Softkey Mosbys Medical
Encyclopedia (XP version)
|
Mosby's Medical Encyclopedia on CD-ROM
has made it even easier to look up your health problems, containing just
about all there is to know in the field of contemporary medical expertise.
Mosby's is one of the biggest names in American Medical Reference. For
75 years flu victims in Fresno, syphilitics in Seattle, plague carriers
in Peoria and hypochondriacs in Hackensack have been checking its authoritative
pages for the right terms, drugs and treatments to go with their condition.
The format is admirably clear. A column on the left of the screen indicates
the various available sources on-disc. You can click on each to access
the subsection you want. Most useful is maybe the encyclopedia, which gives
plain, lucid, informative definitions of some 20,000 medically related
terms. Below the encyclopedia is a very handy drug guide, affording the
scientific background and uses of multifarious pills, medicines and remedies,
from Ibuprofen to Intaferon, Temazepam to Tixylix . Equally interesting
is the "human atlas", which diagrammatically maps nervous, lymphatic, musculatory
and digestive systems, among others; the on-disc Internet guide, which
links you to pertinent Web sites and apposite net-addresses, is pretty
cool too. In fact there's so much information here it might prove slightly
overwhelming for the layman, and in some ways the CD-ROM is aimed as much
at professional users as the needy family or inquisitive individual. But
for those willing to swallow the odd technical term it's still pretty hard
to think of a better single-disc medical dictionary on the CD ROM market.
