The Medical Entities Dictionary (MED) is a structured medical
vocabulary developed at Columbia University.  These Web pages
are intended for internal use by those looking at aspects of the MED,
and how it might relate to medical vocabularies at Yale.  
We have left them publicly accessible
because they might be of some interest to others, and there seemed no
reason to hide them; outside users should be aware and forgiving of
their primitive state.

<h2>MED Background and Details</h2>

There are several query and online reference functions available:

<dl>
<dt><strong><u>General</u></strong>
<dd>These items cover general aspects of the MED.
	<ul>
	<li><A HREF="med/summary_stats.html">Summary Statistics</A>
	<li><A HREF="/cgi-bin/med.query1">Run Queries</A>
	<li><A HREF="/cgi-bin/yale.query1">Run Queries - Yale Lab</A>
	Try out the test version, which runs queries on our local Sybase Release 10 Server.
	Initially, this interface is intended for running predefined stored
	procedures, examples of which are given on the next screen.  Once the
	"forms" interface is available for the Macintosh -- supposedly, any day
	now -- it will be used to create a friendlier and more flexible system.
