THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented October 13, 2014. The resource has moved to the NIDDKInformation Network (dkNET) project. Contact them at info_at_dknet.org with any questions. Database of large pools of data relevant to the mission of NIDDKwith the goal of developing a community-based network for integration across disciplines to include the larger DKuniverse of diseases, investigators, and potential users. The focus is on greater use of this data with the objective of adding value by breaking down barriers between sites to facilitate linking of different datasets. To date (2013/06/10), a total of 1,195 resources have been associated with one or more genes. Of 11,580 total genes associated with resources, the ten most represented are associated with 359 distinct resources. The main method by which they currently interconnect resources between the providers is via EntrezGene identifiers. A total of 780 unique genes provide the connectivity between 3,159 resource pairs across consortia. To further increase interconnectivity, the groups have been further annotating their data with additional gene identifiers, publications, and ontology terms from selected Open Biological and Biomedical Ontologies (OBO).

An accurate and reliable method for identifying athletes with head trauma, and a strong candidate rapid sideline screening test for concussion. The test is able to capture impairments of eye movement, attention, language and other symptoms of impaired brain function. It is a physical method of evaluating visual tracking and saccadic eye movements is based on the time to perform rapid number naming. It involves reading aloud a series of single digit numbers from left to right on three test cards. Participants are asked to read the numbers on each card from left to right as quickly as possible but without making any errors. The sum of the three test card time scores constitutes the summary score for the entire test. The test is a proven indicator of oculomotor inefficiencies regarding eye movements during reading. Published medical studies have determined that deficiencies in saccadic eye movements can be an indicator of mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) or concussions. Studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between poor oculomotor functions and learning disabilities (including dyslexia detection). Saccadic eye movement deficiencies can be improved with training and correspondingly reading performance also can be improved. Simply put, subjects who don''t perform well on this test are not efficient readers, although because there are many reasons for poor reading unrelated to eye movements, some poor readers do fine on the test. They believe that the test should be in the hands of teachers in order to help them determine if a student''s poor reading performance is related to deficiencies in their ability to move their eyes efficiently.

Gift of Hope Organ & Tissue Donor Network is proud to serve as the federally designated not-for-profit agency that coordinates organ and tissue donation and supports families of donors in the northern three-quarters of Illinois and northwest Indiana. Since our inception in 1986, we have coordinated donations that have saved the lives of 17,000 organ transplant recipients and helped hundreds of thousands of other patients receive needed tissue transplants. As one of 58 organ procurement organizations (OPOs) that make up the nation''s organ donation system, we work with 179 hospitals in our donation service area. In managing the recovery, care and transportation of donated organs to transplant patients, we work closely with Illinois'' nine transplant centers, which operate 32 transplant programs. We also work with other transplant centers and other OPOs through the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) to provide lifesaving organs for patients awaiting them. UNOS is the federally mandated registration center for organ transplant candidates in the United States. UNOS'' computer-based system matches donated organs with patients in need, in accordance with strict federal guidelines intended to ensure equitable distribution.

http://www.mrn.org/

Non-profit organization focused on imaging technology that is dedicated to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and brain injury. MRN consists of an interdisciplinary association of scientists located at universities, national laboratories and research centers around the world and is focused on imaging technology and its emergence as an integral element of neuroscience investigation. The MRNs initial plan called for the building of state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG) neuroimaging systems to be applied to studies of mental illness. This important task was carried out by Minds initial collaborators: Massachusetts General Hospitals Martinos Biomedical Imaging Center (Harvard and MIT), the University of Minnesota, the University of New Mexico, and Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since both the Network and the mission have expanded beyond building neuroimaging tools, a comprehensive understanding of mental illness and more fundamental and systematic understanding of the brain, is possible. The MRN Mobile Imaging system is a custom designed one-of-a-kind facility.

Revlimid is also approved in the United States for the treatment of patients with transfusion-dependent anemia due to Low- or Intermediate-1-risk Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) associated with a deletion 5q cytogenetic abnormality with or without additional cytogenetic abnormalities. Both Thalomid and Revlimid are sold through proprietary risk-management distribution programs to ensure safe and appropriate use of these pharmaceuticals. Vidaza is approved for the treatment of patients with MDS. Celgene also receives royalties from Novartis Pharma AG on sales of the entire Ritalin family of drugs, which are widely used to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
