Membership supported, nonprofit organization established dedicated to improving the lives of persons affected by ataxia through support, education, and research. The Foundation's primary purpose is to support promising ataxia research and to provide vital programs and services for ataxia families. The Foundation first began direct funding of ataxia research through the NAF Research Seed-Money Program. Since that time, the Foundation has established additional research programs which have included programs such as the NAF Young Investigator Award, the NAF Fellowship Award and other research initiatives. NAF research programs continue to fund promising ataxia research studies throughout the world.

The roots of the American Thoracic Society reach back to 1905, when a small group of physicians decided that the best way to improve care for tuberculosis patients was to share their experiences and discoveries. Today, the ATS has grown into an international society with more than 15,000 members. In this introductory section, you will find information about the people and programs that make the ATS the world''s leading medical association dedicated to advancing our clinical and scientific understanding of pulmonary diseases, critical illnesses and sleep-related breathing disorders. It created a new program to enhance the Societys commitment to discovering new knowledge and advancing patient care. Over the last seven years, the ATS Research Program has grown tremendously, providing more than 7.5 million in grants to 76 young researchers investigating a wide spectrum of lung diseases, ranging from asthma and COPD to pulmonary fibrosis and alpha-1 antitrypsin. The program has also funded the career development of 24 pulmonary and critical care fellows. A main purpose of the American Thoracic Society is to foster the gathering, evaluating, and disseminating of scientific and clinical information. This part of the ATS Website contains clinical information arranged by topic. Most of the information is developed and contributed by the scientific assemblies of the American Thoracic Society.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 17, 2013. International interdisciplinary Internet based unbiased forum for review of medical literature. Very much like an on-line journal club, we aim to provide a venue which will improve communication amongst physicians and lead to better understanding and interpretation of medical literature. In the academic world, Journal Clubs are a common way to discuss and critically question medical literature. The knowledge gained by this activity can be immeasurable, and often leads to ideas both relating to patient care and to future research. However, many clinicians are unable to participate in these academic activities. In addition, information shared within an individual journal club is seldom disseminated. Here you will find a free, user-friendly website where you can rate and discuss medical literature. It offers innovative and powerful search tools that will allow you to quickly query the medical literature and identify the information you need. In addition, their exclusive tools will help identify the most important and controversial articles. It is their hope to bring both insight and questions to the literature -- both of which will be used to shape future research. Clinicians will have a better understanding of the evidence, and ability to partake in a venue that fosters communication between peers.

Data set on the prevalence of self-care behaviors by non-institutionalized older adults. Personal interviews were conducted with 3,485 individuals 65 years of age and older, with oversampling of the oldest old. Questions were asked about the type and extent of self-care behaviors for activities of daily living, management of chronic conditions (through self-care activities, equipment use, and environmental modifications), medical self-care for acute conditions, health promotion/disease preventions, social support, health service utilization, and socio-demographic/economic status. A follow-up study by telephone was conducted in 1994 to continue examination of subjects. Many of the same questions from the baseline were asked, along with questions regarding change in health status since baseline and nursing home visits. For subjects who had been institutionalized since baseline (Part 2), information was gathered (by proxy) regarding demographic status, living arrangements prior to institutionalization, and reasons for institutionalization. For subjects who had died since baseline (Part 3), information was again gathered through interviews with proxies. Questions covered nursing home admissions and date and place of death. In both waves, a proxy was substituted if the subject was hospitalized (or institutionalized since baseline), too ill, cognitively not able to respond, or deceased. Survey data were linked to Medicare/Medicaid health utilization records. The baseline data are archived at NACDA as ICPSR Study No. 6718, and the followup data are archived as ICPSR Study No. 2592 and linkable to the baseline data. * Dates of Study: 1990-1994 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 1990-1: 3,485 (Baseline) ** 1994: 2,601 (Followup) Links: * 1990-1991 Baseline ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06718 * 1994 Follow-up ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/02592
