Summary
Foundation Medicine and Flatiron Health created a large clinico-genomic database linking clinical and genomic data from non-small cell lung cancer patients. This real-world evidence resource was validated, showing its potential for research.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Genomics
- Data Science
Background:
- Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) are crucial for understanding cancer treatment effectiveness.
- Large-scale, integrated databases are needed to leverage RWD for clinical insights.
Discussion:
- A collaborative effort between Foundation Medicine and Flatiron Health established a comprehensive clinico-genomic database.
- This database integrates clinical information with genomic profiling data for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
- The data originates from community oncology practices, reflecting diverse treatment settings.
Key Insights:
- The newly created clinico-genomic database has been successfully validated.
- This resource demonstrates significant potential for generating valuable real-world evidence.
- The validated database can support research into NSCLC treatment patterns and outcomes.
Outlook:
- Future research can utilize this database to explore genotype-phenotype correlations in NSCLC.
- The database may facilitate biomarker discovery and the development of precision medicine strategies.
- Continued expansion and validation of such databases will be vital for advancing cancer care.

The Evidence for Evolution
47.7K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Real Gases: Effects of Intermolecular Forces and Molecular Volume Deriving Van der Waals Equation
38.9K
Thus far, the ideal gas law, PV = nRT, has been applied to a variety of different types of problems, ranging from reaction stoichiometry and empirical and molecular formula problems to determining the density and molar mass of a gas. However, the behavior of a gas is often non-ideal, meaning that the observed relationships between its pressure, volume, and temperature are not accurately described by the gas laws.

Mechanical Efficiency of Real Machines
1.3K
The mechanical efficiency of a machine is a fundamental concept that describes how effectively a machine can convert input work into output work. According to this concept, the efficiency of a machine is equal to the ratio of the output work to the input work. An ideal machine, meaning a machine that has no energy losses, has an efficiency of one. This implies that the input work and the output work are equal.

Real Time RT-PCR
64.9K
Real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, or Real-time RT-PCR, is an analytical tool used to determine the expression level of target genes. The method involves converting mRNA to complementary DNA with the help of an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase, followed by the PCR amplification of the cDNA. These two processes can be performed simultaneously in a single tube or separately as a two-step reaction.

Real-World Application of Classical Conditioning
1.3K
Classical conditioning not only includes the initial pairing of stimuli but also extends to more complex forms, such as higher-order conditioning. Higher-order conditioning involves creating associations beyond the primary conditioned stimulus, resulting in a chain of conditioned responses.
Higher-order, or second-order, conditioning occurs when a neutral stimulus becomes associated with an already established conditioned stimulus through repeated pairings. For instance, if a dog has been...
