Disease relevance of VDI

• OBJECTIVES: We compared the safety, tolerance and effectiveness of overdrive high right atrial (RA), dual-site RA and support (DDI or VDI) pacing (SP) in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) and bradycardias [1].
• Birmingham vasculitis activity scores (BVAS) and damage index (VDI) were calculated [2].
• The data presented suggest that the VDI questionnaire is a reliable, valid and responsive instrument for patients with vertigo, dizziness or imbalance [3].
• The VDI was not associated with the number of relapses [4].
• BACKGROUND: The ratios of abducting to adducting eye movements (versional dysconjugacy index, VDI) for saccadic velocity and acceleration have been useful measures by which to objectively characterize internuclear ophthalmoparesis (INO) [5].

Psychiatry related information on VDI

• VDI scores were more correlated with Balance Scale scores than with mental health indicators [3].

High impact information on VDI

• Peptide A8-VDI, but not peptide VDI alone, was immunogenic in six different inbred strains of mice disparate at H-2, indicating that the Th cell epitope(s) contained in the A8 portion of the chimera was recognized in the context of multiple major histocompatibility complex (MHC) haplotypes [6].
• This set of topological indices, EDI, S(e) combined with VDI, OEI, and RDI proposed in our previous paper can characterize the molecular structures of diverse hydrocarbons well [7].
• CSS showed high neurological (72%), cardiovascular (28%) and gastrointestinal (17%) involvement and the highest median (range) VDI (p = 0.01 vs. WG; p = 0.001 vs. MPA) [2].
• A new measure for assessing the health-related quality of life of patients with vertigo, dizziness or imbalance: the VDI questionnaire [3].
• PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used the recently designed Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS; maximum score 63) and vasculitis damage index (VDI; maximum score 59) to assess initial activity and long-term damage, respectively, in ANCA positive patients from one center over a 3-year period [4].

Biological context of VDI

• We concluded that VDI may be a very useful index in detecting subtle disorders in saccades conjugacy [8].
• A summary of a critical review by a working group of the German commission on Air Pollution Prevention of VDI and DIN of the actual data on exposure and health effects (excluding cancer) of fine particulate air pollution is presented [9].

Anatomical context of VDI

• Further analysis of the T cell receptor VDI sequences revealed that natural killer cell receptor-positive, CD3-positive cells isolated from a given individual are oligoclonal or monoclonal in nature [10].

Associations of VDI with chemical compounds

• The VDI mode automatically returned to DDD when the atrial rate fell below the URL [11].

Other interactions of VDI

• Interestingly, the VDI was significantly increased in the groups of MS patients without clinical INO, indicating a more severe slowing in adduction [8].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of VDI

• Peptide A8-VDI primed A/J mice to produce high-titered serum-neutralizing antibodies in response to a secondary immunization with intact chlamydial elementary bodies (EBs) [6].
• The air inside the rooms was measured on all four storeys of the building, followed by scanning electron microscopy in compliance with VDI Code 3492 [12].
• Results showed a continuous decrease in leg volumes throughout bedrest, when VDI increased until day 26 of bedrest, and then decreased afterwards [13].
• Seven healthy subjects were submitted to a 42-day head down bedrest, where leg venous compliance (venous distensibility index VDI) and leg volumes were assessed by mercury strain gauge plethysmography with venous occlusion and optoelectronic plethysmography, respectively [13].
