The ‘GA²LEN Sinusitis Cohort’: an introduction
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GALEN) is a network of the leading European allergy clinical and research facilities and the GALEN Sinusitis Cohort is a database within this network. The aim of this cohort is to intensify research on rhinosinusitis phenoand endotypes, thus differentiating chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) into smaller disease entities based on clinical, biological, and patient-reported outcomes.

Pooling birth cohorts in allergy and asthma: European Union-funded initiatives - a MeDALL, CHICOS, ENRIECO, and GA²LEN joint paper.
Long-term birth cohort studies are essential to understanding the life course and childhood predictors of allergy and the complex interplay between genes and the environment (including lifestyle and socioeconomic determinants). Over 100 cohorts focusing on asthma and allergy have been initiated in the world over the past 30 years. Since 2004, several research initiatives funded under the EU Fra...
متن کاملChronic rhinosinusitis in asthma is a negative predictor of quality of life: results from the Swedish GA(2)LEN survey.
BACKGROUND Asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) both impair quality of life, but the quality-of-life impact of comorbid asthma and CRS is poorly known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of CRS and other relevant factors on quality of life in asthmatic subjects. METHODS This Swedish cohort (age 17-76 years) consists of 605 well-characterized asthmatics with and without CRS, 1...

متن کاملBasic Properties of Genetic Algorithm
We follow the rules: D is a non empty set, f1, f2 are finite sequences of elements of D, and i, n, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6 are natural numbers. We now state two propositions: (1) If n ¬ len f1, then (f1 a f2)⇂n = ((f1)⇂n) a f2. (2) (f1 a f2)↾(len f1 + i) = f1 a (f2↾i). A Gene-Set is a non-empty non empty finite sequence. Let S be a Gene-Set. We introduce GA− SpaceS as a synonym of UnionS. Let f ...
متن کاملAn Introduction to a New Criterion Proposed for Stopping GA Optimization Process of a Laminated Composite Plate
Several traditional stopping criteria in Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are applied to the optimization process of a typical laminated composite plate. The results show that neither of the criteria of the type of statistical parameters, nor those of the kinds of theoretical models performs satisfactorily in determining the interruption point for the GA process. Here, considering the configuration of ...
