• BACKGROUND: Homocysteine is an essential amino acid, whose clinical utilization includes detection of homocystinuria, vitamin B12 and folate deficiencies and cardiovascular disease management [3].
• Yet new research into how hGH may fit into the future of HIV disease management warrants another look at this unusual drug [4].
• The HCA National Disease Management Program for coronary disease detection and treatment in women [5].

Psychiatry related information on Disease Management

• OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and impact on clinical response and function associated with the use of an algorithm-driven disease management program (ALGO) for children and adolescents treated for depression with or without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in community mental health centers [6].
• OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of a community pharmacist pilot disease-management program on patient compliance with lipid-lowering drug therapy and on serum cholesterol levels [7].

High impact information on Disease Management

• Diabetic nephropathy: hemodynamic basis and implications for disease management [8].
• Several attempts to formulate a consensus about classification and treatment of thyroid carcinoma based on standard histopathological analysis have resulted in published guidelines for diagnosis and initial disease management (Sherman SI. Lancet 2003;361:501-11) [9].
• In sum, tamoxifen induces enzyme expression in rats at a dose comparable, on a mg/kg basis, to the dose women receive for disease management, suggesting these results may be significant for human exposure [10].
• OBJECTIVE: To perform a systematic review of the published literature on disease management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to use meta-analysis to estimate the magnitude of benefit these programs have on functional status in patients with RA [11].
• Multiple sclerosis: modelling the future. The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Great Britain and Northern Ireland Conference: Frontiers in Science and Patient Care Disease Management [12].

Biological context of Disease Management

• CONCLUSIONS: The GeneChip TP53-sequencing assay may be feasible for routine molecular genetic diagnostics in determining the TP53 status of childhood-tumor patients and in enabling a disease management based on the genetic background of the individual [13].
• Advances into nonadrenergic-noncholinergic novel signal transduction, specifically phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors, offer new opportunities for developing evidence-based treatments for this side effect and improving depression disease management outcomes [14].

Anatomical context of Disease Management

• OBJECTIVE: To review the benefits of statins in coronary artery disease management beyond their cholesterol-lowering effects [15].

Associations of Disease Management with chemical compounds

• Reaching National Cholesterol Education Program Goals: a managed care approach to improving hyperlipidemia disease management outcomes. Introduction [16].
• BACKGROUND: To improve asthma disease management, the National Asthma Education Program (NAEP) Expert Panel published Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Asthma in 1991 [17].
• This body of work advanced our molecular understanding of the critical role of steroid hormones in normal and abnormal physiology and also generated a base of scientific knowledge that served to further modern hormonal therapy and disease management [18].
• Our BCL basal/luminal signature correctly re-classified the published series of tumour samples that originally served to identify the molecular subtypes, suggesting that the identified markers should be useful for tumour classification and might represent promising targets for disease management [19].
• RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 159 African-American patients with type 2 diabetes were assessed on three domains of family life (structure/organization, world view, and emotion management) and three key dimensions of disease management (morale, management behaviors, and glucose regulation) [20].

Gene context of Disease Management

• Serum levels of cartilage oligomeric matrix protein. A predicting factor and a valuable parameter for disease management in rheumatoid arthritis [21].
• METHOD: Fifty child and adolescent patients at Texas community mental health centers who met criteria for ADHD were treated according to an algorithm-based disease management program for ADHD [22].
• We performed a decision analysis to estimate the potential costs and effectiveness of TPMT screening and MM as disease management strategies for CD [1].
• Those interested in the economic benefits of new COPD treatments and disease management programs need to carefully account for these factors [23].
• The MCOP database is an important resource for developing information required to design systems-based disease management programmes [24].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Disease Management

• CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that semiquantitative RT-PCR analysis of MMPs may be helpful in disease management of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma [25].
