Layton Alzheimers Disease Center Clinical Core Resource Report Resource Website |
Layton Alzheimers Disease Center Clinical Core (RRID:SCR_009912) | service resource, core facility, access service resource | THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on December 6th,2022. The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center?s (OADC) Clinical Core program, directed by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, performs longitudinal studies of the natural history of brain aging and Alzheimer''s disease in patients and healthy control volunteers. These studies which are performed through standardized neurological, neuro-psychological, and brain-imaging assessments are carried out in the Alzheimer''s Disease and Memory Assessment Clinics as well as through community-based assessments conducted in the homes of study volunteers. The Layton Center Neuroimaging Lab conducts brain-imaging MRI brain scans to assist in diagnosis of brain disease. Typically, MRI images are taken from three different planes. These planes are known as the coronal plane, sagittal plane and the axial plane. Each series of MRI images is named after the plane from which they were obtained. The Clinical Core?s research is focused on preclinical and early Alzheimer?s disease (AD) yet is also poised to participate in other relevant new research as it arises. The OADC Clinical Core recruits, assesses and follows individuals from population groups at high risk for dementia such as: the healthy ?oldest old?, subjects with family history of AD, and subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Research with underserved populations The Oregon Alzheimer?s Disease Center also maintains two Satellite programs to enhance understanding of underserved populations: The Klamath Exceptional Aging Project (KEAP) is a community-based study of brain aging being conducted in Klamath Falls. The African American Dementia and Aging Project (AADAPt) s a Portland-based cohort of 100 African American seniors. |

Seattle Longitudinal Study (RRID:SCR_003654) | SLS | data set, data or information resource | Data set from an ongoing, longitudinal-sequential study of adult-cognitive development, which began in 1956, that focuses on individual differences in age-related changes and differences across cohorts. The general purpose of the study is to examine the changes in intelligence and various abilities throughout adulthood. The data provide a normative base to determine the ages of detectable decrements in ability and the magnitudes of the decrements. The study also seeks to examine patterns of generational differences and age-related differences and to determine the effects of educational intervention on intellectual decline. This study is a mixed cross-sectional, longitudinal, and time-lag design. Included are family studies of cognitive similarity, prospective studies of early signs of dementia via psychological and genetic markers, as well as the investigation of personality and demographic variables that affect cognitive change in adults from young adulthood to advanced old age. Questionnaire topics include health behavior, behavioral rigidity, family environment, Life Complexity Inventory, CES-D Depression, and cognitive and neuropsychology batteries.

The study collected self-reports of physical, psychological, and social well-being, plus extensive clinical data based on medical examinations and laboratory analyses. Examination of health outcomes included chronic illnesses, functional status, psychological well-being, and cognitive function. Questions regarding life challenges focused on perceived stress, economic difficulties, security and safety, and the consequences of a major earthquake. Biological markers were used to identify cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic process measures, immune-system activity, the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, and sympathetic nervous system activity. The study design consists of face-to-face interviews with participants drawn from a random sub-sample of participants from 27 PSUs from the 1999 Survey of Health and Living Status of the Middle Aged and Elderly in Taiwan. Hospital visits and blood and urine specimens also were collected. A second wave of SEBAS was conducted in 2006 using a similar protocol to SEBAS 2000, but with the addition of performance assessments conducted by the interviewers at the end of the home interview. * Dates of Study: -2000, 2006 * Study Features: Longitudinal, International, Anthropometric Measures * Sample Size: 27 PSUs | late adult human, middle adult human, longitudinal, international, anthropometric measure, health, well-being, taiwan, biomarker, cognitive functioning, diet, disease, health behavior, health status, illness, leisure, life event, life satisfaction, medical evaluation, medical history, medication, mental health, physical condition, physical limitation, psychological well-being, social environment, stress, urinalysis, clinical, interview, metabolic process, immune-system, hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal, sympathetic nervous system, blood, urine |

The Registry is a United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) resource that was originally constructed from military records; the Registry has been in existence for almost 20 years. It is one of the largest national twin registries in the US and currently has members living in all 50 states. Initially formed to address questions about the long-term health effects of service in Vietnam, the Registry has evolved into a resource for genetic epidemiological studies of mental and physical health conditions. Several waves of mail and telephone surveys have collected a wealth of health-related information on Registry twins, referred to as members. In addition to twins, selected adult offspring of twins and the mothers of those offspring are also VET Registry members. More recent data collection efforts have focused on specific sets of twin pairs and have conducted detailed clinical or laboratory testing.

StemCure Tissue Banking Resource Report Resource Website |
StemCure Tissue Banking (RRID:SCR_010538) | StemCure | material resource, biomaterial supply resource, cell repository | Stunning scientific discoveries have opened the possibilities for us to preserve our unaltered youth and healthy genome almost indefinitely. To do this, we propose to our clients to allow us to isolate and cryopreserve a small piece of tissue from their body in our unique tissue bank via a simple skin biopsy procedure. Our methods provide 100% assurance that the tissues we preserve will remain viable, healthy and young. We guarantee that these tissues will correspond to the age and physical status from the time when they were collected and can be preserved for many decades to come. In that way we strive to accomplish mankind''s most important dream ������?? to stop the hands of time and reduce the effects of aging. We will bring to a standstill the genetic program that is encoded in our cells that cause us to age and grow older. What is unique about this procedure, from a biological perspective, is that even as a person continues to live longer and get older, at the same time, part of his body remains invariably young. This well-preserved critical piece of tissue contains all the vitally important genetic material that harnesses the potential for invigorating one''s health. It will play an essential role in the rehabilitation and rejuvenation of human beings in the future. Recent studies have shown that certain parts of our skin are the most optimal material to be used for our program. For this purpose we utilize fibroblasts, the cells of the connective tissues located at the bottom side of our epidermis. In order to properly extract fibroblasts from our skin we have to perform a basic skin biopsy procedure. If you decide to participate in our program, StemCure will send to you the standard Tissue Collection Kit. This Kit contains detailed instructions for how your doctor should perform the biopsy procedure, as well as all the necessary components for the collection and transportation of a biopsy sample. StemCure will immediately start processing your biopsy samples once they arrive by overnight shipment to one of our laboratory facilities. We perform this very elaborate procedure because we understand perfectly well that our ultimate goal is not just the preservation of your tissue samples, but rather their subsequent utilization for the production of embryonic stem cells, which is the next stage of our program. Before subjecting the samples of your tissue to freezing, we will use the skin tissue to initiate the growth of the cell culture. After initial testing of the cell culture for viability and physiological activity, we will start its preparation for cyropreservation. StemCure will do everything in its power to ensure that the ������??Youth Genome������?? of our clients is safely protected and will remain a viable source for their healthy disease-free future. | stem cell therapy, stem cell, tissue, fibroblast, cell, cryopreserved, frozen, transplantation | is listed by: One Mind Biospecimen Bank Listing | Aging | Private | nlx_25905 | SCR_010538 | StemCure Tissue Banking Program | 2026-02-16 09:47:53 | 0 | ||||||

Swedish Twin Registry (RRID:SCR_008883) | STR | patient registry, people resource | The Swedish Registry was established in the 1960s to study how smoking affects our health. Then little was known about the dangers of smoking. There is, at present, information on approximately 85 000 twin pairs, both monozygotic and dizygotic. As described by Lichtenstein et al., 2002, Pedersen et al., 2002 and Lichtenstein et al., 2006, the Swedish Twin Registry (STR) is the largest and most comprehensive twin registry in the world. Founded in 1961, the registry covers all like-sexed twin births since 1886, and all twin births (like- and unlike-sexed) since 1906. There are currently 89,000 pairs of twins registered, of which both members of 65,000 pairs are alive, with regular updates concerning vital status, addresses, hospital discharges, tumors, and causes of death, through subscriptions to national registries. Furthermore, there is extensive epidemiological data (exposures, symptoms and disease through questionnaires or interviews) on all pairs born 1986 or earlier, for most individuals involving 30 year baseline to follow-up information. Furthermore, data from the cohort of twins born since 1991 have been or will be contacted with a telephone interview with the parents of twins as they turn 9 (CATSS). Because the STR is an (inter)national resource, we are receptive to collaboration academic and industry-based researchers.

Study of Womens Health Across the Nation (SWAN) Repository Resource Report Resource Website 1+ mentions |
Study of Womens Health Across the Nation (SWAN) Repository (RRID:SCR_008810) | SWAN Repository | material resource, biomaterial supply resource, cell repository | The SWAN Repository is the biologic specimen bank of the Study of Women''s Health Across the Nation (SWAN). SWAN is a National Institutes of Health funded, multi-site, longitudinal study of the natural history of the midlife including the menopausal transition. The overall goal of SWAN is to describe the chronology of the biological and psychosocial characteristics that occur during midlife and the menopausal transition. In addition, SWAN is describing the effect of the transition and its associated characteristics on subsequent health and risk factors for age related chronic diseases. SWAN was designed to collect and analyze information on demographics, health and social characteristics, reproductive history, pre-existing illness, physical activity, and health practices of mid-life women in multi-ethnic, community-based samples; elucidate factors that differentiate symptomatic from asymptomatic women during the menopausal transition; identify and utilize appropriate markers of the aging of the ovarian-hypothalamo-pituitary axis and relate these markers to alterations in menstrual cycle characteristics as women approach and traverse the menopause; and explain factors that differentiate women most susceptible to long-term pathophysiological consequences of ovarian hormone deficiency from those who are protected. The biological specimen bank can also be linked by identification number (not by participant name) to data collected in the Core SWAN protocol. The specimen bank can also be linked with data from the Daily Hormone Study as well as menstrual calendars. Types of data include: epidemiological data, psychosocial data, physical measures, as well as data from assays (endocrine and cardiovascular information). SWAN has seven clinical study sites located in six states, two in California, and one each in Chicago, Boston, Detroit area, northern New Jersey and Pittsburgh. The SWAN cohort was recruited in 1996/7 and consists of 3302 African American, Caucasian, Chinese American, Hispanic and Japanese American women. Cohort members complete an annual clinic visit. The Core Repository includes over 1.8 million samples from the first 11 years of specimen collection. This includes samples from annual visits and samples from the Daily Hormone Sub-study (DHS). During an Annual visit, participants provide materials for up to 24-28 aliquots to be incorporated into the Repository. During a DHS visit, a participant provides 6 serum samples and between ~30-50 urine samples depending upon the length of her menstrual cycle. DHS participants (887) provide urine samples collected throughout one menstrual cycle each year. A typical DHS collection consists of a blood draw plus collection of 10 ml of urine daily throughout the month-long menstrual cycle, up to 50 days. DHS Repository samples consist of 6 serum samples and 30 5 ml urine samples. Specimen collection occurs from the time of menstrual bleed to the subsequent menstrual bleed or up to 50 days, whichever come first. The current DHS collection consists of more than 200,000 specimens stored in 5 ml vials. The SWAN DNA Repository currently contains extracted diluted DNA from 1538 SWAN participants. B-lymphocytes were transformed with Epstein Barr virus, and the resulting transformed b-cells aliquoted. Information about using these transformed cells for genomic or proteomic studies is available. DNA has been extracted from one aliquot (per woman) of the immortalized cells using the Puregene system. There was an average DNA yield of 217.0 mg/mL and a A260/A280 average ratio of 1.86. This DNA, in turn, has been aliquoted into 20ng/1 ml units for release by the DNA Repository. Samples are free of personal identifiers and collected under consents that allow a broad range of activities related to women''s health. All of these samples are available to researchers who wish to study the midlife and menopausal transition.

NIHPD Objective 2 atlases (birth - 4.5 years) (RRID:SCR_008795) | NIHPD Objective 2 atlases (birth - 4.5 years) | reference atlas, data or information resource, atlas | An unbiased magnetic resonance imaging template brain volume for pediatric data from birth to 4.5y age range. These volumes were created using 317 scans from 108 children enrolled in the NIH-funded MRI study of normal brain development (Almli et al., 2007, Evans and Group 2006). Templates are constructed for different age ranges. Each age range includes an average T1w, T2w, PDw maps normalized between 0 and 100. Also each age range includes a binary brain mask. Tools for using these atlases can be found in the Software section. | pediatric, child, mri, young human, brain, template | has parent organization: McConnell Brain Imaging Center | Aging | nlx_144296 | SCR_008795 | McConnell Brain Imaging Center NIHPD Objective 2 atlases (birth - 4.5 years), BIC NIHPD Objective 2 atlases (birth - 4.5 years) | 2026-02-16 09:47:16 | 4 | |||||||

GLOBOCAN Resource Report Resource Website 100+ mentions |
GLOBOCAN (RRID:SCR_012750) | data set, data or information resource | The aim of the project is to provide contemporary estimates of the incidence of, mortality and prevalence from major types of cancer, at national level, for 184 countries of the world. The GLOBOCAN estimates are presented for 2012, separately for each sex. 1-, 3- and 5-year prevalence data are available for the adult population only (ages 15 and over). Please note that: These estimates are based on the most recent data available at IARC and on information publically available on the Internet, but more recent figures may be available directly from local sources. Because the sources of data are continuously improving in quality and extent, estimates may not be truly comparable overtime and care should be taken when comparing these estimates with those published earlier. The observed differences may be the result of a change in the methodology and should not be interpreted as a time trend effect. | Aging | nlx_156894 | SCR_012750 | 2026-02-16 09:48:29 | 493 | |||||||||||

National Survey of Self-Care and Aging Resource Report Resource Website |
National Survey of Self-Care and Aging (RRID:SCR_013456) | NSSCA | data set, data or information resource | 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 | late adult human, longitudinal, interview, self-care, daily living, behavior, chronic condition, medical, health promotion, disease prevention, social support, health service utilization, socio-demographic, economic, self medication, assisted living, assistive device, chronic illness, health status, institutional care, living arrangement, quality of life |
