This study is the first to evaluate a combined hand and foot MRI score (HaF-score) for monitoring RA patients under DMARD therapy with methotrexate.
Furthermore, it was demonstrated in a collaborative international study that a strong correlation exists between the serum concentration of anti-dsDNA, as measured by CLIA instrumentation, and the SLEDAI-2K score currently used for monitoring SLE disease activity [27].
Emphasis is placed on pollen systems in which changes in pollen structure, chemistry, and chromosomes can be scored for monitoring; and screening systems which can record low levels of genetic effects as well as provide information on the nature of induced mutations.
The use of disease activity scores has been useful for monitoring individuals with other inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
Indeed, splitting the proverbial "reaction arrows" for each step in a given metabolic pathway into taxonomic bins provides a basis for integer optimization methods that compute "distribution" scores and a baseline for monitoring changes in the reaction network associated with environmental change or even human health status.
Many prognostic scoring systems have been developed for monitoring critically-ill patients.
The above-described scoring systems are not useful for monitoring sedation in patients treated with muscular blocking agents.
In the future, use of the currently available clinical scores explored herein may be beneficial for monitoring response to therapy.
The large variation in change scores across informants indicates a need for monitoring the development of mental health problems and securing that the youth's primary psychosocial needs are met.
Since the advent of non-invasive methods for liver fibrosis assessment, liver biopsy has been increasingly replaced with liver stiffness measurements or with computed scores based on serum biomarkers, particularly for monitoring viral infections such as HBV [ 1] or HCV [ 2, 3].
Scoring of examinations can also be used for monitoring disease progression.
