Delineating family needs in the transition from hospital to home for children with medical complexity: part 1, a meta-aggregation of qualitative studies.

Background: Advances in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions for rare diseases result in greater survival rates, with on the flipside an expanding group of children with medical complexity (CMC). When CMC leave the protective hospital environment to be cared for at home, their parents face many challenges as they take on a new role, that of caregiver rather than care-recipient. However, an overview of needs and experiences of parents of CMC during transition from hospital-to-home (H2H) is lacking, which hampers the creation of a tailored H2H care pathway.

A curated collection of human vaccination response signatures.

Recent advances in high-throughput experiments and systems biology approaches have resulted in hundreds of publications identifying "immune signatures". Unfortunately, these are often described within text, figures, or tables in a format not amenable to computational processing, thus severely hampering our ability to fully exploit this information. Here we present a data model to represent immune signatures, along with the Human Immunology Project Consortium (HIPC) Dashboard ( www.
