Can We Improve Outcome in Systemic Sclerosis?
Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) is a serious multisystem disease of unknown etiology that affects approximately 100,000 individuals in the United States. SSc has a predilection for women, with a peak onset during childbearing years, but it also affects men, children, and the elderly. Although the etiology of SSc remains obscure, research over the past 30 years implicates an altered immune...
متن کاملBifurcation control of a seizing human cortex.
We consider as a mathematical model of human cortical electrical activity a system of fourteen ordinary differential equations. With appropriate parameters, the model produces activity characteristic of a seizure. To prevent such seizures, we incorporate feedback controllers into the model dynamics. We show that three controllers--a linear feedback controller, a differential controller, and a f...
متن کاملCan pegylated interferon improve the outcome of polycythemia vera patients?
Pegylated interferon (peg-IFN) was proven by phase II trials to be effective in polycythemia vera (PV); however, it is not clear whether it could improve patient outcome compared to hydroxyurea (HU). Here, we present an observational study on 65 PV patients aged 65 years or younger, who received either peg-IFN (30) or HU (35) according to the physician choice. Median follow-up was 75 months. Th...
متن کاملCan mouse models of cancer reliably improve clinical trial outcome?
One of the major threats humankind faces today is cancer. Incidences of neoplasia worldwide are estimated to translate to 13 million cancer deaths by 2030. Despite promising response rates through treatment modalities such as surgical resection as well as chemoand radiation therapy in a few cancer entities, we still lack sufficient therapeutics that provide long-term survival in cancer patients...
