In such condition, second-line hormonal agents lead to low response rates and brief disease control and multidisciplinary treatment includes symptomatic treatments, bisphosphonates, radiotherapy, radioisotopes and chemotherapy (Pienta and Smith, 2005).
However, we believe that the set of phenotypes manually curated by an expert provides a more informative categorization, since it (i) involves additional knowledge not reflected in the brief disease annotations; and (ii) is based on well-defined clinical terms and thus is more accessible and relevant for clinical research community.
The SF-36 is brief, disease-generic and readily available free of charge (version 1.0); despite critiques of its measurement properties [ 26– 30] its ubiquity and its conceptualization of health as a well-rounded concept comprised of eight domains make it a suitable first candidate for this investigation.
This study has demonstrated that a brief, non-disease specific measure of health related quality of life, when administered routinely to adults under care for HIV infection, captures prognostic information independent of current CD4+ lymphocyte count and HIV plasma viral load.
The King may have suffered a brief episode of disease in 1765, but a longer episode began in the summer of 1788.
Objective: to develop a brief, patient oriented disease specific multidisciplinary education programme (MEP) to enhance self-management in patients with OA.
6 12 13 14 In brief, coronary heart disease was defined as fatal or non-fatal myocardial infarction, surgical or percutaneous coronary revascularisation procedure (as a proxy for unstable or incapacitating angina), or death from coronary heart disease.
The objective of this study was to develop and describe a brief, patient oriented disease specific multidisciplinary education programme (MEP) which could be used to enhance self-management in patients with moderate to severe OA.
However, individual responses are variable, with some patients demonstrating resistance from the outset (intrinsic resistance) and others going on to develop resistance following a brief period of disease control (acquired resistance).
But this is just because most of us rarely encounter bacteria outside of what are usually brief episodes of disease, and the shapes of these common bacteria are admittedly pretty lame, being, as they are, no more than tiny cylinders.
(Q28 p100) After a brief exposure to disease information, the proportion of parents who stated that they would be highly likely to accept such vaccination of their child at 0 6 months of age against this disease if it was approved and recommended by their child's HCP increased from 54 to 68 % after seeing this information.
