     indacPMID is an R environment that provides mappings between
     manufacturer identifiers and PubMed identifiers.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Each manufacturer identifier is mapped to a named vector of PubMed
     identifiers. The name associated with each vector corresponds to
     the manufacturer identifier. The length of the vector may be one
     or greater, depending on how many PubMed identifiers a given
     manufacturer identifier is mapped to. An 'NA' is reported for any
     manufacturer identifier that cannot be mapped to a PubMed
     identifier.

     Titles, abstracts, and possibly full texts of articles can be
     obtained from PubMed by providing a valid PubMed identifier. The
     pubmed function of annotate can also be used for the same purpose.

     Mappings were based on data provided by:
