Disease relevance of World Health

 

Psychiatry related information on World Health

 

High impact information on World Health

  • MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cumulative incidence of diabetes, defined according to the diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO-1985 and WHO-1999) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA-1997), during a mean follow-up of 6.4 years, compared among participants with IFG, IGT, and normal glucose levels at baseline [11].
  • We have done a controlled intervention trial among 13,404 children under five in Jumla, Nepal, which relied exclusively on indigenous community health workers to detect and treat pneumonia according to the World Health Organisation decision strategy, with a five-day home-treatment course of oral co-trimoxazole [12].
  • Unsuitability of World Health Organisation guidelines for fluoride concentrations in drinking water in Senegal [13].
  • The World Health Organization's Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to assess nicotine dependence [14].
  • Report of the Joint International Society and Federation of Cardiology/World Health Organization Task Force on Nuclear Cardiology [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of World Health

  • Significantly less World Health Organization (WHO) grade 3 and 4 stomatitis (2% v 16%, P < .001) and a reduced incidence of leukopenia (6% v 13%) and diarrhea (10% v 19%) occurred in the raltitrexed group (particularly at cycle 1 ) [16].
  • Subjects were approximately 50% women, aged 30-79 years, without diabetes, and classified with the metabolic syndrome according to criteria for obesity, dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension proposed by the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) or the World Health Organization (WHO) [17].
  • OBJECTIVE: Nearly two decades ago, the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee on Diabetes Mellitus published diagnostic criteria for diabetes [18].
  • Men with the metabolic syndrome at baseline as defined by the World Health Organization (n = 114, 20%) had a 2.6-fold increased risk of developing hypogonadism as defined by total testosterone levels less than 11 nmol/liter at the 11-yr follow-up independent of age, smoking, and other potential confounders [19].
  • Fifty-five patients with primary hypertension, World Health Organization (WHO) stages I and II, were randomly allocated to a 9-mo multicenter, controlled, double-blind, crossover study with timolol, a nonselective beta adrenoceptor blocker, and hydrochlorothiazide combined with the potassium-sparing drug amiloride (AHCT) [20].
 

Biological context of World Health

  • A higher than the median S-VEGF level was associated with a poor World Health Organization performance status, a high International Prognostic Index, a high serum lactate dehydrogenase level, and a large cell histology [21].
  • Development and validation of the European League Against Rheumatism response criteria for rheumatoid arthritis. Comparison with the preliminary American College of Rheumatology and the World Health Organization/International League Against Rheumatism Criteria [22].
  • Both impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (as defined by the 1985 World Health Organization criteria) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (as defined by the 1997 American Diabetes Association criteria) represent intermediate metabolic states between normal and diabetic glucose homeostasis [23].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Based on available data, the model supports current World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control recommendations on HIV infection and breast-feeding [24].
  • We performed an integrated assessment of glucocorticoid secretion, metabolism, and action in 25 unmedicated lean male patients with hyperglycemia (20 with type 2 diabetes and 5 with impaired glucose intolerance by World Health Organization criteria) and 25 healthy men, carefully matched for body mass index, age, and blood pressure [25].
 

Anatomical context of World Health

 

Associations of World Health with chemical compounds

  • DATA EXTRACTION: To define normal glucose tolerance, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and diabetes, modified World Health Organization criteria were used [31].
  • Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization, among others, provided lists of all known studies [32].
  • Ann Arbor stage III/IV, World Health Organization performance status 2-4, and elevated lactate dehydrogenase negatively influenced overall survival from diagnosis [33].
  • In these heavily pretreated patients, 16% had a more than 50% decrease in creatinine clearance and a 22% World Health Organization (WHO) grade 2 ototoxicity [34].
  • The malaria parasite's development of resistance to the drug chloroquine is a major threat to world health [35].
 

Gene context of World Health

  • Significant univariate predictors (P < .05) of cancer recurrence were age older than 60 years, male sex, wedge resection, World Health Organization (WHO) adenocarcinoma subtype solid tumor with mucin, lymphatic invasion, and p53 expression [36].
  • A survival advantage was observed in patients with 0% to 20% dysadherin-positive cells compared with patients with 51% to 100% dysadherin-positive cells, independent of tumor-node-metastasis classification, and World Health Organization tumor grade (P =.019) [37].
  • HLA-DRB1 alleles were typed using polymerase chain reaction-sequence-specific primer amplification and were classified according to the 1996 World Health Organization nomenclature [38].
  • The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome was similar using World Health Organization (WHO) and National Cholesterol Education Program definitions (26.7% and 27.0%) but associations between the metabolic syndrome and increased haemostatic markers, particularly for raised factor VIII and VWF were stronger using WHO criteria [39].
  • OBJECTIVE: This study sought to compare renal safety signals between the COX-2-specific inhibitors rofecoxib and celecoxib, based on spontaneous reports of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) in the World Health Organization/Uppsala Monitoring Centre (WHO/UMC) safety database through the end of the second quarter 2000 [40].
