A database of interactions between HIV-1 and human proteins published in the peer-reviewed literature. The goal is to provide a concise, yet detailed, summary of all known interactions of HIV-1 proteins with host cell proteins, other HIV-1 proteins, or proteins from disease organisms associated with HIV/AIDS. For each HIV-1 human protein interaction the following information is provided: * NCBI Reference Sequence (RefSeq) protein accession numbers. * NCBI Entrez Gene ID numbers. * Amino acids from each protein that are known to be involved in the interaction. * Brief description of the protein-protein interaction. * Keywords to support searching for interactions. * PubMed identification numbers (PMIDs) for all journal articles describing the interaction. In addition, all protein-protein interactions documented in the database are integrated into Entrez Gene records and listed in the ''HIV-1 protein interactions'' section of Entrez Gene reports. The database is also tightly linked to other databases through Entrez Gene, enabling users to search for an abundance of information related to HIV pathogenesis and replication.

Database that contains measures of gait from 93 patients with idiopathic PD (mean age: 66.3 years; 63% men), and 73 healthy controls (mean age: 66.3 years; 55% men). The database includes the vertical ground reaction force records of subjects as they walked at their usual, self-selected pace for approximately 2 minutes on level ground. Underneath each foot were 8 sensors (Ultraflex Computer Dyno Graphy, Infotronic Inc.) that measure force (in Newtons) as a function of time. The output of each of these 16 sensors has been digitized and recorded at 100 samples per second, and the records also include two signals that reflect the sum of the 8 sensor outputs for each foot. This database also includes demographic information, measures of disease severity (i.e., using the Hoehn & Yahr staging and/or the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale) and other related measures (available in HTML or xls spreadsheet format). A subset of the database includes measures recorded as subjects performed a second task (serial 7 subtractions) while walking, which shows excerpts of swing time series from a patient with PD and a control subject, under usual walking conditions and when performing serial 7 subtractions. Under usual walking conditions, variability is larger in the patient with PD (Coefficient of Variation = 2.7%), compared to the control subject (CV = 1.3%). Variability increases during dual tasking in the subject with PD (CV = 6.5%), but not in the control subject (CV = 1.2%).

Publicly available database of the genes, proteins, experimentally-verified interactions and signaling pathways involved in the innate immune response of humans, mice and bovines to microbial infection. The database captures coverage of the innate immunity interactome by integrating known interactions and pathways from major public databases together with manually-curated data into a centralized resource. The database can be mined as a knowledgebase or used with the integrated bioinformatics and visualization tools for the systems level analysis of the innate immune response. Although InnateDB curation focuses on innate immunity-relevant interactions and pathways, it also incorporates detailed annotation on the entire human, mouse and bovine interactomes by integrating data (178,000+ interactions & 3,900+ pathways) from several of the major public interaction and pathway databases. InnateDB also has integrated human, mouse and bovine orthology predictions generated using Ortholgue software. Ortholgue uses a phylogenetic distance-based method to identify possible paralogs in high-throughput orthology predictions. Integrated human and mouse conserved gene order and synteny information has also been determined to provide further support for orthology predictions. InnateDB Capabilities: * View statistics for manually-curated innate immunity relevant molecular interactions. New manually curated interactions are submitted weekly. * Search for genes and proteins of interest. * Search for experimentally-verified molecular interactions by gene/protein name, interaction type, cell type, etc. * Search genes/interactions belonging to 3,900 pathways. * Visualize interactions using an intuitive subcellular localization-based layout in Cerebral. * Upload your own list of genes along with associated gene expression data (from up to 10 experimental conditions) to interactively analyze this data in a molecular interaction network context. Once you have uploaded your data, you will be able to interactively visualize interaction networks with expression data overlaid; carry out Pathway, Gene Ontology and Transcription Factor Binding Site over-representation analyses; construct orthologous interaction networks in other species; and much more. * Access curated interaction data via a dedicated PSICQUIC webservice.

Data set of extensive information on the changing circumstances of aged and disabled beneficiaries - Living, noninstitutionalized population of the continental United States from the Social Security Administration''''s Master Benefit Record who were new recipients of Social Security benefits (first payment in mid-1980 through mid-1981) or who had established entitlement to Medicare and were eligible for, but had not received, Social Security benefits as of July 1982. Based initially on a national cross-sectional survey of new beneficiaries in 1982, the original data base was expanded with information from administrative records and a second round of interviews in 1991. Variables measured in the original New Beneficiary Survey (NBS) include demographic characteristics; employment, marital, and childbearing histories; household composition; health; income and assets; program knowledge; and information about the spouses of married respondents. The 1991 New Beneficiary Follow-up (NBF) updated marital status, household composition, and the economic profile and contains additional sections on family contacts, postretirement employment, effects of widowhood and divorce, major reasons for changes in economic status, a more extensive section on health, and information on household moves and reasons for moving. Disabled-worker beneficiaries were also asked about their efforts to return to work, experiences with rehabilitation services, and knowledge of SSA work incentive provisions. The NBDS also links to administrative files of yearly covered earnings from 1951 to 1992, Medicare expenditures from 1984 to 1999, whether an SSI application has ever been made and payment status at five points in time, and dates of death as of spring 2001. For studies of health, the Medicare expenditure variables include inpatient hospital costs, outpatient hospital costs, home health care costs, and physicians'''' charges. The survey data cover functional capacity including ADLs and IADLs. For studies of work in retirement, the survey includes yearly information on extent of work, characteristics of the current or last job, and reasons for working or not working. No other data set has such detailed baseline survey data of a population immediately after retirement or disability, enhanced with subsequent measures over an extended period of time. The data are publicly available through NACDA and the Social Security Administration Website. * Dates of Study: 1982-1991 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 18,136 (NBS 1981) ** 12,677 (NBF 1991) Links: * 1982 (ICPSR): http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08510 * 1991 (ICPSR): http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/06118

The goal of this follow-up study of mothers who participated in the Hyperglycemia and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes (HAPO) study is to determine the levels of blood sugar during pregnancy that are linked to increased body fat in the child, as well as to determine the chances of a mother developing diabetes 8-12 years after the pregnancy. The original study examined 23,316 mother-child pairs, and researchers determined that the hyperglycemia of a mother was linked to newborn birth weight and body fat. HAPO-FUS will enroll 7,000 or the original HAPO mother-child pairs for one follow-up visit to assess body composition, blucose metabolism, medical history, and other metabolic parameters.

http://www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb/informationGateway.php

A computerized data set of demographic, economic and social data for 227 countries of the world. Information presented includes population, health, nutrition, mortality, fertility, family planning and contraceptive use, literacy, housing, and economic activity data. Tabular data are broken down by such variables as age, sex, and urban/rural residence. Data are organized as a series of statistical tables identified by country and table number. Each record consists of the data values associated with a single row of a given table. There are 105 tables with data for 208 countries. The second file is a note file, containing text of notes associated with various tables. These notes provide information such as definitions of categories (i.e. urban/rural) and how various values were calculated. The IDB was created in the U.S. Census Bureau''s International Programs Center (IPC) to help IPC staff meet the needs of organizations that sponsor IPC research. The IDB provides quick access to specialized information, with emphasis on demographic measures, for individual countries or groups of countries. The IDB combines data from country sources (typically censuses and surveys) with IPC estimates and projections to provide information dating back as far as 1950 and as far ahead as 2050. Because the IDB is maintained as a research tool for IPC sponsor requirements, the amount of information available may vary by country. As funding and research activity permit, the IPC updates and expands the data base content. Types of data include: * Population by age and sex * Vital rates, infant mortality, and life tables * Fertility and child survivorship * Migration * Marital status * Family planning Data characteristics: * Temporal: Selected years, 1950present, projected demographic data to 2050. * Spatial: 227 countries and areas. * Resolution: National population, selected data by urban/rural * residence, selected data by age and sex. Sources of data include: * U.S. Census Bureau * International projects (e.g., the Demographic and Health Survey) * United Nations agencies Links: * ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08490

A dataset generated longitudinal study that aims to explain the relationship between age and changes in the sense of control over one''''s life, over two follow-up periods. The main hypotheses are (a) over a period of time, the sense of control declines by an amount that increases with age; (b) the change in sense of control reflects an underlying change in biosocial function, which accelerates with age; (c) higher social status slows the decline in the sense of control, possibly by preserving biosocial function; and (d) changes in biosocial function and in the sense of control have deviation-amplifying reciprocal effects that accelerate age-dependent changes in the sense of control. This was a three-wave panel survey with fixed 3-year intervals and repeated assessments of the same variables. Questionnaire topics focused on: physical health (subjective health; activities of daily living; height and weight; health conditions; expected personal longevity); health behavior (exercise, smoking, diet, alcohol use); use of medical services (medical insurance coverage, prescription drug use); work status (current employment status; title of current job or occupation and job description; types of work, tasks, or activities; description of work or daily activity and interactions; supervisory status; management position and level; work history); sense of controlextent of agreement or disagreement with planning and responsibility versus luck and bad breaks; sense of victimhood versus control; social support and participation; personal and household demographics; marital and family relations; socioeconomic status; history of adversity. * Dates of Study: 1994-2001 * Sample Size: 2,593 (Waves 1-2); 1.144 (Wave 3) * Study Features: Longitudinal Data Archives: http://www.sscnet.ucla.edu/issr/da/da_catalog/da_catalog_titleRecord.php?studynumber=I3334V1

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/lsoa.htm

A data set of a multicohort study of persons 70 years of age and over designed primarily to measure changes in the health, functional status, living arrangements, and health services utilization of two cohorts of Americans as they move into and through the oldest ages. The project is comprised of four surveys: * The 1984 Supplement on Aging (SOA) * The 1984-1990 Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA) * The 1994 Second Supplement on Aging (SOA II) * The 1994-2000 Second Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA II) The surveys, administered by the U.S. Census Bureau, provide a mechanism for monitoring the impact of proposed changes in Medicare and Medicaid and the accelerating shift toward managed care on the health status of the elderly and their patterns of health care utilization. SOA and SOA II were conducted as part of the in-person National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) of noninstitutionalized elderly people aged 55 years and over living in the United States in 1984, and at least 70 years of age in 1994, respectively. The 1984 SOA served as the baseline for the LSOA, which followed all persons who were 70 years of age and over in 1984 through three follow-up waves, conducted by telephone in 1986, 1988, and 1990. The SOA covered housing characteristics, family structure and living arrangements, relationships and social contracts, use of community services, occupation and retirement (income sources), health conditions and impairments, functional status, assistance with basic activities, utilization of health services, nursing home stays, and health opinions. Most of the questions from the SOA were repeated in the SOA II. Topics new to the SOA II included use of assistive devices and medical implants; health conditions and impairments; health behaviors; transportation; functional status, assistance with basic activities, unmet needs; utilization of health services; and nursing home stays. The major focus of the LSOA follow-up interviews was on functional status and changes that had occurred between interviews. Information was also collected on housing and living arrangements, contact with children, utilization of health services and nursing home stays, health insurance coverage, and income. LSOA II also included items on cognitive functioning, income and assets, family and childhood health, and more extensive health insurance information. The interview data are augmented by linkage to Medicare enrollment and utilization records, the National Death Index, and multiple cause-of-death records. Data Availability: Copies of the LSOA CD-ROMs are available through the NCHS or through ICPSR as Study number 8719. * Dates of Study: 1984-2000 * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: ** 1984: 16,148 (55+, SOA) ** 1984: 7,541(70+, LSOA) ** 1986: 5,151 (LSOA followup 1) ** 1988: 6,921 (LSOA followup 2) ** 1990: 5,978 (LSOA followup 3) ** 1994-6: 9,447 (LSOA II baseline) ** 1997-8: 7,998 (LSOA II wave 2) ** 1999-0: 6,465 (LSOA II wave 3) Link: * LSOA 1984-1990 ICPSR: http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/ICPSR/studies/08719

http://www.mortality.org/

A database providing detailed mortality and population data to those interested in the history of human longevity. For each country, the database includes calculated death rates and life tables by age, time, and sex, along with all of the raw data (vital statistics, census counts, population estimates) used in computing these quantities. Data are presented in a variety of formats with regard to age groups and time periods. The main goal of the database is to document the longevity revolution of the modern era and to facilitate research into its causes and consequences. New data series is continually added to this collection. However, the database is limited by design to populations where death registration and census data are virtually complete, since this type of information is required for the uniform method used to reconstruct historical data series. As a result, the countries and areas included are relatively wealthy and for the most part highly industrialized. The database replaces an earlier NIA-funded project, known as the Berkeley Mortality Database. * Dates of Study: 1751-present * Study Features: Longitudinal, International * Sample Size: 37 countries or areas

Data set of manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. Please see the MediaWiki for more information. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results.

A dataset that combines federal and state administrative data on employers and employees with core Census Bureau censuses and surveys, while protecting the confidentiality of people and firms that provide the data. This data infrastructure facilitates longitudinal research applications in both the household / individual and firm / establishment dimensions. The specific research is targeted at filling an important gap in the available data on older workers by providing information on the demand side of the labor market. These datasets comprise Title 13 protected data from the Current Population Surveys, Surveys of Income and Program Participation, Surveys of Program Dynamics, American Community Surveys, the Business Register, and Economic Censuses and Surveys. With few exceptions, states have partnered with the Census Bureau to share data. As of December 2008, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Puerto Rico have not signed a partnership agreement, while a partnership with the Virgin Islands is pending. LEHD's second method of developing employer-employee data relations through the use of federal tax data has been completed. LEHD has produced summary tables on accessions, separation, job creation, destruction and earnings by age and sex of worker by industry and geographic area. The data files consist of longitudinal datasets on all firms in each participating state (quarterly data, 1991- 2003), with information on age, sex, turnover, and skill level of the workforce as well as standard information on employment, payroll, sales and location. These data can be accessed for all available states from the Project Website. Data Availability: Research conducted on the LEHD data and other products developed under this proposal at the Census Bureau takes place under a set of rules and limitations that are considerably more constraining than those prevailing in typical research environments. If state data are requested, the successful peer-reviewed proposals must also be approved by the participating state. If federal tax data are requested, the successful peer-reviewed proposals must also be approved by the Internal Revenue Service. Researchers using the LEHD data will be required to obtain Special Sworn Status from the Census Bureau and be subject to the same legal penalties as regular Census Bureau employees for disclosure of confidential information. Basic instructions on how to download the data files and restrictions can be found on the Project Website. * Dates of Study: 1991-present * Study Features: Longitudinal * Sample Size: 48 States or U.S. territories

Data set from a randomized controlled trial of cognitive interventions designed to maintain functional independence in elders by improving basic mental abilities. Several features made ACTIVE unique in the field of cognitive interventions: (a) use of a multi-site, randomized, controlled, single-blind design; (b) intervention on a large, diverse sample; (c) use of common multi-site intervention protocols, (d) primary outcomes focused on long-term, cognitively demanding functioning as measured by performance-based tests of daily activities; and (e) an intent-to-treat analytical approach. The clinical trial ended with the second annual post-test in January 2002. A third annual post-test was completed in December 2003. The area population and recruitment strategies at the six field sites provided a study sample varying in racial, ethnic, gender, socioeconomic, and cognitive characteristics. At baseline, data were collected by telephone for eligibility screening, followed by three in-person assessment sessions, including two individual sessions and one group session, and a self-administered questionnaire. At post-tests, data were collected in-person in one individual session and one group session as well as by self-administered questionnaire. There were four major categories of measures: proximal outcomes (measures of cognitive abilities that were direct targets of training), primary outcomes (measures of everyday functioning, both self-report and performance), secondary outcomes (measures of health, mobility, quality of life, and service utilization), and covariates (chronic disease, physical characteristics, depressive symptoms, cognitive impairment, psychosocial variables, and demographics). Phase I of ACTIVE was a randomized controlled, single-blind trial utilizing a four-group design, including three treatment arms and a no-contact control group. Each treatment arm consisted of a 10-session intervention for one of three cognitive abilities memory, reasoning, and speed of processing. Testers were blind to participant treatment assignment. The design allowed for testing of both social contact effects (via the contact control group) and retest effects (via the no-contact control group) on outcomes. Booster training was provided in each treatment arm to a 60% random subsample prior to first annual post-test. Phase II of ACTIVE started in July, 2003 as a follow-up study focused on measuring the long-term impact of training effects on cognitive function and cognitively demanding everyday activities. The follow-up consisted of one assessment to include the Phase I post-test battery. This was completed in late 2004.
