Pathophysiological lessons from rare associations of autoimmune diseases
Membranous nephropathy (MN) is a non-proliferative glomerular disease characterized by accumulation of immune deposits on the outer aspect of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM) leading to complement activation and proteinuria. Eighty per cent of cases are referred to as ‘idiopathic MN’ (iMN), while ~20% are classified as ‘secondary’ because they occur in patients presenting with associated ...
متن کاملA journey of hope: lessons learned from studies on rare diseases and orphan drugs.
Rare diseases are frequently life-threatening or chronically debilitating and the impact on the quality of life of affected patients and their family members is thus significant. However, drug development for these conditions has been limited by a lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms of disease and the relative unavailability of subjects for clinical trials, as well as the prohibi...

The other group of are Autoimmune or possibly infectious (but with no specific causal infectious agent identified) including sarcoidosis, Guillain-Barre syndrome/ acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy ( AIDP), chronic in...
متن کاملMechanistic and therapeutic insights into skeletal biology learned from the study of rare bone diseases
To date, nearly 500 unique rare bone diseases have been described,which in the aggregate affect 1 in 5000 live births and comprise 5% of all birth defects. Currently, the overwhelming majority of these disorders have no cure. Studying rare bone diseases has helped elucidate biological pathways and reveal valuable therapeutic targets that also benefit patients with common bone diseases. In an ef...
متن کاملLessons Extracting Diseases from Discharge Summaries
We developed a program to extract diseases and procedures from discharge summaries and have applied this program to 96 cases annotated by physicians. We compared the concepts extracted by the program to those extracted by the annotators. The program extracts 93% of the desired concepts including some more specific than the annotators. Concepts were missed because phrases were ambiguous, phrases...
