PubMed is a free database of references and abstracts on life sciences and biomedical topics. The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health maintains the database as part of the Entrez information retrieval system. PubMed was first released in January 1996.
As of 30 December 2011, PubMed has over 21.4 million records going back to 1966; about 500,000 new records are added each year. As of 1 December 2011, 12.3 million articles are listed with their abstracts, and 12.7 articles have links to full-text (of which 3.5 million articles are available full-text for free for any user).

There has been, and continues to be, much talk about the "Indi Gregory Case." Indi was an eight-month-old baby suffering from a severe, and so far fatal, rare disease.
