An ontology for neuroimaging or medical imaging studies based on DOLCE (Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering), as the foundational ontology. Detailed description from web: Our aim is the design of a common semantic model providing a unified view on all data and tools to be shared between NeuroLOG partners. For this purpose, we built a multi-layered and multi-components formal ontology. We chose a design framework that structures the ontology at different levels of abstraction while respecting common conceptualization choices. At the highest level is a top-level ontology that includes abstract concepts and relationships valid across domains. We adopted DOLCE (Descriptive Ontology for Linguistic and Cognitive Engineering), as the foundational ontology. We then added Core ontologies, which provide generic, basic and minimal concepts and relations in a specific domain. By minimal we mean that core ontologies should include only the most reusable and widely applicable categories. These kinds of ontologies are essential for sharing intended meaning between different domains. We adopted I& DA (Information and Discourse Acts), a core ontology initially built for classifying documents as a function of their content.We use it to model medical images, which we consider as types of documents. Participant Roles is the core ontology we use to describe the modes of image participation in data processing. I& DA and Participant Roles are built according to DOLCE ontological commitments. On the basis of these two layers, we constructed our Domain ontology dedicated to conceptualizing a specific domain, in this case neuroimaging. Obviously, large domains such as neuroimaging can be divided into sub-domains for the sake of modularization.

Open source, platform-independent application for the visualization and analysis of complex, high-dimensional imaging data such as Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and High Angular Resolution Diffusion Imaging (HARDI). It has a plugin-based architecture which allows third parties to develop new plugins to extend the tool. Overview of the many features: * vIST/e is programmed in C++. It uses the Visualization Toolkit for visualization and pipelined data processing, as well as the cross-platform toolkit Qt Framework for an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface. * vIST/e introduces a powerful new plugin system, which allows for modular development with increased extensibility and stability. * Powerful GPU-based visualization techniques allow for smooth, real-time visualization of large data sets. Using custom ray tracing algorithms created with OpenGL, vIST/e can render DTI ellipsoids and HARDI spherical harmonics glyphs up to 4th order. The high frame rates offered by modern GPU technology allows for interactive exploration of this complex data. * Diffusion Tensor Imaging data can be visualized and interactively explored in a number of ways, including multiple cross-sections, volume rendering, and tensor glyphs. Derived scalar volumes, including various different anisotropy measures, can be computed and visualized. Data from other modalities, such as structural MRI, can be shown alongside the DTI data. * Various fiber tracking methods allow for fast and accurate reconstruction of fiber pathways. Interactively defined Regions of Interest (ROIs) can be used for seeding and filtering of fibers. Fibers are visualized either as lines, optionally using a powerful, GPU-based lighting engine, or as 3D structures such as tubes. * Scalar volumes, glyphs, and fibers can be colored using a wide array of coloring option. Customizable color loop-up tables allow for highly flexible visualization of scalar data. * Visualization and processing of various different HARDI formats is supported. HARDI data is interactively visualized using highly detailed glyphs rendered on the GPU. HARDI glyphs can be visualized in combination with DTI glyphs, for a better overview of complex diffusion data. * vIST/e includes support for NVIDIA's Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), which enables highly parallel, GPU-based data processing, allowing for significant speed-up of computationally expensive algorithms.

A web-based neuroimaging and neuropsychology software suite that offers versatile, automatable data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying and export all data, real-time reporting, and HIPAA and IRB compliant study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale neuroscience and neuropsychology researchers. COINS manages over over 400 studies, more than 265,000 clinical neuropsychological assessments, and 26,000 MRI, EEG, and MEG scan sessions collected from 18,000 participants at over ten institutions on topics related to the brain and behavior. As neuroimaging research continues to grow, dynamic neuroinformatics systems are necessary to store, retrieve, mine and share the massive amounts of data. The Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite (COINS) has been created to facilitate communication and cultivate a data community. This tool suite offers versatile data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying of data types and assessments, real-time reporting, and study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale researchers. It manages studies and their data at the Mind Research Network, the Nathan Kline Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (at) Hartford Hospital, and others. COINS is dynamic and evolves as the neuroimaging field grows. COINS consists of the following collaboration-centric tools: * Subject and Study Management: MICIS (Medical Imaging Computer Information System) is a centralized PostgreSQL-based web application that implements best practices for participant enrollment and management. Research site administrators can easily create and manage studies, as well as generate reports useful for reporting to funding agencies. * Scan Data Collection: An automated DICOM receiver collects, archives, and imports imaging data into the file system and COINS, requiring no user intervention. The database also offers scan annotation and behavioral data management, radiology review event reports, and scan time billing. * Assessment Data Collection: Clinical data gathered from interviews, questionnaires, and neuropsychological tests are entered into COINS through the web application called Assessment Manager (ASMT). ASMT's intuitive design allows users to start data collection with little or no training. ASMT offers several options for data collection/entry: dual data entry, for paper assessments, the Participant Portal, an online tool that allows subjects to fill out questionnaires, and Tablet entry, an offline data entry tool. * Data Sharing: De-identified neuroimaging datasets with associated clinical-data, cognitive-data, and associated meta-data are available through the COINS Data Exchange tool. The Data Exchange is an interface that allows investigators to request and share data. It also tracks data requests and keeps an inventory of data that has already been shared between users. Once requests for data have been approved, investigators can download the data directly from COINS.

Association of physicians, scientists, academics, research institutes and self-help groups that provides and nurtures interdisciplinary cooperation between research and primary, secondary and tertiary health care. Many internationally renowned heart failure researchers and working groups live and work in Germany. Nevertheless, there is insufficient cooperation of the respective working groups and research projects in this area. In order to remain internationally competitive in the heart failure research community, excellent implementation of large scale clinical and genetic trials is indispensable. Further, deficits in the effective presentation and transfer of research findings into clinical practice need to be addressed. An adequate translation of guidelines into practical, tangible instructions can facilitate clinical practice both in primary and tertiary care fundamentally. The need for action to address the research-practice-gap is obvious.

Network evaluating consensus-based common data elements (CDE) for traumatic brain injury (TBI) and psychological health (TBI-CDE, www.commondataelements.ninds.nih.gov/TBI.aspx) while extensively phenotyping a cohort of TBI patients across the injury spectrum from concussion to coma. Institutions that participate in the TBI Network will be able to track the outcomes of patients through a 3, 6 and 12-month followup program and compare outcomes with other participating institutions. For the three acute care centers, patients were enrolled that presented to the emergency department within 24 hours of head injury and required computed tomography (CT). For the rehabilitation center, referrals from acute hospitals were enrolled. Patients were consented to participate in components: clinical profile; blood draws for measurement of proteomic and genomic markers; 3T MRI within 2 weeks; three-month Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E); and six-month TBI-CDE Core outcome assessments. A web-enabled database, imaging repository, and biospecimen bank was developed using the TBI-CDE recommendations. A total of 605 patients were enrolled. Of these subjects, 88% had a GCS 13-15, 5% had a GCS 9-12, and 7% had a GCS of 8 or less. Three-month GOS-E''s were obtained for 78% of the patients. Comprehensive 6-month outcome measures, including PTSD assessment, are ongoing until September 2011. Blood specimens were collected from 450 patients. Initial CTs for 605 patients and 235 patients with 3T MRI studies were transferred to an imaging repository. The TRACK TBI Network will provide qualified institutions access to a web-based version of key forms in tracking TBI outcomes for Quality Improvement and institutional benchmarking.

An interactive, visual database containing more than 350 small molecule pathways found in humans. More than 2/3 of these pathways (>280) are not found in any other pathway database. SMPDB is designed specifically to support pathway elucidation and pathway discovery in metabolomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and systems biology. It is able to do so, in part, by providing exquisitely detailed, fully searchable, hyperlinked diagrams of human metabolic pathways, metabolic disease pathways, metabolite signaling pathways and drug-action pathways. All SMPDB pathways include information on the relevant organs, subcellular compartments, protein cofactors, protein locations, metabolite locations, chemical structures and protein quaternary structures. Each small molecule is hyperlinked to detailed descriptions contained in the HMDB or DrugBank and each protein or enzyme complex is hyperlinked to UniProt. All SMPDB pathways are accompanied with detailed descriptions and references, providing an overview of the pathway, condition or processes depicted in each diagram. The database is easily browsed and supports full text, sequence and chemical structure searching. Users may query SMPDB with lists of metabolite names, drug names, genes / protein names, SwissProt IDs, GenBank IDs, Affymetrix IDs or Agilent microarray IDs. These queries will produce lists of matching pathways and highlight the matching molecules on each of the pathway diagrams. Gene, metabolite and protein concentration data can also be visualized through SMPDB''s mapping interface. All of SMPDB''s images, image maps, descriptions and tables are downloadable.
