Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs02:26

Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs

Sequencing of the human genome has opened up several best-kept secrets of the genome. Scientists have identified thousands of genome variations that exist within a population. These variations can be a single nucleotide or a larger chromosomal variation.
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...
Next-generation Sequencing03:00

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features.
Nursing Clinical Information System01:27

Nursing Clinical Information System

Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS)
A Nursing Clinical Information System (NCIS) is a specialized type of healthcare information system tailored to meet the unique needs of nursing practice. It incorporates the principles of nursing informatics to streamline information management and improve the quality of care delivery.
Critical attributes of NCIS include:
Sanger Sequencing01:57

Sanger Sequencing

DNA sequencing is a fundamental technique that is routinely used in the biological sciences. This method can be applied to a range of questions at different scales - from the sequencing of a cloned DNA fragment or the study of a mutation in a gene up to whole-genome sequencing. However, despite the widespread use of sequencing today, it was not until 1977 that Fredrick Sanger and his collaborators developed the chain-termination method to decode DNA sequences. It relies on the separation of a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Clinical Terminology Management

Background:

  • Systematized Nomenclature of Medicine Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT) is a comprehensive clinical terminology.
  • Regular updates to SNOMED CT introduce changes to its concepts.
  • The impact of these changes on clinical data is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and analyze the types of changes occurring in SNOMED CT releases.
  • To assess the implications of these SNOMED CT changes on clinical data, specifically the CORE Problem List.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewed SNOMED CT Component History documentation and tables.
  • Identified semantic changes not captured by the Component History mechanism.
  • Examined changes in the SNOMED CT Concept Model since July 2006.
  • Applied these methods to the Clinical Observations Recording and Encoding (CORE) Problem List.

Main Results:

  • 41.2% (2135 of 5182) of concepts in the CORE Problem List subset experienced changes.
  • Changes included modifications to names, concept status, definition status, and hierarchy position.
  • These alterations affect fully specified names, preferred terms, primitive/fully defined status, defining attributes, normal forms, and hierarchical relationships.

Conclusions:

  • Four primary types of changes occur with new SNOMED CT releases.
  • These changes are not consistently well-documented.
  • Tracking SNOMED CT updates is vital for accurate patient case queries and maintaining the integrity of patient records.
