Data and knowledge management infrastructure for the new Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) at the University of Utah. This clinical cohort search tool is used to search across the University of Utah clinical data warehouse and the Utah Population Database for people who satisfy various criteria of the researchers. It uses the i2b2 front end but has a set of terminology servers, metadata servers and federated query tool as the back end systems. FURTHeR does on-the-fly translation of search terms and data models across the source systems and returns a count of results by unique individuals. They are extending the set of databases that can be queried.

Software application that supports the execution of multivariable prediction models with patient-specific characteristics so that personalized estimates of outcomes, often as a function of alternative treatments, can be generated within the routine flow of patient care. This can support evidence-based, shared medical decision-making to improve the safety, outcomes and cost-effectiveness of care. The current application is in the setting of generating individualized informed consent documents for PCI. However, the tool can support that translation of novel biomarkers, genetics and pharmacogenomic interactions into clinical care. The platform gives healthcare providers instantaneous access to the latest clinical prediction models coupled with rich visualization tools. These models may come from national organizations, outcomes researchers or a specific institution. In addition to decision support applications, it can be used to rapidly create personalized educational materials, patient letters, informed consent documents and a broad array of other items that can help elevate the quality of healthcare delivery.

An open-source natural language processing system for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. This is a system through which one creates one or more pipelines to process clinical notes and to identify clinical named entities. It processes clinical notes, identifying types of clinical named entities, drugs, diseases/disorders, signs/symptoms, anatomical sites and procedures. Each named entity that is found is given attributes for the text span, the ontology mapping code, the context (family history of, current, unrelated to patient), and negated/not negated. cTAKES is built on the UIMA framework. cTAKES 2.5 does not provide a GUI of its own for installation or processing. The cTAKES documentation shows how to use the GUIs provided by the UIMA framework, and how to run cTAKES from a command line. Before using cTAKES you need to know that cTAKES does not provide any mechanisms of its own to handle patient data securely. It is assumed that cTAKES is installed on a system that can process patient data, or that any data being processed by cTAKES has already been through a deidentification step in order to comply with any applicable laws. The tool has been developed and deployed at Mayo Clinic since early 2000.

Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) calculators to estimate kidney function for adults (MDRD GFR Calculator) and children (Schwartz GFR Calculator). In adults, the recommended equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine is the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) Study equation. The IDMS-traceable version of the MDRD Study equation is used. Currently the best equation for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) from serum creatinine in children is the Bedside Schwartz equation for use with creatinine methods with calibration traceable to IDMS. Using the original Schwartz equation with a creatinine value from a method with calibration traceable to IDMS will overestimate GFR.

Standard specification to reduce inter-laboratory variation in creatinine assay calibration and therefore enable more accurate estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Created by NKDEP''''s Laboratory Working Group in collaboration with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the European Communities Confederation of Clinical Chemistry (now called the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine), the effort is part of a larger NKDEP initiative to help health care providers better identify and treat chronic kidney disease in order to prevent or delay kidney failure and improve patient outcomes. Recommendations are intended for the USA and other countries or regions that have largely completed standardization of creatinine calibration to be traceable to an isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) reference measurement procedure. The program''''s focus is to facilitate the sharing of information to assist in vitro diagnostic manufacturers, clinical laboratories, and others in the laboratory community with calibrating their serum creatinine measurement procedures to be traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). The program also supports manufacturers'''' efforts to encourage their customers in the laboratory to coordinate use of standardized creatinine methods with implementation of a revised GFR estimating equation appropriate for use with standardized creatinine methods. Communication resources and other information for various segments of the laboratory community are available in the Creatinine Standardization Recommendations section of the website. Also available is a protocol for calibrating creatinine measurements using whole blood devices. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released a standard reference material (SRM 967 Creatinine in Frozen Human Serum) for use in establishing calibrations for routine creatinine measurement procedures. SRM 967 was validated to be commutable with native serum samples for many routine creatinine procedures and is useful to establish or verify traceability to an IDMS reference measurement procedure. Establishing calibrations for serum creatinine methods using SRM 967 not only provides a mechanism for ensuring more accurate measurement of serum creatinine, but also enables more accurate estimates of GFR. For clinical laboratories interested in independently checking the calibration supplied by their creatinine reagent suppliers/manufacturers, periodic measurement of NIST SRM 967 should be considered for inclusion in the lab''''s internal quality assurance program. To learn more about SRM 967, including how to purchase it, visit the NIST website, https://www-s.nist.gov/srmors/quickSearch.cfm

Images and movies of plant organelle dynamics that were obtained from plant research, based on the Plant Organelles Database. This educational tool is written in layman''''s terms to engage members of the non-scientific community such as students and school teachers. Additional content: ''''What happens, if organelle functions become defective '''' was added in anticipation that readers will be interested in this subject. The Scientific Research of Priority Areas on Organelle Differentiation as the Strategy for Environmental Adaptation in Plants was started on 2004 to promote a comprehensive understanding of plant organelle research, and research with plant scientists all over Japan has been conducted for the past five years. The Plant Organelles Database (PODB), which contains images and movies of various plant organelles that were obtained from this project''''s research was constructed but was designed for scientists. ''''The Plant Organelles World'''' was created for the non-scientific community to understand. Plants have developed mechanisms to adapt to the environment, which is different from the mammalian system of adaption. From recent plant research, the small compartments in cells, ''''organelles'''', have been shown to be involved in various responses to environmental changes. The dramatic development of bio-imaging analysis tools such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), which won a Nobel prize for chemistry in 2008, has contributed to recent plant science, because it has become easier to biotechnologically introduce GFP and its derivatives into cells, leading to convenient methods of observing the inside of cells. As a result, we can analyze organelle dynamics and obtain insights related to understanding the way plants live, as well as forming a deeper understanding of organelles.
