Measurement of damage in systemic vasculitis: a comparison of the Vasculitis Damage Index with the Combined Damage Assessment Index [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2011
To compare the Vasculitis Damage Index (VDI) with the Combined Damage Assessment Index (CDA) as measures of damage from vasculitis.A total of 283 patients with vasculitis from 11 European centres were evaluated in a cross-sectional study using the VDI and CDA.Wegener's granulomatosis (58.4%) and microscopic polyangiitis (11.0%) were the most common ...

A damage index of generalised applicability

Engineering Structures, 2005
Abstract Structural damage caused by earthquakes may be due to excessive deformations, or it may be in the form of accumulated damage sustained under repeated load reversals. The way these two components are combined is strictly dependent upon the structural material.

The Hurricane Damage Index (HurDI)

Journal of Catastrophe Risk and Resilience
Statistical hurricane risk assessments make long-term multi-decadal stationary climate assumptions, but there is large hurricane variability in the risk. It would be useful to also better estimate the “current” risk. The hurricane damage index (HurDI), is proposed as a measure of the underlying non-stationary risk.

Vasculitis damage index in Behçet’s disease [PDF]

Advances in Rheumatology, 2021
Abstract Background Vasculitis damage index (VDI) is a validated damage index for systemic vasculitis, and as Behçet’s disease is considered one of systemic vascular disease we aimed to study the relationship of the vasculitis damage index to clinical manifestations and comorbidity in patients with Behçet’s disease (BD ...

In silico validation of the Autoinflammatory Disease Damage Index. [PDF]

Ann Rheum Dis, 2018
Autoinflammatory diseases can cause irreversible tissue damage due to systemic inflammation. Recently, the Autoinflammatory Disease Damage Index (ADDI) was developed. The ADDI is the first instrument to quantify damage in familial Mediterranean fever, cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, mevalonate kinase deficiency and tumour necrosis factor ...

The Fatty liver Index (FLI) 15 years later: a reappraisal [PDF]

, 2021
The Fatty Liver Index (FLI) is a non-invasive biomarker proposed, in 2006, by Bedogni’s group, to aid in identifying patients with suspected nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) to be submitted to liver ultrasonography to confirm steatosis.

Intracellular calcium as an index of neurotoxic damage [PDF]

Toxicology, 1988
The availability of techniques that allow the quantitation of levels of ionized calcium within intact cells and synaptosomes, allows a new approach to understanding the events underlying neurotoxicity. By use of various pharmacological agents, it is possible to dissect out vulnerable loci within the cell that account for the increases in cytosolic ...

Cell Damage Index as Computational Indicator for Blood Cell Activation and Damage. [PDF]

Artif Organs, 2018
AbstractShear‐induced hemolysis is a major concern in the design and optimization of blood‐contacting devices. Even with a small amount of mechanical stress, inflammatory reactions can be triggered in the cells. Blood damage is typically estimated using continuum fluid dynamics simulations.

Development of the autoinflammatory disease damage index (ADDI) [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2017
Autoinflammatory diseases cause systemic inflammation that can result in damage to multiple organs. A validated instrument is essential to quantify damage in individual patients and to compare disease outcomes in clinical studies. Currently, there is no such tool.
