Hip protectors reduced hip fractures in included studies, although a recent large study not meeting inclusion criteria was negative.
The PsA patients were diagnosed based on clinical finding of typical appearance of dactylitis; all except 1 patient (n=11) fulfilled CASPAR (ClASsification of Psoriatic Arthritis Criteria) criteria, 12 the one patient who did not fulfil the criteria was negative for rheumatoid factor and positive for HLA-B27.
Exclusion criteria were, negative confirmatory test for dengue, failure to follow study protocol and preexisting renal disease.
In order to be included in the study, participants had to meet all the following criteria: 1) have provided at least 2 urine and 2 stool samples on consecutive days; 2) be negative for intestinal helminths including S. mansoni (no one was excluded on this criteria as everyone was negative for these infections), 3) have given a blood sample.
In this study, our only exclusion criterion was the negative parameters, and those fits were remade with a different initial guess.
Exclusion criterion was a negative IgM-titer against phase II antigens.
A single sample that was positive by all other criteria, including for pfhrp2, was negative for pfhrp3.
For benefit criterion, the alternatives are compared based on (c_j) (criterion (c_j) is positive) and for cost criterion, the comparison process is carried out based on (c_{j}^{prime }) (criterion (c_j) is negative).
In 5 cases, the culture was negative, MSIS criteria for infection were not met, and no signs of infection were noticed in follow-up either.
