The recently introduced bacterial species Chlamydia gallinacea is known to occur in domestic poultry and other birds. Its potential as an avian pathogen and zoonotic agent is under investigation. The whole-genome sequence of its type strain, 08-1274/3, consists of a 1,059,583-bp chromosome with 914 protein-coding sequences (CDSs) and a plasmid (p1274) comprising 7,619 bp with 9 CDSs.

BACKGROUND Clinical decision support software (CDSS) solutions can automatically identify drug interactions and thereby aim to improve drug safety. However, data on the comparative performance of different CDSS to detect and appropriately classify interactions in real-life prescription datasets is limited. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare the results from two different CDSS anal...

INTRODUCTION Evaluations of computerized clinical decision support systems (CDSS) typically focus on clinical performance changes and do not include social, organizational, and contextual characteristics explaining use and effectiveness. Studies of CDSS for intensive insulin therapy (IIT) are no exception, and the literature lacks an understanding of effective computer-based IIT implementation ...

OBJECTIVES Computerised clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are being used increasingly to support evidence-based decision-making by health care professionals. This systematic review evaluated the impact of CDSSs targeting pharmacists on physician prescribing, clinical and patient outcomes. We compared the impact of CDSSs addressing safety concerns (drug interactions, contraindications, d...

Ten years ago, the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) called for a massive redesign of the healthcare delivery system.(Committee on Quality of Health Care in America, 2001) Today it is clear that one of the goals, the nationwide use of an electronic medical record (EMR) by 2010, has failed to be reached as the process of adoption has been slow. Some may consider an EMR as a final destination, altho...

BACKGROUND Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) is unequivocally harmful to children's health, yet up to 48% of children who visit the pediatric emergency department (PED) and urgent care setting are exposed to tobacco smoke. The incorporation of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) into the electronic health records (EHR) of PED patients may improve the rates of screening and brief TSE interventio...

Purpose Credit default swaps (CDSs) are among the most widely used credit derivatives since their innovation and designed to hedge risk of reference entities. They were exposed after global financial crisis 2007–08, blamed for its occurrence. This paper aims describe fundamental mechanism CDSs, demonstrating how a CDSs contract works. Further, this study explores growth Indian CDS market by tak...

The healthcare industry collects huge amounts of data which, unfortunately, are not turned into useful information for effective decision making. Clinical Decision support systems (CDSS) can now use advanced technologies such as On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Data Mining to deliver advanced capabilities. This paper presents a prototype CDSS using OLAP with Data Mining (OLAP Mining) wh...

A medication-related Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) is an application that analyzes patient data to provide assistance in care processes. Despite its potential improve the clinical decision-making process, evidence shows clinicians do not always use CDSSs such a way their can be fully realized. This systematic literature review provides overview of frequently-reported barriers and faci...

Abstract Background Rare Diseases (RDs) are difficult to diagnose. Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) could support the diagnosis for RDs. The Medical Informatics in Research and Medicine (MIRACUM) consortium developed a CDSS RDs based on distributed clinical data from eight German university hospitals. To patient cases, uses different hospitals perform similarity analysis obtain an indic...
