for anyone that is interested, heres a really rough draft of my biblio. I have gone and retrieved a number of papers only to find that they had nothing to do w/ expiration of drugs or were a "remember to educate your customers/patients about not storing drugs in the bathroom and to throw themout after a year" type letter to the editor - ie: very boooo-ring. This being the case, be forwarned. I have not finished retrieving all of these papers, many are in the ILL system, some need translation. I need to go back and make sure all papers not in english are so marked, I think I missed some. This biblio will certainly be weeded out abit, added to and pollished in the upcomming month. it's a DRAFT! - don't spread it all over the net. I should also mention that it includes the pressure cooker as autoclave biblio, that hase the same caveats as this one, but I will also post that biblio seperatly. It's down to 114 entries, from the original ~150, representing some serious "while fetching" weading effort on my part, however, I still have not read most f these, so additional weeding should occure. anyway, enjoy!
ps: I can supply raw DB search output w/ PubMed ID numbers to serious researchers. My local ILL office said PubMed was charging them, a university, $9 USD per doc, and they would try to fetch them via free sources first...
