THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented July 5, 2018. A national center for biospecimen science and standards to advance cancer research and treatment. It was created in response to the critical and growing need for high-quality, well-documented biospecimens for cancer research. The initiative builds on resources already developed by the NCI, including the Biospecimen Research Network and the NCI Best Practices for Biospecimen Resources, both of which were developed to address challenges around standardization of the collection and dissemination of quality biospecimens. caHUB will develop the infrastructure for collaborative biospecimen research and the production of evidence-based biospecimen standard operating procedures.

A face-to-face household survey of assessing the prevalence of mental health disorders in a probability sample of 3005 adolescents aged 12-17 years residing in the Mexico City metropolitan area during 2005. The prevalence of mental health disorders and the use of services were assessed with the computer-assisted adolescent version of the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview.

Citation-ranked antibody search engine that provides a simple way to find antibodies that work. They use the number of citations as a transparent method to rank antibodies. Nobody can pay to be ranked higher. They are always looking for more commercial and academic antibodies to make CiteAb better. There is no charge to list.

An open source MATLAB toolbox designed for detecting and quantifying White Matter Hyperintensities(WMH) in Alzheimer?s and aging related neurological disorders.Our toolbox provides a self-sufficient set of tools for segmenting these WMHs reliably and further quantifying their burden for down-processing studies. WMHs arise as bright regions on T2-weighted FLAIR images. They reflect comorbid neural injury or cerebral vascular disease burden. Their precise detection is of interest in Alzheimer?s disease (AD) with regard to its prognosis.

A Diffusion Tensor fiber tracking software suite that includes streamline tracking tools. The fiber tracking includes a guided tracking tool that integrates apriori information into a streamlines algorithm. This suite of programs is built using the NA-MIC toolkit and uses the Slicer3 execution model framework to define the command line arguments. These tools can be fully integrated with Slicer3 using the module discovery capabilities of Slicer3. NOTE: All new development is being managed in a github repository.

Supplies a complete multi-function data and video processing USB peripheral for vision research. In addition to a dual-display video processor, the DATAPixx includes an array of peripherals which often need to be synchronized to video during an experiment, including a stereo audio stimulator, a button box port for precise reaction-time measurement, triggers for electrophysiology equipment, and even a complete analog I/O subsystem. Because we implemented the video controller and peripheral control on the same circuit board, you can now successfully synchronize all of your subject I/O to video refresh with microsecond precision.

Group ICA (Independent Component Analysis) was used to generate spatial templates for 12 common resting-state networks in 62 typically-developing children, ages 9-15. They have made these available for those that will find them useful for masking and spatial template matching procedures. Basic demographic data on the sample is provided along with the protocol used to generate the templates.

VIEWPixx /3D (VPixx Technologies) is a 1920x1080 resolution, 120 Hz, calibrated research-grade LCD monitor. It is designed for stereoscopic (3D) stimulus presentation and other high-dynamic vision-science paradigms where deterministic timing and synchronized I/O are critical. It pairs fast-response industrial TN LCD glass with a custom VPixx panel/video controller and a scanning direct-RGB LED backlight engineered to reduce motion artifacts/ghosting/crosstalk, and to improve spatial uniformity, while bypassing consumer “enhancement” processing for predictable experimental output. For stereoscopic workflows, VIEWPixx /3D supports 120 Hz frame-sequential 3D (60 Hz/eye) when used with 3DPixx active shutter glasses (RF emitter + glasses kit), and it can provide a dual-link DVI console output to mirror the participant's view without adding GPU load. The system is also a synchronized display + acquisition toolbox: integrated button-box interface, 24-channel TTL triggers, stereo audio I/O, and a full analog I/O subsystem are implemented on the same board as video control to enable microsecond-precision synchronization to video refresh—useful for EEG triggers, reaction-time tasks, and other timing-sensitive paradigms.In terms of bit depth, the VIEWPixx /3D is native 8 bits per colour, with support fot 10-bit resolution per RGB channel via custom video modes.

Software tools optimized for performing univariate and multivariate imaging genetics analyses while providing practical correction strategies for multiple testing. The goal of this project is to merge two important research directions in modern science, genetics and neuroimaging. This entails combining modern statistical genetic methods and quantitative phenotyping performed with high dimensional neuroimaging modalities. So far, however, standard imaging tools are unable to deal with large-scale genetics data, and standard genetics tools, in turn, are unable to accommodate large size and binary format of the image data. Their focus is to create imaging genetics tools for classical genetic and epigenetic epidemiological analyses such as heritability, pleiotropy, quantitative trait loci (QTL) and genome-wide association (GWAS), gene expression, and methylation analyses optimized for traits derived from structural and functional brain imaging data

Spm-toolbox that performs region of interest (ROI)-level and voxel-level between-subjects analyses of functional MRI data, restricting the analyses to those areas identified using subject-specific functional localizers. Methods: The toolbox implements ROI-level and voxel-level analyses, and it implements an automatic cross-validation procedure when the localizers are not orthogonal to the effects-of-interest. ROI-level analyses allow manually defined parcels of interest, as well as automatically-defined ones (GcSS procedure, Fedorenko et al. 2010). General linear model second-level analyses are implemented, including ReML and OLS estimation of population level effects. Hypothesis testing includes standard univariate tests as well as multivariate tests for mixed within- and between-subject designs (T, F, and Wilks' lambda statistics) This toolbox requires Matlab and SPM5/SPM8.

A core facility in the Center for Pharmacoepidemiology Research and Training created to foster epidemiologic research into therapeutics, using large population-based automated claims databases (Medicaid/Medicare) and medical records databases (GPRD and THIN), and the FDA''s adverse event reporting system (FAERS) database. Goals: * Encourage investigators with diverse training to conduct studies focused on translational therapeutics and drug safety * Provide access to large databases that allow for rapid and cost-effective research on therapeutics and drug safety * Foster collaboration with CTSA sites outside of Penn who wish to use these databases for clinical research

To enable widespread application of the Biological parametric mapping (BPM) approach, they introduce robust regression and non-parametric regression in the neuroimaging context of application of the general linear model. Biological parametric mapping (BPM) has extended the widely popular statistical parametric approach to enable application of the general linear model to multiple image modalities (both for regressors and regressands) along with scalar valued observations. This approach offers great promise for direct, voxelwise assessment of structural and functional relationships with multiple imaging modalities. However, as presented, the biological parametric mapping approach is not robust to outliers and may lead to invalid inferences (e.g., artifactual low p-values) due to slight mis-registration or variation in anatomy between subjects.

Computer program that provides a graphical user interface for fMRI researchers to easily and efficiently design their blocked experiments. The computer program POBE calculates the optimal number of subjects and the optimal scanning time for user specified experimental factors and model parameters so that the statistical efficiency is maximised for a given study budget. POBE can also be used to determine the minimum budget for a given power. Furthermore, a maximin design can be determined as efficient design for a possible range of values for the unknown model parameters.
