Knowledge representation issues in ontology-based clinical Knowledge Management systems
Clinical Knowledge-Management (KM) represents a specific category of KM that requires specific support. Clinical knowledge mixes formal scientific knowledge with a person-culture in which the expertise of clinicians is key. In KM life-cycles, this entails that the required processes associated to clinical knowledge diverge from other kind of activities. Further, the technological support required ...

Serum 14-3-3η A Predictor Of Secondary Sjögren’s Syndrome In SLE
Do you have a patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that you suspect may also have Sjögren’s Syndrome (SS)? With shared clinical and serological features, overlapping SS with SLE is a comorbidity that is often challenging to identify to promptly assist clinical management. This may also lead to misdiagnoses of other connective tissue disorders. New data on 14-3-3η (eta) ...

Managing clinical knowledge among hospital nurses
Knowledge Management (KM) tools and processes, while established in many industries, are relatively new to healthcare. Healthcare organisations resemble virtual organisations that build flexible and dynamic care networks of multiple medical providers and professionals to address a patient's needs. This research studies the major factors impacting clinical KM strategy and processes in the floor ...

A generic approach to computer-based Clinical Practice Guideline management using the ECA Rule paradigm and active databases
The increasing demand for reduced cost and improved quality of service in healthcare has prompted the call for better management of medical knowledge. The main emphasis has been on knowledge that is acquired through experience and medical research and then formalised into Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs). This paper presents a generic approach to CPG information and knowledge management that ...

SNP Array, A Powerful Tool for Diagnosis and Agrigenomics Research
Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are a kind of DNA polymorphisms caused by single-nucleotide variants in both coding and non-coding regions, which are the most common and smallest variants. There are more than 3 million SNPs in the human genome with an average of 1 in 500-1000 base pairs. SNP microarrays are capable of detecting a large number of subtle DNA alterations and/or abnormal ...

Novel Biomarkers May Help Predict the Susceptibility of a Population to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Genetics (i.e., mutations) are considered to be the main factor predisposing to the etiology of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but they account for only a few changes in RA disease risk, and in contrast to genetics, the environment may have an important impact on epigenetic properties associated with disease etiology. Recently, in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports entitled ...

Achieving CDISC compliance in academia
CDISC compliance is mandatory for clinical trial submissions to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA). The academic world is no exception. In fact, many academic institutions must achieve CDISC compliance in order to be granted funding for clinical research. CDISC standards can seem overwhelming, like a whole new language to be understood ...

Vaccine-induced antibodies target sequestered viral antigens to prevent ocular HSV-1 pathogenesis, preserve vision, and preempt productive neuronal infection
The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...

What causes heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a multifactorial and multisystemic disorder that represents more than 50% of all heart failure cases.[1] Epidemiologic data from the Framingham Study, an international cohort study, shows a rapid increase in the prevalence of HFpEF over the past three decades, from 41% to 56% and, conversely, a decrease in the prevalence of HFrEF from 44% ...
