Neuroinformatics: A tool for assessment of complex neurological disease
نویسنده
چکیده
The advanced bioinformatics technologies are accepted for usefulness in medicine and public health. It can be useful for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. The neuroinformatics is a specific subject of bioinformatics dealing with omics technology for neurology. Several new software and computation tools are developed for serving as databases as well as simulation tools in neuroinformatics [1]. The good example of network in neuroinformatics is CATI, “a platform dedicated to multicenter neuroimaging” which was initiated by the French Alzheimer's plan [2].

Pain is a major concern in all intensive care units (ICUs). The proper assessment and management of pain is one of the main goals of patient care in ICUs. Improper evaluation of pain and its over or under treatment can cause significant problems in the process of patient management in ICU. Since most ICU patients are unable to communicate correctly with the ICU team and explain their level of p...
