By using microarray data from the GEO, we discovered numerous differential gene expression correlations between the nonrelapse and relapse conditions of breast cancer.
Genes with differential correlations between the nonrelapse and relapse conditions were collected when the difference of the correlation of the genes in the two conditions was greater than AVG + 3∗SD or less than AVG − 3∗SD, where AVG and SD are, respectively, the average and standard deviation of the correlations of differential gene expressions between the two conditions.
She said: "If you think of obesity as a chronic relapsing condition, you could say well maybe every five years you have to diet for 12 weeks – I'm not sure that feels so untenable a position when you think of what we ask people with other chronic diseases to do, whether they are injecting insulin multiple times a day to control their diabetes or whatever.
Depression is often a chronic relapsing condition, with relapse rates of 50-80% in those who have been depressed before.
DM can be seen a gradual progressive illness, whereas COPD as a gradual relapsing condition [ 33].
The problem of relapse in depression is a significant one and for many individuals depression is a chronic relapsing condition.
It is a chronic, life-long, relapsing condition which has an enormous impact on the individual and the economy.
IBD, which primarily includes UC and Crohn's disease (CD), is a progressive, chronic and relapsing condition.
Drug dependence is a complex, chronic, relapsing condition that is often accompanied by severe health, psychological, economic, legal, and social consequences.
Tobacco dependence is recognized as a chronic, relapsing condition that requires ongoing evaluation and, as appropriate, intervention to support quitting and abstinence [ 1].
