https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT00325039

Study that compared the outcomes of two minimally invasive surgical procedures to treat stress urinary incontinence in women. These procedures are called mid-urethral slings. The procedures insert a mesh sling or hammock to support the bladder neck so that urine does not leak. Both procedures have been approved by the FDA and have been shown to be safe and successful in treating stress urinary incontinence. However, it is not known if one is better than the other. This study answers that question. The secondary aims of the trial are to compare other outcomes for the two surgical procedures, including quality of life, sexual function, satisfaction with treatment outcomes, complications, and the need for other treatments(s) after surgery. Follow-up will be a minimum of two years. Stress urinary incontinence is the accidental leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, laughing, sneezing, or lifting heavy objects.

Multi-center, randomized controlled study designed to determine if continuing interferon long term over several years will suppress the Hepatitis C virus, prevent progression to cirrhosis, prevent liver cancer and reduce the need for liver transplantation. Patient enrollment began in 2000 and was completed in 2003 at 10 clinical centers, which were supported by a data coordinating center, virological testing center, and central sample repository. Patients with chronic hepatitis C and advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis on liver biopsy who failed to respond to a previous course of interferon alfa were enrolled in this study. Patients were initially treated with a 24-week course of peginterferon alfa-2a and ribavirin. Patients who remained hepatitis C virus RNA positive were then randomized to receive maintenance, low-dose peginterferon or to be followed on no treatment. Liver biopsies were done before enrollment and after 2 and 4 years of treatment or follow-up. The endpoints were development of cirrhosis, hepatic decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma, death, or liver transplantation. 1050 patients were randomized and followed through the 4 year randomized phase of the trial and as long as 4 years off treatment. Serum samples collected at multiple time points, DNA and liver tissue are available for scientific investigation.

Tutorial that uses scanning electron micrographs (SEMs) as the primary resource to teach mammalian embryology. The 3-D like quality of the micrographs coupled with selected line drawings and minimal text allow relatively easy understanding of the complex morphological changes that occur in utero. Because early human embryos are not readily available and because embryogenesis is very similar across mammalian species, the majority of micrographs that are utilized in this tutorial are of mouse embryos. The remainder are human. This tutorial is divided into units that may be studied in any order. All of the images have a legend that indicates the age of the embryo. If it is a mouse embryo, the approximate equivalent human age is indicated. To minimize labeling, color-coding is widely used. To view the micrographs without color, the cursor may be placed on the image. The SEMs used in this tutorial are from the Kathleen K. Sulik collection. The line drawings have been used with permission from Lippincott Williams & Wilkins and are from the 6th and 7th editions of Langman''s Medical Embryology by T.W. Sadler.

Community database that collects and integrates the gene expression information in MGI with a primary emphasis on endogenous gene expression during mouse development. The data in GXD are obtained from the literature, from individual laboratories, and from large-scale data providers. All data are annotated and reviewed by GXD curators. GXD stores and integrates different types of expression data (RNA in situ hybridization; Immunohistochemistry; in situ reporter (knock in); RT-PCR; Northern and Western blots; and RNase and Nuclease s1 protection assays) and makes these data freely available in formats appropriate for comprehensive analysis. There is particular emphasis on endogenous gene expression during mouse development. GXD also maintains an index of the literature examining gene expression in the embryonic mouse. It is comprehensive and up-to-date, containing all pertinent journal articles from 1993 to the present and articles from major developmental journals from 1990 to the present. GXD stores primary data from different types of expression assays and by integrating these data, as data accumulate, GXD provides increasingly complete information about the expression profiles of transcripts and proteins in different mouse strains and mutants. GXD describes expression patterns using an extensive, hierarchically-structured dictionary of anatomical terms. In this way, expression results from assays with differing spatial resolution are recorded in a standardized and integrated manner and expression patterns can be queried at different levels of detail. The records are complemented with digitized images of the original expression data. The Anatomical Dictionary for Mouse Development has been developed by our Edinburgh colleagues, as part of the joint Mouse Gene Expression Information Resource project. GXD places the gene expression data in the larger biological context by establishing and maintaining interconnections with many other resources. Integration with MGD enables a combined analysis of genotype, sequence, expression, and phenotype data. Links to PubMed, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), sequence databases, and databases from other species further enhance the utility of GXD. GXD accepts both published and unpublished data.
