Donor Services of Indiana (DSI) in Fort Wayne is the nonprofit tissue bank established to provide high-quality human tissue and eye tissue for transplant to patients in our region, and for use in medical research. The program depends on contributions made by generous people who have consented to donation after the death of a family member. Bone, tendons, skin grafts and heart valves can significantly improve the quality of life for transplant recipients by preventing amputation, restoring mobility, relieving pain and sometimes saving lives. DSI adheres to the strict guidelines of the American Association of Tissue Banks and is widely recognized for its leadership in tissue banking. Transplant tissue provided by DSI is from regional donors evaluated and procured by our clinical staff, tested under our rigorous protocols, and distributed, tracked and followed by our professionals. DSI provides tissues back to the community from which they came and is equipped to deliver needed tissues on an urgent basis for medical emergencies, surgeries and procedures.

The AIDS Specimen Bank (ASB) provides repository services to cohort studies such as the Women''s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS), Primary HIV Infection Study, Staying Well Study, clinical trials performed at UCSF, and others. The majority of ASB clients are HIV investigators, but the bank also processes and stores specimens collected from some non-HIV studies. The ASB is also the Specimen Bank Core for the UCSF/GIVI Center for AIDS Research. The mission of the AIDS Specimen Bank is to provide the following: * Processing and handling of specimens * Short-term or long-term storage (includes ultra-low temperatures and liquid nitrogen) * Data management * Well-characterized specimens to qualified investigators for translational research * Consultation to investigators inquiring about specimen collection and storage * International resource for HIV research * Networking tool within the research community All body fluids����??sera, plasma, saliva, vaginal lavage, etc.����??are stored as 1-milliliter aliquots in ultra-low freezers (-70��������C). PBMCs are processed and stored in liquid nitrogen. All equipment involved with the processing of specimens (centrifuges and Coulter counter) is calibrated by trained technicians. The ASB is a participant in the Adult AIDS Clinical Trials Group PBMC Cryopreservation and Viability Panel, in which sets of processed and frozen PBMCs are sent to the Immunology Quality Assessment Program (IQA) testing lab for viability and cell counts. Our laboratory has participated in the IQA program for three years, and all samples have proven to be acceptable to their standards. The ASB is compliant with Good Laboratory Practices guidelines.

http://www.tbi-impact.org/?p=impact%2Fcalc&btn_calc=GO+TO+CALCULATOR

A calculator that calculates the prediction models for 6 month outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury. Based on extensive prognostic analysis the IMPACT investigators have developed prognostic models for predicting 6 month outcome in adult patients with moderate to severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale <=12) on admission. By entering the characteristics into the calculator, the models will provide an estimate of the expected outcome at 6 months. We present three models of increasing complexity (Core, Core + CT, Core + CT + Lab). These models were developed and validated in collaboration with the CRASH trial collaborators on large numbers of individual patient data (the IMPACT database). The models discriminate well, and are particularly suited for purposes of classification and characterization of large cohorts of patients. Extreme caution is required when applying the estimated prognosis to individual patients. The sequential prediction models may be used as an aid to estimate 6 month outcome in patients with severe or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the prediction rule can only complement, never replace, clinical judgment and can therefore be used only as a decision-support system.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. Located in Spain, the Andalusian Regional Tumour Bank is a regional tumor bank. In the last decades cancer knowledge is growing exponentially due human genome knowledge and technological advantages. However, this disease is the biggest problem of health in Europe, with more than 2,5 million new cases per year. The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is now allowing to identify the characteristics that the disease has on each person. The next step is meant to be a great revolution in the treatment of cancer. This scientific development is dependent on the availability of human tumour samples preserved in demanding conditions. Current technology requires the availability of tissue morphological and molecular conditions similar to those that had the sample before being removed. Tumor banks are responsible for these new quality requirements to foster the development of research and health care of patients.
