Abstract The sheer amount of information about potential adverse drug events publishedin medical case reports pose major challenges for safety experts toperform timely monitoring. Efficient strategies identification andextraction fromfree‐text resources are needed to support pharmacovigilance researchand pharmaceutical decision making. Therefore, this work focusses on theadaptation a machine learning‐based system the identificationand extraction event relations from MEDLINE casereports. It...

A medical intervention is a procedure or application intended to relieve prevent illness injury. Examples of interventions include vaccination and drug administration. After intervention, adverse events (AEs) may occur which lie outside the consequences intervention. The representation analysis AEs are critical improvement public health. Ontology Adverse Events (OAE), previously named Event (AEO), community-driven ontology developed standardize integrate data relating arising subsequent...

The BioCreative challenge evaluation is a community-wide effort for evaluating text mining and information extraction systems applied to the biological domain. biocurator community, as an active user of biomedical literature, provides diverse engaged end group tools. Earlier challenges involved many teams in developing basic capabilities relevant curation, but they did not address issues system usage, insertion into workflow adoption by curators. Thus III (BC-III), InterActive Task (IAT) was...

Abstract Background For selection and evaluation of potential biomarkers, inclusion already published information is utmost importance. In spite significant advancements in text- data-mining techniques, the vast knowledge space biomarkers biomedical text has remained unexplored. Existing named entity recognition approaches are not sufficiently selective for retrieval biomarker from literature. The purpose this study was to identify textual features that enhance effectiveness different...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of central nervous system that causes the removal fatty myelin sheath from axons brain and spinal cord. Autoimmunity plays an important role in this pathology outcome body's own immune attacks on causing damage. The etiology partially understood response to treatment cannot easily be predicted. We presented results obtained using 8 genetically predisposed randomly chosen individuals reproducing both absence presence malfunctions Teff-Treg cross-balancing...

Background In order to retrieve useful information from scientific literature and electronic medical records (EMR) we developed an ontology specific for Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Methods The MS Ontology was created using expert review under the Protégé OWL environment. We a dictionary with semantic synonyms translations different languages mining EMR. integrated other ontologies dictionaries (diseases/comorbidities, gene/protein, pathways, drug) into text-mining tool SCAIView. analyzed EMRs...

Chemical information extracted from the literature is of immense value for pharmaceutical and chemical industries in many areas, including supporting drug discovery, manufacturing processes, or intellectual property protection. However, exponential growth has made it increasingly difficult researchers to find they need within a reasonable time-frame. In order address this issue, large number text mining approaches have been developed that can extract different types literature. But lack...

Vaccines and drugs have contributed to dramatic improvements in public health worldwide. Over the last decade, there been efforts developing biomedical ontologies that represent various areas associated with vaccines drugs. These combined existing clinical terminology systems (e.g., SNOMED, RxNorm, NDF-RT, MedDRA, VO, OAE, AERO) could play significant roles on translational research. The first "Vaccine Drug Ontology Study of Mechanism Effect" workshop (VDOSME 2012) provided a platform for...

A software suite, 'Java-based Molecular Biologists' Workbench' (JaMBW), has been developed in order to accomplish common bioinformatics tasks, and can be accessed at the URL: http://www.embl-heidelberg.de/JaMBW/. Java implementations are designed operate on any computer architecture. Furthermore, is independent of operating system, relying only availability a Virtual Machine (JVM) package. JVMs were initially implemented as software, but with creation processors, they now becoming available...

Abstract In this article we present an in silico method that automatically assigns putative functions to DNA sequences. The annotations are at increasingly conceptual level, up identifying general biomedical fields which the sequences could contribute. This bioinformatics data‐mining system makes substantial use of several resources: a locally stored MEDLINE ® database; manually built classification system; MeSH taxonomy; relational technology; and methods. Knowledge is generated from...
