"PubMed RSS is now live. After doing a PubMed search, click on the drop down menu for "send to" and RSS is now one of the options. The feature allows you to specify a name for the feed and number of items to include."(via NodalPoint.org)
This could be the perfect way to follow the new developments in a narrow field, or to look for updated answers to a specific clinical question.

You can read the RSS feeds in the online aggregator Bloglines, in the browser itself (Opera 8.0) or in a stand-alone RSS reader.
By the way, if you have a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled PDA, the mobile Bloglines is a great application.
