http://toppcluster.cchmc.org/

A tool for performing multi-cluster gene functional enrichment analyses on large scale data (microarray experiments with many time-points, cell-types, tissue-types, etc.). It facilitates co-analysis of multiple gene lists and yields as output a rich functional map showing the shared and list-specific functional features. The output can be visualized in tabular, heatmap or network formats using built-in options as well as third-party software. It uses the hypergeometric test to obtain functional enrichment achieved via the gene list enrichment analysis option available in ToppGene.

http://bmsr.usc.edu/software/pneuma/

A set of modules that are used to simulate the autoregulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems under conditions of changing sleep-wake state and a variety of physiological and pharmacological interventions. It models the dynamic interactions that take place among the various component mechanisms, including those involved in the chemical control of breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, as well as the effects of changes in the sleep-wake state and arousal from sleep. PNEUMA includes the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, chemoreflex and state-related control of breath-to-breath ventilation, state-related and chemoreflex control of upper airway potency, as well as respiratory and circulatory mechanics. The model is capable of simulating the cardiorespiratory responses to sleep onset, arousal, continuous positive airway pressure, the administration of inhaled carbon dioxide and oxygen, Valsalva and Mueller maneuvers, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration during sleep. In PNEUMA 3.0, we have extended the existing integrative model of respiratory, cardiovascular, and sleepwake state control, to incorporate a sub-model of glucoseinsulinfatty acid regulation. The extended model is capable of simulating the metabolic control of glucoseinsulin dynamics and its interactions with the autonomic nervous system. The interactions between autonomic and metabolic control include the circadian regulation of epinephrine secretion, epinephrine regulation on dynamic fluctuations in glucose and free fatty acids in plasma, metabolic coupling among tissues and organs mediated by insulin and epinephrine, as well as the effect of insulin on peripheral vascular sympathetic activity. This extended model represents a starting point from which further in silico investigations into the interaction between the autonomic nervous system and the metabolic control system can proceed. Features in PNEUMA 3.0 * Incorporates metabolic component based on prior models of glucose-insulin regulation and free fatty acid (FFA) regulation. * Changes in sympathetic activity from the autonomic portion of PNEUMA produce changes in epinephrine output, which in turn affects the metabolic sub-model. * Inputs from the dietary intake of glucose and external interventions, such as insulin injections, have also been incorporated. * Also incorporated is autonomic feedback from the metabolic component to the rest of PNEUMA: changes in insulin level lead to changes in sympathetic tone. System Requirements: PNEUMA requires Matlab R2007b or higher with the accompanying version of Simulink to be installed on your computer.

A multicenter randomized clinical trial that aims to determine the best therapies for people with type 2 diabetes and moderately severe cardiovascular disease. 2368 participants were randomized at 49 sites in 6 countries. All subjects were given intensive medical therapy to control cholesterol and blood pressure and given counseling, if needed, to quit smoking and to lose weight. Beyond that, they compared whether prompt revascularization, either bypass surgery or angioplasty, e.g. stents, was more effective than medical therapy alone. At the same time, they also looked at which of two diabetes treatment strategies resulted in better outcomes����??insulin-providing versus insulin-sensitizing - that is, increasing the amount of insulin or making the insulin work better. Only patients with known type 2 diabetes and heart disease that could be treated appropriately with a revascularization OR medical therapy alone were eligible for the trial. Patients entered the study between January 2001 ����?? March 2005 and were followed for an average of five years. When a patient entered the study, physicians first decided whether that patient should receive stenting or bypass surgery. The patient then received their randomization assignment. All patients were treated in BARI 2D for both their diabetes and heart disease, as well as other risk factors that might effect those diseases, regardless of which group they were in. Diabetes-specific complications including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease were monitored regularly. Tests, blood samples, urine samples, and treatment cost data were obtained periodically through the trial and examined by experts at 7 central laboratories and other research partners. Experts on risk factors routinely oversaw treatments of all patients at 4 central management centers. A panel of independent experts reviewed data every six months to make sure that all patients were receiving safe care.

http://www.nesys.uio.no/Atlas3D/

A multi-platform visualization tool which allows import and visualization of 3-D atlas structures in combination with tomographic and histological image data. The tool allows visualization and analysis of the reconstructed atlas framework, surface modeling and rotation of selected structures, user-defined slicing at any chosen angle, and import of data produced by the user for merging with the atlas framework. Tomographic image data in NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) file format, VRML and PNG files can be imported and visualized within the atlas framework. XYZ coordinate lists are also supported. Atlases that are available with the tool include mouse brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Franklin (2001)) and rat brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Watson (2005)). Experimental data can be imported in Atlas3D and warped to atlas space, using manual linear registration, with the possibility to scale, rotate, and position the imported data. This facilitates assignment of location and comparative analysis of signal location in tomographic images.

http://www.civm.duhs.duke.edu/neuro2012ratatlas/

Multidimensional atlas of the adult Wistar rat brain based on magnetic resonance histology (MRH). The atlas has been carefully aligned with the widely used Paxinos-Watson atlas based on optical sections to allow comparisons between histochemical and immuno-marker data, and the use of the Paxinos-Watson abbreviation set. Our MR atlas attempts to make a seamless connection with the advantageous features of the Paxinos-Watson atlas, and to extend the utility of the data through the unique capabilities of MR histology: a) ability to view the brain in the skull with limited distortion from shrinkage or sectioning; b) isotropic spatial resolution, which permits sectioning along any arbitrary axis without loss of detail; c) three-dimensional (3D) images preserving spatial relationships; and d) widely varied contrast dependent on the unique properties of water protons. 3D diffusion tensor images (DTI) at what we believe to be the highest resolution ever attained in the rat provide unique insight into white matter structures and connectivity. The 3D isotropic data allow registration of multiple data sets into a common reference space to provide average atlases not possible with conventional histology. The resulting multidimensional atlas that combines Paxinos-Watson with multidimensional MRH images from multiple specimens provides a new, comprehensive view of the neuroanatomy of the rat and offers a collaborative platform for future rat brain studies. To access the atlas, click view supplementary materials in CIVMSpace at the bottom of the following webpage.
