Fuzzy Sets and Systems journal “Decision tree based fuzzy classifier of 1-H magnetic resonance spectra from cerebrospinal fluid samples ”, Francesc Xavier Aymerich, Juli Alonso, Miquel E. Cabañas, M. Comabella, P. Sobrevilla, Alex Rovira; Fuzzy Sets and Systems 170, 43-63 (2011). DOI: 10.1016/j.fss.2011.01.003

This paper presents a method for classifying cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples studied by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1-H MRS) into clinical subgroups by means of a fuzzy classifier. The method focuses on the analysis of a low signal-to-noise region of the spectra and is designed to use a small number of samples because sampling can only be done through an invasive technique.

Conference: Metabolomics

News from the SeRMN, NMR Events & Courses,

Dr Toby Athersuch will be giving a talk on May the 20th at 12:00 h in the Sala de Graus 2, Facultat de Ciències i Biociències, Campus UAB. His talk is entitled “Adventures in metabolic hyperspace: an overview of metabonomic approaches and applications”. (Conference announcement: Conferència Toby – SeRMN)

Toby AthersuchDr Toby Athersuch is a Lecturer in Environmental Toxicology & Biomarkers in the MRC-HPA Centre for Environment & Health (Imperial College London). His appointment is jointly held between Biomolecular Medicine in the Department of Surgery & Cancer, and The Department of Epidemiology & Biostatistics in the School of Public Health. His research is primarily focused on the development and application of state-of-the-art analytical techniques such as high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic and mass spectrometric (MS) methods to the study of molecular mechanisms of human disease processes.  The application of metabolic profiling and other integrated post-genomic profiling technologies to answering epidemiological questions using various study designs is a rapidly expanding field of research, and requires the development of profiling techniques to underpin the required individual-level analyses.

All interested individuals are welcome to attend this session.

News from the SeRMN, ,

This is the continuation of a previous post. If you missed it, I recommend reading it first and then resume reading this post where I explain the new wiki for our users, the forum for news and announcements, and the new version of the booking software.

A wiki for our users

Until now the information relevant to users was scattered (some say hidden) throughout the pages at our website, and its management was affected by the technical limitations I already mentioned in my earlier post. In an attempt to improve the situation, less than two years ago we started a wiki site to evaluate the possibility of using a wiki to handle the amount of information we generate.

We are moving our web services

News from the SeRMN, ,

We are relocating all our web services to a new server at https://sermn.uab.cat. At the same time we are upgrading the software or replacing it by better solutions when deemed advisable. While we are in the move, you can browse the old SeRMN website at https://sermn.uab.cat/rmn3.

Funny moving houseFor the last few years we have managed several web services hosted at different servers. The SeRMN web page was at https://rmn3.uab.cat, the instrument booking was at https://sermn02.uab.cat/bumblebee, and there were two mail lists for news and notices to P.I. () and users (). Then we added recently a wiki site at https://sermn02.uab.cat/sermn-dokuwiki to test whether it could be useful. It was clear that such multi-site situation had to come to an end the sooner the better, and now we are hard at work to make things much simpler.

Identification of compounds of biological significance in foodstuffs by LC-NMR/MS. Olive oil

Methods & Applications, ,

There is a great interest in understanding the biochemical basis for the reported beneficial health effects of particular diets or food groups. Characterising the wide variety of nutrients in the things we eat and drink in detail is a substantial analytical challenge, especially when numerous sets of molecules in such mixtures may have very similar chemical structures.

Analysis of phenolic compounds in Extra Virgin Olive Oil by LC-NMR/MS. Differentiation and identification of diastereoisomeric molecules

Our Publications, ,

“Separation and Identification of Phenolic Compounds of Extra-Virgin Olive Oil from Olea Europaea L. by HPLC-DAD-SPE-NMR/MS. Identification of a New Diastereoisomer of the Aldehydic Form of Oleuropein Aglycone”, by Míriam Pérez-Trujillo, Ana María Gómez-Caravaca, Antonio Segura-Carretero, Alberto Fernández-Gutiérrez, Teodor Parella; Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 58, 9129-9136 (2010). DOI: 10.1021/jf101847e

The phenolic fraction of a monovarietal extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) from Olea europaea L. var. Cornezuelo was studied by the hyphenated HPLC-DAD-SPE-NMR/MS techniques. This survey led to the identification of 25 main compounds. One was identified as a new diastereoisomer of the aldehydic form of oleuropein aglycone (AOA) and characterized by 1D and 2D NMR techniques.
