As a follow-up action to the recommendations of the Third Consultation on thePharmaceutical Industry held in Madrid, Spain, from 5 to 9 October 1987, and in order to facilitate collection of information by interested countries, an attempt has been made by UNIDO to draw up guidelines for the setting-up of data bases on medicinal plants. The document provides a short account of existing data bases on the international level. It provides pertinent information with regard to criteria and infrastructural requirements for setting up a data base at the national level, it also includes proposals on how to proceed with regional networking of national data bases. It also gives a schedule for design development and requirements for hardware and software, personnel requirements, budget planning, etc. Additionally, steps involved in the preparation of a monograph on medicinal plants have been described and examplified by giving details on Senna.

Background: Management of combat casualties with severe burns and associated traumatic injuries requires a coordinated interaction of surgical, critical care, and evacuation assets. These patients present enormous challenges to the entire medical system as a result of the severity of injury combined with the great distance required for transport to definitive care. Objective: The objective of this study was to review and highlight some of the advances in burn critical care experienced during recent combat operations. This review focuses on initial resuscitation, respiratory support, care of the burn wound, and long range evacuation. Data Source: The authors conducted a search of the MEDLINE database and manual review of published articles and abstracts from national and international meetings in addition to Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center registry. Conclusions: Fluid resuscitation during the first 24 to 48 hrs after injury remains a significant challenge for all who manage burn casualties. Guidelines have been developed in an effort to standardize fluid resuscitation during this time. These guidelines along with the standardization of burn wound care and continued provider education have resulted in decreased morbidity and mortality in severely burned patients returning from war zones. This system of care for severely burned patients facilitates the transfer of the burn casualty between healthcare providers and facilities and is now being integrated into the catchment area for the Institute of Surgical Research Burn Center.

Discovery in science is the generation of novel, interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge about the objects of study. Literature- related discovery (LRD) is the linking of two or more literature concepts that have heretofore not been linked to produce novel interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge (i.e., potential discovery). Two major variants of LRD are open discovery systems (ODS), where one starts with a problem and generates a potential solution (or vice versa), and closed discovery systems (CDS), where one starts with a problem and a potential solution and generates linking mechanisms. This report reviews the state-of-the-art in ODS LRD only. It examines the major LRD concepts, evaluates each concept in detail from the perspective of discovery capability, and examines the level of potential 'discovery' reported in the literature from each concept's implementation. In the evaluation of potential discovery claimed in the published literature, a vetting process is used that requires that both characteristics of ODS LRD are present for potential discovery to be affirmed: concepts are linked that have not been linked previously, and novel, interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge is produced. The major conclusions are that, until recently, most of the reported ODS LRD techniques had not generated discovery, and this lack of discovery had hampered the growth of ODS LRD substantially. However, ODS LRD techniques have been developed that allow significantly greater amounts of potential discovery to be generated systematically.
