SERIES NOTE

Current Bibliographies in Medicine (CBM) is a continuation in part of the National Library of Medicine’s
Literature Search Series, which ceased in 1987 with No. 87-15. In 1989 it also subsumed the Specialized
Bibliography Series. Each bibliography in the new series covers a distinct subject area of biomedicine
and is intended to fulfill a current awareness function. Citations are usually derived from searching a
variety of online databases. NLM databases utilized include MEDLINE”, AVLINE®, BIOETHICSLINE®,
CANCERLIT®, CATLINE®, HEALTH, POPLINE™ and TOXLINE®. The only criterion for the inclusion
of a particular published work is its relevance to the topic being presented; the format, ownership, or
location of the material is not considered.

Comments and suggestions on this series may be addressed to:

The concept of medical waste is multi-faceted. It includes wastes which are infectious as well as those
which may give off toxic substances when incinerated. It includes wastes from hospitals, doctors’ and
dentists’ offices, veterinary clinics, free-standing surgical and dialysis centers, and households and home

health care. Recent incidents of syringes and other medically related material washing up on beaches
spurred studies which led to enactment of the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988.

MEDICAL WASTE DISPOSAL

This bibliography contains selected references to English and foreign language publications concerning
medical wastes and their disposal. It includes journal articles, books and chapters of books, audiovisuals,
editorials, and letters to the editor. Arrangement of the bibliography is by eight subject categories, plus
an appendix of journal titles in the field.

''SEARCH STRATEGY

A variety of online databases are usually searched in preparing bibliographies in the CBM series. To
assist you in updating or otherwise manipulating the material in this search, the strategy used for the
NLM’s MEDLINE database is given below. Please note that the search strategies presented here differ
from individual demand searches in that they are generally broadly formulated and irrelevant citations
edited out prior to printing.

SS 1= MEDICAL WASTE (MH)
SS 2=(TW) WASTE OR WASTES OR TRASH

SS 3=2 AND SURGICAL (TW) OR 2 AND MEDICAL (TW) OR 2 AND
CLINICAL (TW) OR 2 AND BIOMEDICAL (TW) OR 2 AND
NURSING (TW) OR 2 AND ALL CHEMOTHER: (TW) OR 2 AND
ALL HOSPITAL# (TW) OR 2 AND ALL PHYSICIAN# (TW) OR
2 AND INFECTIOUS (TW)

SS 4= (TW) ALL NEEDLE# OR ALL DRESSING# OR ALL SHARP# OR
ALL LINEN# OR BEDDING

SS 5=4 AND DISPOSAL (TW) OR 4 AND DISPOSITION (TW) OR
4 AND DISPOSING (TW). OR 4 AND REMOVAL (TW)

SS6=1 OR 3 OR 5

GRATEFUL MED®

To make online searching easier and more efficient, the Library offers GRATEFUL MED,
microcomputer-based software that provides a user-friendly interface to most NLM databases. This
software was specifically developed for health professionals and features multiple choice menus and "fill
in the blank" screens for easy search preparation. GRATEFUL MED runs on an IBM PC (or IBM-
compatible) with DOS 2.0 or a Macintosh, and requires a Hayes (or Hayes-compatible) modem. It may
be purchased from the National Technical Information Service in Springfield, Virginia, for $29.95 (plus
$3.00 per order for shipping). For your convenience, an order blank has been enclosed at the back of this
bibliography.

''SAMPLE CITATIONS

Citations in this bibliographic series are formatted according to the rules established for Index Medicus”.
Sample journal and monograph citations appear below. For journal articl-s written in a foreign language,
the English translation of the title is placed in brackets; for monographs, the title is given in the original
language. In both cases the language of publication is shown by a three letter abbreviation appearing at
the end of the citation. Note also that a colon (:) may appear within an author’s name or article title.
The NLM computer system automatically inserts this symbol in the place of a diacritical mark.
