Prediction and forecasting models based on patient's history and biomarkers with application to Scleroderma disease [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 This paper aims at predicting lung function values based on patients historical lung function values and serum biomarkers in Scleroderma patients. The progression of disease is measured by three lung function indexes (FVC, TLC, DLCO). Values of four biomarkers (TIMP1, P3NP, HA, NT-proBNP) are available.

Clinical and Experimental Neuroimmunology, EarlyView.Principle and performance of an immunoprecipitation assay for detecting anti‐3‐hydroxy‐3‐methylglutaryl‐coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) autoantibodies using a non‐radioactive biotinylated recombinant protein. This new assay can serve as a potential alternative to the gold standard immunoprecipitation assay for detecting anti‐anti‐3‐hydroxy‐3 ...

arXiv, 2016 Medical researchers are coming to appreciate that many diseases are in fact complex, heterogeneous syndromes composed of subpopulations that express different variants of a related complication. Time series data extracted from individual electronic health records (EHR) offer an exciting new way to study subtle differences in the way these diseases ...

Equivariant Filter Design for Kinematic Systems on Lie Groups [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 It is known that invariance and equivariance properties for systems on Lie groups can be exploited in the design of high performance and robust observers and filters for real-world robotic systems. This paper proposes an analysis framework that allows any kinematic system on a Lie group to be embedded in a natural manner into an equivariant kinematic ...

The diagnosis and classification of scleroderma (systemic sclerosis).
Postgraduate medical journal, 1988 Difficulty in the diagnosis of the disease scleroderma may occur at the early stage prior to the development of obvious skin sclerosis. A presumptive diagnosis may be made if Raynaud's phenomenon is accompanied by a positive 'neck test', 'scleroderma ...

Clinical &Experimental Ophthalmology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The study objective was to compare the effectiveness of adalimumab (ADA) in monotherapy and in combination with methotrexate (MTX) for paediatric noninfectious uveitis (NIU). Methods Registry‐based observational study. Children receiving ADA for active uveitis were divided into the ADA monotherapy group (group 1) and the ADA plus ...

Estimating AutoAntibody Signatures to Detect Autoimmune Disease Patient Subsets [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Autoimmune diseases are characterized by highly specific immune responses against molecules in self-tissues. Different autoimmune diseases are characterized by distinct immune responses, making autoantibodies useful for diagnosis and prediction. In many diseases, the targets of autoantibodies are incompletely defined.

Dental Implant Therapy in Patients With Autoimmune Diseases: A Scoping Review
Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives The aim of this scoping review is to determine the effects of autoimmune diseases (ADs) and the agents used for treatment on dental implant survival and biologic outcomes. Material and Methods An electronic database search was performed in MEDLINE (PubMed), The Cochrane Library, and Embase on 29‐04‐2024.

A Bayesian Approach to Restricted Latent Class Models for Scientifically-Structured Clustering of Multivariate Binary Outcomes [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 In this paper, we propose a general framework for combining evidence of varying quality to estimate underlying binary latent variables in the presence of restrictions imposed to respect the scientific context. The resulting algorithms cluster the multivariate binary data in a manner partly guided by prior knowledge.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2016 Scleroderma is a disorder involving oral and facial tissues, with skin hardening, thin lips, deep wrinkles, xerostomia, tongue rigidity, and microstomia. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of oral manifestations and temporomandibular
