Molecular Informatics, Chemometrics, and Sensory Omics for Constructing an Umami Peptide Cluster Library Across the Entire Lager Beer Brewing Process

Umami taste in lager beer not only determined body fullness and the backbone of aftertaste, but also affected the controllability and interpretability of flavor expression across the entire brewing process. Based on stage-wise sampling, pep...

Physical, psychological and behavioural responses of aircraft occupants to volcanic emissions

Abstract Volcanic eruptions produce plumes of ash, gas and aerosols that present a risk to aviation at all standard flight levels. Here, we investigate atmospheric dispersal of volcanic emissions, whether and how they infiltrate aircraft, a...

Corrigendum: New Sesquiterpenoids From Plant-Associated Irpex lacteus

Urine metals concentrations and dyslexia among children in China

Background: Exposures to heavy metals has been linked to many developmental disorders. However, few studies have investigated the effects of exposure and co-exposure to metals on dyslexia, especially with regard to dyslexics in China. Objec...

Formative qualitative research on the potential for digital solutions to address diabetes care gaps in Tanzania and Sri Lanka

Objectives Diabetes care remains unavailable and unaffordable for many people. Adapting models of care to low-income and middle-income country contexts is a priority. Digital technology offers substantial potential yet must surmount health ...

Health technology and health technology assessment

In addition to the doctor, technology is an essential aspect of healthcare. In many parts of the world, a visit to the doctor does not feel complete without a prescription for a drug. Advanced laboratory and imaging technology is indispensa...

A current perspective on medical informatics and health sciences librarianship.

OBJECTIVE: The article offers a current perspective on medical informatics and health sciences librarianship. NARRATIVE: The authors: (1) discuss how definitions of medical informatics have changed in relation to health sciences librariansh...

Exploring barriers and enablers to implementing a digital mental health crisis risk mitigation pathway in acute paediatric care: A multi-site, exploratory mixed-methods study

Objective Children and young people (CYP) presenting in mental health crisis to acute paediatric settings represent a growing clinical and system-level challenge. These environments, primarily designed for physical healthcare, frequently la...

Phosphorus runoff from Canadian agricultural land: A dataset for 30 experimental fields

Phosphorus (P) runoff from agricultural land plays a critical role in downstream water quality. This article summarizes P and sediment runoff data for both snowmelt and rainfall runoff from 30 arable fields in the Canadian provinces of Sask...

DeltaProt: a software toolbox for comparative genomics

Abstract Background Statistical bioinformatics is the study of biological data sets obtained by new micro-technologies by means of proper statistical methods. For a better understanding of environmental adaptations of proteins, orthologous ...

SNPPhenA: a corpus for extracting ranked associations of single-nucleotide polymorphisms and phenotypes from literature

Abstract Background Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are among the most important types of genetic variations influencing common diseases and phenotypes. Recently, some corpora and methods have been developed with the purpose of extra...

Medical and Health-Related Misinformation on Social Media: Bibliometric Study of the Scientific Literature

BackgroundSocial media has been extensively used for the communication of health-related information and consecutively for the potential spread of medical misinformation. Conventional systematic reviews have been published on this topic to ...

Medical informatics education.

Medical Informatics is a multidisciplinary field, dealing mainly with informatics and technology applications in health care. Medical Informatics is composed from a number of sub-areas such as computer based patient record (CPR), processing...

Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) for Interoperability in Health Research: Systematic Review

BackgroundThe standard Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) is widely used in health information technology. However, its use as a standard for health research is still less prevalent. To use existing data sources more efficien...

Statistical data for the tensile properties and static fatigue of sic-based bundles

Due to their high specific strength at elevated temperatures and resistance to oxidative environments, SiC-based fibers are of great interest for the reinforcement of ceramic matrix composites. They are however subjected to a slow crack gro...

Automated measurement of CD8+ T-cell distribution at the tumor epithelial–stromal interface is associated with NSCLC immunotherapy benefit and transcriptomic pathways

Whereas anti-PD-(L)1 therapies are widely used in cancer treatment, only a subset of patients achieve long-term survival. Companion diagnostics based on PD-L1 expression have limited predictive power for these therapies, motivating developm...

Digital quality gradient and the burden of elderly depression: A spatial multi kernel SVR analysis of socio economically vulnerable groups in England

Digital infrastructure is increasingly understood as part of the contemporary built environment and as a policy-relevant area-level correlate of older adults’ mental health. Existing studies have often relied on linear models and have paid ...

Modeling a medical environment: an ontology for integrated medical informatics design

Performance of computational algorithms to deconvolve heterogeneous bulk ovarian tumor tissue depends on experimental factors

Abstract Background Single-cell gene expression profiling provides unique opportunities to understand tumor heterogeneity and the tumor microenvironment. Because of cost and feasibility, profiling bulk tumors remains the primary population-...

The Role of iSchools in Medical Informatics

Similar to iSchools, healthcare is an interdisciplinary field that encompasses heterogeneous environments (e.g., hospitals, clinics, home) and perspectives. However, medical informatics research focuses mainly on technical solutions to narr...
