An economic evaluation of combination treatment with budesonide and formoterol in patients with mild-to- moderate persistent asthma

Patients with mild asthma may benefit from increasing their inhaled corticosteroid dose, adding a tong-acting beta(2)-agonist, or both. This study assessed the cost-effectiveness of these options. Patients aged greater than or equal to12 years with mild-to-moderate persistent asthma (n = 1272) were randomised to twice-daily, double-blind treatment with budesonide 100 mug, budesonide 100 mug plus f

Relationship between anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody determined with conventional binding and the capture assay, and long-term clinical course in vasculitis

Objectives. To evaluate the relationship between anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) measured with two different methods and long-term clinical course in vasculitis. Design. Retrospective determination of ANCA with two different assays for detection of PR3-ANCA, conventional direct binding ELISA and capture ELISA using monoclonal antibodies against PR3. The 245 ANCA determinations were per

PID Control, Design, Extension, Application

This thesis considers the design of PID controllers, the extensions of these controllers to improve their performance, and the applications of these design methods to industrial processes. New tuning methods for PI and PID controllers have been presented. These methods uses a model of the process to be controlled, given as a transfer function. The methods captures essential requirements of a cont

Extra-articular disease manifestations in rheumatoid arthritis: incidence trends and risk factors over 46 years

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence of extra-articular rheumatoid arthritis (ExRA) in a well defined community based cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to examine possible predictors of ExRA occurrence. Methods: Using the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, a retrospective medical record review was conducted of a cohort of 609 cases of RA in Olmsted C

Increased carotid plaque burden in men with the fibrillin-1 2/3 genotype

Fibrillin-1 (FBN1) is an important constituent of the vascular wall and earlier studies have indicated an effect of the FBN1 2/3 genotype on blood pressure as well as aortic stiffness in men. The aim of the present study was to determine whether the FBN1 2/3 genotype was associated with the presence of carotid plaque and incident cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in middle-aged subjects. The

Comparison of grey scale median (GSM) measurement in ultrasound images of human carotid plaques using two different softwares.

Grey scale median (GSM) measured on ultrasound images of carotid plaques has been used for several years now in research to find the vulnerable plaque. Centres have used different software and also different methods for GSM measurement. This has resulted in a wide range of GSM values and cut-off values for the detection of the vulnerable plaque. The aim of this study was to compare the values obta

Genetics of coronary heart disease: towards causal mechanisms, novel drug targets and more personalized prevention.

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is an archetypical multifactorial disorder that is influenced by genetic susceptibility as well as both modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors, and their interactions. Advances during recent years in the field of multifactorial genetics, in particular genomewide association studies (GWASs) and their meta-analyses, have provided the statistical power to identify and
