EMBASE provides current and comprehensive information on drugs and
pharmacology, and all other aspects of human medicine and related
disciplines.
EMBASE, is a current and comprehensive pharmacological and
biomedical database. As of January 2008, it contained over 12
million documents from 1974 to date - with approximately 600,000
records being added annually.
In the summer of 2007, EMBASE Classic was loaded on DataStar. This
archive takes EMBASE coverage back to 1947 and includes an
additional 1.8 million documents. This archive is in the same format
as the rest of the database, some 90% of documents have abstracts,
and current EMTREE indexing is applied throughout. Note however that
some paragraphs are not populated in the archive - refer to the
Notes section of this Guide. It is currently available only to users
who have subscribed specifically to it. EMBASE Classic is available
in two databases: EM73 (1947-1973), and EMXX (1947 to date).
EMBASE features unique international journal coverage and Includes
many important journals from Europe and Asia not found in other
biomedical databases; overall coverage of approximately 5,000
journals published in 70 countries.
EMBASE covers the whole world's biomedical literature whilst
concentrating in particular on European sources. The emphasis of the
database is on the pharmacological effects of drugs and chemicals.
Additional areas of coverage are human medicine and biological
sciences relevant to human medicine, health affairs (occupational
and environmental health, health economics, policy and management),
drug and alcohol dependence, psychiatry, forensic science, pollution
control, biotechnology, medical devices and alternative medicine.
The database provides the full author abstract for 80% of recent
articles. EMBASE is extremely current: articles are indexed and
appear online on average within 10-15 days of receipt of the
original journal.
An interactive thesaurus for the EMTREE classification system is
available in each of the EMBASE files.
Use EMBASE to answer specific questions like:
- What treatments are proposed for NSAID-induced
Gastrointestinal lesions with cytotec?
- Are there any reports of educating children about the
dangers of smoking?
- What has been published on the sensitivity to naltrexone in
rats?

EMBASE has unique international journal coverage; overall,
approximately 5,000 journals published in 70 countries are included.

AB - Abstract
We report a case in which hepatic arterial occlusion developed
during repeated hepatic arterial infusion chemotherapy through an
implanted port-catheter system for advanced malignant hepatic
neoplasia. After successful recanalization of the hepatic artery
by using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, another port-
catheter system was placed percutaneously by interventional
radiology techniques, allowing the continuation of hepatic
arterial infusion chemotherapy. 2006 Royal Australian and New

AB - Abstract
The kouprey (Bos sauveli Urbain, 1937) is a very rare bovid
species of Cambodia, which may be extinct in the wild, as no
living specimen has been observed for a long time. Here, we
describe a complete taxidermy mount, which presents astonishing
morphological similarities with the kouprey. The animal was
mounted in 1871 at the National Museum of Natural History in
Paris, where it was referenced as No. 1871-576. It was deposited
at the Natural History Museum of Bourges, France, in 1931, where
it is still conserved today. To clarify the taxonomic status of
the specimen of Bourges, DNA was extracted from a piece of bone
taken on the mandible, and two different fragments of the
mitochondrial cytochrome gene were independently amplified and
sequenced.

Running Alerts in EMBASE:
Elsevier supplies three types of update documents:
- New (delivered daily)
- Replacements (delivered erratically, though theoretically these
could be delivered on a daily basis)
- Deletions (again, erratically though they too could be delivered
daily)
Alerts are only run on new documents.
Alerts are run the day after the update is received by us.
Replacements can be identified in EMBASE by the letter 'R' in the
accession number paragraph. It is possible to find these by adding
the search 'RT=R' to your strategy.
CF - Conference information
This paragraph is only populated in a small number of documents -
originally loaded between 1990 and 1992.
DE - Descriptors:
The DE paragraph contains descriptors from the EMTREE Thesaurus,
which consists of almost 56,000 controlled drug and medical terms.
EMTREE is available online as an interactive thesaurus (use the
commands..THES, ..TREE/..EXPL) and in the database EVOC.
DT - Publication date
Not all documents have a specific publication date, but this
paragraph is populated for all documents in the format YYYYMMDD. For
those documents taken from weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly,
annual, etc. publications, the month and date figures may be
zero-filled. For example a 'July 2007' publication date will show as
'20070700', a '2007' publication date will show as '20070000'.
EMBASE (EMED) and EMBASE Alert (EMBA)
Elsevier supplies a sister-file to EMBASE called EMBASE Alert. This
contains the latest eight weeks of information, without any indexing
- in order to have the information available as quickly as possible.
Every item which appears in EMBASE Alert (EMBA) will later appear in
EMBASE (EMED). Usually the delay between appearance in EMBA and then
in EMED is just a matter of a few days, often less than a week.
EM73 - paragraphs not populated
A number of paragraphs in the current EMBASE files are not populated
in the pre-1974 EMBASE Classic archive file. These are:
- CT (Conference title)
- CP (Country of publisher)
- MF (Manufacturer)
- TN (Tradename)
- DT (Publication date)
..RANK and ..MAP: available in AU, SO, MJ and YR paragraphs.
You may find some discrepancy between the number of documents that
is listed in the RANK table and the number of documents retrieved if
that terms is selected for searching. This is because the number
listed in the RANK table excludes those documents that have been
flagged for deletion, whereas the number searched does not.
Refer to EMBASE's online guide in the BASE database for a full
description on Effective Thesaurus Searching - search as BASE-EMED.
