Forming real vector spaces, we have the linear maps, which preserve the vector space structure L(n; R) = { M : R → R ∣∣M(a~x+ b~y) = aM(~x) + bM(~y) } (1) This is a monoid, not a group, as inverses may not exist. The first group is the general linear group, which preserve dimensionality GL(n; R) = { M ∈ L(n) ∣∣M is invertible } . (2) Further, we have the area preserving maps SL(n; R) = { M ∈ L(...

As we know from the literature [1], infections are the second leading cause of death in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients (25%), immediately after the complications related to disease activity (26%). Infections are an important cause of hospitalization too, mostly if there are some concomitant conditions, such as an active disease with a high SLE disease activity index score, extensiv...

The 3rd European Science Foundation– University of Barcelona (ESF–UB) Conference in Biomedicine on Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacogenomics was held in Sant Feliu de Guixols, Spain, from 6–10 June 2010. It was focused on practical applications in routine medical practice [101]. When planning this conference 2 years ago, we thought it would be interesting to synthesize some knowledge gained in the ...
