01/2004 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerGPCALMA: a Grid-based Tool for Mammographic Screening
OBJECTIVES: The next generation of high energy physics (HEP) experiments requires a GRID approach to a distributed computing system: the key concept is the Virtual ORGANISATION (VO), a group of distributed users with a common goal and the will to share their resources. METHODS: A similar approach, applied to a group of hospitals that joined the GPCALMA project (Grid Platform for Computer Assisted Library for MAmmography), will allow common screening programs for early diagnosis of breast and, in the future, lung cancer...
Keywords: Grid, mammogram, screening, virtual organization
01/2005 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerCancer Screening Beliefs and Reactions to an Innovative Colorectal Cancer Screening Kit among Chinese Worksite Population
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the relationships between cancer screening beliefs (perceived pros, cons, and susceptibility) and reactions (acceptance, selfefficacy, intention to purchase) to an innovative home-administered kit (HAK) for fecal occult blood test (FOBT) among Chinese worksite population. METHODS: A total of 450 Chinese people aged 40 and older were recruited from ten worksites in Taiwan (2002), with response rate of 83% (375/450). RESULTS: All the belief scales of cancer screening in general showed good internal consistency (Cronbach alphas >0.70)...

01/2005 | Methods of Information in Medicine, SchattauerA Scoring System for Ascertainment of Incident Stroke; the Risk Index Score (RISc)
Objectives: The main objective of this study was to develop and validate a computer-based statistical algorithm that could be translated into a simple scoring system in order to ascertain incident stroke cases using hospital admission medical records data. Methods: The Risk Index Score (RISc) algorithm was developed using data collected prospectively by the Brain Attack Surveillance in Corpus Christi (BASIC) project, 2000...
