The Clinical Significance of Fungal Allergy in Patients with Atopic Dermatitis
… 아토피피부염의 임상적 중증도는 국제적으로 표준화된 중증도 지표인 standardized clinical scoring system for atopic dermatitis (SCORAD) 지수를 이용하여 평가하였다. 알레르겐 특이 IgE 항체가 3.5kU/L(CAP class 3)이상인 경우, 그 알레르겐에 대해 유의한 알레르기를 보이는 것(감작상태)으로 판정하였다. 아토피피부염 환자들에서 특정 알레르겐에 대한 감작률은 D. farinae 65.0 %, D. pteronyssinus 63.5%, M. furfur 50.9%, C. …

Clinical Parameters Are More Predictive of Mortality in Alcoholic Hepatitis than Histopathologic Severity
… hepatitis (AH) is primarily diagnosed by clinical parameters, but is often misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms, leading to high mortality rates. While histology aids definitive diagnosis, the role of the liver biopsy in its workup is still controversial. Currently, there is no widely …

Biomarker Profiling of Appendicitis in Pediatric Patients by Metabolomics, Metallomics and Inflammatory Mediator Profiling
… appendicitis diagnostic strategies including clinical scoring systems, laboratory tests of infection and inflammation and imaging studies, there are gaps in our ability to accurately diagnose appendicitis, and predict disease progression. In the present study we applied multiplexed …

Treatment of Enamel Demineralization Following Orthodontic Therapy
… agreement was almost perfect for the clinical exams. All three groups were significantly different with regards to reduction of number of white spots according to the clinical scoring. The placebo rinse group had the greatest reduction followed by the Ca-P group and the fluoride group. …

Measurements in wound healing : effects of topical agents on full thickness dermal incised wounds in an animal model
… accepted methods of assessing wounds exist. Clinical evaluation is usually subjective and not quantitative, resulting in unacceptable levels of inter- and intra-observer variation. Similarly lacking are clear histological correlates of what we consider good healing characteristics of a wound. …

Elucidating the constitutional genetic basis of multiple primary tumours
… to mitigate the associated risks with clinical intervention. They are caused by constitutional genetic variation affecting tumour suppressor genes or proto-oncogenes and recent improvements in sequencing technology have led to greater capability to detect more affected individuals …

Relationship between surfactant alterations and severity of disease in horses with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO)
… in RAO-affected horses are related to clinical stage of RAO. The objectives were 1) to compare surfactant phospholipid composition and function between Non-RAO and RAO horses at clinical stages and 2) to investigate relationships between surfactant alterations and variables assessing …

Aspects of Tuberculosis and HIV Coinfection in Patients at Ethiopian Health Centers
… with both HIV and TB? In two papers we developed clinical scoring algorithms to help answer these questions in areas with restricted access to laboratory facilities. In paper I, a clinical screening algorithm could increase the number of patients with low risk of TB, thereby limiting those in need …

Estrogen Depletion Effects on Myelination and Lipid Regulation within the Central Nervous System
… in the Plp1-iCKO-Myrf model, mice underwent clinical scoring and rotarod testing that showed increased motor disability consistent with demyelination. Furthermore, estrogen depletion in both healthy and demyelinated mice caused increased motor disability. Chapter 3 expands upon the …

Vascular calcification as a risk factor for peripheral arterial disease and its effects on angiogenesis
… within the arterial wall. Despite the many clinical advances available to treat PAD, impairment in microcirculation continues to put patients at constant risk of ischemia; increasing their risk of developing limb amputations which subsequently affects their quality of life. Therapies for PAD …

Peri-operative cardiac morbidity: prediction, prevention and the novel role of B-type natriuretic peptide
… of risk stratification currently available. Clinical scoring systems are simple and inexpensive but limited by their predictive value. Trans-thoracic echocardiography provides prognostic information but is inconsistent, adding little to clinical information alone. The most accurate methods of …

Prevention of stroke: risk stratification and targeted and novel therapies
… lowering therapy in the prevention of stroke. A clinical scoring system to aid diagnostic recognition in those with suspected transient ischaemic attack (TIA) was successfully developed and has the ability to reduce the referral of those without cerebrovascular disease to busy TIA clinics. The …
