VHL is a library, a decentralized and dynamic information-source collection, designed to provide equitable access to scientific knowledge on health. This collection operates as an Internet network of products and services, structured to progressively meet the need for information on health on the part of authorities, administrators, researchers, professors, students, professionals, the media and the general public. It sets itself apart from other information sources available on the Internet due to its selection criteria and quality control. The Virtual Health Library is envisioned as the broad of scientific and technical knowledge based in health-entered, organized, and stored in electronic format in the countries of the Region, universally accessible on the Internet and compatible with international databases. The VHL is a common space shared by information users, producers and intermediaries. It is based on the information paradigm set by the Internet, where users may interact with networks of information sources and with other users. The most important consequence of this paradigm is the convergence of functions and activities of production, intermediation and use of information sources. It will also be possible to enrich, schedule, reformulate, and/or translate the basic information sources into new information products and services, with value added, in order to meet more efficiently the information needs of users from specific communities. BIREME has established a plan of action to implement the Virtual Health Library based on 5 lines of action: promotion and marketing; realignment of traditional products and services; production of electronic publications; development of tools for integrating and locating information; and development of other Virtual Health Library components. Sponsors: VHL is supported by the Latin-American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. This lab is investigating the molecular details of how potassium ion channels open and close (i.e. gating), the cellular regulation of potassium channels in nerve cells, and more recently, their role in drug addiction and mental disorders. There are currently two related areas of focus in the lab. One main area of research is investigating the G protein regulation of GIRK channels, utilizing structural, biochemical and electrophysiological strategies. The other area extends from the G protein regulation experiments to studies that examine the role of GIRK channels in the neural response to drugs of abuse, utilizing biochemical, electrophysiological and behavioral strategies.

Stable isotope labeling with amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) is a simple and straightforward approach for in vivo incorporation of a label into proteins for mass spectrometry (MS)-based quantitative proteomics. SILAC relies on metabolic incorporation of a given "light" or "heavy" form of the amino acid into the proteins. The method relies on the incorporation of amino acids with substituted stable isotopic nuclei (e.g. deuterium, 13C, 15N). In an experiment, two cell populations are grown in culture media that are identical except that one of them contains a "light" and the other a "heavy" form of a particular amino acid (e.g. 12C and 13C labeled L-lysine, respectively). When the labeled analog of an amino acid is supplied to cells in culture instead of the natural amino acid, it is incorporated into all newly synthesized proteins. After a number of cell divisions, each instance of this particular amino acid will be replaced by its isotope labeled analog. Since there is hardly any chemical difference between the labeled amino acid and the natural amino acid isotopes, the cells behave exactly like the control cell population grown in the presence of normal amino acid. It is efficient and reproducible as the incorporation of the isotope label is 100%. SILAC Applications: - Differential expression of proteins and identification of disease biomarkers - Cell signaling dynamics - Analysis of yeast pheromone signaling pathway - Identification of methylation sites - Identification of protease substrates - Study of protein complexes/protein interactions - Analysis of signaling pathways and effect of pharmacological inhibitors - Subcellular proteomics Sponsors: Supported in part by an NIH Roadmap grant Technology Center for Networks & Pathways of Lysine Modification.

The Johns Hopkins NIMH Center is comprised of an interdisciplinary research team who has pooled their talents to study the nature of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Their aim is to translate discoveries of the pathophysiological mechanisms into novel therapeutics for HAND. Objectives * To integrate aspects of ongoing research in HAND and SIV encephalitis * Develop high-throughput and screening assays for identifying novel therapeutic compounds * Use proteomics and lipidomics approaches to indentifying surrogate markers of disease activity * Disseminate information and education about HAND through existing and new educational systems, including the JHU AIDS Education Training Center and the JHU Center for Global Clinical Education * Facilitate the entry of new investigators into Neuro-AIDS research, and to catalyze new areas of research, particularly where relevant for drug discovery or the development of validated surrogate markers

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. Obesity e-Lab is a unique, secure environment for producing, sharing, communicating and finding obesity research between epidemiologists, public health researchers and social scientists. Features of e-Lab: - Tools to share: it enables social and biomedical researchers to share data, information and analytical tools for obesity research. First, it will create a portal to provide access to the platform and facilitate social networking. - Navigation tools: Second, it will generate search and navigation tools for researchers in academic, NHS or local government organizations to find data from administrative and secure data services, via social science views of health datasets, and health science views of social datasets. Within the NHS, e-Lab links records from a variety of administrative and health (and social) care sources for broadly-specified obesity research, and make pseudonymised extracts of NHS-linked datasets available via the portal. - Analytical tools: Third, it will develop analytical tools, focused on: i) easy, reliable and privacy-protecting transformation of geo-codes in health records to other geographies and area-based social and economic measures; ii) epidemiological extensions to geographical information systems; iii) growth-standardization of child obesity measures. The tool-building will employ as much existing software as possible, focusing on the provision of simple, intuitive interfaces to proven software to make it easy for social or biomedical researchers to use collaboratively.

DA works to relieve and to prevent depression by providing information and support services to those who are affected by it via their publications, supporter services and network of self-help groups for people affected by depression. Depression Alliances services help people to understand, work with and recover from symptoms associated with depression. Depression Alliance believes that the stigma and lack of accurate information surrounding depression continues to prevent people from seeking and finding appropriate and vital help when it is required. Early intervention and information are crucial in enabling those affected by depression to recover quickly and critically in preventing further episodes. Informed by the experiences of people with depression and by research, DA works extensively with government agencies and healthcare professionals to improve the service provision for those affected by depression. DA also campaigns to raise awareness amongst the general public about the realities of this severe and enduring illness by organizing a variety of events and initiatives.
