Dataset Information

A clinician's guide to omics resources in dermatology.

ABSTRACT: With recent advances in high-throughput technologies, we are now in an era where the use of large-scale datasets of biological samples and individual diseases can be analysed using omics methodologies. These include genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics and epigenomics. Omics approaches have been developed to deliver a holistic understanding of systems biology, to identify key biomarkers, and to aid in the interpretation of molecular, biochemical and environmental interactions. Navigating through the plethora of online datasets to find useful and concise information for comparison of data can be complex and overwhelming. The purpose of this article is to review the current repositories and databases, and to evaluate their application in dermatological research and their relevance to clinical practice. For this study, an extensive review of online platforms used in dermatology research was undertaken. Online resources for genetic disease information, genetic disease connection platforms for patients and researchers, clinical interpretation of variants, genome and DNA databases, and omics data repositories and resources were collected. This study provides a comprehensive overview of relevant databases that will aid clinicians and scientists using omics data in dermatology.

Project description:Despite continued advances in health care, the cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality rate has plateaued in recent years and appears to be trending upward. Poor diet is a leading cause of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus, which are leading contributors to CVD morbidity and mortality. Although dietary modification is a cornerstone of CVD prevention, implementation in clinical practice is limited by inadequate formal training in nutrition science. In this report, we review the individual components of a heart-healthy diet, evidence-based dietary recommendations, and the impact of diet on CVD risk factor prevention and management. Furthermore, we examine the unique difficulties of dietary counseling in low-socioeconomic-status environments and provide an evidence-based approach to better serve these populations. We utilized PubMed searches in adults with no date restriction with the following search terms: "carbohydrate," "fat," protein," "DASH," "Mediterranean," "plant-based," "vegetarian," "cardiovascular disease," "obesity," "weight loss," "diabetes," "socioeconomic status," and "race." In this review, we demonstrate that patients should focus on implementing a general diet plan that is high in fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nonstarchy vegetables while low in trans-fats, saturated fats, sodium, red meat, refined carbohydrates, and sugar-sweetened beverages. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, Mediterranean, and vegetarian diets have the most evidence for CVD prevention. Clinicians should understand the barriers that patients may face in terms of access to healthy dietary choices. Further research is needed to determine the dietary changes that are most economically, socioculturally, and logistically feasible to reduce these barriers. Improvement in diet is a public health priority that can lead to a significant population-level reduction in CVD morbidity and mortality. It is imperative that clinicians understand current dietary practice guidelines and implement evidence-based dietary counseling in those at high risk for CVD.
