Estimates of rare disease (RD) population impact in terms number affected patients and accurate definition is hampered by their under-representation current coding systems. This study tested the use a specific RD codification system (ORPHAcodes) five European countries/regions (Czech Republic, Malta, Romania, Spain, Veneto region-Italy) across different data sources over period January 2019-September 2021.Overall, 3133 ORPHAcodes were used to describe diagnoses, mainly corresponding...
Abstract Background In European Union countries, any disease affecting less than 5 people in 10,000 is considered rare. As expertise scarce and rare diseases (RD) are complex, RD patients can remain undiagnosed for many years. The period of searching a diagnosis, called diagnostic delay, sometimes leads to dead end when the patient’s impossible diagnose after undergoing all available investigations. recent years, extensive efforts have been made support implementation ORPHA nomenclature...
In vivo exposure of rat lungs to crystalline silica either by intratracheal instillation or inhalation results in an increase mRNA levels for inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) bronchoalveolar lavage cells (BALC), elevated (.NO) production BALC, and .NO-dependent chemiluminescence (CL) from alveolar macrophages (AM). Induction iNOS message occurs both AM polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) harvested silica-exposed but is not significantly lavaged lung tissue. vitro does stimulate .NO...
This consensus-based guideline was developed by all relevant German pediatric medical societies. Ultrasound is the standard imaging modality for pre- and postnatal kidney cysts should also exclude extrarenal manifestations in abdomen internal genital organs. MRI has selected indications. Suspicion of a cystic disease prompt consultation nephrologist. Prenatal management must be tailored to very different degrees severity. After renal oligohydramnios, we recommend delivery perinatal center....
In Germany all physicians are compelled to code according the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th revision, German Modification (ICD-10-GM), Statutory Insurance. The classification is in use since 2004 same Version for inpatient outpatient care. Special coding guidelines be used care. DIMDI provides an Index ICD-10-GM, which contains approx. 80.000 terms. For electronic index published with a unique identifier (so called Alpha-ID). This...
The mechanism of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis is not yet clear. Recent studies have shown that alveolar macrophages (AM) can be stimulated by bleomycin in vitro releasing inflammatory cytokines, suggesting the interaction with AM an important step drug-induced fibrotic process. Bleomycin known to bind DNA and generate oxygen radicals through complexation Fe2+ oxygen. To provide more insight into cellular oxidative property bleomycin, we developed a fluoromicroscopic method using...
Arachidonic acid metabolites such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes are well known modulators of intestinal vascular perfusion, motility, electrogenic ion transport. We investigated the effect different hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) from cytochrome P450- lipoxygenase-dependent arachidonate metabolism on chloride secretion in rat distal colon. Using conventional Ussing techniques, basolateral 12-HETE significantly decreased basal short-circuit current (I(sc)) inhibited...
Kurzfassung Ausgangpunkt einer effizienten Prozessgestaltung ist häufig die Montage, auf Grund des hohen Anteils manueller Tätigkeiten und der großen Verantwortung für Produktqualität, Herstellkosten Liefertreue großes Verbesserungspotenzial verspricht. Der Wunsch nach stetig verbesserten Arbeitssystemen, Standardisierung Transparenz im Sinne schlanken Produktion stellt jedoch auch hohe Anforderungen an Prozessqualität Effizienz Produktionslogistik. Das Material muss zuverlässig...
