Features of Microtosis
A brief tour of what’s under the hood …
More than 250 short video animations that explain key infectious diseases, their pathogenesis, clinical conditions, and important attributes that aid in Dx and Tx. All videos can be sped up to 2x speed, slowed down (if that’s your cup of tea), and can be viewed an unlimited number of times.
Want to just peek at the summary from the video? View and enlarge the video “still image”, taken from the end of the animation.
Here are a few sample pages from our digital textbook resource:
Nearly every page contains one or more “Classic Cases”. These highlight the stereotypical symptoms and results for each infectious disease/condition. Of course, not every patient looks like the classic case, but you get the idea …
Organisms are grouped by “class”: (i.e. Gram-positive bacteria, sub-divided into rods and cocci.)
Extensive menus are found at the bottom of each individual organism page.
Body System Pages
Information is also organized by “Body/Organ Systems” or “Special Populations”, easily found via turquoise footer menus.
Within each body/organ system, new menus appear which list the key infectious organisms affecting that body system (or special population, such as neonates).
All pages contain full-text reference links to external, peer-reviewed papers and reviews, and are freely available regardless of your own institution’s library subscription.
Our digital textbook contains nearly a thousand images of infectious organisms and the conditions they cause.
For first and second-year medical students … our question bank contains nearly 400 high-quality Board-Style questions for you to hone your skills. Timed tests, untimed tests, and tutor-mode are all available. Questions can also be filtered by body/organ system to allow you to practice within a single organ system.
You can search for partial or complete terms, words, or phrases, and relevant pages on Microtosis.com containing that term will be returned. This search function also tries its best to offer “did you mean” suggestions, because even we have a hard time spelling Corynebacterium diphtheriae …
