Ron, I did a quick search via OT search and came up with some hits for wound care but full text isn't available onine.
Perhaps Medline? Other list members would probably know more about doing this kind of research. Chuck >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/29/06 7:40 PM >>> Great information, thanks Chuck. One quick question, when you say to "search abstracts", are you referring to an on-line source?
