THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. The Movement Disorder Virtual University is the healthcare professional's source for movement disorder news, resources and educational activities. MDVU is brought to you by WE MOVE, a not-for-profit organization that has been educating and informing the movement disorder community for over a decade. WE MOVE believes that increased knowledge and understanding promote timely, accurate diagnosis and up-to-date treatment, resulting in a better quality of life for individuals affected by movement disorders. Educational Programs and Resources for Professionals WE MOVE's mission is to facilitate the communication of emerging clinical advances and therapeutic approaches to the management and treatment of movement disorders. Through its award-winning, HON-compliant Web site and as an accredited provider of continuing medical education (CME), WE MOVE strives to meet the educational needs of providers. WE MOVE develops up-to-date training programs and comprehensive, interactive teaching materials to assist professionals in deepening their understanding of neurologic movement disorders, their pathophysiology, etiology, differential diagnosis and state-of-the-art interventions. Case-based Learning (CBL) WE MOVE Case-based Learning (CBL) modules provide an environment that allows for participative learning a well-recognized tool to facilitate the adult learning experience. This self-paced, private learning environment encourages physicians to employ a problem-solving approach, walking step-by-step through the case history, family history, and symptomatology of the patient featured in the case. WE MOVE CBL modules illustrate the diagnostic process and varied approaches to treatment utilized by the thought leader who submitted the case, an invaluable experience for physicians looking to expand their expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of movement disorders. The depth of the WE MOVE CBL learning technology allows each case to highlight treatment of certain aspects of the condition or the efficacy of a given treatment regimen at different stages of disorder progression further enriching the physician's learning experience. For therapies requiring specific expertise in administration (e.g., injectable therapies), video footage of the therapeutic procedure itself enhances the depth of the experience. Co-location of WE MOVE CBL modules within the MDVU creates an unrivaled learning environment for physician education. WE MOVE CBL modules are available at no charge to physicians, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The European Union is a unique economic and political partnership between 27 European countries. It has delivered half a century of peace, stability, and prosperity, helped raise living standards, launched a single European currency, and is progressively building a single Europe-wide market in which people, goods, services, and capital move among Member States as freely as within one country. The EU provides funding and grants for a broad range of projects and programs. The EU was created in the aftermath of the second world war. The first steps were to foster economic cooperation: countries that trade with one another are economically interdependent and will thus avoid conflict. Since then, the union has developed into a huge single market with the euro as its common currency. What began as a purely economic union has evolved into an organization spanning all areas, from development aid to environmental policy.

The Human Cancer Pathway Protein Interaction Network (HCPIN) was constructed as a step toward better integrating protein three-dimensional (3D) structural information in cancer systems biology. It was constructed by analysis of several classical cancer-associated signaling pathways and their physical protein-protein interactions. The HCPIN Website provides a comprehensive description of this biomedically important multipathway network together with experimental and homology models of HCPIN proteins useful for cancer biology research.

Database of crystallographic information. Its membership includes crystallographic service facilities (that analyze crystals submitted by research chemists) located at major universities. These labs analyze anywhere from a few dozen to several hundred molecular structures each year and post the data online for the public to access. A distributed database engine takes care of shuttling this data across the Internet so that every structure can be located by the search engine. There may be a delay of a year or more between the time a structure is first analyzed and the time it finally becomes available for the public to see. This is due to intellectual property issues - the intervening time allows the chemists who first discovered the structure to publish it in a trade journal.

Consumers Union (CU) is an expert, independent, nonprofit organization whose mission is to work for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves. The organization was founded in 1936 when advertising first flooded the mass media. Consumers lacked a reliable source of information they could depend on to help them distinguish hype from fact and good products from bad ones. Since then CU has filled that vacuum with a broad range of consumer information. To maintain its independence and impartiality, CU accepts no outside advertising and no free samples and employs several hundred mystery shoppers and technical experts to buy and test the products it evaluates. The organization generates more than $200 million in revenue, and a staff totaling more than 600 work at CU''s 50 state-of-the-art labs and offices in Yonkers, N.Y.; its 327-acre Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Conn.; and our three advocacy offices, in Washington, D.C., Austin, Texas, and San Francisco. Consumers Union is governed by a board of 18 directors who are elected by CU members and meet three times a year

This website is an invitation. an invitation to join scientists and stakeholders in an effort to review the scientific basis of traditional toxicological risk assessment, to provide the toxicological community with the tools it needs to efficiently and transparently judge risks of a diversifying nature and to make toxicology thus fit to meet the challenges of the 21st century. an invitation to participate in the inception and continuous implementation of a new movement in toxicology that aims at adopting an evidence-based approach. an invitation to help bridging the gap between modern toxicological science and risk assessment in order to exploit the wealth of information from new technologies in modern life sciences & toxicological research and to arrive at informed, transparent, judicious and conscientious decisions made on the basis of all evidence available. an invitation to develop a framework that allows combining precious expert insight grown over years of practical experience with structured approaches in basic science, in method assessment and in decision-making. Such evidence-based toxicology might help to make the best possible use of all sources of evidence in an efficient, productive, reliable, acceptable and transparent manner. Why do we need evidence-based toxicology (EBT)? Toxicology and the delivery of effective safety assessment critically relies on concepts and understanding generated by basic scientific research and must therefore adapt constantly to advances in knowledge. However, particularly from the perspective of regulatory toxicology, some of the assessment paradigms and methodologies were established decades ago and have changed little in response to scientific progress. At the same time, changes in our understanding of human disease, changes in the types of product now requiring safety assessment, and changes in the legislative landscape and public expectations pose significant challenges for industry, academia and regulators alike. It is necessary to challenge the status quo and ensure that as a matter of course best scientific practice and technical sophistication is reflected in safety assessment practices such that current and future challenges can be met. It is important therefore to ensure that structures are available that will encourage, facilitate and support a process of critical appraisal and renewal of the toxicological repertoire available for safety assessment. Part of this process is to embrace evidence-based toxicology such that the best possible scientific evidence is applied to judge product safety and likely risks to human health.
