This popular web resource includes over 1900 images along with text, tutorials, laboratory exercises, and examination items for self-assessment that demonstrate gross and microscopic pathologic findings associated with human disease conditions. Content includes pathology cases (surgical pathology, autopsy, cytopathology, forensic pathology, clinical pathology) at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center and affiliated hospitals and laboratories, and from contributors at other institutions worldwide. The content at this web site will assist a medical student in achievement of an important goal: passing step 1 of the USMLE examination required to become licensed as a physician. This site was conceived from the necessity to create useful multimedia teaching resources for medical students at the University of Utah for use in the pathology courses given in the second year of the curriculum.

Software tool for the automatic association analysis among the variation of the patient genomes and the clinical conditions of patients, i.e. the different response to drugs. The system allows: (i) to automatize the workflow of analysis of DMET (drug metabolism enzymes and transporters)-SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) data avoiding the use of multiple tools; (ii) the automatic annotation of DMET-SNP data and the search in existing databases of SNPs (e.g. dbSNP), (iii) the association of SNP with pathway through the search in PharmaKGB, a major knowledge base for pharmacogenomic studies. It has a simple graphical user interface that allows users (doctors/biologists) to upload and analyze DMET files produced by Affymetrix DMET-Console in an interactive way.

Database to retrieve and compare gene expression patterns between animal species. Bgee first maps heterogeneous expression data (currently bulk RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq, Affymetrix, in situ hybridization, and EST data) to anatomy and development of different species. Bgee is based exclusively on curated healthy wild-type expression data (e.g., no gene knock-out, no treatment, no disease), to provide a comparable reference of gene expression.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on February 06, 2013. Per the associated paper, Aguirre GK (2012) FIASCO, VoxBo, and MEDx: behind the code. Neuroimage 62: 765-7, the MedX software was discontinued. The website itself however, looks like you can still buy it (website last updated 2004). Highly optimized, portable, commercial software for the visualization, processing, and analysis of medical images. The packages include: SPM '99, FSL, DICOM Import/Export, ABLe, Functional Data Simulator. Designed especially for medical imaging researchers and system developers, MEDx brings multi-modality, multi-dimensional image processing functionality to the medical imaging research community. With MEDx, users display images and control menus using the industry-standard XWindow display system and Tcl/Tk interface language. MEDx transforms your computer into a powerful image processing workstation that displays, analyzes, and processes your medical image data in a myriad of innovative ways.

The BioCurrents Research Center (BRC) is an integrated technology resource of the NIH:NCRR. The activities of the Center focus on molecular physiology as it relates to the cell function and disease. Our particular interest is how the dynamics of cell responses are reflected in the chemical profiles of microdomains surrounding single living cells. In order to measure complex cellular boundary layers, the BRC has specialized in the development of extremely sensitive signal acquisition and processing methods along with miniaturized electrochemical sensor designs. The technique is non-invasive and termed self-referencing. Since its establishment in 1996, the BRC has directed its technological research and development to the design and application of ultra-microelectrodes (tip diameters of less than 10m) tailored for the detection of specific chemicals. These have been successfully applied to the boundary layer profiles of many different cell types, with thematic strength in diabetes research, reproductive health and development (see collaborative profiles). More recently, it is changing its focus to technical developments, enhancing the integrative approach to cell function. To understand a cell as a dynamic and integrated whole, BRC must be able to examine responses from different domains as near to real time and as synchronously as possible. To this end, it is developing imaging capabilities to work in parallel with electrochemistry and conventional electrophysiological techniques. Imaging includes a spinning disc confocal, as well as a low light/luminescent imager designed and built within the BRC. The technologies developed or under development are in high demand within the biomedical community. Over 40 investigators work with the Center each year in a collaborative or service capacity. Over 80 of our visitor pool is NIH funded, representing approximately 25 NIH divisions and institutes. As part of our training and dissemination program we host occasional workshops at major national and international meetings, train a significant number of new investigators each year and host graduate students undertaking portions of their thesis dissertation using our technologies. In dissemination we advise on, and install, electrochemical systems in off campus research endeavors, both academic and industrial.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 19,2025. Software application that allows the researcher to evaluate evidence for linkage even when heterogeneity is present in a data set. This is not an unusual occurrence when studying diseases of complex origin. Families are ranked by covariate values in order to test evidence for linkage among homogeneous subsets of families. Because families are ranked, a priori covariate cutpoints are not necessary. Covariates may include linkage evidence at other genes, environmental exposures, or biological trait values such as cholesterol, age at onset, and so on.
