Evidence of systemic inflammation and estimation of coronary artery disease risk: a population perspective.

29 Sep 2008 A growing body of evidence indicates that patients with immune-inflammatory diseases experience an increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, patients with immune-inflammatory diseases do not exhibit a corresponding ... Read more...

Prevalence and patterns of anti-nuclear antibodies in Korean children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis according to ILAR criteria.

30 Aug 2008 OBJECTIVES: To investigate the prevalence and patterns of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA) in different subtypes of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) according to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria. METHODS: ... Read more...

Serum adenosine deaminase levels in diagnosis of acute appendicitis.

30 Aug 2008 BACKGROUND: Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is found in most tissues including lymphoid cells and lymph nodes. It is a marker of T lymphocyte activation. The role of type 1 and type 2 T helper cells in appendicitis has been investigated experimentally. ... Read more...
