Using text generation to access clinical data in a variety of contexts.

MedView is a joint project with participants from oral medicine and computer science. The aim of the project is to build a large database from patient examinations and produce computerised tools to access data in various ways. One way to access data is to read case descriptions generated from stored cases. We give a description of how documents are generated from data and how these are used in a variety of contexts to supply useful information.

SNOMAD (Standardization and NOrmalization of MicroArray Data): web-accessible gene expression data analysis.

SNOMAD is a collection of algorithms for the normalization and standardization of gene expression datasets derived from diverse biological and technological sources. In addition to conventional transformations and visualization tools, SNOMAD includes two non-linear transformations which correct for bias and variance which are non-uniformly distributed across the range of microarray element signal intensities: (1). Local mean normalization; and (2). Local variance correction (Z-score generation using a locally calculated standard deviation).

Accessing remote data bases using microcomputers.

General practitioners' access to remote data bases using microcomputers is increasing, making even the most obscure information readily available. Some of the systems available to general practitioners in the UK are described and the methods of access are outlined. General practitioners should be aware of the advances in technology; data bases are increasing in size, the cost of access is falling and their use is becoming easier.

Developing a relational XML schema for sharing HIV clinical data.

Access to multi-site clinical data regarding treatment and outcomes of HIV-infected patients in routine care is required to support clinical research to improve the treatment of HIV. As part of the NIAID-funded CFAR Network of Integrated Clinical Systems (CNICS), we have developed a relational XML Schema to extend the existing observational research repository and to integrate real-time clinical information from electronic medical records (EMRs) at six Centers for AIDS Research (CFAR) into the repository. The schema will aid the expansion of the research repository beyond the initial sites, and the development process may facilitate the use of multi-site repositories to study other chronic diseases.

Reducing duplicate patient creation using a probabilistic matching algorithm in an open-access community data sharing environment.

In an open-access community data sharing environment, Intermountain Health Care (IHC) is managing the creation of duplicate patient records through a probabilistic matching algorithm that allows the threshold limits for the returned set to be dynamically assigned to the source system. For internal hospital systems, the rate of duplicate creation was cut 30% in the first 6 months. For IHC's first community data sharing partner, the rate of duplicate creation has been maintained below the acceptable range for the internal Health Plans rate.

Photochemical surface mapping of C14S-Sml1p for constrained computational modeling of protein structure.

Photochemically generated hydroxyl radicals were used to map solvent-exposed regions in the C14S mutant of the protein Sml1p, a regulator of the ribonuclease reductase enzyme Rnr1p in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. By using high-performance mass spectrometry to characterize the oxidized peptides created by the hydroxyl radical reactions, amino acid solvent-accessibility data for native and denatured C14S Sml1p that revealed a solvent-excluding tertiary structure in the native state were obtained. The data on solvent accessibilities of various amino acids within the protein were then utilized to evaluate the de novo computational models generated by the HMMSTR/Rosetta server. The top five models initially generated by the server all disagreed with both published nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) data and the solvent-accessibility data obtained in this study. A structural model adjusted to fit the previously reported NMR data satisfied most of the solvent-accessibility constraints. Through minor adjustment of the rotamers of two amino acid side chains for this latter structure, a model that not only provided a lower energy conformation but also completely satisfied previously reported data from NMR and tryptophan fluorescence measurements, in addition to the solvent-accessibility data presented here, was generated.

[A compressed form for presenting data to banks on the primary and spatial structure of biopolymers. Means for accessing compressed data banks].

Description of open CAN format (Compressed Amino acids and Nucleotides) is presented for storing genetic information in compressed form in data banks (DB). Data compression principles are demonstrated in detail on examples of EMBL DB (sequences of nucleotides), SWISSPROT DB (sequences of amino acids) and PDB DB (3D structures). A unified compressed data format provides a possibility to integrate EMBL, SWISSPROT, and PDB DB in one data bank. We are going to use this approach for integration of GENBANK and other similar DBs. One of the outcomes of the research is a library of data retrieval procedures for access to DB, providing developers of the application software packages with a uniform interface to DBs with biologically related data. The proposed scheme for data representation was recommended by the Expert Commission of the Informatics Section of the RSSIP "Human Genome" as a standard for distribution of data banks in Russia.

Wireless and PDA: a novel strategy to access DICOM-compliant medical data on mobile devices.

The medical procedures at the patient bedside are out of the scope of current HIS/RIS systems, which means that patient record and image data access during the medical visit or the execution, recording and confirmation of the medicine prescriptions, still do not enjoy computerized support. As a consequence, the necessary inclusion of new data to the patient record, still needs to be carried out through notations on paper and later typed, causes delays on the availability of this information (Mobile computing in a hospital: the Ward-In-Hand project. SAC 2000-ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Março, 2000, Villa Olmo, Como, Italy). This paper presents a software technology where the medical and nursing staff will be equipped with a handheld computer connected by radio to a central server that provides access to the electronic patient records and that will actively inform about tasks pending distribution. The server acts as a database for multimodal electronic patient record information, storing patient data from computerized tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US), magnetic resonance (MRI) images and also medical findings, observations and prescriptions coded as DICOM Structured Reports (Digital Image and Communications in Medicine). The prototype described in this article implements a medical images and structured reports server that makes the search and recovery of data stored in the DICOM standard possible.

IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database.

IMGT, the international ImMunoGeneTics database, is an integrated database specializing in immunoglobulins, T-cell receptors (TcR) and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of all vertebrate species, initiated and co-ordinated by Marie-Paule Lefranc, CNRS, Montpellier II University, Montpellier, France (lefranc@ligm.crbm.cnrs-mop.fr). IMGT includes two databases: LIGM-DB (for immunoglobulins and TcR) and MHC/HLA-DB. IMGT comprises expertly annotated sequences and alignment tables. LIGM-DB contains more than 19 000 immunoglobulin and TcR sequences from 78 species. MHC/HLA-DB contains class I and class II human leukocyte antigen alignment tables. An IMGT tool, DNAPLOT, developed for immunoglobulins, TcR and MHC sequence alignments, is also available. IMGT works in close collaboration with the EMBL database. IMGT goals are to establish a common data access to all immunogenetics data, including sequences, oligonucleotide primers, gene maps and other genetic data of immunoglobulins, TcR and MHC molecules, and to provide a graphical user-friendly data access. IMGT will have important implications in medical research (repertoire in autoimmune diseases, AIDS, leukemias, lymphomas), therapeutical approaches (antibody engineering), genome diversity and genome evolution studies. IMGT can be accessed at http://imgt.cnusc.fr:8104 and http://www.ebi.ac.uk/IMGT
