Celiac disease: diagnostic criteria in progress [PDF]
Cellular & Molecular Immunology, 2011 Until a few years ago, celiac disease (CD) was thought to be a rare food intolerance that was confined to childhood and characterized by severe malabsorption and flat intestinal mucosa. Currently, CD is regarded as an autoimmune disorder that is common in the general population (affecting 1 in 100 individuals), with possible onset at any age and with ...

Validation of Proposed Criteria for Progressive Pulmonary Fibrosis
American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023 Rationale: Criteria for progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF) have been proposed, but their prognostic value beyond categorical decline in FVC remains unclear. Objectives: To determine whether proposed PPF criteria predict transplant-free survival (TFS) in patients with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) forms of interstitial lung disease (ILD ...

Compare three diagnostic criteria of progressive pulmonary fibrosis
Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2022 Abstract Background and objective: In patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD), a progressive fibrosing phenotype (PPF) typically demonstrates worsening respiratory symptoms, lung function decline and continuing fibrosis. The goal of this study was to compare the three different diagnostic criteria of PPF.

Criteria of progress for information systems design theories [PDF]
Information Systems and e-Business Management, 2010 According to Kuhn, science and progress are strongly interrelated. In this paper, we define criteria of progress for design theories. A broad analysis of the literature on information systems design science reveals that there is no consensus on the criteria of progress for design theories. We therefore analyze different concepts of progress for natural
