JAC 2009 The 50 Best Inventions of 2009 From a rocket of the future to a $10 million lightbulb, here are TIME's picks for the best new gadgets and breakthrough ideas of the year Lights and shadows of clinical trials of HIV vaccines • The first three Phase III clinical trials have been discontinued for safety reasons, having more infections among the vaccinated than the placebo group. • Recently the Phase III clinical trial performed in Thailand using a priming with recombinant canarypox vector (ALVAC-HIV) plus two booster injections of a recombinant glycoprotein 120 subunit vaccine (AIDSVAX B/E) showed a 30% reduced infections in the vaccinated group.

Periodically a procedure extracts analysis for all patients present in the database server and stores them into a shared directory on the server machine. Physicians’ home Chemical analysis An Open Source ETL (Extraction Transformation and Load) tool is installed server-side. An automated process extracts analysis from the shared directory, applies several transformations in order to make analysis fit physicians’ needs and stores them into the analysis table. The chemical analysis mask, with de-normalized data (one exam = one column) ETL tool loads data into a relational database, built with normalized structure and exposed on Internet/intranet via secure ODBC connection. Analysis structure is de-normalized in real-time during physicians db exploration and is shown in user friendly forms. User authentication provides access control and strict db privileges management. …read/write… Virolab offices Results: GRT vs. DH by therapy line There is an increase in performance by increasing the therapy line: i.e. all models predict better when there is a long known therapy history On the other hand, subsequent therapy lines are likely to be more unsuccessful failure success 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% p<0.0001 first second third fourth or more 653 337 299 1542 therapy line HEALTH TECHNOLOGY ASSESSEMENT
