Info
A JavaScript/TypeScript library containing small tools potentially
useful to Dermatologists.
Currently created as a toy project,
also serving the purpose of being a learning experience, therefore use with
care and at your own risk - should you do so.
Sample of the library's functions:
brandUnits: accepts one of three botulinum toxin brand names
("botox", "dysport", "bocouture") and returns their units per vialsyringeUnits: accepts one of the above brand names, a dilution
volume in mL (eg 2.5), and a syringe volume in mL (eg 0.5). It returns
the total Units in the syringe, for that botulinum toxin brand with
the specified dilution when preparing it.pasi: accepts 4 arrays of 4 numbers each, an array for each body region
(head/neck, arms, trunk, legs). Each array's first 3 numbers must be from
0-4, representing severity of erythema, induration, and desquamation. The
4th number must be from 0-6 and is the point(s) for the percentage of the
area affected, for the respective body region. The function returns the
total PASI score, a number (it may need rounding down the decimals, left
to the library consumer to do if he wishes).parkland: for burn injury patients, returns the approximate amount of
fluids, in liters, that he/she needs in the first 24 hours, depending on his/her weight and the body surface area percentage injured (uses the Parkland Formula).
More utilities and calculators will be added in time.
Installing the library
npm install @dtsaknakis/dermtools # or npm i @dtsaknakis/dermtools
# Or as a dev dependency
npm install --save-dev @dtsaknakis/dermtools # npm i -D @dtsaknakis/dermtools
Example usage
Using CommonJS:
const { brandUnits, syringeUnits } = require("@dtsaknakis/dermtools");
const botoxUnits = brandUnits("botox"); // 100
const mySyringeUnits = syringeUnits("dysport", 2.0, 0.5); // 125
Using ES6 imports:
import { brandUnits, syringeUnits } from "@dtsaknakis/dermtools";
const botoxUnits = brandUnits("botox"); // 100
const mySyringeUnits = syringeUnits("dysport", 2.0, 0.5); // 125
