Skyscape adds healthcare articles service & cardiology references

August 23, 2005 -- (MobileVillage) -- Skyscape has announced the launch of a new real-time Clinical & Healthcare Articles service on its website, created in collaboration with Advanstar Medical Economics (AME), the second largest medical publisher in North America.

The company has also added cardiology references formatted specially for PDAs and smartphones: Jones and Bartlett Publishers' "Dx/Rx: Coronary Thrombosis" and "Dx/Rx: Heart Failure".

"Dx/Rx: Coronary Thrombosis" is authored by Richard C. Becker, MD, Duke Clinical Research Institute and Frederick A. Spencer, MD , UMass Memorial Health Care. "Dx/Rx: Heart Failure" is written by Theo E. Meyer MD and Dennis A. Tighe MD.

Organized into a highly condensed outline bulleted format, the new manuals detail current information for diagnosis and treatment. Throughout the references tables and figures summarize important clinical data and current professional society recommendations, while references direct readers to additional information.

Both also feature Skyscape's patented smARTlink technology, which enables readers to easily cross-index with other clinical and drug prescription products from Skyscape.
