The database consists of diseases, conditions, chemicals, drugs, and toxins that are known to cause medical illness. Each causal element has an associated file for signs, symptoms and findings. This fully referenced source of encoded clinical knowledge used in MDX comes from the world's experts as they transmit their experience in the written word of books and journals.
