       This function returns the bibliographic information obtained
       by enquiring the Pubmed service with a PubMed identifier
       (PMID). This is the number found below the abstract on the
       PubMed entrez web-pages. The PMID can be retrieved by the
       brede_web_pubmed function.

       Please do not retrieve too many items, and for large jobs try
       to restrict the retrievals to hours with little load on the
       PubMed servers, eg, weekends. Also do not set the 'PauseTime'
       property too low. By default it is set to 3, but to be nice
       you can set it higher.

       Example:
         s = brede_web_pmid(10075900);

         b = brede_web_pmid([107587 367312], 'output', 'bib')
