethanolic solution the acids are l-hydroxy-2-keto-1 : 2-dihydropyridines and not 2-hydroxypyridine l-oxides.

A Web site was developed to support a project funded by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) and the Southeastern Atlantic Regional (SE/A) Medical Library at the University of Maryland at Baltimore. WordPress, a free content management system, was used to develop the site.

News changes constantly. That change and the abundance of Web-based news resources available complicate finding the news. This paper reviews sixteen different online news sources for their coverage of recent health and medical issues; both general-interest and medical news sites are included. Three health-related news stories were searched in all resources within set time-frames to provide a comparison of coverage. Features and types of resources are described. The use of RSS feeds and weblogs to find news is also discussed with suggestions for using news aggregators to control the flow of information.
