Publicly available data from Medicare frequently requires extensive
    initial effort to extract desired variables and merge them; this package
    formalizes the techniques I've found work best. More information on the 
    Medicare program, as well as guidance for the publicly available data this package 
    targets, can be found on CMS's website covering publicly available data. See <https://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems.html>.

Contains a dataset of morphological and structural features of 'Medicinal LEAves (MedLEA)'. The features of each species is recorded by manually viewing the medicinal plant repository available at (<http://www.instituteofayurveda.org/plants/>). You can also download repository of leaf images of 1099 medicinal plants in Sri Lanka.

Parses information from text files with specific utility aimed at pulling information from Med Associate's (MPC) files. These functions allow for further analysis of MPC files.

An increasingly important source of health-related bibliographic 
    content are preprints - preliminary versions of research articles that have
    yet to undergo peer review. The two preprint repositories most relevant to 
    health-related sciences are medRxiv <https://www.medrxiv.org/> and
    bioRxiv <https://www.biorxiv.org/>, both of which are operated by the Cold 
    Spring Harbor Laboratory. 'medrxivr' provides programmatic access to the 
    'Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory (CSHL)' API <https://api.biorxiv.org/>,
    allowing users to easily download medRxiv and bioRxiv preprint metadata
    (e.g. title, abstract, publication date, author list, etc) into R. 
    'medrxivr' also provides functions to search the downloaded preprint records 
    using regular expressions and Boolean logic, as well as helper functions 
    that allow users to export their search results to a .BIB file for easy 
    import to a reference manager and to download the full-text PDFs of 
    preprints matching their search criteria.
