Description
DynaMed is a clinical reference tool created by physicians for physicians and other healthcare professionals for use primarily at the 'point-of-care' with clinically-organized summaries for more than 3,200 topics. Based on the results of a study published in Annals of Family Medicine (November/ December 2005), not only did primary care clinicians answer more clinical questions with access to DynaMed than without DynaMed, but these clinicians also found more answers in DynaMed that changed clinical decisions.

DynaMed is updated daily and monitors the content of over 500 medical journals and systematic evidence review databases directly and indirectly by using many journal review services. Each publication is reviewed cover-to-cover, 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. Through this process of systematic literature surveillance, the best available evidence determines the content of DynaMed.

Description
The Scientific & Medical ART Imagebase ("SMART Imagebase") created by Nucleus Medical Art, provides a comprehensive collection of downloadable medical illustrations and animations. Ideal for students and teachers of Anatomy, Physiology, Biology and other Life Sciences, SMART Imagebase contains medical illustrations, animations, and interactive multimedia for 24 body systems/regions and 20 medical specialties.

This database contains a growing collection of over 20,000 high quality illustrations and animations depicting anatomy, physiology, surgery, pathology, diseases, conditions, trauma, embryology, histology, and other medical topics. Content is peer-reviewed by graduate level medical illustrators and expert-reviewed by physicians.

SMART Imagebase also contains non-English content. The 100 most popular anatomy and physiology illustrations in the database have been translated into additional languages (more than 500 records each for Spanish and Portuguese). In total, 13 non-English languages are now covered in the SMART Imagebase. Non-English content is accessed using a language browse feature on the left navigation inset.
