Assessing disease activity and disease activity indices for inflammatory bowel disease

Current Gastroenterology Reports, 2002
A crucial step in the development of clinical trials to determine the efficacy of various therapies for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has been the creation of activity indices. This article reviews the major components and operating characteristics of clinical activity indices commonly used in randomized, controlled trials of IBD therapy.

Crohn's Disease Activity

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1985
Summary:Twenty‐eight patients (mean age 13.5 years) with proven Crohn's disease were examined for factor VIII coagulation activity (VIII:C), factor VIII‐related antigen (VIII R:Ag), and factor VIII‐related ristocetin cofactor activity (VIII R:RCF). The factor VIII coagulation proteins were correlated with disease activity index according to van Hees ...

Complement Activation and Cardiovascular Disease

Hormone and Metabolic Research, 2008
The mechanisms by which tissue injury after acute myocardial infarction occurs have not been fully elucidated, but considerable evidence suggests that activation of complement plays an important role in the pathophysiology. Reperfusion of the ischemic myocardium is strictly necessary to rescue the exposed tissue from eventual death.

Disease activity score for still’s disease

Clinical Rheumatology
To develop the Still's Disease Activity Score (SDAS).We used data from the prospective adult-onset Still's disease cohort study and evaluated the disease activity. An expert group selected the most frequent, reproducible, and objective variables significantly modified in statistical analysis when comparing patients in the active group and in the ...

Monitoring the disease activity

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology, 2001
Primary Sjögren's syndrome is a chronic systemic rheumatic disease characterized as an autoimmune exocrinopathy or autoimmune epithelitis thereby suggesting a pathogenesis leading to tissue specific autoimmune lesion. The development of internationally approved criteria for the classification and diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome has been a major ...

Strictureplasty for active Crohn's disease

International Journal of Colorectal Disease, 2005
Several studies over the last 20 years have confirmed the safety and efficacy of strictureplasty in the treatment of obstructive Crohn's disease. However, almost all of these studies use strictureplasty to treat fibrotic strictures: limited resection being preferred to treat active disease strictures.

Necroptosis activation in Alzheimer's disease

Nature Neuroscience, 2017
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by severe neuronal loss; however, the mechanisms by which neurons die remain elusive. Necroptosis, a programmed form of necrosis, is executed by the mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) protein, which is triggered by receptor-interactive protein kinases (RIPK) 1 and 3. We found that necroptosis was activated

Assessment of disease activity.

Clinical and experimental rheumatology, 2003
The objective of this study was to select a simple, feasible and validated core set of variables for the assessment of disease activity in systemic sclerosis. The subcommittee members extensively reviewed the studies in which the disease activity had been assessed, and analysed the construct validity and the feasibility of the criteria used in each ...

Enzyme Activity in Periodontal Disease

Journal of Periodontology, 1970
T H E EXACT ROLE that enzymes play in oral diseases has not yet been clearly defined. Various studies have been conducted to determine if salivary enzymes are asso­ ciated with high caries rates, , 2 or involved in the de­ velopment of periodontal disease.
