Finding genomic ontology terms in text using evidence content.

BACKGROUND: The development of text mining systems that annotate biological entities with their properties using scientific literature is an important recent research topic. These systems need first to recognize the biological entities and properties in the text, and then decide which pairs represent valid annotations. METHODS: This document introduces a novel unsupervised method for recognizing biological properties in unstructured text, involving the evidence content of their names. RESULTS: This document shows the results obtained by the application of our method to BioCreative tasks 2.1 and 2.2, where it identified Gene Ontology annotations and their evidence in a set of articles. CONCLUSION: From the performance obtained in BioCreative, we concluded that an automatic annotation system can effectively use our method to identify biological properties in unstructured text.

Mining protein function from text using term-based support vector machines.

BACKGROUND: Text mining has spurred huge interest in the domain of biology. The goal of the BioCreAtIvE exercise was to evaluate the performance of current text mining systems. We participated in Task 2, which addressed assigning Gene Ontology terms to human proteins and selecting relevant evidence from full-text documents. We approached it as a modified form of the document classification task. We used a supervised machine-learning approach (based on support vector machines) to assign protein function and select passages that support the assignments. As classification features, we used a protein's co-occurring terms that were automatically extracted from documents. RESULTS: The results evaluated by curators were modest, and quite variable for different problems: in many cases we have relatively good assignment of GO terms to proteins, but the selected supporting text was typically non-relevant (precision spanning from 3% to 50%). The method appears to work best when a substantial set of relevant documents is obtained, while it works poorly on single documents and/or short passages. The initial results suggest that our approach can also mine annotations from text even when an explicit statement relating a protein to a GO term is absent. CONCLUSION: A machine learning approach to mining protein function predictions from text can yield good performance only if sufficient training data is available, and significant amount of supporting data is used for prediction. The most promising results are for combined document retrieval and GO term assignment, which calls for the integration of methods developed in BioCreAtIvE Task 1 and Task 2.

Evolution in the body of HIV nursing knowledge.

The role nurses occupy in the care of the HIV/AIDS affected has evolved over time. This evolution is exhibited in the body of nursing knowledge and is recorded in the published literature. The purpose of this study was to describe landmarks in the evolution of nursing's involvement in the provision of care to HIV/AIDS patients and to examine the body of nursing knowledge relative to HIV/AIDS, employing bibliometric analytic techniques. It was expected that the literature would grow in both breadth and depth concurrent with nursing's increased role in caring for those infected, or at risk for infection, with HIV.

Brandon/Hill selected list of print books and journals in allied health.

This list of 424 books and 77 journals is intended as a selection guide for print literature to be used in a library supporting allied health educational programs or allied health personnel in either an academic or health care setting. Because of the impossibility of covering the large number and wide variety of allied health professions and occupations, the recommended publications are focused primarily on the educational programs listed and recognized by the American Medical Association and other accrediting bodies. Books and journals are categorized by subject; the book list is followed by an author/editor index, and the subject list of journals by an alphabetical title listing. Items suggested for initial purchase (167 books and 31 journals) are indicated by asterisks. To purchase the entire collection of books and journals (2000 subscriptions) would require an expenditure of about $31,970. The cost of only the asterisked items totals $12,515.

Three xenon texts.

The few Byzantine medical texts whose titles or contents associate them with the xenon repay close study for what they reveal about that institution as well as about the transmission of medical knowledge in the late Byzantine period. This paper examines common passages in three xenon texts, codd.Vat. gr. 292 and 299 and Laur 75.19. It argues from the evidence of these and other texts that the xenon and its medical staff contributed not only to the preservation and transmission of the medical corpus, but also to that of the craft medical texts of the late Byzantine period.

[Concerning the significance of seranu in Mesopotamian medical texts: a question of anatomy].

This study tries to elucidate the meaning of an anatomical word, seranu in Mesopotamia. The first meaning of this term is sinew. It was used by craftsmen to make ropes. Then this word is given to ropes. Exorcists and doctors named anatomical structures (sinew, vessels, nerves) by this word. I tried to establish which structure was really meant, using our knowledge of anatomy and pathology.

Integration of textual guideline documents with formal guideline knowledge bases.

Numerous approaches have been proposed to integrate the text of guideline documents with guideline-based care systems. Current approaches range from serving marked up guideline text documents to generating advisories using complex guideline knowledge bases. These approaches have integration problems mainly because they tend to rigidly link the knowledge base with text. We are developing a bridge approach that uses an information retrieval technology. The new approach facilitates a versatile decision-support system by using flexible links between the formal structures of the knowledge base and the natural language style of the guideline text.

Changes in the prosthodontic literature 1966 to 2042.

PURPOSE: To describe the growth and content of the prosthodontic literature over the last 4 decades, to make a prognosis on its probable development in the coming 4 decades and to discuss changes in the content of the International Journal of Prosthodontics (IJP) from its start in 1988 to 2004. METHODS: MEDLINE was searched for articles on prosthodontics published between 1966 and April 2004. All volumes of IJP were examined with respect to type, subject area and geographic origin of articles. RESULTS: Using the term "prosthodontics," the MEDLINE search produced 66,600 hits. The proportion of clinical studies increased from 1% during the first 10-year period to 13% since 2001. Articles on removable dentures decreased during the period reviewed, whereas those on implant prosthodontics increased. Randomized controlled trials were rare and often of inadequate quality. Literature reviews have become popular, but many do not follow current guidelines for systematic reviews. A marked change in geographic origin of articles in IJP has occurred, with a decrease in material from North America and an increase in that from Europe and Asia. The Internet and open-access publishing will probably have a great impact on the future development of the prosthodontic literature. CONCLUSIONS: Substantial changes have occurred in the prosthodontic literature between 1966 and 2004, and they can be expected to continue with the rapid development of information technology and increased use of the Internet.

[Pharmaceutical literature in the library of the Kuks Hospice I. A contribution to the history of the hospital pharmacy of the Brethern of Mercy called "The Pomegranate" at Kuks].

During the research of the history of the Baroque pharmacy of the Merciful Brethern at the Kuks Hospice (Eastern Bohemia), established in 1743, and its professional standard, pharmaceutical literature was found at the preserved hospice library. The present author first focused on the existence of basic, obligatory literature: dispensatories, tariffs of medicaments, and juridical literature (pharmaceutical laws). There survived a small number of these books because many books were destroyed during various wars. The following dispensatories (pharmacopoeias) were found: Dispensarorium pharmaceuticum Austriaco-Viennense 1729/1738, Dispensatorium Regium et Electorale Borusso-Brandenburgicum 1744, Dispensatorium pharmaceuticum Pragensae renovatum 1750, Pharmacopoea Austriaco-provincialis 1774, 1775, 1790, 1794 (including a critical commentary by Z. G. Huszty 1797), The Military Dispensatory 1795, Pharmacopoea Austriaca 1812, 1814 and 1855. There are a few books of the tariffs of medicaments (only from 1795, 1816 and 1866) and juridical literature. These dispensatories (and their occurrence) will be useful for an analysis of laboratory preparation and supplying this pharmacy. A few illustrations of pharmaceutical literature, found bookplates, and a print of a painting of Count F. A. Sporck are attached.
