Literature-Related Discovery: Potential Treatments for SARS
December 2009
Dr. Ronald N. Kostoff, The MITRE Corporation
ABSTRACT
For the present paper, SARS was selected as the first application of LRD to an infectious disease. The first goal of this research was to identify non–drug non–surgical treatments that would 1) prevent the occurrence, or 2) reduce the progression rate, or 3) stop/reverse the progression of SARS. The second goal was to generate large amounts of potential discovery in more than an order of magnitude less time than required for the author's previous Raynaud's Phenomenon LRD study. To enhance the volume of potential discovery, databases were used in addition to Medline.
