014 Absolute PASI values are important to achieve DLQI remission

Time to achieve remission determines time to be in remission

INTRODUCTION Though remission is currently a treatment goal in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the number of patients who achieve and sustain remission in daily practice is still small. It is suggested that early remission will be associated with sustainability of remission. The aim was to study the association between time-to-remission and sustainability of remission in a cohort of ea...

Psoriasis: correlation between severity index (PASI) and quality of life index (DLQI) in patients assessed before and after systemic treatment*

BACKGROUND Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the skin that affects patients of all ages and both genders. The impact of the disease on quality of life is greater among patients with moderate to severe psoriasis. OBJECTIVE to establish a correlation between the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) based on a quality of life questio...

What are normal blood values for leukemia in remission.

E XPERIENCES with the “Criteria for the Evaluation of Response to Therapy in Acute Leukemia” have led us to question whether the criteria for complete blood remission should be based upon established normals or should make allowances for the pharmacologic effects of the particular chemotherapeutic agent being employed. In an attempt to answer this, data have been accumulated on values for hemog...

How to Compare the Absolute Values of Operator Sums and the Sums of Absolute Values?

We address the problem of comparing |A+B| and |A|+ |B| , for A,B ∈Mn(C) . Some results are obtained by using a technique of positive linear maps and several open questions are proposed. Mathematics subject classification (2010): Primary 15A60, 47A30, 47A60.
