Burkitt lymphoma: a model of polymicrobial carcinogenesis and global oncology
NIH Director's Seminar
It has been just over 50 years since the description of Burkitt Lymphoma (BL) as an unusual tumor affecting jaws of African children. Seminal discoveries linked to BL includ Epstein-Barr virus, the first human virus linked to a human cancer, the linkage of BL to Plasmodium falciparum malaria, chromosomal translocations involving c-myc and immunoglobulin promoter elements, and demonstration of rapid and curative response to chemotherapy. Dubbed the Rosetta stone of cancer, BL became a complex model for carcinogenesis involving poly-microbes, immunity and host-genetics.
Fifty years later, many fundam...

Phenotypical Cohort Retrieval Using the Multi-Institutional Pediatric Epilepsy Decision Support (MiPeds) System
National Library of Medicine Informatics Lecture Series:
The Multi-Institutional Pediatric Epilepsy Decision Support (MiPeds) system provides point-of-care surveillance of phenotypically similar pediatric epilepsy patients using the electronic health records (EHR) from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, and Children’s Hospital of Colorado. Using this near real-time cohort retrieval system, the three organizations can review similarities and differences in clinical measures like: medication side-effects, types of seizures, seizure frequency, quality of life, neurolog...

Ethics Rounds: Whole Exome Sequencing in the Clinical Setting: Implications for Research
Ethics Rounds
“Whole Exome Sequencing in the Clinical Setting: Implications for Research”
The use of whole exome sequencing in the clinical setting has the potential to significantly increase the amount of information available to patients. When this information conflicts with information obtained in the research setting, investigators are faced with the question of whether they should pursue follow-up testing. Please join us to discuss to what extent researchers are responsible for their subjects’ clinical care and to what extent researchers should conduct testing for clinical purposes
The program shou...
