ISMB/ECCB 2007: The Premier Conference on Computational Biology

The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) presents ISMB/ECCB 2007, the Fifteenth International Conference on Intelligent Systems for Molecular Biology (ISMB 2007), held jointly with the Sixth European Conference on Computational Biology (ECCB 2007) in Vienna, Austria, July 21–25, 2007 (http://www.iscb.org/ismbeccb2007). Now in the final phases of selecting papers, presentations, demonstrations, and posters, the organizers are preparing what will likely be recognized as the premier conference on computational biology in 2007. ISMB/ECCB 2007 has expanded in ways to specifically encourage increased participation from previously underrepresented disciplines of computational biology. This conference will feature the best of the computer and life sciences through a variety of new and core sessions running in multiple parallel tracks, along with an increase in keynote presentations, posters on display throughout the duration of the conference, and an extensive industry exhibition. Special interest group meetings, a satellite meeting, and tutorials all will precede the main conference dates.

Delivery of child development services by videoconferencing: A review of four years’ experience in Queensland

In 2001 the Child Development Unit (CDU) in Brisbane piloted a series of monthly multidisciplinary case discussions via videoconference in the area of child development. During 2001 two sessions were provided; during 2004 there were 40. The substantial growth in 2004 was due to the expansion of child development services to include special interest group meetings and multipoint case conference meetings. In 2004, a total of 49 h of videoconferencing was conducted. The average session length was 75 min. Education and training sessions were delivered to 32 hospitals and health centres in Queensland and northern New South Wales. The maximum number of sites involved during a single videoconference was 25. The average number of attendees for each videoconference was five per site, including allied health staff, nurses and paediatricians. The delivery of child development services via videoconference has been shown to be useful in Queensland, especially for allied health staff working in regional and remote areas. The growth of the programme indicates its acceptance as a mainstream child development service in Queensland.

Stem cells: What's happening?

Stem cell enthusiasts are probably aware that we are experiencing an exciting period of new development in the field of progenitor cells. This brief report focuses on selected topics which have been recently reported in two special interest group meetings in the U.K. The potential advantage of stem cells derived from human umbilical cord (HUC) blood over normal bone marrow (NBM) or peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC), as source products for reconstitution of the immune system is briefly mentioned, together with some potential applications of HUC blood in gene therapy.

Use of the TDx-FLM assay in evaluating fetal lung maturity in an insulin-dependent diabetic population

To assess the usefulness of the recently introduced TDx-FLM assay in managing pregnant women with diabetes. Participating institutions were recruited from the 1993 and 1994 Society of Perinatal Obstetricians Diabetes Special Interest Group meetings. Study patients consisted of insulin-dependent diabetic women who had undergone transabdominal amniocentesis with assay of the fluid by the TDx-FLM method. Pertinent data were requested concerning pregnancy and respiratory outcomes of the corresponding neonates. Data from 261 pregnancies at 13 institutions were collected. Eight of the 182 infants born within 4 days of amniocentesis developed respiratory distress syndrome (RDS); five of the eight infants with RDS required intubation, and all five had TDx-FLM values less than 70 mg of surfactant per gram of albumin. Three of the eight infants with RDS required hood oxygen only; two of these infants had TDx-FLM values at least 70 mg/g. Thirteen of 144 (9%) subjects who delivered within 4 days of amniocentesis and for whom a TDx-FLM assay and phosphatidylglycerol level were both reported had a TDx-FLM level of at least 70 mg/g and a negative phosphatidylglycerol result. No infant with this combination of results developed RDS. Fifteen of the 40 patients who delivered more than 4 days after amniocentesis, with both tests available, had TDx-FLM values at least 70 mg/g and were phosphatidylglycerol negative. In infants of diabetic mothers, TDx-FLM values at least 70 mg/g were not associated with RDS requiring intubation. The TDx-FLM assay may be useful in determining the best time of delivery for pregnant patients with diabetes, especially in a situation in which the TDx-FLM assay is mature and the phosphatidylglycerol result is immature.
