SEARCH TIP: The Pediatrics tab
The search term tells SearchMedica to look for exactly those words in an article. Here, it found the words “hyperhomocysteinemia” and “pediatrics” in sidebars, but they never appeared in the main article.
An easier way to find the right content is to use the term hyperhomocysteinemia in the Pediatrics tab, found among the specialties in the blue bar above the search box.
Looking for articles on that topic from the journal Pediatrics? Type the word “Pediatrics” into the search box, and then cut and paste the URL for that journal (pediatrics.aappublications.org) from the result. Typing d: and the journal URL, followed by your search term (d:pediatrics.aappublications.org hyperhomocysteinemia), provides a list of the articles on hyperhomocysteinemia in Pediatrics.
