A web-based neuroimaging and neuropsychology software suite that offers versatile, automatable data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying and export all data, real-time reporting, and HIPAA and IRB compliant study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale neuroscience and neuropsychology researchers. COINS manages over over 400 studies, more than 265,000 clinical neuropsychological assessments, and 26,000 MRI, EEG, and MEG scan sessions collected from 18,000 participants at over ten institutions on topics related to the brain and behavior. As neuroimaging research continues to grow, dynamic neuroinformatics systems are necessary to store, retrieve, mine and share the massive amounts of data. The Collaborative Informatics and Neuroimaging Suite (COINS) has been created to facilitate communication and cultivate a data community. This tool suite offers versatile data upload/import/entry options, rapid and secure sharing of data among PIs, querying of data types and assessments, real-time reporting, and study-management tools suitable to large institutions as well as smaller scale researchers. It manages studies and their data at the Mind Research Network, the Nathan Kline Institute, University of Colorado Boulder, the Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center (at) Hartford Hospital, and others. COINS is dynamic and evolves as the neuroimaging field grows. COINS consists of the following collaboration-centric tools: * Subject and Study Management: MICIS (Medical Imaging Computer Information System) is a centralized PostgreSQL-based web application that implements best practices for participant enrollment and management. Research site administrators can easily create and manage studies, as well as generate reports useful for reporting to funding agencies. * Scan Data Collection: An automated DICOM receiver collects, archives, and imports imaging data into the file system and COINS, requiring no user intervention. The database also offers scan annotation and behavioral data management, radiology review event reports, and scan time billing. * Assessment Data Collection: Clinical data gathered from interviews, questionnaires, and neuropsychological tests are entered into COINS through the web application called Assessment Manager (ASMT). ASMT's intuitive design allows users to start data collection with little or no training. ASMT offers several options for data collection/entry: dual data entry, for paper assessments, the Participant Portal, an online tool that allows subjects to fill out questionnaires, and Tablet entry, an offline data entry tool. * Data Sharing: De-identified neuroimaging datasets with associated clinical-data, cognitive-data, and associated meta-data are available through the COINS Data Exchange tool. The Data Exchange is an interface that allows investigators to request and share data. It also tracks data requests and keeps an inventory of data that has already been shared between users. Once requests for data have been approved, investigators can download the data directly from COINS.

Launched in 2004, the HIV Guide is a single disease resource, with two main parts: the HIV database, which is accessed by searching on diagnosis, drug name, pathogen, or management or by accessing the resistance tool, and there are also browsable areas of the site, which include news, features, continuing medical education programs and other types of additional readings and information. Guides are authored by academic clinicians and subject to rigorous peer review. You may browse the guide by: Diagnosis Covering opportunistic infections, malignancies, and complications of therapy. Drugs Includes indications, dosing, drug interactions, and author recommendations. Pathogen - Describes microbiology, clinical syndromes, and therapy. Management Including antiretroviral therapy guidelines and strategies. Resistance Tool Provides up-to-date interpretation of genotypic resistance test results. Whether searching for a drug, a pathogen, a diagnosis, or a management issue, your search results will be delivered in a concise and standard form designed to give you the most clinically useful information first, with the option to go deeper if you choose. If you search by diagnosis, you will receive a page listing points covering establishment of a diagnosis, related pathogens, treatment recommendations, issues to consider on follow up, references and more. At each step, we provide you immediately with the information you need to treat the diagnosis and give you the option to read more or more deeply if you choose. On the diagnosis page, you are also provided with links to the information sheet for each drug that may be prescribed, and if you indicate which drug you intend to use, you will be provided with relevant drug selected comments. If you search by drug, you will receive a page listing FDA indications, usual adult dosing, adverse drug reactions, drug interactions, spectrum, and forms. You are also able to access full pharmacological information (mechanism, absorption, Cmax, volume of distribution, protein binding, metabolism/excretion, t _, dosing for glomerular filtration of 50-80, dosing for glomerular filtration of 10-50, dosing for glomerular filtration of <10 ml/min, dosing in hemodialysis, dosing in peritoneal dialysis, dosing in cavh, dosing for decreased hepatic function, pregnancy risk, and breast feeding compatibility). If you search by pathogen, you will receive a page covering the microbiology, clinical relevance, sites of infection, drug selected comments, other information and references. You are also provided with links to information for each drug that may be prescribed, and if you indicate which drug you intend to use, you will be provided with the drug selected comments for that choice. If you search by management, you will receive a page listing definition, indications, and clinical recommendations and additional details, including references. If you click on more wherever it appears on a page, you will find more detailed material about the topic. In addition, the HIV Guide homepage contains a Features section and Literature Review that contain synopses and articles about pertinent topics. The Publications section also provides .pdf versions of the Hopkins HIV Report. Prices represent the cost per unit specified, reflecting the Average Wholesale Price (AWP). AWP prices are taken from the Red Book, manufacturer information, and the McKesson database. These prices are updated every six months. We have listed up to 10 FDA-approved indications for uses of drugs. Though in some cases more may exist, for brevity and formatting issues authors and editors have chosen what they deem the most important. Also listed are disease states for which a drug may be likely prescribed regardless of FDA approval status (see Non-FDA approved uses). The HIV Guide is primarily focused on adult care but does cover issues of perinatal transmission. The material presented on this site represents the considered opinion of the Hopkins expert listed as the author of the module as of the date indicated. The reference section contains an annotated list of the articles that the author considers to be most relevant to the topic. Where authoritative guidelines exist, such as CDC, IDSA or Medical Letter guidelines, they are referenced and discussed along with the author''s recommendations presented.
