Toward Building Better Biomarkers Statistical Methodology
Clinical Considerations
There is concern regarding the clinical utility of biomarkers in kidney disease (Acute Kidney Injury [AKI], Chronic Kidney Disease [CKD], various forms of glomerulonephritis [GN], and polycystic kidney disease [PKD]) for prediction of diverse clinical outcomes (such as loss of renal function, development of cardiovascular disease, diminution of quality of life, death), as well as in drug development (for refinement of risk stratification or drug response). There is dissatisfaction with the results of published biomarker studies and the lack of uptake of biomarkers in clinical practice in patients...

How to Learn in "The Learning Healthcare System"
National Library of Medicine Informatics Lecture Series
The Institute of Medicine has argued for more than 20 years that we should view every patient interaction as an (uncontrolled) experiment, and learn from its outcome. Dr. Szolovits has been a participant in numerous collaborative projects, trying to apply this method to data about a broad range of patients suffering from conditions such as arthritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, autism, depression. In this lecture, he will review some of the methodological challenges he has encountered and the hard-won lessons he has learned. These...

NIH Pathways to Prevention: Advancing the Research on Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Day 2)
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex, multifaceted disorder characterized by extreme fatigue and a host of other symptoms that can worsen after physical or mental activity, but do not improve with rest. In addition to extreme fatigue, people with ME/CFS may also experience:
Widespread muscle and joint pain
Sore throat
Tender lymph nodes in the neck or armpit
Headaches
Sleep problems
Difficulty with short-term memory or concentration
Effects of the illness can range from moderate to debilitating, and can substantially impact everyday functioning. Routine daily activities such as cooking ...

Redox Biology 2014 - NADPH Oxidase, Redox Imaging
Redox Biology
Recent advances in the biochemistry of redox-active species and radicals are beginning to be translated into improvements in prevention and treatment of cancer. Traditionally, reactive species such as superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide (NO) are associated with toxicity; however, NO is useful in the treatment of angina and cardiovascular disease. Also, NO is involved in cancer tumor angiogenesis and apoptosis of cancer cells. This course is an overview presenting how redox-active species and radicals are generated; their effects on the cellular and physiological level, how they alter carcinogene...
