PubMed / MedLine

Maintained by the National Library of Medicine's NCBI (National Center of Biotechnology Information), PubMed is a free bibliographic database containing over 30 million citations and abstracts of biomedical literature. Being a bibliographic database, it does not include the full texts of the publications but has links to the full text on external sites, such as the PubMed Central archive (PMC) and other Open Access platforms, or the publisher's site of the publications. The access to full texts, when provided by a subscribed publisher, is reserved for institutional users by carrying out searchers from the personalized PubMed for Unige site. It is accessible from all the University network PCs; to access the contents from external stations it is necessary to set the Proxy PAC service on your device. We also report Medline Ovid, the Medline database on the Ovid platform. See the Tutorial [eng]

Reaxys

In addition to the traditional repertoires (Beilstein and Gmelin), there are hundreds of periodicals specialized in organic, inorganic, organometallic, physical, computational, materials science, petrochemical, pharmacy, and pharmacology, in addition to others related to the chemical field. It is accessible from all the University network PCs; to access the contents from external PCs proxy service is needed. See also other Reaxis linked resources: the free APP REACTION FLASH (Elsevier) and Reaxys Academy, a collection of tutorials and manuals.

The Academy's Nutrition Care Process Research Outcomes (NCPRO) Committee maintains the standardized terminology for the four steps of the NCP. Modifications to the terminology are made based on research results and changes in practice. All changes to the terminology and reference sheets were carefully reviewed by the NCPRO Committee, members of the NCPT Advisory Workgroup, and experts from the international NCP community. More than 2.000 terms, 160 diagnostic terms. 1 seat only . The Proxy is needed.

JoVE

A web platform that publishes educational and scientific videos for STEM disciplines. The Journal of Visualized Experiments is a highly innovative tool for teaching in the medical and scientific fields. All videos, viewable in HD on any device, can be shared between teachers and students via the same e-learning platforms. The resource includes two sections: "Research" and "Education": '' Research '' allows access to over 10,000 peer-reviewed video articles published in the '' JoVE Video Journal '' - illustrating scientific research - and by video-encyclopedia '' JoVE Encyclopedia of Experiments ''; the "Education" part contains educational videos to support university and post-graduate teaching of laboratory practices and methods mainly aimed at the medical area, psychological and behavioral sciences, and the STEM area (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics ). It is accessible from all the University network PCs; to access the contents from external devices it is sufficient to register in the database with your institutional email.

Cochrane Library

The Cochrane Library is a useful tool for orienting medical and nursing professional activities, in the clinical choices, long-term education, and service organizations. It collects all the systematic reviews (RS) produced by the Cochrane Collaboration, an international non-profit organization, and the protocols of the reviews in progress. It is a database composed of various databases, which can be queried together or separately: Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Methodology Register (CMR), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects (DARE), Health Technology Assessment Database (HTA), NHS Economic Evaluation Database (EED). The Cochrane Clinical Answers module is also available, providing concise answers to clinical questions and allowing for further insights thanks to the evidence-based content of systematic reviews. Cochrane database offers also the PICO search feature. See tutorial [ENG].  Proxy service is needed.

MedDRA

MedDRA (Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities) è un dizionario terminologico medico standardizzato sviluppato dall’ICH (International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use). Ricco di termini e altamente specifico, ha il fine di facilitare lo scambio di informazioni nell’ambito della regolamentazione internazionale per prodotti medicali usati da soggetti umani. La terminologia MedDRA si applica a tutte le fasi dello sviluppo di prodotti medicali per uso umano. L'ambito di applicazione di MedDRA include concetti medicali, concetti relativi alla sanità e alla regolamentazione riguardanti tali prodotti, oltre alla terminologia riguardante gli effetti dei dispositivi sulla salute umana. La lingua per l'interrogazione del dizionario è l'inglese. Sono disponibili informazioni in lingua italiana ed è possibile scegliere per l'interfaccia utente (UI) diverse lingue , tra le quali italiano, inglese, francese, spagnolo, portoghese, tedesco, ceco, ungherese, cinese, giapponese, coreano, russo.Tra gli strumenti offerti da MedDra è disponibile il MedDRA Mobile Browser (MMB) con interfaccia utente multilingue, per navigare dai dispositivi mobili IOS o Android. L'accesso ai contenuti, sia da postazioni in rete di Ateneo che da postazioni esterne, avviene tramite login con credenziali da richiedere alla biblioteca (bibliomedfarm@unige.it)

PubChem

Curata dal NCBI (National Center of Biotechnology Information) della NLM (National Library of Medicine), PubChem è una banca dati gratuita di molecole chimiche composto da tre banche dati fattuali gratuite: PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, PubChem Bioassay. PubChem Substance contiene informazioni sulle sostanze chimiche, PubChem Compound descrive le proprietà chimiche di questi composti e PubChem Bioassay include studi di bioattività effettuati dallo Developmental Therapeutic Program (NCBI), ognuno dei quali è linkato ai record di PubChem Substance. I tre database sono collegati ad altre banche dati della NCBI come PubMed, Protein e Structure. Come per PubMed, a cui PubChem è collegata, per accedere ad eventuali full text di pubblicazioni o per usufruire del servizio di fornitura di articoli quando ci si collega da postazioni esterne è necessario impostare sul proprio dispositivo il Proxy PAC.
