Enabling reasoning on the web: Performing simulations of clinical situations
The transformation of a document-based medical guideline into a computer-based decision support is a time-consuming
and error-prone activity. One way to alleviate this burden is by facilitating, as much as possible, the (semi)automatic
implementation and further validation of the knowledge intensive tasks embedded within medical guidelines. This paper presents a
bilingual (English and Spanish) âproof of conceptâ simulation framework and computational test-bed, called V.A.F. Framework,
that takes advantages of both CommonKADS methodology and Semantic Web technologies (OWL, SWRL, and OWL-S) to enable
experiments (simulations of clinical situations) that allow overcoming the main barriers to successfully express medical guidelines
in an executable form compatible with Electronic Medical Records (EMRs).To demonstrate how higher integration between EMRs
and evidence-based medicine can be accomplished, this paper focuses on the âAcute Red Eyeâ, a clinical ophthalmologic domain
known by General Practitioners (GPs) that usually requires the intervention of ophthalmologists (specialised physicians), so
medical referral guidelines as well as ophthalmology medical guidelines need to be codified and integrated with EMRs
Breast cancer metastasis suppressor OTUD1 deubiquitinates SMAD7
The activation of TGF-ÎČ signaling has been implicated in cancer metastasis. Here, the authors show that OTUD1 suppresses metastasis by antagonizing the TGF-ÎČ pathway via the deubiquitination of SMAD7, and its loss correlates with poor prognosis in breast cancer
