Disease classifications

Delineate the clinical course of follicular indolent and diffuse aggressive non-Hodgkin s lymphoma and the implications for disease classification schemes and treatment goals. 

APACHE II Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II a severity of disease classification system using a point score based on initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status used to provide a general measure of disease severity. 

The assignment of a lesion into one of these types is purely morphological and based on the anatomical location of the tumor or the best estimate of its epicenter for those with advanced disease. Classification can be performed easily based on a combination of contrast radiography, upper endoscopy, and CT (38). In a retrospective analysis of 74 patients with gastric cancer, the preoperative classification had a high correlation (95%) to the final classification based on the resected specimen (39). 

LDL, low-density lipoproteins CHD, coronary heart disease. Classification <130 mg/dL is the desirable LI3L cholesterol level 130-159 mg/dl is borderline-high-risk >160 mg/dl is high-risk.

In vitro diagnostic (IVD) products These are medical devices which analyze human body fluids, such as blood or urine, to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of a disease. Classification for these devices can be found under 21 CER 862, 21 CER 86 , and 21 CER 866. 

The heterogeneity of most of the systemic but also organ-specific autoimmune diseases is an additional important factor that complicates genetic analyses. Careful disease classification is necessary, and differentiation of subgroups according to clinical presentation, autoantibody production, ethnic background, as well as environmental exposures may be helpful. The risk associated with one genetic risk factor for an autoimmune disease may be... 

The success of these classifications is a direct result of the adoption of a descriptive approach to the definition of mental disorders, more or less consciously emulating the scientific basis of disease classification in physical medicine.If mental illnesses are physical diseases, why is there a need to emulate the scientific basis of disease classification in physical medicine The need to emulate isprima facie evidence that mental illnesses are not diseases. Nevertheless, Fulford maintains Once illness and disease are clearly distinguished, however, it becomes possible to compare like with like, mental illness ...

Organizing a system of disease classification based on molecular processes is the central problem. Hierarchies of holons can be built from molecular processes that are related to specific physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. On a foundation of genetics, molecular imaging can examine regional processes within the living human body in health and disease.
