High-throughput screening ( HTS) is a method for scientific discovery especially used in drug discovery and relevant to the fields of biology, materials science [ 1] and chemistry. [ 2][ 3] Using robotics, data processing/control software, liquid handling devices, and sensitive detectors, high-throughput screening allows a researcher to quickly ...
Screening (medicine) A coal miner completes a screening survey for coalworker's pneumoconiosis. Screening, in medicine, is a strategy used to look for as-yet-unrecognised conditions or risk markers. [1] [2] [3] This testing can be applied to individuals or to a whole population without symptoms or signs of the disease being screened.
Evidence-based design ( EBD) is the process of constructing a building or physical environment based on scientific research to achieve the best possible outcomes. [1] [2] Evidence-based design is especially important in evidence-based medicine, where research has shown that environment design can affect patient outcomes.
Clinical study design is the formulation of trials and experiments, as well as observational studies in medical, clinical and other types of research (e.g., epidemiological) involving human beings. [ 1] The goal of a clinical study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and / or the mechanism of action of an investigational medicinal product (IMP ...
The electronic health record (EHR) is a more longitudinal collection of the electronic health information of individual patients or populations. The EMR, in contrast, is the patient record created by providers for specific encounters in hospitals and ambulatory environments and can serve as a data source for an EHR. [ 6][ 7] In contrast, a ...
Comparative effectiveness research ( CER) is the direct comparison of existing health care interventions to determine which work best for which patients and which pose the greatest benefits and harms. The core question of comparative effectiveness research is which treatment works best, for whom, and under what circumstances. [1]
A genetic screen or mutagenesis screen is an experimental technique used to identify and select individuals who possess a phenotype of interest in a mutagenized population. [ 1] Hence a genetic screen is a type of phenotypic screen. Genetic screens can provide important information on gene function as well as the molecular events that underlie ...
Good clinical practice (GCP) is an international quality standard, which governments can then transpose into regulations for clinical trials involving human subjects. GCP follows the International Council for Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH), and enforces tight guidelines on ethical aspects of clinical research.
