    Abstract More than 100,000 human genetic variations have been described in various genes that are associated with a wide variety of diseases. Such data provides invaluable information for both clinical medicine and basic science. A number of locus-specific databases have been developed to exploit this huge amount of data. However, the scope, format and content of these databases differ strongly and as no standard for variation databases has yet been adopted, the way data is presented varies enormously. This review aims to give an overview of current resources for human variation data in public and commercial resources.

    Abstract Identifying drug target candidates is an important task for early development throughout the drug discovery process. This process is supported by the development of new high-throughput technologies that enable better understanding of disease mechanism. It becomes critical to facilitate effective analysis of the large amount of biological data. However, with much of the biological knowledge represented in the literature in the form of natural text, analysis and interpretation of high-throughput data has not reached its potential effectiveness. In this paper, we describe our solution in employing text mining as a technique in finding scientific information for target and biomarker discovery from the biomedical literature. Our approach utilises natural language processing techniques to capture linguistic patterns for the extraction of biological knowledge from text. Additionally, we discuss how the extracted knowledge is used for the analysis of biological data such as next-generation sequencing and gene expression data.

    Abstract New studies confirm the possibility of late thrombolysis. Meta-analyses have confirmed that CGRP inhibitors are efficacious for migraines. Cladribine is a new oral treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy (LATE) is a new clinical entity accounting for cognitive decline in old patients. The timing of levodopa introduction has no effect on the long-term course of idiopathic Parkinson's disease. Hypophosphatemia helps distinguish between seizures and syncopes in the emergency department. A second course of intravenous immunoglobulins provides no benefit for severe Guillain Barre syndrome. Outdoor therapy improves clinical scales in patients with disorder of consciousness. Ultrasound guided lumbar puncture improves the yield of the procedure.

    Abstract Significant developments were published in 2020 in the field of blood biomarkers in Alzheimer's disease. Several studies helped to define more accurately the management of status epilepticus and of epilepsy in women of childbearing age. The new Swiss guidelines for the pre-hospital management of acute stroke were issued, as are new targets for stroke prevention. Numerous advances concerning the management of NMO-SD (NeuroMyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder) were published. Different neurological presentations linked to the COVID-19 pandemic were described (central and peripheral). Several studies confirmed the effectiveness of new migraine treatments (including anti-CGRP). New pharmacological therapies are available for Parkinson's disease.

    Title translation Management of the acute and chronic polyradiculoneuropathies.
    Abstract Acute and chronic polyradiculoneuropathies are described in this review, both treatable uncommon forms of neuropathies. These diseases associate proximal and distal sensitivomotor involvement. Their onset can be acute or chronic. Both forms are dysimmune. Their treatment are based on immuno-modulation and immuno-suppression in chronic forms. Work-up sequence and therapeutical modes are discussed in the light of recently published data, with a special interest on pain management and early rehabilitation.

    Abstract Interactive visual analysis of biological high-throughput data in the context of the underlying networks is an essential task in modern biomedicine with applications ranging from metabolic engineering to personalized medicine. The complexity and heterogeneity of data sets require flexible software architectures for data analysis. Concise and easily readable graphical representation of data and interactive navigation of large data sets are essential in this context. We present BiNA--the Biological Network Analyzer--a flexible open-source software for analyzing and visualizing biological networks. Highly configurable visualization styles for regulatory and metabolic network data offer sophisticated drawings and intuitive navigation and exploration techniques using hierarchical graph concepts. The generic projection and analysis framework provides powerful functionalities for visual analyses of high-throughput omics data in the context of networks, in particular for the differential analysis and the analysis of time series data. A direct interface to an underlying data warehouse provides fast access to a wide range of semantically integrated biological network databases. A plugin system allows simple customization and integration of new analysis algorithms or visual representations. BiNA is available under the 3-clause BSD license at http://bina.unipax.info/.

    Abstract Background: Cancer is a disease of genome alterations that arise through the acquisition of multiple somatic DNA sequence mutations. Some of these mutations can be critical for the development of a tumor and can be useful to characterize tumor types or predict outcome.
    Description: We have constructed an integrated biological information system termed the Roche Cancer Genome Database (RCGDB) combining different human mutation databases already publicly available. This data is further extended by hand-curated information from publications.The current version of the RCGDB provides a user-friendly graphical interface that gives access to the data in different ways: (1) Single interactive search by genes, samples, cell lines, diseases, as well as pathways, (2) batch searches for genes and cell lines, (3) customized searches for regularly occurring requests, and (4) an advanced query interface enabling the user to query for samples and mutations by various filter criteria.
    Conclusion: The interfaces of the presented database enable the user to search and view mutations in an intuitive and straight-forward manner. The database is freely accessible at http://rcgdb.bioinf.uni-sb.de/MutomeWeb/.

    Abstract Sequence variations are being studied for a better understanding of the mechanism and development of cancer as a mutation-driven disease. The systematic sequencing of genes in tumors and technological advances in high-throughput techniques combined with efficient data acquisition methods have resulted in an explosion of available cancer genome-related data. Despite the technological progress and increase of data, improvements in the application area, for example, drug target discovery, have failed to keep pace with increased research and development spending. One reason for this discrepancy is the ever increasing number of databases and the absence of a unified access to the mutation data. Currently, researchers typically have to browse several, often highly specialized databases to obtain the required information. A more complete understanding of relations and dependencies between mutations and cancer, however, requires the availability of an efficient integrative cancer genome information system. To facilitate this, we developed the Roche Cancer Genome Database (RCGDB), a freely available biological information system integrating different kinds of mutation data. The database is the first comprehensive integration of disparate cancer genome data like single nucleotide variants, single nucleotide polymorphisms, and chromosomal aberrations (CGH and FISH). RCGDB is freely accessible via a Google-like Web interface at http://rcgdb.bioinf.uni-sb.de/MutomeWeb/. Hum Mutat 31:1-7, 2010.

    Abstract Thrombolysis and late thrombectomy can be performed in case of compatible radiological imaging. Anti-CGRP monoclonal antibodies seem more effective for the treatment of migraine. Siponimod can reduce significantly disability progression in secondarily progressive MS. Brand-to-generic levetiracetam switching does not cause recrudescence of epileptic seizures. A new definition of Alzheimer's disease using biomarkers of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and imaging provides a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The use of levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel and a subcutaneous apomorphine infusion allow a reduction of motor fluctuations in Parkinson's disease. Eculizumab appears as an alternative treatment in severe forms of myasthenia gravis.
