Like a textbook this database can never be totally accurate or comprehensive. Unlike a textbook it can be updated in seconds. Please tell us what is missing or in error and it will improve. Please also read the rest of this page.

A major function of the category information in the Diseases Database is to structure lists: "there are acquired causes and congenital causes..." any item classed as (say) 'bacterial' is automatically classed as an 'infection'; an item classed as having (say) 'sex linked inheritance' is automatically classed as 'Mendelian' and thence to 'inherited' One may wish an item to belong to several categories at the same time.

Synonyms: any single item on the Diseases Database can have many 'names'. Thus you will find chronic obstructive pulmonary disease if you search for it as COAD, COPD or chronic obstructive airways disease. Equivalents: e.g. hyperbilirubinaemia and jaundice. One is a physical sign , the other a biochemical abnormality. The threshold for clinically observable jaundice is higher than the upper limit of normal for serum bilirubin.

It's a fact of life that without advertising and product sales, United Media would have no Website. Currently, our ads are being handled by outside firms that rotate them from their sites, so we don't see the ads prior to their rotation on our pages. We do our best to monitor the advertisements to maintain an enjoyable user experience.

Choosing to advertise your business on the web can have many advantages. The ability to make quick and convenient changes allows you to share up-to-the-minute information with customers instead of waiting for the start of an ad period or a new brochure printing. A website also allows you to avoid frustrating and expensive reprinting costs if or when your information changes.

There are two advantages of job listings over traditional advertising. First, job listings actually offer value to your visitors; they are a form of relevant content. Many visitors feel that they "put up with" traditional ads to get the free content you are providing. Second, clicking a job listing keeps the visitor on your site, unlike traditional advertising that directs them off-site. This means that you keep your visitors attention, plus you get additional pageviews to your site.

To some extent the 'Suggested Links' and/or UMLS Textual Definitions attached to most items provide references. It would take several lifetimes to find the original sources for each of the 30,000 plus assertions in this database. (Evidence based medicine enthusiasts are encouraged to volunteer for this project). Most of the raw information is entirely non-esoteric and comes from the core medical knowledge base.

Errors of commission are removed rapidly from the live site as are minor technical bugs. We try to check e-mail and feedback once every weekday. We aspire to next working day removal of simple errors but this cannot be guaranteed. Geographic, bandwidth and personnel restrictions make it impractical to add new content to the live site more than once a month. Each item on the database is represented by a unique number. As new items are added they get the next available number (n+1).

There is no question that television, radio, and newspaper advertising works. But ads in these media are very expensive and have strict size and length restrictions. In stark contrast, the Internet is an advertiser's dream. The Internet is inherently designed to provide as much room and as much time as you need to promote your company and the values it stand for. For a very reasonable cost, it allows your company to supply vast amounts of information to current and potential customers.

Data can be formatted for distribution by e-mail, Internet, fax, or voice (telephone), saved to files and databases, FTP'd to a web-server, or displayed through a web browser.

Throughout his career Michel has worked in just about every imaginable medium. For his paintings his preferred medium is acrylic paints; his illustrations are done in acid-free inks; his sculptures are mostly fabricated of highly polished brass, bronze and high density aluminum. Although he has done a few secular paintings in his career, at this point all of Michel’s work carries a Jewish theme, lesson or meaning.

Ingrid works in a variety of mediums. Her painted works are primarily oil on canvas. She also works in indian inks, watercolors, charcoals, pastels, printmaking (monoprint), wire-work, papier maché, and textiles.

In parlance these expressions are often used interchangeably, but they are applied with more precision in the Diseases Database.

The absence of a clinical finding or a negative investigation result is often crucial to the diagnostic process. This information could be represented in the database but there are good reasons not to do this. Firstly there is the issue of deciding which negatives to include: the significance of a negative finding is entirely dependent on the clinical context and differential diagnoses being considered.

We do not have the resources to maintain these! Whilst most human diseases are represented in one or more mammals, there are thousands of disorders affecting other mammals which do not afflict humans. Diseases of non-human animals that may be transmitted to or from man (Zoonoses) are of course included. Arguably each species warrants its own Diseases Database 'subset'.

Index Futures have gained wide acceptance globally as a tradeable means of shifting exposure to indices. Index Futures are advantageous when the implied cost of carry is less than the actual cost of carry. In addition, an investment in ETFs requires investment of the entire notional value, while an investment in futures requires posting of an initial collateral deposit and then daily market to market margins which represent a small fraction of the notional value, allowing leverage.

Scientific publications use generic names in preference to proprietary names. Most medical education resources do likewise (other than those provided by the pharmaceutical industry). Potential confusion with brand names is exacerbated by the fact that the same proprietary name may be used for entirely different drugs in different countries. There are too many proprietary names for us to maintain: e.g.

This facility could be provided na?vely albeit selecting multiple items prior to the search using a web browser would be tedious. However the underlying question is usually "can the database return lists of differential diagnoses based on combinations of findings?" The answer is no. This database is not an artificially intelligent diagnostic tool! The database neither knows the patient you have in mind nor the probabilities of causal relationships.

This information could be accommodated within the database. However all clinical workers will have seen MI's presenting with pleuritic chest pain, appendicitis with right upper quadrant 'colicky' abdominal pain etc. The editorial decision is that documenting more qualitative or subjective items may represent reductio ad absurdum and potentially mislead.
