Biomedical research yields a wealth of information, much of which is only accessible through the literature. Consequently, literature search is an essential tool for building on prior knowledge in clinical and biomedical research. Although…
PubMed is a freely accessible system for searching the biomedical literature, with approximately 2.5 million users worldwide on an average workday. We have recently developed PubMed Labs (www.pubmed.gov/labs), an experimental platform for…
A new clinical literature search engine, called CupQ, is presented. It aims to help clinicians stay updated with medical knowledge. Although PubMed is currently one of the most widely used digital libraries for biomedical information, it…
Faceted browsing is a commonly supported feature of user interfaces for access to information. Existing interfaces generally treat facet values selected by a user as hard filters and respond to the user by only displaying information items…
Numerous challenges persist that delay clinical interpretation of human genetic variants, to name a few: (1) un- structured PubMed articles are the most abundant source of evidence, yet their variant annotations are difficult to query…
Digital libraries maintain extensive collections of knowledge and need to provide effective access paths for their users. For instance, PubPharm, the specialized information service for Pharmacy in Germany, provides and develops access…
Currently, most people use PubMed to search the MEDLINE database, an important bibliographical information source for life science and biomedical information. However, PubMed has some drawbacks that make it difficult to find relevant…
The Precision Medicine Initiative states that treatments for a patient should take into account not only the patient's disease, but his/her specific genetic variation as well. The vast biomedical literature holds the potential for…
More than 200 generic drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for non-cancer indications have shown promise for treating cancer. Due to their long history of safe patient use, low cost, and widespread availability,…
AIAltMed is a cutting-edge platform designed for drug discovery and repurposing. It utilizes Tanimoto similarity to identify structurally similar non-medicinal compounds to known medicinal ones. This preprint introduces AIAltMed, discusses…
Scientists always look for the most accurate and relevant answers to their queries in the literature. Traditional scholarly digital libraries list documents in search results, and therefore are unable to provide precise answers to search…
The concept of personalised medicine in cancer therapy is becoming increasingly important. There already exist drugs administered specifically for patients with tumours presenting well-defined mutations. However, the field is still in its…
Scientists have always used the studies and research of other researchers to achieve new objectives and perspectives. In particular, employing and operating the measured data in previous studies is so practical. Searching the content of…
Scientists always look for the most accurate and relevant answer to their queries on the scholarly literature. Traditional scholarly search systems list documents instead of providing direct answers to the search queries. As data in…
Finding a product online can be a challenging task for users. Faceted search interfaces, often in combination with recommenders, can support users in finding a product that fits their preferences. However, those preferences are not always…
This article presents our steps to integrate complex and partly unstructured medical data into a clinical research database with subsequent decision support. Our main application is an integrated faceted search tool, accompanied by the…
Actual social networks (like Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, ...) need to deal with vagueness on ontological indeterminacy. In this paper is analyzed the prototyping of a faceted semantic search for personalized social search using the "joint…
Keeping track of the ever-increasing body of scientific literature is an escalating challenge. We present PubTree a hierarchical search tool that efficiently searches the PubMed/MEDLINE dataset based upon a decision tree constructed using…
In information retrieval, facet identification of a user query is an important task. If a search service can recognize the facets of a user's query, it has the potential to offer users a much broader range of search results. Previous…
Nuanced cancer patient care is needed, as the development and clinical course of cancer is multifactorial with influences from the general health status of the patient, germline and neoplastic mutations, co-morbidities, and environment. To…
