The Department of Psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego is one of the most innovative and productive academic departments of psychiatry in the country. The guiding principle in this development has been that the educational and research programs of a psychiatry department must be at the cutting edge and encompass and integrate the most current innovations in the field with those approaches from the past which have proven to be valid and effective. The department has a strong commitment to the dynamic understanding of an individual's current social context and feelings, and past behaviors and experiences. We believe we have created one of the best available integrations of the biopsychosocial approaches to understanding normal and abnormal human behavior. By design, a rich diversity of scientific and clinical strategies are represented within the department, but the core organizing ethic of our educational and training programs is a profound commitment to our patients well being. It is the department's conviction that clinical psychiatry can only be learned in the context of meaningful interaction and contact with patients. The Residency Training Program is developmental in nature, appropriately challenging the residents at each level as they move from intensively supervised beginners to autonomous, confident, skilled clinicians and colleagues at graduation. The training occurs within the department's ambiance of collegiality, enthusiasm, openness of communication, intellectual and scientific rigor, and spirit of inquiry, which characterize our highly productive and energetic faculty. The UCSD faculty represent a virtual who's who of world-class basic and clinical scientists and clinicians, all of whom are available and participate in our residents training and experiences. The tradition at UCSD, both on the general campus and within the School of Medicine, is that of academic excellence. The department shares in this tradition and expects it from its faculty, trainees, and students. The goal of the residency program is to develop highly competent psychiatric physicians and leaders who are comprehensively trained in the most up-to-date diagnostic and treatment techniques which have proven effective for the full spectrum of mental disorders.

International private stem cell storage bank to collect, assess and cryogenically store living tooth cells from deciduous baby teeth. Tooth cell banking is a safe, natural and completely noninvasive method of collecting and preserving valuable stem cells which could hold the key to your child's health. Simply enroll, send us your child's tooth when it falls out, and they'll do the rest. Stem cell treatment to repair or replace damaged tissues or organs is the cornerstone of future medical science. Children's milk teeth, (baby teeth) have been identified as a rich source of these stem cells and have the potential to treat some of the worst illnesses and diseases facing people today. Stem cells from teeth (mesenchymal stem cells) are different from those found in cord blood (hematopoietic stem cells). Cord blood cells can be used to treat blood disorders such as leukemia, but stem cells from teeth are different. Stem cells from teeth can be used to grow a range of tissues including bone, nerve, fat, muscle and cartilage and may one day be used to grow entire organs. It is widely believed that stem cells will be used to treat a wide variety of diseases and injuries within the next decade.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on August 31, 2022. Center focused on the development of computational biological atlases of different populations, subjects, modalities, and spatio-temporal scales with 3 types of resources: (1) Stand-alone computational software tools (image and volume processing, analysis, visualization, graphical workflow environments). (2) Infrastructure Resources (Databases, computational Grid, services). (3) Web-services (web-accessible resources for processing, validation and exploration of multimodal/multichannel data including clinical data, imaging data, genetics data and phenotypic data). The CCB develops novel mathematical, computational, and engineering approaches to map biological form and function in health and disease. CCB computational tools integrate neuroimaging, genetic, clinical, and other relevant data to enable the detailed exploration of distinct spatial and temporal biological characteristics. Generalizable mathematical approaches are developed and deployed using Grid computing to create practical biological atlases that describe spatiotemporal change in biological systems. The efforts of CCB make possible discovery-oriented science and the accumulation of new biological knowledge. The Center has been divided into cores organized as follows: - Core 1 is focused on mathematical and computational research. Core 2 is involved in the development of tools to be used by Core 3. Core 3 is composed of the driving biological projects; Mapping Genomic Function, Mapping Biological Structure, and Mapping Brain Phenotype. - Cores 4 - 7 provide the infrastructure for joint structure within the Center as well as the development of new approaches and procedures to augment the research and development of Cores 1-3. These cores are: (4)Infrastructure and Resources, (5) Education and Training, (6) Dissemination, and (7) Administration and Management. The main focus of the CCB is on the brain, and specifically on neuroimaging. This area has a long tradition of sophisticated mathematical and computational techniques. Nevertheless, new developments in related areas of mathematics and computational science have emerged in recent years, some from related application areas such as Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, and Image Processing, as well as from Computational Mathematics and the Computational Sciences. We are confident that many of these ideas can be applied beneficially to neuroimaging.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 28,2025. The Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database (SPReD) initiative creates the infrastructure needed for the collection of a wide range of data related to stroke risk factors and to stroke recovery. It also promotes the analysis and management of large brain and vessel images. A major goal is to create a comprehensive electronic database Stroke Patient Recovery Research Database or SPReD and populate it with patient data, including demographic, biomarker, genetic and proteomic data and imaging data. SPReD will enable us to combine descriptions of our stroke patients from multiple projects that are geographically distributed. We will do this in a uniform fashion in order to enhance our ability to document rates of recovery; to study the effects of vascular risk factors and inflammatory biomarkers; and to use these data to improve their physical and cognitive recovery through innovative intervention programs. This comprehensive database will provide an integrated repository of data with which our researchers will investigate and test original ideas, ultimately leading to knowledge that can be applied clinically to benefit stroke survivors.

https://open.med.harvard.edu/display/SHRINE/Community

Software providing a scalable query and aggregation mechanism that enables federated queries across many independently operated patient databases. This platform enables clinical researchers to solve the problem of identifying sufficient numbers of patients to include in their studies by querying across distributed hospital electronic medical record systems. Through the use of a federated network protocol, SHRINE allows investigators to see limited data about patients meeting their study criteria without compromising patient privacy. This software should greatly enable population-based research, assessment of potential clinical trials cohorts, and hypothesis formation for followup study by combining the EHR assets across the hospital system. In order to obtain the maximum number of cases representing the study population, it is useful to aggregate patient facts across as many sites as possible. Cutting across institutional boundaries necessitates that each hospital IRB remain in control, and that their local authority is recognized for each and every request for patient data. The independence, ownership, and legal responsibilities of hospitals predetermines a decentralized technical approach, such as a federated query over locally controlled databases. The application comes with the SHRINE Core Ontology but it can be used with any ontology, even one that is disease specific. The Core Ontology is designed to enable the widest range of studies possible using facts gathered in the EMR during routine patient care. SHRINE allows multiple ontologies to be used for different research purposes on the same installed systems.

A database of experimental behavioral data from > 170 aphasia patients who exhibited language impairments secondary to chronic left hemisphere stroke. The core of the database is individual-trial performance data from picture naming. Picture naming is a primary test of lexical processing. The task taps a critical juncture in the language system because naming mediates between high-level conceptual and syntactic processing and low-level phonological processing. Difficulty in this task is present to varying degrees in nearly all aphasic individuals. This site allows researchers to search through naming data from over 170 patients. Searches can narrow in on data subsets based on patient characteristics (e.g. time since aphasia onset, clinical diagnosis), stimulus characteristics (e.g. semantic category, lexical frequency) and task performance (e.g. error type). The data available on this site can be used to test hypotheses about naming impairment and aphasic impairment generally. Once the basic analysis tools of the site are exhausted, users can export the raw data for further analysis and visualization. The web database represents years of data collection. Most were recruited to the research program at Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute (MRRI).
