As an aid to defining integrative translational research priorities, our goal is not clinical decision support per se; instead, our goal is to provide a framework for the rationale discussion for clinical research's impact of integrating diverse sources of clinical information.
This will aid organisations to define their requirements and ensure a clear division of responsibilities with regard to Service Level Agreement (SLAs).
Definition of the genome of M. tuberculosis has greatly aided efforts to define the biosynthetic pathways for all of these exotic molecules: the mycolic acids, the mycocerosates, phthiocerol, LAM, and the polyprenyl phosphates.
Such studies are aiding efforts to define stem and progenitor cell states during development and adult tissues (e.g., between pluripotent and somatic stem cells or during hematopoietic lineage choices,, and are vital in providing a foundation for future studies. Inevitably, however, such descriptive studies cannot provide functional insights.
It is, therefore, important to develop markers of silent ateriosclerotic disease which may aid to better define the patients at high risk and to thereby act early and intensively to prevent the appearance of cardiovascular diseases with pharmacologic and non pharmacologic measures.
Because of a lack of standardization in describing funding patterns of healthcare facilities in Haiti, we created a classification system, whereby the degree of reported international aid was used to define facilities as local if they received no aid funding, collaborative if some but not all funding was provided by aid, and aid-financed if all of the funding was provided by international aid.
Malnutrition rates in some areas are five times more severe than the threshold aid agencies use to define a crisis.
Against this background, a situational analysis was performed to aid the Medical Department to define and prioritize its quality improvement activities.
Mortality rates in these areas far surpass the mark that aid agencies use to define a humanitarian crisis – which is one death per 10,000 people per day.
The ability to predict the location of these transcriptional elements in a large scale manner will prove very useful in the search for potential regulatory sites, and will aid in future work to define gonococcal transcriptional networks.
