En éste y otros hilos, algunos foreros han preguntado por el PLM:

PLM (Diccionario de Especialidades Farmacéuticas), edición 52, 2006



PLM fue fundada en México en 1942 y publicó el primer diccionario de medicamentos del continente americano en 1944. Con la apertura de su sucursal en Centro América en 1969 también fue de las primeras empresas en expandirse regionalmente a los mercados de habla hispana del continente americano. Actualmente la compañía mantiene operaciones en Centro América, Colombia, Perú, Ecuador y América del Sur.

Su estructura sencilla y de localización rápida se logra a través de la organización de cinco índices que permiten la ubicación exacta y ágil del medicamento buscado, ya sea conociendo el laboratorio, la indicación, la sustancia, la acción terapéutica (conforme el ATC de la OMS) o en el índice general de productos. Además, contiene un Sistema de Identificación de Especialidades Farmacéuticas (SIDEF) que permite conocer a través de fotografía el medicamento, así como información adicional de valores de laboratorio y gabinete, lista de medicamentos controlados con su reglamentación.

Se trata de una aplicación comercial (390 $), al parecer proporcionada en soporte SD. En la web de Thomson hay que rellenar un formulario para realizar el pedido, y no parece haber disponible ninguna versión de evaluación para descargar.

Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) Quick Depression Assessment Tool



The PHQ-9(TM) is a validated 9-item, patient self-report depression assessment specifically developed for use in primary care. The PHQ-9 has demonstrated usefulness as an assessment tool for the diagnosis of depression in primary care with acceptable reliability, validity, sensitivity, and specificity. The nine items of the PHQ-9 come directly from the nine DSM-IV signs and symptoms of major depression. Patients should not be diagnosed solely on the basis of a PHQ-9 score. The clinician should corroborate the score with clinical determination that a significant depressive syndrome is present.

After making a provisional diagnosis with the PHQ-9, there are additional clinical considerations that may affect decisions about management and treatment.

Aplicación gratuita, que forma parte de las MedTools que puede integrar Epocrates Rx.

Es similar a otras aplicaciones ya comentadas en el hilo (Depression PHQ-9 Score de STAT Coder y Depression de CZR Technologies).

Anticoagulation Advisor



Many authorities consider changes to warfarin doses based on percent of total weekly doses to be the optimal way to manage warfarin. This method can be challenging for busy practitioners because it takes considerable time to calculate the current total weekly dose, determine a new weekly dose that is increased or decreased by approximately 10 % to 20 %, and then develop daily dose advise that is practical for the patient.

The dose manager portion of the ANTICOAGULATION ADVISOR ® provides a solution that is effective, easy to use, and educational.

Users are reminded that this information is to be used only as a reference aid. This material is not intended to be a substitute for good bedside professional medical judgment. In view of the possibility of human error or changes in medical science, users are advised to confirm the information contained herein through independent sources. User should be aware that medical knowledge is constantly growing and changing and that difference of medical opinion exist amongst authorities.

The dose selector portion of the ANTICOAGULATION ADVISOR ® is designed to help adjust the weekly dose of warfarin for patients on chronic warfarin therapy. The dose selector adjusts the weekly dose of warfarin based on practical. The dose selector will help determine the percentage of weekly dose changes and whether or not to hold dose(s) of warfarin.

The number of milligrams of warfarin in the array of total-weekly-dose-levels are designed to provide approximately 10 % difference between dose levels. This unique pattern of weekly doses permits practical daily dosing, limited number of tablet strengths, and changes to weekly doses in approximately 10% intervals.
