Waist‐to‐height ratio is as reliable as biochemical markers to discriminate pediatric insulin resistance by Rafael de Oliveira Alvim, Divanei Zaniqueli, Felipe Silva Neves, Virgilia Oliveira Pani, Caroline Resende Martins, Marcos Alves de Souza Peçanha, Míriam Carmo Rodrigues Barbosa, Eliane Rodrigues de Faria, José Geraldo Mill

“…However, taking into account the cost-benefit ratio, we suggest that waist-to-height ratio may be a useful tool to provide screening for insulin resistance in pediatric populations. Resumo: Objetivo: Considerando a importância de incorporar ferramentas simples e de baixo custo no cenário clínico-pediátrico para a triagem de resistência à insulina, o presente estudo buscou investigar se a razão cintura/estatura é comparável a marcadores bioquímicos na discriminação de resistência à insulina em crianças e adolescentes. …”

Incrementally building FAIR Digital Objects with Specimen Data Refinery workflows by Oliver Woolland, Paul Brack, Stian Soiland-Reyes, Ben Scott, Laurence Livermore

“…However, even at this early stage we have identified several challenges that need to be addressed.FDO lessonsWe highlight the De novo use case because this workflow is exchanging partial FDOs – openDS objects which are not fully completed and not yet assigned persistent identifiers. openDS schemas are still in development, therefore SDR uses a more flexible JSON schema where only the initial metadata (populated from CSV) are required. Each step validates the partial FDO before passing it to the underlying command line tool.Although workflow steps exchange openDS objects, they cannot be combined in any order. …”
