Annotated bibliography of simulations and games in health education.

This annotated bibliography describes 66 simulation games in health education under the headings: diseases; drug use and abuse; ecology; family planning and human sexuality; health care planning; mental health; nursing; nutrition; physical fitness; and safety. Those reviewed are a selection of the more useful games from among a large number available. Few health education games are suitable for classroom use and few include social modeling through simulation. Games in drug education and mental health areas may contain distorted, out-of-date, or false information. Promising areas for development include: aging, venereal disease, sexuality, consumer health, health careers, safety education, and health planning.

An editing environment for DNA sequence analysis and annotation (extended abstract).

This paper presents a computer system for analyzing and annotating large-scale genomic sequences. The core of the system is a multiple-gene structure identification program, which predicts the most "probable" gene structures based on the given evidence, including pattern recognition, EST and protein homology information. A graphics-based user interface provides an environment which allows the user to interactively control the evidence to be used in the gene identification process. To overcome the computational bottleneck in the database similarity search used in the gene identification process, we have developed an effective way to partition a database into a set of sub-databases of "related" sequences, and reduced the search problem on a large database to a signature identification problem and a search problem on a much smaller sub-database. This reduces the number of sequences to be searched from N to O ([square root of] N) on average, and hence greatly reduces the search time, where N is the number of sequences in the original database. The system provides the user with the ability to facilitate and modify the analysis and modeling in real time.

Spirituality and prayer research: a select annotated bibliography.

As the world has become more complex, so too have our ethical conceptualizations about it. In the 1970s, ethical theories and principle-based bioethics dominated. Then clinicians and scholars began to experience the limitations of these two approaches when used alone. In the 1980s, women's voices began to be heard through both feminist ethics and the ethic of care. In addition, virtue ethics and casuistry again gained recognition. During the 1990s and as we are about to enter the 21st century, ethics has expanded to capture the concepts of narrative ethics and spirituality. This select annotated bibliography focuses on spirituality and on prayer research.

The Moebius sequence--report of a case and a short annotation.

A Malay baby with multiple cranial nerve involvement consistent with the Moebius sequence (syndrome) is reported. He also had many non-Central Nervous System (CNS) related defects which include limb reduction defects and the Poland sequence. A short annotation and the spectrum of this disorder are presented. In view of many reported related disorders, Moebius sequence may occur as a part of a broader pattern of malformation.

Automated testing of arrhythmia monitors using annotated databases.

Arrhythmia-algorithm performance is typically tested using the AHA and MIT/BIH databases. The tools for this test are simulation software programs. While these simulations provide rapid results, they neglect hardware and software effects in the monitor. To provide a more accurate measure of performance in the actual monitor, a system has been developed for automated arrhythmia testing. The testing system incorporates an IBM-compatible personal computer, a digital-to-analog converter, an RS232 board, a patient-simulator interface to the monitor, and a multi-tasking software package for data conversion and communication with the monitor. This system "plays" patient data files into the monitor and saves beat classifications in detection files. Tests were performed using the MIT/BIH and AHA databases. Statistics were generated by comparing the detection files with the annotation files. These statistics were marginally different from those that resulted from the simulation. Differences were then examined. As expected, the differences were related to monitor hardware effects.

Communication problems associated with cleft palate and related disorders. Annotated bibliography.

The books in this annotated bibliography were selected because of the general nature of the information that they provide. Most of these books contain bibliographies that include references of a more technical nature should the reader desire such information. These books are available at most university libraries. Additional information can be obtained from brochures and fact sheets published by the Cleft Palate Foundation (1218 Grandview Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15211). These publications were prepared primarily for patients and parents, but can provide useful information to professionals who typically do not work with patients with cleft palate and craniofacial anomalies.

Evaluation of nutrition interventions. An annotated bibliography and review of methodologies and results. Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

1. This is the second edition of an annotated bibliography covering evaluation methodology and evaluations of nutrition interventions. It contains more than 110 items on methodology and around 300 reports describing the results from evaluation studies. Included are most of the 250 items listed in the first edition, which was compiled in 1980, by G.P. Sevenhuysen and Ann Burgess. Almost all the items are available in the FAO libraries in Rome. 2. The most useful of the items are starred and also indexed in Tables 1, 2 or 3. Evaluation methodology 3. There was general agreement in the guidelines on evaluation methodology on the following points: Evaluation should be an integral routine programme activity wherever possible; Field staff must be involved at all stages of the evaluation including interpretation; Results should be rapidly 'fed-back' to allow adaptations to be made to the programme if necessary. 4. Many of the guidelines did not adequately cover the following points: How to conduct both 'operational' and 'impact' evaluation; The importance of taking into account, when designing the evaluation, the needs of the people who will use the results; How to select a representative sample; How to overcome the problem of 'drop-outs'; How to measure 'leakage' of programme inputs; How to control for non-programme variables; How to distinguish among the effects of multiple inputs; How to measure costs and cost-effectiveness; How to ensure data reliability. A review of reports of evaluation studies confirmed that better guidelines are needed in these areas. Evaluation reports 5. In only about one third of the studies examined were sufficient details available for a good assessment to be made of the reliability of the results. 6. Among the problems that made it difficult to assess the value of some of the results were: A lack of specific programme objectives and of baseline data; Inadequate statistical testing of the results; Conclusions based mainly on subjective opinion rather than objective information; A weak data base, due to an unrepresentative sample, a high 'drop-out' rate among the selected sample, or insufficient data collected; A lack of information on the 'dosage' of the input actually reaching the recipients; A lack of information on possible differences in age distribution, and other variables, in the test and control groups; No control of non-programme variables; An evaluation design that did not allow the different contributions of multiple programme inputs to be assessed; No data on costs; Lack of information on which to judge data reliability.

The role of annotated bibliographies in information dissemination.

In July 1982, a comprehensive questionnaire was sent to a random sample of names on the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse (NDIC) mailing list to measure user satisfaction with and use of annotated bibliographies about diabetes topics. The bibliographies are used to learn more about a topic and to locate cited materials. The total number of publications ordered by this sample is 8,857; therefore, an extrapolation from these data suggests that more than 45,000 publications were ordered as a direct result of the citations as the source of information.

A specification for defining and annotating regions of macromolecular structures.

We present a program- and machine-independent standard for annotating macromolecular structures. Data encoded by this specification may be used for communicating information about structures and for exchanging it between different computer systems. The format consists of a set of ASN.1 objects which are mechanically straightforward to parse, but are also easy for humans to create and understand. It differs from all other related standards in that it specifies how a molecule should be displayed without requiring a custom format for the coordinate data.

The SBASE protein domain library, release 3.0: a collection of annotated protein sequence segments.

SBASE 3.0 is the third release of SBASE, a collection of annotated protein domain sequences. SBASE entries represent various structural, functional, ligand-binding and topogenic segments of proteins as defined by their publishing authors. SBASE can be used for establishing domain homologies using different database-search tools such as FASTA [Lipman and Pearson (1985) Science, 227, 1436-1441], and BLAST3 [Altschul and Lipman (1990) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 87, 5509-5513] which is especially useful in the case of loosely defined domain types for which efficient consensus patterns can not be established. The present release contains 41,749 entries provided with standardized names and cross-referenced to the major protein and nucleic acid databanks as well as to the PROSITE catalogue of protein sequence patterns. The entries are clustered into 2285 groups using the BLAST algorithm for computing similarity measures. SBASE 3.0 is freely available on request to the authors or by anonymous 'ftp' file transfer from < ftp.icgeb.trieste.it >. Individual records can be retrieved with the gopher server at < icgeb.trieste.it > and with a www-server at < http:@www.icgeb.trieste.it >. Automated searching of SBASE by BLAST can be carried out with the electronic mail server < sbase@icgeb.trieste.it >. Another mail server < domain@hubi.abc.hu > assigns SBASE domain homologies on the basis of SWISS-PROT searches. A comparison of pertinent search strategies is presented.
