Development of a clinical data warehouse for hospital infection control.

TL;DR: The authors report development of a clinical data warehouse that they created by importing data from the information systems of three affiliated public hospitals, and describe their methodology; difficulties encountered; responses from administrators, computer specialists, and clinicians; and the steps taken to capture and store patient-level data.

Role of liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HR/MS) in clinical toxicology.

TL;DR: LC-HR/MS is more suitable to clinical toxicology because the drugs present in a sample are rarely known a priori, and tentative identifications of unknowns can be made without the availability of a reference standard or a library spectrum.
