http://www.nesys.uio.no/Atlas3D/

A multi-platform visualization tool which allows import and visualization of 3-D atlas structures in combination with tomographic and histological image data. The tool allows visualization and analysis of the reconstructed atlas framework, surface modeling and rotation of selected structures, user-defined slicing at any chosen angle, and import of data produced by the user for merging with the atlas framework. Tomographic image data in NIfTI (Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative) file format, VRML and PNG files can be imported and visualized within the atlas framework. XYZ coordinate lists are also supported. Atlases that are available with the tool include mouse brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Mouse Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Franklin (2001)) and rat brain structures (3-D reconstructed from The Rat Brain in Stereotaxic Coordinates by Paxinos and Watson (2005)). Experimental data can be imported in Atlas3D and warped to atlas space, using manual linear registration, with the possibility to scale, rotate, and position the imported data. This facilitates assignment of location and comparative analysis of signal location in tomographic images.

http://bmsr.usc.edu/software/pneuma/

A set of modules that are used to simulate the autoregulation of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems under conditions of changing sleep-wake state and a variety of physiological and pharmacological interventions. It models the dynamic interactions that take place among the various component mechanisms, including those involved in the chemical control of breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure, as well as the effects of changes in the sleep-wake state and arousal from sleep. PNEUMA includes the autonomic control of the cardiovascular system, chemoreflex and state-related control of breath-to-breath ventilation, state-related and chemoreflex control of upper airway potency, as well as respiratory and circulatory mechanics. The model is capable of simulating the cardiorespiratory responses to sleep onset, arousal, continuous positive airway pressure, the administration of inhaled carbon dioxide and oxygen, Valsalva and Mueller maneuvers, and Cheyne-Stokes respiration during sleep. In PNEUMA 3.0, we have extended the existing integrative model of respiratory, cardiovascular, and sleepwake state control, to incorporate a sub-model of glucoseinsulinfatty acid regulation. The extended model is capable of simulating the metabolic control of glucoseinsulin dynamics and its interactions with the autonomic nervous system. The interactions between autonomic and metabolic control include the circadian regulation of epinephrine secretion, epinephrine regulation on dynamic fluctuations in glucose and free fatty acids in plasma, metabolic coupling among tissues and organs mediated by insulin and epinephrine, as well as the effect of insulin on peripheral vascular sympathetic activity. This extended model represents a starting point from which further in silico investigations into the interaction between the autonomic nervous system and the metabolic control system can proceed. Features in PNEUMA 3.0 * Incorporates metabolic component based on prior models of glucose-insulin regulation and free fatty acid (FFA) regulation. * Changes in sympathetic activity from the autonomic portion of PNEUMA produce changes in epinephrine output, which in turn affects the metabolic sub-model. * Inputs from the dietary intake of glucose and external interventions, such as insulin injections, have also been incorporated. * Also incorporated is autonomic feedback from the metabolic component to the rest of PNEUMA: changes in insulin level lead to changes in sympathetic tone. System Requirements: PNEUMA requires Matlab R2007b or higher with the accompanying version of Simulink to be installed on your computer.

A multicenter randomized clinical trial that aims to determine the best therapies for people with type 2 diabetes and moderately severe cardiovascular disease. 2368 participants were randomized at 49 sites in 6 countries. All subjects were given intensive medical therapy to control cholesterol and blood pressure and given counseling, if needed, to quit smoking and to lose weight. Beyond that, they compared whether prompt revascularization, either bypass surgery or angioplasty, e.g. stents, was more effective than medical therapy alone. At the same time, they also looked at which of two diabetes treatment strategies resulted in better outcomes����??insulin-providing versus insulin-sensitizing - that is, increasing the amount of insulin or making the insulin work better. Only patients with known type 2 diabetes and heart disease that could be treated appropriately with a revascularization OR medical therapy alone were eligible for the trial. Patients entered the study between January 2001 ����?? March 2005 and were followed for an average of five years. When a patient entered the study, physicians first decided whether that patient should receive stenting or bypass surgery. The patient then received their randomization assignment. All patients were treated in BARI 2D for both their diabetes and heart disease, as well as other risk factors that might effect those diseases, regardless of which group they were in. Diabetes-specific complications including retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and peripheral vascular disease were monitored regularly. Tests, blood samples, urine samples, and treatment cost data were obtained periodically through the trial and examined by experts at 7 central laboratories and other research partners. Experts on risk factors routinely oversaw treatments of all patients at 4 central management centers. A panel of independent experts reviewed data every six months to make sure that all patients were receiving safe care.

http://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/Tracula

Software tool developed for automatically reconstructing a set of major white matter pathways in the brain from diffusion weighted images using probabilistic tractography. This method utilizes prior information on the anatomy of the pathways from a set of training subjects. By incorporating this prior knowledge in the reconstruction procedure, our method obviates the need for manual intervention with the tract solutions at a later stage and thus facilitates the application of tractography to large studies. The trac-all script is used to preprocess raw diffusion data (correcting for eddy current distortion and B0 field inhomogenities), register them to common spaces, model and reconstruct major white matter pathways (included in the atlas) without any manual intervention. trac-all may be used to execute all the above steps or parts of it depending on the dataset and user''''s preference for analyzing diffusion data. Alternatively, scripts exist to execute chunks of each processing pipeline, and individual commands may be run to execute a single processing step. To explore all the options in running trac-all please refer to the trac-all wiki. In order to use this script to reconstruct tracts in Diffusion images, all the subjects in the dataset must have Freesurfer Recons.
