A database to store the curated epigenetic data from studies of prostate cancer retrieved by literature mining. The Prostate Epigenetic Database (PEpiD) is meant as a resource for finding previous studies of prostate cancer in humans, mice and rats. Searches can be targeted through the categories of DNA methylation, histone modification, and microRNA.

Consortium founded to establish mechanism-based taxonomies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders (NDD), with the goal of facilitating development of more effective and targeted treatments. To do this, the consortium collects and analyzes data to: * Create new ways to combine underutilized data currently available in the literature, public databases, and from private companies * Determine how to dynamically organize and structure different types of knowledge about NDD * Determine how to apply this knowledge to construct new patient group classification * Identify correlations between disease features at molecular, tissue or organ-specific, and clinical levels * Identify sub-groups of patients based on the molecular cause of their disease, as opposed to the nature and location of their symptoms * Deliver data, tools, and recommendations for the biomedical community in the treatment of NDD A mechanism-based taxonomy is hoped to advance the: # Description and organization of the indication-specific data # Linking of data to disease models, based on causal and correlative relationships The expected outcome of AETIONOMY is a new NDD taxonomy system that distinguishes mixed pathologies, allowing for new features or classes to be added into the taxonomy, all with the goal of aiding drug and biomarker discovery.

A website which describes the experimental procedure for a placebo controlled trial of the effects of a 48-hour infusion of corticosteroids on adults with head injury and some impairment of consciousness. The outcomes will be measured by rates of death and neurological disability. Patients are recruited (or entered by their doctors when informed consent is not obtainable due to impaired cognitive functioning) on a case-by-case basis as head injured patients come through emergency departments. Randomization is done via a 24-hour telephone line that will denote which pack of medication (either the corticosteroids or saline solution as control) to give.
