    PARASITE EPIDEMIOLOGY AND CONTROL AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK TABLE OF CONTENTS XXX . • Description p.1 • Abstracting and Indexing p.1 • Editorial Board p.1 • Guide for Authors p.4 ISSN: 2405-6731 DESCRIPTION . Parasite Epidemiology and Control is an Open Access journal. There is increased parasitology research that analyses the patterns, causes, and effects of health and disease conditions in defined populations. This epidemiology of parasite infectious diseases is predominantly studied in human populations but also includes other major hosts of parasitic infections and as such this journal has broad remit. Parasite Epidemiology and Control focuses on the major areas of epidemiological study including disease etiology, disease surveillance, drug resistance, geographical spread, screening, biomonitoring, and comparisons of treatment effects in clinical trials for both human and other animals. We also focus on the epidemiology and control of vector insects. The journal also covers the use of geographic information systems (Epi-GIS) for epidemiological surveillance which is a rapidly growing area of research in infectious diseases. Molecular epidemiological approaches are also particularly encouraged. ABSTRACTING AND INDEXING .

  • Biomedical Text Mining: a Survey of Recent Progress
    Chapter 14 BIOMEDICAL TEXT MINING: A SURVEY OF RECENT PROGRESS Matthew S. Simpson Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Dina Demner-Fushman Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical Communications United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health [email protected] Abstract The biomedical community makes extensive use of text mining tech- nology. In the past several years, enormous progress has been made in developing tools and methods, and the community has been witness to some exciting developments. Although the state of the community is regularly reviewed, the sheer volume of work related to biomedical text mining and the rapid pace in which progress continues to be made make this a worthwhile, if not necessary, endeavor. This chapter pro- vides a brief overview of the current state of text mining in the biomed- ical domain. Emphasis is placed on the resources and tools available to biomedical researchers and practitioners, as well as the major text mining tasks of interest to the community. These tasks include the recognition of explicit facts from biomedical literature, the discovery of previously unknown or implicit facts, document summarization, and question answering. For each topic, its basic challenges and methods are outlined and recent and influential work is reviewed.

  • Information-Seeking Behavior in Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM): an Online Survey of Faculty at a Health Sciences Campus*
    Information-seeking behavior in complementary and alternative medicine (CAM): an online survey of faculty at a health sciences campus* By David J. Owen, M.L.S., Ph.D. [email protected] Education Coordinator, Basic Sciences Min-Lin E. Fang, M.L.I.S. [email protected] Information Services Librarian Kalmanovitz Library and Center for Knowledge Management University of California, San Francisco San Francisco, California 94143-0840 Background: The amount of reliable information available for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is limited, and few authoritative resources are available. Objective: The objective is to investigate the information-seeking behavior of health professionals seeking CAM information. Methods: Data were gathered using a Web-based questionnaire made available to health sciences faculty af®liated with the University of California, San Francisco. Results: The areas of greatest interest were herbal medicine (67%), relaxation exercises (53%), and acupuncture (52%). About half the respondents perceived their CAM searches as being only partially successful. Eighty-two percent rated MEDLINE as a useful resource, 46% personal contacts with colleagues, 46% the Web, 40% journals, and 20% textbooks. Books and databases most frequently cited as useful had information about herbs. The largest group of respondents was in internal medicine (26%), though 15% identi®ed their specialties as psychiatry, psychology, behavioral medicine, or addiction medicine. There was no correlation between specialty and patterns of information- seeking behavior. Sixty-six percent expressed an interest in learning more about CAM resources. Conclusions: Health professionals are frequently unable to locate the CAM information they need, and the majority have little knowledge of existing CAM resources, relying instead on MEDLINE.

  • 1 Application of Text Mining to Biomedical Knowledge Extraction: Analyzing Clinical Narratives and Medical Literature
    Amy Neustein, S. Sagar Imambi, Mário Rodrigues, António Teixeira and Liliana Ferreira 1 Application of text mining to biomedical knowledge extraction: analyzing clinical narratives and medical literature Abstract: One of the tools that can aid researchers and clinicians in coping with the surfeit of biomedical information is text mining. In this chapter, we explore how text mining is used to perform biomedical knowledge extraction. By describing its main phases, we show how text mining can be used to obtain relevant information from vast online databases of health science literature and patients’ electronic health records. In so doing, we describe the workings of the four phases of biomedical knowledge extraction using text mining (text gathering, text preprocessing, text analysis, and presentation) entailed in retrieval of the sought information with a high accuracy rate. The chapter also includes an in depth analysis of the differences between clinical text found in electronic health records and biomedical text found in online journals, books, and conference papers, as well as a presentation of various text mining tools that have been developed in both university and commercial settings. 1.1 Introduction The corpus of biomedical information is growing very rapidly. New and useful results appear every day in research publications, from journal articles to book chapters to workshop and conference proceedings. Many of these publications are available online through journal citation databases such as Medline – a subset of the PubMed interface that enables access to Medline publications – which is among the largest and most well-known online databases for indexing profes- sional literature. Such databases and their associated search engines contain important research work in the biological and medical domain, including recent findings pertaining to diseases, symptoms, and medications.

  • The Relation Between Hygiene with Soil- Transmitted Helminthiasis And
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG, ISSN: 0974-4290, ISSN(Online):2455-9555 Vol.10 No.13, pp 317-323, 2017 The Relation between Hygiene with Soil- transmitted Helminthiasis and Giardiasis on the Elementary School Children in the Slums Area of Bagan Deli, District of Medan Belawan Adelina Haryani Sinambela*, A.A. Depari, Endang H. Gani Parasitology Department, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sumatera Utara, Indonesia Abstract : Soil-transmitted helminthiasis and giardiasis mostly infect elementary school children, especially in tropical and developing countries. Hygiene is the important risk factor in the transmission of these infections. The aim of this research was to determine the correlation between hygiene and soil-transmitted helminthsis and giardiasis in the elementary school children in slums area. The research was conducted observationally using a cross- sectional study approach from February to April 2014 on 110 children in slums area of Bagan Deli, District of Medan-Belawan, in the Province of North Sumatra. The subjects were selected randomly by sampling. Stool examination was conducted using the formalin-ether concentration technique. Data related to the hygiene level were taken by interview and observation the environment. The results were analyzed using the Chi square test. The level of good hygiene was 52.7% and the poor was 47.3%. The prevalence of intestinal parasites identified was 61.8% of soil-transmitted helminths, 13.6% of Giardia lamblia, 6.4% of the mixed infection of soil-transmitted helminths and Giardia lamblia, 10% of Entamoeba coli, 1.8% of Iodamoeba butschlii, and 0.9% of Hymenolepis nana. Statistical analysis showed a correlation between age and soil transmitted helminthiasis (p=0.031; CI95% 1.120-5436) and giardiasis (p=0.025 CI95% 1.178-16.766).

  • Document Clustering of Medline Abstracts for Concept Discovery in Molecular Biology
    Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing 6:384-395 (2001) TEXTQUEST: DOCUMENT CLUSTERING OF MEDLINE ABSTRACTS FOR CONCEPT DISCOVERY IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY I. ILIOPOULOS, A. J. ENRIGHT, C. A. OUZOUNIS Computational Genomics Group, The European Bioinformatics Institute, EMBL Cambridge Outstation, Cambridge CB10 1SD, UK {ioannis, anton, christos}@ebi.ac.uk We present an algorithm for large-scale document clustering of biological text, obtained from Medline abstracts. The algorithm is based on statistical treatment of terms, stemming, the idea of a ‘go-list’, unsupervised machine learning and graph layout optimization. The method is flexible and robust, controlled by a small number of parameter values. Experiments show that the resulting document clusters are meaningful as assessed by cluster-specific terms. Despite the statistical nature of the approach, with minimal semantic analysis, the terms provide a shallow description of the document corpus and support concept discovery. 1. Introduction The vast accumulation of electronically available textual information has raised new challenges for information retrieval technology. The problem of content analysis was first introduced in the late 60’s [1]. Since then, a number of approaches have emerged in order to exploit free-text information from a variety of sources [2, 3]. In the fields of Biology and Medicine, abstracts are collected and maintained in Medline, a project supported by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM)1. Medline constitutes a valuable resource that allows scientists to retrieve articles of interest, based on keyword searches. This query-based information retrieval is extremely useful but it only allows a limited exploitation of the knowledge available in biological abstracts.
