Featured Free Resource: Quertle  Quertle: http://www.quertle.info/  Developed by two experts in bioinformatics and data analysis, Quertle offers a uniquely effective way to execute a combined search of the biomedical literature in PubMed, the RePORTER grants database, TOXLINE, and a medical/life science news outlet. This tool also searches the full text of open-access material in BioMed Central and PubMed Central, as well as that of user-submitted scientific whitepapers and research posters. Quertle uses natural-language query constructs very like sentence structure and uses relationships to return relevant results.   For details on how it works, see the FAQ tab. A handy brochure on searching and video/other tutorials can be found under the Resources tab. Quertle also works with various bibliographic management tools, including RefWorks. Searches can be saved, and an alerts service is available. These features require the user to set up a free account.  To access Quertle, go to: http://www.quertle.info/  Clinical Alert: Commonly Used Three-drug Regimen for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Found Harmful.  The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) part of the National Institutes of Health, has stopped one arm of a three-arm multi-center clinical trial studying treatments for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) for safety concerns.  The trial found that people with IPF receiving a currently used triple-drug therapy consisting of prednisone, azathioprine, and N-acetylcysteine (NAC) had worse outcomes than those who received placebos or inactive substances.
