Other ways to search for Parkinson's research news
Try experimenting with RSS feeds, searches of online news services, and alert services.
- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds deliver the freshest content from your favorite websites to one window on your computer. For instance, news sources such as the New York Times and CNN let you sign up for free RSS news feeds on topic areas such as health news or science; each feed is like a constantly updated table of contents listing the most recent story headlines and Web links to the full-text articles.
- Topix.com, a community news website, maintains a Parkinson's disease news site with continually updated postings and a forum for commenting on articles. You can use Topix's advanced search to customize your own queries of news and blog sources and restrict results to your favorite newspaper or your zip code.
- Google News and Yahoo! News also allow tailored searches. For example, go to the Yahoo! advanced news search and enter Parkinson's neuroprotection in the search dialog box for results showing "all of these words." The engine will return only stories about potential neuroprotective drugs for Parkinson's disease. You can also limit results to stories from a selected news source. Another option: Set up Google Alerts or Yahoo! Alerts to receive Parkinson's news e-mails.
