Northern Light's conference abstract and posters collection provides a treasure trove of life sciences research information, often several years before that information is published in industry or academic journals. Search a full-text index of:

• More than 1,550,000 abstracts and posters
• From 1,600 life sciences industry conferences
• Conferences from 2010-present
• New conferences added as the abstracts are posted

The limit of databases that you can select for a multi-file search session is based upon database segments rather than actual databases. The Ovid multi-file segment limit is set at 120 to avoid impacting your search sessions. This database includes 10 segments.

This database is updated online weekly.

Quotation marks can be used to retrieve records that contain literal strings, when the string includes special characters, such as a forward slash (/).

Quotation marks can also be used to retrieve records that contain numbers that may otherwise be confused for earlier searches. In the example, a search for 3.vo would limit the string from your third search in your search history to the volume field. By including the number in quotation marks, the search will retrieve documents with a 3 in the volume number.

The Ovid search engine applies so called "run-time stopword processing". This means the search engine on the fly ignores the stopwords: and, as, by, for, from, in, is, of, on, that, the, this, to, was, were & with.

Therefore a search: at risk for diabetes.ti will also find: at risk of diabetes. The distance of one word in between is kept, but the stopword "for" is ignored.

Abstract:
  The PAD exceeded both our gas exchange and resistance goals. Its current resistance is approximately 25-50% of commercially available oxygenators, 
  and two modules in parallel will have a resistance approaching the native lung. This is critical to our destination therapy concept for a number 
  of reasons: i) a lower resistance through the device will result in less blood activation and damage, ii) in a pumped setting, the pump can be set 
  on lower RPMs to generate the same flows, thereby decreasing pump-induced blood damage and activation, and iii) the device

Abstract:
  The group with persisting cytogenetic abnormalities had a significantly shorter period of time relapse-free when compared to 
  those whose abnormalities resolved pre-transplant, with a mean of 1704 days, compared to 2932 days (p = 0.023).
  Longer time between pre-transplant cytogenetic assessment and transplant could, in theory, allow time for molecular relapse 
  prior to transplant and misclassification in our analysis, however there was no significant difference in the median time from bone 
  marrow ascertainment to transplant (30 days in both groups, p = 0.22). Our findings show that although persistent cytogenetic 
  abnormalities pre-transplant are associated with a shorter period of time relapse-free, an important proportion have good 
  outcomes, with 40.9% alive and disease free 2 years post transplant.
