Recent News: Medicine 2.0 September 21, 2007

It’s been a long and hard week but I’ve been trying to keep you up-to-date about several fields of medicine, genetics and IT. Now, while watching the film Solaris (2002), I’d like to share some interesting medicine 2.0-related articles with you:

• 100 Web Resources for Medical Professionals: A fantastic database of resources for physicians from any kind of medical specialty.

• Healia Update: They launched two new search engine tools. PubMed/Medline Search is specifically designed to help consumers retrieve abstracts of scientific articles published in biomedical journals. Clinical Trials Search retrieves clinical trials information from the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) ClinicalTrials.gov dataset.

• Jan at MedBlog.nl has just made it possible to search MedBlogEN, our list of the best medical blogs of the blogosphere.

• Jonathan Eisen has a good idea: What is your favorite blog entry that you have written in your own blog? Or, especially if you do not have a blog, what is your favorite comment you have written on someone else’s blog?

Well, here are the posts I’m most proud of:

• 10 Tips for How to Use Web 2.0 in Medicine
• Medicine 2.0
• 7 Tips: How to track the information you need!
• PTC124, a Drug Against Genetic Diseases: Overview

Anyway, I don’t think I could submit them for the 2nd Science Blogging Anthology. What do you think?

• Medgadget’s Guide to Hacking into Social Networks for Doctors (Medgadget): I don’t think they’re right, but it seems to open some discussions about the security of these medical social networking sites.

• Check out BioDatabase.Org for all the biological databases currently available on the internet!
