http://purl.bioontology.org/ontology/DCO

Ontology that is a schema for information brokering and knowledge management in the complex field of rare diseases. On the one hand, the Dispedia schema uses semantic technologies to describe patients affected by rare diseases, and on the other hand, to record expertise concerning these particular diseases in machine-processable form. In addition to the differentiated attribution of facts to the individual need for information, Dispedia enables information brokering which adjusts to the type of recipient, its character as well as its personal attitude. The schema was initially geared to an exemplified disease, Amyotrophe Lateralsclerose (ALS).

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.

Multicenter clinical research study aimed at discovering whether modest weight loss through dietary changes and increased physical activity or treatment with the oral diabetes drug metformin (Glucophage) could prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in study participants. At the beginning of the DPP, all 3,234 study participants were overweight and had blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough for a diagnosis of diabetesa condition called prediabetes. In addition, 45 percent of the participants were from minority groups-African American, Alaska Native, American Indian, Asian American, Hispanic/Latino, or Pacific Islander-at increased risk of developing diabetes. The DPP found that participants who lost a modest amount of weight through dietary changes and increased physical activity sharply reduced their chances of developing diabetes. Taking metformin also reduced risk, although less dramatically. In the DPP, participants from 27 clinical centers around the United States were randomly divided into different treatment groups. The first group, called the lifestyle intervention group, received intensive training in diet, physical activity, and behavior modification. By eating less fat and fewer calories and exercising for a total of 150 minutes a week, they aimed to lose 7 percent of their body weight and maintain that loss. The second group took 850 mg of metformin twice a day. The third group received placebo pills instead of metformin. The metformin and placebo groups also received information about diet and exercise but no intensive motivational counseling. A fourth group was treated with the drug troglitazone (Rezulin), but this part of the study was discontinued after researchers discovered that troglitazone can cause serious liver damage. The participants in this group were followed but not included as one of the intervention groups. In the years since the DPP was completed, further analyses of DPP data continue to yield important insights into the value of lifestyle changes in helping people prevent type 2 diabetes and associated conditions. For example, one analysis confirmed that DPP participants carrying two copies of a gene variant, or mutation, that significantly increased their risk of developing diabetes benefited from lifestyle changes as much as or more than those without the gene variant. Another analysis found that weight loss was the main predictor of reduced risk for developing diabetes in DPP lifestyle intervention group participants. The authors concluded that diabetes risk reduction efforts should focus on weight loss, which is helped by increased exercise.

http://www.radiology.ucsf.edu/cind

Biomedical technology research center that develops and validates new imaging methods for detecting brain abnormalities in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Parkinson's disease, as well as epilepsy, depression, and other conditions associated with nerve loss in the brain. As people around the globe live longer, the impact of neurodegenerative diseases is expected to increase further with dire social and economical consequences for societies if no effective treatments are developed soon. The development at CIND is aimed to improve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The ultimate goal of the scientific program is to identify imaging markers that improve accuracy in diagnosing neurodegenerative diseases at early stages, achieve more reliable prognoses of disease progression, and facilitate the discovery of effective treatment interventions. In addition to addressing the general needs for studying neurodegenerative diseases, another focus of CIND concerns brain diseases associated with military service and war combat, such as post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), brain trauma, gulf war illness and the long-term effects of these conditions on the mental health of veterans. The symbiosis between CIND and the Veterans Administration Medical Center in San Francisco makes this program uniquely suited to serve military veterans.

A MATLAB toolbox forpipeline data analysis of resting-state fMRI that is based on Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) and a plug-in software within DPABI. After the user arranges the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) files and click a few buttons to set parameters, DPARSF will then give all the preprocessed (slice timing, realign, normalize, smooth) data and results for functional connectivity, regional homogeneity, amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF), fractional ALFF, degree centrality, voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity (VMHC) results. DPARSF can also create a report for excluding subjects with excessive head motion and generate a set of pictures for easily checking the effect of normalization. In addition, users can also use DPARSF to extract time courses from regions of interest. DPARSF basic edition is very easy to use while DPARSF advanced edition (alias: DPARSFA) is much more flexible and powerful. DPARSFA can parallel the computation for each subject, and can be used to reorient images interactively or define regions of interest interactively. Users can skip or combine the processing steps in DPARSF advanced edition freely.

http://www.acceleratedcure.org/index.php

A national nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the cure of MS by facilitating research that determines the causes and mechanisms of MS. Our main effort is the creation of a large-scale, multidisciplinary MS Repository of blood samples and data from people with MS and matched controls. We make these samples available to researchers investigating the causes of MS and other demyelinating diseases. In exchange for access to the repository, researchers agree to return the data they generate from the samples so that results from disparate experiments can be combined. We are also developing a Cure Map to establish and document what is known and what is not known about the causes of MS. From the Cure Map, Accelerated Cure Project will facilitate the research most likely to reveal the causes of MS in the shortest time through use of our MS Repository.
