[Electronic documentation of injuries of the hand with a semantic network: effective and efficient methods for the documentation of clinical and administrative processes].

BACKGROUND: An efficient medical documentation is mandatory for a trauma-oriented department in the DRG environment. Besides the continuously increasing clinical/administrative demands, the additional documentation for quality assurance, clinical studies, and research requires additional efforts. Standard solutions are only partially effective. Especially in hand surgery there is a high demand for sophisticated clinical documentation, represented by a wide variety of classifications in diagnosis and therapy. The standard documentation tools lack accuracy. The development of a software tool that defines administrative/business processes and simultaneously generates clinical and administrative information was the goal of this project. METHODS AND RESULTS: With a standard medical terminology, an innovative semantic network, and a completely new graphical user interface, it was possible to develop and introduce a software program specifically adjusted for hand surgery. This program facilitated for the first time a single-stage acquisition of clinically relevant scientific data and the simultaneous generation of DRG, quality assurance, and administrative data relevant for the hospital's revenues. CONCLUSIONS: The newly developed software tool is a step forward into a new dimension of medical software, obviating the need for multi/documentation and significantly improving the quality of clinically relevant medical data.

Topographical complexity of multidimensional energy landscapes.

A scheme for visualizing and quantifying the complexity of multidimensional energy landscapes and multiple pathways is presented employing principal component-based disconnectivity graphs and the Shannon entropy of relative "sizes" of superbasins. The principal component-based disconnectivity graphs incorporate a metric relationship between the stationary points of the system, which enable us to capture not only the actual assignment of the superbasins but also the size of each superbasin in the multidimensional configuration space. The landscape complexity measure quantifies the degree of topographical complexity of a multidimensional energy landscape and tells us at which energy regime branching of the main path becomes significant, making the system more likely to be kinetically trapped in local minima. The path complexity measure quantifies the difficulty encountered by the system to reach a connected local minimum by the path in question, implying that the more significant the branching points along the path the more difficult it is to end up in the desired local minimum. As an illustrative example, we apply this analysis to two kinds of small model protein systems exhibiting a highly frustrated and an ideal funnel-like energy landscape.

Expanded protein information at SGD: new pages and proteome browser.

The recent explosion in protein data generated from both directed small-scale studies and large-scale proteomics efforts has greatly expanded the quantity of available protein information and has prompted the Saccharomyces Genome Database (SGD; http://www.yeastgenome.org/) to enhance the depth and accessibility of protein annotations. In particular, we have expanded ongoing efforts to improve the integration of experimental information and sequence-based predictions and have redesigned the protein information web pages. A key feature of this redesign is the development of a GBrowse-derived interactive Proteome Browser customized to improve the visualization of sequence-based protein information. This Proteome Browser has enabled SGD to unify the display of hidden Markov model (HMM) domains, protein family HMMs, motifs, transmembrane regions, signal peptides, hydropathy plots and profile hits using several popular prediction algorithms. In addition, a physico-chemical properties page has been introduced to provide easy access to basic protein information. Improvements to the layout of the Protein Information page and integration of the Proteome Browser will facilitate the ongoing expansion of sequence-specific experimental information captured in SGD, including post-translational modifications and other user-defined annotations. Finally, SGD continues to improve upon the availability of genetic and physical interaction data in an ongoing collaboration with BioGRID by providing direct access to more than 82,000 manually-curated interactions.
