The Unified Medical Language System ( http://umlsks.nlm.nih.gov ) is a repository of biomedical vocabularies developed by the US National Library Medicine. UMLS integrates over 2 million names for some 900 000 concepts from more than 60 families vocabularies, as well 12 relations among these concepts. Vocabularies integrated in Metathesaurus include NCBI taxonomy, Gene Ontology, Subject Headings (MeSH), OMIM and Digital Anatomist Symbolic Knowledge Base. are not only inter‐related, but may...
To provide typical examples of biomedical ontologies in action, emphasizing the role played by knowledge management, data integration and decision support.Biomedical selected for their practical impact are examined from a functional perspective. Examples applications taken operational systems literature, with bias towards recent journal articles.The under investigation this survey include SNOMED CT, Logical Observation Identifiers, Names, Codes (LOINC), Foundational Model Anatomy, Gene...
Statements about RDF statements, or meta triples, provide additional information individual such as the source, occurring time place, certainty. Integrating triples into semantic knowledge bases would enable querying and reasoning mechanisms to be aware of provenance, time, location, certainty triples. However, an efficient representation for remains challenging. The existing standard reification approach allows expressed using by two steps. first step is representing triple a Statement...
The gene ontology and annotations derived from the S.cerivisiae genome database were analyzed to calculate functional similarity of products. Three methods for measuring (including a distance-based approach) implemented. Significant, quantitative relationships between expression correlation pairs genes detected. Using known dataset in yeast, this study compared more than three million products on basis these properties. Highly correlated exhibit strong based information originating...
Abstract Motivation: A major goal of biomedical research in personalized medicine is to find relationships between mutations and their corresponding disease phenotypes. However, most the disease-related mutational data are currently buried literature textual form lack necessary structure allow easy retrieval visualization. We introduce a high-throughput computational method for identification relevant PubMed abstracts applied prostate (PCa) breast cancer (BCa) mutations. Results: developed...
Abstract Background Translational medicine requires the integration of knowledge using heterogeneous data from health care to life sciences. Here, we describe a collaborative effort produce prototype Medicine Knowledge Base (TMKB) capable answering questions relating clinical practice and pharmaceutical drug discovery. Results We developed Ontology (TMO) as unifying ontology integrate chemical, genomic proteomic with disease, treatment, electronic records. demonstrate use Semantic Web...
To study the newly adopted International Classification of Diseases 11th revision (ICD-11) and compare it to 10th (ICD-10) revision-Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM).: Data files maps were downloaded from World Health Organization (WHO) website through application programming interfaces. A round trip method based on WHO was used identify equivalent codes between ICD-10 ICD-11, which validated by limited manual review. ICD-11 terms mapped ICD-10-CM normalized lexical mapping. in 6 disease...
The national mandate for health systems to transition from ICD-9-CM ICD-10-CM in October 2015 has an impact on research activities. Clinical phenotypes defined by codes need be converted ICD-10-CM, which nearly four times more and a very different structure than ICD-9-CM.We used the Centers Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) General Equivalent Maps (GEMs) translate, using methods, condition-specific code sets pragmatic trials (n=32) into ICD-10-CM. We calculated recall, precision, F score of...
Abstract Objective: To compare 3 commercial knowledge bases (KBs) used for detection and avoidance of potential drug-drug interactions (DDIs) in clinical practice. Methods: Drugs the DDI tables from First DataBank (FDB), Micromedex, Multum were mapped to RxNorm. The KBs compared at drug, ingredient, rule levels. evaluated against a reference list highly significant DDIs Office National Coordinator Health Information Technology (ONC). ONC applied prescription data set simulate their use...
The objective of this article is to recapitulate our experience in aligning large anatomical ontologies (Foundational Model Anatomy, GALEN, Adult Mouse Anatomical Dictionary and NCI Thesaurus) having different representation formalisms. Our approach concepts (directly) automatic, rule-based, operates at the schema level, generating mostly point-to-point mappings. It uses a combination lexical, structural semantic techniques. also takes advantage domain-specific knowledge (lexical from...
To review the issues that have arisen with advent of translational research in terms integration data and knowledge, survey current efforts to address these issues.Using examples form biomedical literature, we identified new trends their impact on bioinformatics. We analyzed requirements for effective knowledge repositories studied knowledge.New diagnostic therapeutic approaches based gene expression patterns brought about statistical analysis data, workflows are needed support research....
Abstract Objective: Quality assurance of large ontological systems such as SNOMED CT is an indispensable part the terminology management lifecycle. We introduce a hybrid structural-lexical method for scalable and systematic discovery missing hierarchical relations concepts in CT. Material Methods: All non-lattice subgraphs (the structural part) are exhaustively extracted using MapReduce algorithm. Four lexical patterns identified among subgraphs. Non-lattice exhibiting often indicative or...
Phenotypes have gained increased notoriety in the clinical and biological domain owing to their application numerous areas such as discovery of disease genes drug targets, phylogenetics pharmacogenomics. Phenotypes, defined observable characteristics organisms, can be seen one bridges that lead a translation experimental findings into applications thereby support 'bench bedside' efforts. However, build this translational bridge, common universal understanding phenotypes is required goes...
