Mapping protein information to disease terminologies

Mapping protein information to disease terminologies

In order to improve the accessibility of genomic and proteomic information to medical researchers, we have developed a procedure to link biological information on proteins involved in diseases to the MeSH and ICD-10 disease terminologies. For this purpose, we took advantage of the manually curated disease annotations in more than 2,000 human protein entries of the UniProt KnowledgeBase. We mapp...

Linguistic Mapping of Terminologies to SNOMED CT

In this study we develop some linguistic bases for mapping between terminologies and demonstrate their application on mapping ICPC-2 PLUS to SNOMED CT (SCT). The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) metathesaurus mapping, which utilises the links between ICPC-2 PLUS and SCT terms in the UMLS library mapped 46.5% of ICPC-2 PLUS terms to SCT. Lexical mapping explored the lexical similarities be...

Automatic Mapping Clinical Notes to Medical Terminologies

Automatic mapping of key concepts from clinical notes to a terminology is an important task to achieve for extraction of the clinical information locked in clinical notes and patient reports. The present paper describes a system that automatically maps free text into a medical reference terminology. The algorithm utilises Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to enhance a lexical token m...

Categorical Information in Pharmaceutical Terminologies

Drug information sources use category labels to assist in navigating and organizing information. Some category labels describe drugs from multiple perspectives (e.g., both structure and function). The National Drug File - Reference Terminology (NDF RT) is a drug information source that augments a "legacy" categorization system with a formal reference model specifying Chemical Structure, Cellula...
