Rhabdoid Resources:  Publications

[Web Sites] [Publications] [Case Summaries]

The medical publication references below can be useful as starting points to a search by linking to the PubMed abstract and, if the abstract seems interesting, clicking "related articles" to view other abstracts on the same topic. The abstract can give you a general idea of the flavour of an article, but for the article itself you'll have to go to a reference library (a hospital or university medical library is your best bet) or order it online (you can do this through Pub Med for a fee, though we've never tried it ourselves).

We've grouped the entries into the following general categories, though there obviously will be overlap.
