Founded in 1977, California Cryobank (CCB) is a full-service sperm bank providing a comprehensive resource for frozen donor sperm, private semen cryopreservation, and specialized reproductive services (including egg and embryo storage and artificial insemination guidance). We are extremely proud of our 30 years of reproductive success. The demand for expert services has grown exponentially as discussion of reproductive challenges has continued to become more mainstream. At California Cryobank we understand that regardless of how much information and education you bring to the process, there can still be significant apprehension accompanying such big steps as sperm donation and donor insemination. CCB''s commitment to making our clients as comfortable as possible is what sets us apart and makes us so much more than just another sperm bank. Our services are entirely patient-centric; from the education that we provide����??answering questions and providing step-by-step timetables that let patients know what to expect in the weeks and months to come from donor sperm selection through insemination����??to the guidance that we offer. Our team is comprised of physicians, lab technicians, genetic counselors, Client Service Consultants, and Donor Matching Consultants. Every facet of our services is completely and expertly led by one of our experienced and compassionate team members. And while our sperm donor program is the foundation of our service, California Cryobank provides a full range of services for our clients including cord blood banking and access to our CCB Sibling Registry.

Established in 1970, the University of Miami Tissue Bank (UMTB) is the oldest academic institution of its kind in the United States. UMTB came about and evolved in an effort to provide safe and effective bone and soft tissue grafts to patients long before allograft bone transplantation was widely accepted. UMTB has always been focused on safety and the advancement of knowledge in allograft use. More scientific peer-reviewed articles, book chapters and innovations have come from UMTB either directly or indirectly than from any other organization of its kind. UMTB continues to be a leader in transplantation research and has maintained an impeccable safety record. As the only university-run tissue bank, UMTB works closely with surgeons and basic science investigators to advance the field of bone and soft tissue transplantation. Our scientific endeavors include clinical trials to confirm and improve graft efficacy for oral surgery, orthopedic tumor and spine surgery, and sports injuries. When warranted, we engage commercial entities for these studies. As a multidisciplinary organization of surgeons, pathologists, scientists and technicians, we have safely recovered, processed, distributed and implanted aseptically processed bone, cartilage and soft tissue grafts in thousands of patients. We make extraordinary efforts to ensure aseptic recovery and processing to protect the biologic activity, integrity, bio attributes, and safety of the graft. We believe that the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) has adopted appropriate guidelines for Tissue Banking in the United States and the University of Miami is a proud member of this organization.

A tool for taxonomic classification of DNA fragments, as they are typically obtained in metagenome projects. The classification is based on taxon-specific DNA base composition characteristics (genomic signatures). Classification of query sequences is achieved by mapping the query sequences to the genomic signatures of sequences with known taxonomic affiliations. The mapping is done via the Self-Organizing Map (SOM) algorithm. TaxSOM offers two modes of operation: * mapping query sequences to a pre-calculated SOM * mapping query sequences to a custom SOM

The GEO Profiles database stores gene expression profiles derived from curated GEO DataSets. Each Profile is presented as a chart that displays the expression level of one gene across all Samples within a DataSet. Experimental context is provided in the bars along the bottom of the charts making it possible to see at a glance whether a gene is differentially expressed across different experimental conditions. Profiles have various types of links including internal links that connect genes that exhibit similar behaviour, and external links to relevant records in other NCBI databases. GEO Profiles can be searched using many different attributes including keywords, gene symbols, gene names, GenBank accession numbers, or Profiles flagged as being differentially expressed.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on January 11, 2023.The Linked Clinical Trials (LinkedCT) project aims at publishing the first open Semantic Web data source for clinical trials data. The data exposed by LinkedCT is generated by (1) transforming existing data sources of clinical trials into RDF, and (2) discovering links between the records in the trials data and several other data sources. You may download static data dumps. The LinkedCT data space is published according to the principles of publishing Linked Data. These principles greatly enhance adaptability and usability of data on the web. Each entity in LinkedCT is identified by a unique HTTP dereferenceable Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). When the URI is looked up, related RDF statements about the entity is returned in HTML or RDF/XML based on the user''s agent. Moreover, a SPARQL endpoint is provided as the standard access method for RDF data.

A calculator that calculates the prediction models for 6 month outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury. Based on extensive prognostic analysis the IMPACT investigators have developed prognostic models for predicting 6 month outcome in adult patients with moderate to severe head injury (Glasgow Coma Scale <=12) on admission. By entering the characteristics into the calculator, the models will provide an estimate of the expected outcome at 6 months. We present three models of increasing complexity (Core, Core + CT, Core + CT + Lab). These models were developed and validated in collaboration with the CRASH trial collaborators on large numbers of individual patient data (the IMPACT database). The models discriminate well, and are particularly suited for purposes of classification and characterization of large cohorts of patients. Extreme caution is required when applying the estimated prognosis to individual patients. The sequential prediction models may be used as an aid to estimate 6 month outcome in patients with severe or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the prediction rule can only complement, never replace, clinical judgment and can therefore be used only as a decision-support system.

These donations are tested extensively to assure suitability for transfusion and processed into life saving components: red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, which go to help Central Texas patients. The Center works with the Marrow Donor Program of Central and South Texas to increase the number of Central Texans on the National Marrow Donor Registry. The Tissue Services division was established in 1985 due to the increasing demand for allograft tissue. Today, The Tissue Center surgically recovers tissue from approximately 300 donors each year and assists with donor family services. The Tissue Center''s main facility is located in Austin with a satellite office in Corpus Christi.
