Diagnostic criteria and clinical guidelines standardization to automate case ...
This document discusses standardizing clinical guidelines for adverse event classification using the Adverse Event Reporting Ontology (AERO). It describes how AERO encodes guidelines like Brighton Collaboration for diagnosing conditions like anaphylaxis from vaccine reports. It also discusses how AERO can integrate data like classifying reports in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System according to encoded guidelines and linking to other datasets like DrugBank. The goal is automated adverse event diagnosis and integration of reporting data.
Clinical & Molecular Epidemiology
The Clinical and Molecular Epidemiology Shared Resource (CMESR) provides services including the collection, processing, and storage of biological samples and clinical data from various cancer patient populations. It assists with IRB protocols, questionnaire data entry and analysis, and sample and data requests for cancer research. The CMESR is located at the Lombardi Cancer Center and houses samples and data on prostate, head and neck, colon, lung, and breast cancers.

Pathway resources at the rat genome database
The Rat Genome Database provides comprehensive pathway resources including a Pathway Ontology and interactive pathway diagrams. The Pathway Ontology standardizes gene annotations to pathway terms and illustrates relationships between pathway types. Interactive pathway diagrams can be accessed from the database homepage and contain links to gene reports, literature, and other pathways. This allows users to explore how pathways connect and relate to diseases. The database is expanding its pathway coverage to include physiological pathways with dynamic visualization and links to phenotype information.

How to design and conduct a complex literature search
This document provides guidance on how to design and conduct a complex literature search to review information on the use of vedolizumab for Crohn's disease. It outlines researching the question using PICO (population, intervention, comparator, outcome), reviewing background literature like systematic reviews and clinical trials, searching relevant bibliographic databases like Medline and grey literature sources, and provides an example search strategy and results for Medline. The goal is to conduct a thorough search across multiple information sources to identify all relevant evidence on this topic.
research proposal
This document outlines a proposed study to test the hypothesis that people normally judge others based on physical appearance rather than characteristics. A quantitative research method would be used where passersby give their first impressions of participants. The study structure would involve creating a hypothesis, deciding on a research type, listing variables, finalizing participants, planning locations, running the experiment, collecting and organizing data, and making a report. Ethical considerations for the study include participants being honest, having rights to review the process and choose participation, and maintaining privacy rights.
Drug Information Resources
The document lists and describes various drug information resources available at hospitals and through library subscriptions, including Micromedex, Facts & Comparisons, MDConsult, AccessMedicine, DynaMed, StatRef, Goodman & Gilman’s Basic & Clinical Pharmacology, Poisoning and Drug Overdose, and AHFS DI Essentials. It also outlines free internet resources such as the NLM Drug Portal, RxList, Drugs.com, Epocrates Online, and the Johns Hopkins Antibiotic Guide. PDA resources mentioned include Epocrates, MicroMedex/Thomson Clinical Xpert, Tarascon, and Lexi-Drugs.
Drug info resources
The document discusses drug information resources and how to systematically provide responses to drug information requests. It outlines that while the internet has changed how information is accessed, the process of critically evaluating drug information from multiple sources remains important. The systematic approach described helps streamline the search process by using the most recent and up-to-date sources, ensuring information is agreed upon by multiple sources, and presenting information that is relevant to the specific clinical circumstances. Primary sources include clinical trials and journals, secondary sources are indexing and abstracting services, and tertiary sources are textbooks and databases. While the internet expands available information, information found online may not be edited or reliable unless carefully evaluated. General guidelines for responding to requests include not guessing, using multiple sources
How to design and conduct a complex literature search
A complex literature search involves several steps:
1) Defining the research question using PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparator, Outcome);
2) Reviewing background literature such as systematic reviews, HTA reports, and specific databases;
3) Searching information resources including bibliographic databases like Medline and Embase, as well as grey literature from trial registers.
The document provides details on searching Medline to find studies on vedolizumab for Crohn's disease, and emphasizes the importance of searching grey literature since many negative trials are not published.

Cancer Rates on the Decline in the United States
According to a report from the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), cancer death rates in the United States fell by about 1.5% per year for both men and women between 2003 and 2012. Cancer incidence rates also dropped for men and remained stable for women. The declining rates of cancer deaths are attributed to better prevention and earlier detection efforts. However, liver cancer showed the highest increase in both death and incidence rates, with hepatitis C identified as a major factor. The report recommends increased testing for hepatitis C, especially for those born between 1945-1965 who are most at risk.

A Brief Look at the Origins of Hip Hop By Sherif Mohamed El-Refai
Hip hop originated from West African and African American musical traditions and evolved most significantly in the Bronx, New York during the 1970s. Jamaican immigrants brought dub music to the Bronx, characterized by breaks between percussion beats. DJ Kool Herc is credited with inventing hip hop music at a party where he extended breaks on records to allow for longer dancing and began rapping over the music. Block parties in the Bronx helped popularize this new musical form. Over time, MCs began experimenting with beats and lyrics, developing hip hop into one of the most popular modern music genres in America.
