Suerdem - Science culture indicators from media monitoringinnovationoecd
This document discusses a project called MACAS that aims to produce science culture indicators through automated content analysis of digital news. It outlines three news corpora the project analyzes from the UK, Germany, India, and Turkey from 1990-2015. It also discusses the need for an open access science media monitoring system and the methodological steps involved, including corpus construction, issues with automatic crawling, and defining cultural indicators like media attention, saliency, sentiment analysis, and structure. Specific analysis is provided on a biotechnology corpus from UK newspapers.
The Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) was developed to describe phenotypic abnormalities, aka, “deep phenotyping”, whereby symptoms and characteristic phenotypic findings (a phenotypic profile) are captured. The HPO has been utilized to great success for assisting computational phenotype comparison against known diseases, other patients, and model organisms to support diagnosis of rare disease patients. Clinicians and geneticists create phenotypic profiles based on clinical evaluation, but this is time consuming and can miss important phenotypic features. Patients are sometimes the best source of information about their symptoms that might otherwise be missed in a clinical encounter. However, HPO primarily use medical terminology, which can be difficult for patients and their families to understand. To make the HPO accessible to patients, we systematically added non-expert terminology (i.e., layperson terms) synonyms. Using semantic similarity, patient-recorded phenotypic profiles can be evaluated against those created clinically for undiagnosed patients to determine the improvement gained from the patient-driven phenotyping, as well as how much the patient phenotyping narrows the diagnosis. This patient-centric HPO can be utilized by all: in patient-centered rare disease websites, in patient community platforms and registries, or even to post one’s hard-to-diagnosed phenotypic profile on the Web.

The rapid expansion of global trade and travel has increased the introduction of non-native pathogens. Climate change also influences pathogens directly and indirectly. Sudden Oak Death, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora ramorum, is provided as an example. Accurately identifying pathogen species and populations is critical for risk assessment and disease management, but this presents challenges. There is also limited understanding of global pathogen diversity and limited cooperation on knowledge sharing. The Phytophthora Database was created to address these issues through genetic characterization of isolates and providing analysis tools.
Disease portals -a platform for genetic and genomic researchJennifer Smith
The Disease Portals at the Rat Genome Database provide a comprehensive platform for genetic and genomic research through the integration of heterogeneous datasets in the context of the genome using multiple ontologies and visualization tools. The portals provide both novice and experienced users easy access to a knowledge base that can be tailored to their interests. Components include comprehensive gene and QTL datasets for rat, human, and mouse associated with diseases, phenotypes, and pathways. The portals also feature genome browsing, synteny viewing, and reports on genes, QTLs, and strains. Current portals focus on cardiovascular, nervous system, obesity, diabetes, and cancer research but will expand to additional areas.
The document discusses six emerging threats from synthetic biology: binary biological weapons, designer diseases, designer genes, gene therapy as a weapon, stealth viruses, and host-swapping diseases.

This document provides a summary of the history and origins of HIV/AIDS. It discusses how SIV was transferred from chimpanzees and sooty mangabeys in Central Africa to humans between 1884-1924. The "bushmeat theory" suggests that hunting and butchering of primates led to repeated zoonotic transmissions of SIV. It then outlines the key conditions required for a zoonotic pathogen like SIV to establish itself in humans. The document proceeds to chronicle the major events in the identification and spread of HIV/AIDS globally from 1959-2006, including its emergence in the US in the early 1980s and the discovery of HIV in 1984.

● Biosecurity Measures: Moderate biosecurity measures in place, including
limited access, truck disinfection, and employee training.
Presenting Complaint:
Happy Pig Swine Farm reported an increased number of sick pigs characterized by
high fever, lethargy, and sudden deaths. The farm owner noticed a decline in feed
consumption and weight gain. A veterinary investigation was requested to
determine the cause of the illness.
Clinical History:
The finishing pig farm had a clean health record, with no recent introductions of
pigs. The farm sourced feed from a reputable supplier, and the transportation of
pigs followed biosecurity protocols. The farm had not experienced any major
disease outbreaks in the past.
Clinical Examination:
Upon arrival, the veterinarian observed pigs with high fever, reluctance to move, and
in some cases, hemorrhagic skin lesions. The mortality rate had significantly
increased, and the surviving pigs showed signs of depression and anorexia.

35. Conclusion
The Future of AI and Bioterrorism: AI has the potential
for both progress and peril in this context.
Our Collective Responsibility: We must take proactive
measures (or at least be aware of) to ensure LLM is used
ethically (i.e. dis-/mis-information) and responsibly,
safeguarding global health security.
The Path Forward: Encourage continued discussion,
research, and collaboration to address the challenges
posed by LLM in bioterrorism.
