THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on January 19, 2022.The mission of the Human Antibody Initiative (HAI) aims to promote and facilitate the use of antibodies for proteomics research. The initiative consists of two separate activities; (1) the generation of a catalogue of validated antibodies from many different sources and (2) a protein atlas for the expression and localization of human proteins in normal and disease tissue. The two separate activities have as their primary deliverables to generate databases with free public accessibility. The Antibody Resource database (www.antibodypedia.org) is aimed to produce a comprehensive catalogue of validated antibodies towards human proteins. This initiative depends on input from a large number of academic groups and commercial companies. The Protein Atlas initiative (www.proteinatlas.org) is aimed to provide comprehensive and annotated database of high-resolution images showing tissue profiles in normal and cancer tissues. Both databases will be open to the public without restriction (no passwords).

CAMO (Cell Adhesion Molecule Ontology) is a set of standard vocabulary that provide a hierarchical description of cell adhesion molecules and their functions. We compiled a list for cell adhesion molecules by integrating Gene Ontology annotations, domain structure information, and keywords query against NCBI Entrez Gene annotations. Totally 496 unique human genes were identified to function as cell adhesion molecules, which is by far the most comprehensive dataset including cadherin, immunoglobulin/FNIII, integrin, neurexin, neuroligan, and catenin families. CAMO was constructed as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) using DAG-Edit to input, manage and update data. We annotated each term with name, definition and source references, as well as the relationship to other terms, based on manual reviews of domain architecture and functional annotations. If vertices represent terms and the relationships between terms are represented by edges, the terms in a DAG can be connected via a directed graph without cycles. CAMO thus provides a hierarchical description of functions of CAMs with five top-level categories: CAM gene families, CAM genetics, CAM regulation, CAM expression and CAM diseases. Each top-level term is further divided into several categories to describe the functions in detail.

http://www.openanesthesia.org/

OpenAnesthesia.org is a wiki promoting evidence-based medicine in anesthesiology, critical care and pain management. It is divided into several, major Units (Anesthesia Text, Critical Care Manual, Practice-Changing Articles, Controversies in Anesthesia, ABA keywords, Audio/Video Archives, CME, GME, Pharmacology...), each of which is subdivided into Chapters (or in some cases, even smaller subdivisions, such as sections, individual key words, topics, points of interest, or bibliographic references). The goal of Anasthesia Text is to collect and distribute evidence-based information regarding all aspects of anesthesia. This section is similar to a traditional textbook in the broad range of topics covered, but different in that it will provide this information in the form of a wiki (i.e. anyone can edit, add, or subtract to it). OpenAneshesia.org provides anesthesia residents with GME credit and Program Directors with a tool to document core competency activities for Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-mandated learning portfolios. Residents are invited invited to read the Anesthesia & Analgesia article of the month and listen to an interview with one of the article''s authors. During the interview, the author will discuss the specifics of the article as well as general topics geared towards improving each resident''s appreciation of basic or clinical research. After listening to the podcast and reading the article, residents can answer 5 questions in order to demonstrate their mastery of the topics discussed (similar to the Anesthesia & Analgesia Continuing Medical Education (CME) section). Like the CME section, after demonstrating proficiency, a resident will receive a printable certificate that will specify which ACGME core competencies were addressed in the article and interview. The certificates can be put in each resident''s ACGME-required learning portfolio.

An accurate and reliable method for identifying athletes with head trauma, and a strong candidate rapid sideline screening test for concussion. The test is able to capture impairments of eye movement, attention, language and other symptoms of impaired brain function. It is a physical method of evaluating visual tracking and saccadic eye movements is based on the time to perform rapid number naming. It involves reading aloud a series of single digit numbers from left to right on three test cards. Participants are asked to read the numbers on each card from left to right as quickly as possible but without making any errors. The sum of the three test card time scores constitutes the summary score for the entire test. The test is a proven indicator of oculomotor inefficiencies regarding eye movements during reading. Published medical studies have determined that deficiencies in saccadic eye movements can be an indicator of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) or concussions. Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between poor oculomotor functions and learning disabilities (including dyslexia detection). Saccadic eye movement deficiencies can be improved with training and correspondingly reading performance also can be improved. Simply put, subjects who don''t perform well on this test are not efficient readers, although because there are many reasons for poor reading unrelated to eye movements, some poor readers do fine on the test. They believe that the test should be in the hands of teachers in order to help them determine if a student''s poor reading performance is related to deficiencies in their ability to move their eyes efficiently.

Finding a cure for any neurological disorder begins with the scientific study of the disorder''s causes, processes, and development in the brain. For essential tremor (ET), rigorous study of this kind had not been undertaken until 2003, when the Essential Tremor Centralized Brain Repository (ETCBR) was established at Columbia University. For the past five years, brain tissue from ET donors has been collected, processed and compared alongside age-matched control brains at the ETCBR, and already several significant findings have been made. However, there is still much to learn and a severe shortage of ET brains for scientific study. If you have been diagnosed with essential tremor, donating your brain tissue in the hours immediately after your death is of utmost importance in providing crucial information about what causes ET. Direct analysis of the shape and number of nerve cells and their content will provide medical researchers with the information they need in order to understand this complex illness. By advancing our medical knowledge of ET, the gift of brain tissue is a central piece of the puzzle in the search to develop better treatments and find a cure.
