This is similar to enhance the ICT tools within Malaysia in achieving 2020 Vision to make Malays...

OBJECTIVES To establish the pattern of change in individual scientific production over the career of medical researchers. DESIGN Retrospective cohort based on prospectively collected data in a hospital information system. SETTING Multicentre university hospital in France. PARTICIPANTS Two distinct populations of 1835 researchers (full professors vs non-academic physicians) having produced...

Primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET) of the brain include medulloblastoma (MB) and central nervous system primitive neuroectodermal tumor (CNS PNET) subtypes, which share histological features yet differ at the genomic level and in clinical outcome. Delineation of the genetic anomalies between PNET subtypes is a current challenge for establishing effective targeted therapeutic strategies aga...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to design an integrated data management system based on the POCT1-A2, LIS2-A, LIS2-A2, and HL7 standard to ensure data interoperability between mobile equipment, such as point-of-care testing equipment and the existing hospital data system, its efficiency was also evaluated. METHODS The method of this study was intended to design and realize a data man...

Drosophila has long been a premier model for the development and application of cutting-edge genetic approaches. The CRISPR-Cas system now adds the ability to manipulate the genome with ease and precision, providing a rich toolbox to interrogate relationships between genotype and phenotype, to delineate and visualize how the genome is organized, to illuminate and manipulate RNA, and to pioneer ...

OBJECTIVE To use a multilevel analysis methodology to evaluate hospital mortality from the data available in the Hospital Information System of the National Unified Health System. METHODS Cross-sectional study with data obtained from Authorization Forms for Hospital Admissions in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil in 2005. The modeling was performed using multilevel logistic regression, with variables...

STUDY OBJECTIVE The aim was to develop a local health information system for monitoring health status and for contributing to the development of local health policy. DESIGN At district or even at neighbourhood level, data are collected on health status and factors related to health, including lifestyle, social and physical and environment, and the health care system. Data are collected from c...

A high incidence of major malformations of the central nervous system has been reported from both Northern Ireland (Stevenson, Johnston, Stewart, and Golding, 1966) and the Irish Republic (Coffey and Jessop, 1957). These studies, however, were based on hospital births only, leaving some doubt as to whether these high frequencies are real or partly due to preselection of such cases for managemen...

This study recorded the rate of congenital malformations in 10000 births at a referral hospital in Gorgan, Islamic Republic of Iran in 1998-99. The overall incidence of congenital malformations was 1.01% (1.19% in males and 0.76% in females). Anomalies of the musculoskeletal system had the highest incidence (0.38%), followed by central nervous system (0.28%) and genitourinary system (0.25%). Th...
