Resources Here are six of the most interesting and potentially useful online health resources. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed PubMed includes millions of citations from medical journals dating to the 1950s. Doctors and students have learned to rely on the database to track studies. Patients, though, might be overwhelmed: More than 500 abstracts crop up when the system translates a naive query for "causes of bad breath" into "etiology of halitosis." But if you know what you're looking for, and how to make sense of it, PubMed is a power tool without peer. patientslikeme.com The site is a kind of Facebook for the chronically ill. It holds thousands of profiles of patients living with diseases as diverse as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's and HIV, with a special section for mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. Patients can use slick visual tools to chart their symptoms, rate their drugs and treatments, and track their progress compared to fellow patients. visualdxhealth.com The site features the Skin Disease Finder, a kind of Flickr for bites, boils, cysts, moles, rashes, sores, warts and more -- even the hard-to-describe skin infections caused by MRSA. This free dermatological atlas will satisfy all but the most fiendish amateur skin detective. You can select a location as precise as scalp, cheek, toenail or "finger webspace," or you can shoot the moon by clicking on "widespread rash." Presto, a sort of lineup of skin diseases appears. mayoclinic.com It's tough to get an appointment at the Mayo Clinic, but it's much easier to consult its encyclopedic site, which might be the most concise source of medical information on the Web. Mayo writes its own material, with a tone that manages to be both conversational and precise, straightforward and sympathetic. The no-nonsense symptom checker, while remarkably simple to use, should probably be kept away from hypochondriacs. clinicaltrials.gov With more than 25,000 open trials testing a dizzying variety of new drugs, surgeries and vaccines, this site might have something for everyone. The upside is bargain-priced treatment; in-patient volunteers can be well compensated. The downside is that you might be pumped full of an untested drug with serious effects. (You might also get a placebo.) sfcityclinic.org San Francisco City Clinic is a bracing and realistic source of information. Its front page comes on gently with a little box marked "About You." This leads to a customized list of diseases one can get as, say, a middle-age transsexual who sleeps with both men and women. For those who would rather see all the risks at once, a handy chart of "STD basics" catalogs the infections that can be transmitted by nine kinds of sexual activity. Nov 12, 2008
