You can access most abstracts through PubMed but you may not be able to access them unless you're affiliated with a university/institution which subscribes to the journal(s) you want to read. If I can't access the article I want to read after reading the abstract, I just email the author(s) and in most cases they are very kind and email the full article to me soon after. There's a feature on pub med that allows you to have the most recent abstracts on your topic of interest sent to your email address. I chose crohn's and UC so almost every day I get two emails updating me with the articles published in all of the medical journals on that day for both of those topics.
