Both Pneumotox and Cardiotox websites and Apps have been overhauled and are now accessable for free on your computer, Iphone, Ipad or Android device at www.pneumotox.com, www.cardiotox.fr, AppleStore, Googleplay.
The new Pneumotox and Cardiotox websites are online. The corresponding Apps (AppleStore, GooglePlay) can be downloaded from the stores for free onto your Iphone, Ipad, Android smartphone and tablet. With no interfering Ad window, as no unwanted screen between you (the user) and the actual information that may be needed urgently. Both Pneumotox and Cardiotox are monitored and updated daily, according to the constantly emerging literature. Comments are welcome through the contact window. Should you need more information, tailor-made literature searches based on the 50,000+ references stored in the Pneumotox repository, please feel free to ask. For questions and issues about a case (diagnosis, imaging, pathology, management, rechallenge), I can be contacted 7/7 nearly any clock time. My kind regards. Philippe Camus MD Prof./Pneumotox.
Message from the founder accompanying the overhaul and refurbishment of Pneumotox and Cardiotox (websites and Apps).
Dear colleagues, dear friends, dear Pneumotox and Cardiotox users,I transferred the chairmanship of my Division to retire partly, still joyfully practicing as a consulting hospital-based pulmonary physician near Dijon (Eastern France).During the past decade, an ever increasing but heterogenous body of literature on drug-induced respiratory and cardiac toxicity has emerged. This literature has been surveyed daily and evaluated for causality for over four decades now. Pneumotox service started in 1997. Pneumotox was updated 870-fold in the pasr 14 years.Large pharmacovigilance databases have shed some light on DIRD in real life. AI may emerge as a significant servant and contributor in the daily approach of this topic.Beside surveying the literature, steering Pneumotox was a daily and multifaceted challenge. Since Pneumotox was built to be free for all, funding was and remains a challenge. A ‘Wish to Donate” link was for the first time added on the frontpage. No least were technological issues and advancements in computer and web science, requiring Pneumotox to be extensively overhauled to a new, more stable and secured environment. Short of being upgraded or rebuilt, websites can get vulnerable. As you noticed, technological obsolescence led to the shutdown of both Pneumotox and Cardiolox Apps (Apologies for that). The new Apps have been carefully rebuilt and rejuvenated. They are now back at your fingertips.Thank to a team of talented people at Akyos Communication in Dijon, Pneumotox data and files were retrieved, compiled, synched, merged and secured in a safe backup that is updated and saved daily. Pneumotox and Cardiotox websites had their graphic redesigned while staying inspired by the previous version, a sort of ‘soft transition’. Previous features were maintained as new ones were added and others are being developed.As a safeguard, the previous version of Pneumotox (2.2) is conserved, maintained and secured as a safe background resource. The physical literature of the ‘good ole days’ and pdf files are safely stored.I will invite distinguished colleagues to join me in an International Pneumotox Monitoring and Scientific Board, to ensure the maintenance, development, progress and funding of iatrogenic science.Should you need, I encourage you to contact me, wishing Pneumotox will meet your expectations in terms of quality, reliability, updated state, and hopefully excellence in the foreseable future. As ever prior, Pneumotox will stay free, ad-free and independent. I continue surveying the literature carefully, answering personally any query including rechallenge data when available 7/365. Until new hands possibly take over.Thank you very much for your trust.My warmest regards.Philippe Camus MD - Pneumotox
All 1740+ suspected/implicated drugs and agents will be checked out, one by one, from A to Z for accuracy, currency and base of evidence.
1740+ drugs will be ckecked, 840 patterns will be verified again, 11,000+ references will be reassessed and updated. Should you see anything that needs be amended or any piece of information missing, please be kind enough to notify me. So as Pneumotox nears the best possible stage we all look for.
The propagation period of the database through and within the servers seems now well completed and stabile. We do our best to have everything working flawlessly. Your comments for improvement or new functions are welcome anytime.
