Proteomics01:33

Proteomics

9.9K
A proteome is the entire set of proteins that a cell type produces. We can study proteomes using the knowledge of genomes because genes code for mRNAs, and the mRNAs encode proteins. Although mRNA analysis is a step in the right direction, not all mRNAs are translated into proteins.
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term...

Overview of Exosomes01:36

Overview of Exosomes

3.8K
Exosomes are stable, lipid bilayer-enclosed vesicles capable of crossing biological barriers. They can carry a wide range of molecules required for intercellular communication. Once exosomes are released from the cell where they originated, they enter a recipient cell through various pathways such as fusion, receptor-mediated endocytosis, macropinocytosis, and phagocytosis.
Stahl et al. discovered exosomes in 1983, but the exosomes were initially considered waste products released from the...

Pharmacodynamic Models: Overview01:27

Pharmacodynamic Models: Overview

20
Pharmacodynamic (PD) responses describe the interaction between a drug and its biological target, culminating in a physiological effect. These responses can be classified into different types: continuous variables, such as blood glucose levels; categorical outcomes, like survival rates; and time-to-event metrics, such as disease progression. Understanding and modeling PD responses are critical for optimizing drug efficacy and safety.PD models describe the relationship between drug concentration...

Observational Studies01:11

Observational Studies

11.2K
Observational studies are a type of analytical study where researchers observe events without any interventions. In other words, the researcher does not influence the response variable or the experiment's outcome.
There are three types of observational studies – Prospective, retrospective, and cross-sectional.
Prospective Study
Prospective studies, also known as longitudinal or cohort studies, are carried out by collecting future data from groups sharing similar characteristics. One...

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

288
Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Clinical Trials: Overview01:11

Clinical Trials: Overview

5.1K
Clinical development focuses on how the drug will interact with the human body and encompasses four key phases of clinical trials, each serving a specific purpose in assessing the safety and effectiveness of new drugs. These phases overlap and build upon one another. Phase I involves a small group of healthy volunteers (typically 20-80 individuals) or, in cases where significant toxicity is expected, patients with the targeted disease, such as cancer or AIDS. The volunteers are tested for...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Bioinformatics
  • Clinical Informatics

Background:

  • The exposome, encompassing all environmental exposures, is crucial for precision medicine.
  • Integrating exposomics knowledge into clinical data analytics remains challenging.
  • Limited work exists on modeling exposome entities and their clinical relevance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a template-driven approach for identifying and modeling exposome concepts.
  • To evaluate the semantic model's literature coverage and clinical text annotation capabilities.
  • To advance understanding of exposome information within clinical contexts.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized selected ontological relations and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).
  • Developed a template-driven method to identify exposome concepts.
  • Evaluated concept coverage in PubMed literature and clinical text annotation efficiency.
  • Analyzed 50 annotated clinical discharge summaries.

Main Results:

  • Created a semantic model with 454 exposure-outcome relations and identified 5667 microbial etiology disorder concepts.
  • Achieved ~90% coverage of PubMed literature on exposure-induced iatrogenic diseases (2001-2010).
  • Improved clinical text annotation by filtering out 78% of irrelevant machine annotations.

Conclusions:

  • Demonstrated the feasibility of semiautomatically developing a valuable semantic resource for exposomics.
  • The developed model enhances the integration of nongenetic factors in clinical research.
  • This work supports the critical role of the exposome in precision medicine.
