National clinical trial registry by Ministry of Health of China to join World Health Organization International Clinical Trial Registration Platform (WHO ICTRP Primary Registry), and the approved Primary Registry of WHO ICTRP. It registers both Chinese and global clinical trials, receives data from Partner Registers certified by the WHO ICTRP, and submits data to the WHO ICTRP Central Repository for global search. Moreover, based upon the talent and technical platform, consisting of Chinese Evidence-based Medicine Centre of Ministry of Health of China, Virtual Research Centre of Evidence-Based Medicine of Ministry of Education of China, Chinese Cochrane Centre, UK Cochrane Centre and International Clinical Epidemiology Network Resource and Training Centre in West China Hospital, Sichuan University (INCLEN CERTC), ChiCTR is responsible for providing consultations on trial design, central randomization service, guidance on the writing of clinical trial reports and relevant training. WHO takes the lead in establishing the global clinical trial registration system, which is agreed upon by governments from all over the world. There are both ethical and scientific reasons for clinical trial registration. Trial participants expect that their contributions to biomedical knowledge will be used to improve health care for everyone. Open access to information about ongoing and completed trials meets the ethical duty to trial participants, and promotes greater trust and public confidence in clinical research. Furthermore, trial registration ensures that the results of all trials can be tracked down and should help to reduce unnecessary duplication of research through greater awareness of existing trials and results. The mission of ChiCTR is to Unite clinicians, clinical epidemiologists, biostatisticians, epidemiologists and health care managers both at home and abroad, to manage clinical trials in a strict and scientific manner, and to promote their quality in China, so as to provide reliable evidences from clinical trials for health care workers, consumers and medical policy decision makers, and also to use medical resources more effectively to provide better service for Chinese people and all human beings. Any trial performed in human beings is considered as a clinical trial, and should be registered before its implementation. All the registered clinical trials will be granted a unique registration number by WHO ICTRP.

http://www.h-outcomes.com/

Software application that supports the execution of multivariable prediction models with patient-specific characteristics so that personalized estimates of outcomes, often as a function of alternative treatments, can be generated within the routine flow of patient care. This can support evidence-based, shared medical decision-making to improve the safety, outcomes and cost-effectiveness of care. The current application is in the setting of generating individualized informed consent documents for PCI. However, the tool can support that translation of novel biomarkers, genetics and pharmacogenomic interactions into clinical care. The platform gives healthcare providers instantaneous access to the latest clinical prediction models coupled with rich visualization tools. These models may come from national organizations, outcomes researchers or a specific institution. In addition to decision support applications, it can be used to rapidly create personalized educational materials, patient letters, informed consent documents and a broad array of other items that can help elevate the quality of healthcare delivery.

http://ctakes.apache.org

An open-source natural language processing system for information extraction from electronic medical record clinical free-text. This is a system through which one creates one or more pipelines to process clinical notes and to identify clinical named entities. It processes clinical notes, identifying types of clinical named entities, drugs, diseases/disorders, signs/symptoms, anatomical sites and procedures. Each named entity that is found is given attributes for the text span, the ontology mapping code, the context (family history of, current, unrelated to patient), and negated/not negated. cTAKES is built on the UIMA framework. cTAKES 2.5 does not provide a GUI of its own for installation or processing. The cTAKES documentation shows how to use the GUIs provided by the UIMA framework, and how to run cTAKES from a command line. Before using cTAKES you need to know that cTAKES does not provide any mechanisms of its own to handle patient data securely. It is assumed that cTAKES is installed on a system that can process patient data, or that any data being processed by cTAKES has already been through a deidentification step in order to comply with any applicable laws. The tool has been developed and deployed at Mayo Clinic since early 2000.

http://www.nkdep.nih.gov/lab-evaluation/gfr/creatinine-standardization.shtml

Standard specification to reduce inter-laboratory variation in creatinine assay calibration and therefore enable more accurate estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Created by NKDEP''''s Laboratory Working Group in collaboration with the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and the European Communities Confederation of Clinical Chemistry (now called the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine), the effort is part of a larger NKDEP initiative to help health care providers better identify and treat chronic kidney disease in order to prevent or delay kidney failure and improve patient outcomes. Recommendations are intended for the USA and other countries or regions that have largely completed standardization of creatinine calibration to be traceable to an isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) reference measurement procedure. The program''''s focus is to facilitate the sharing of information to assist in vitro diagnostic manufacturers, clinical laboratories, and others in the laboratory community with calibrating their serum creatinine measurement procedures to be traceable to isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS). The program also supports manufacturers'''' efforts to encourage their customers in the laboratory to coordinate use of standardized creatinine methods with implementation of a revised GFR estimating equation appropriate for use with standardized creatinine methods. Communication resources and other information for various segments of the laboratory community are available in the Creatinine Standardization Recommendations section of the website. Also available is a protocol for calibrating creatinine measurements using whole blood devices. The National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) released a standard reference material (SRM 967 Creatinine in Frozen Human Serum) for use in establishing calibrations for routine creatinine measurement procedures. SRM 967 was validated to be commutable with native serum samples for many routine creatinine procedures and is useful to establish or verify traceability to an IDMS reference measurement procedure. Establishing calibrations for serum creatinine methods using SRM 967 not only provides a mechanism for ensuring more accurate measurement of serum creatinine, but also enables more accurate estimates of GFR. For clinical laboratories interested in independently checking the calibration supplied by their creatinine reagent suppliers/manufacturers, periodic measurement of NIST SRM 967 should be considered for inclusion in the lab''''s internal quality assurance program. To learn more about SRM 967, including how to purchase it, visit the NIST website, https://www-s.nist.gov/srmors/quickSearch.cfm

Data set of raw anatomical and functional MR data from 72 patients with Schizophrenia and 75 healthy controls (ages ranging from 18 to 65 in each group). All subjects were screened and excluded if they had: history of neurological disorder, history of mental retardation, history of severe head trauma with more than 5 minutes loss of consciousness, history of substance abuse or dependence within the last 12 months. Diagnostic information was collected using the Structured Clinical Interview used for DSM Disorders (SCID). A multi-echo MPRAGE (MEMPR) sequence was used with the following parameters: TR/TE/TI = 2530/(1.64, 3.5, 5.36, 7.22, 9.08)/900 ms, flip angle = 7��, FOV = 256x256 mm, Slab thickness = 176 mm, Matrix = 256x256x176, Voxel size =1x1x1 mm, Number of echos = 5, Pixel bandwidth =650 Hz, Total scan time = 6 min. With 5 echoes, the TR, TI and time to encode partitions for the MEMPR are similar to that of a conventional MPRAGE, resulting in similar GM/WM/CSF contrast. Rest data was collected with single-shot full k-space echo-planar imaging (EPI) with ramp sampling correction using the intercomissural line (AC-PC) as a reference (TR: 2 s, TE: 29 ms, matrix size: 64x64, 32 slices, voxel size: 3x3x4 mm3). Slice Acquisition Order: Rest scan - collected in the Axial plane - series ascending - multi slice mode - interleaved MPRAGE - collected in the Sag plane - series interleaved - multi slice mode - single shot The following data are released for every participant: * Resting fMRI * Anatomical MRI * Phenotypic data for every participant including: gender, age, handedness and diagnostic information.
