life sciences. The database covers approximately 5,400 biomedical journals published in the United States and worldwide. Includes
citations and abstracts to articles in medicine, nursing, dentistry, public health and the preclinical sciences (including genetics,
immunology, molecular biology, microbiology, etc.). The Filters feature appears on the search results screen running down the left
hand side and allows you to filter your results by date of publication, language, species, gender, etc. Coverage: 1948–present.

includes the full-text of the
PDR, Red Book, Index
Nominum, Martindale’s, and
many others. It also includes
information about alternative

and dosing tools.
mobileMicromedex also is
available for smartphones.
DynaMed - DynaMed is a
point-of-care clinical reference
tool with clinically-organized
summaries for nearly 3,200
topics. DynaMed is updated
daily and monitors the content
of over 500 medical journals
and systematic evidence
review databases. Each
publication is thoroughly
reviewed, and each article is
evaluated for clinical
relevance and scientific
validity. The new evidence is
then integrated with existing
content, and overall conclusions are changed as appropriate representing a synthesis of the best available evidence. A mobile
application is available for iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry, Microsoft Mobile and Palm.
Visual Dx lets clinicians visually validate a diagnosis, look up steps for management and patient care, or build a differential diagnosis
for puzzling presentations from their iPhone or iPod Touch.
