The National Library of Med­i­cine announced today that their Med­line­Plus web­sitefor con­sumer health went live today with a new look and new fea­tures.  One of the more inter­est­ing fea­tures is here: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/videosandcooltools.html

There are videos avail­able on top­ics such as human anatomy, sur­gi­cal pro­ce­dures and health news. “Test your knowl­edge with the inter­ac­tive tuto­ri­als and games.”  NLM has employed social net­work­ing con­nec­tions, and pro­vides a med­ical dictionary.
