Multiclass SVM classification is particularly relevant for the classification of microarray gene expression data, with particular importance for disease recognition and classification. 

Beriberi, Thiamine Deficiency. The recognition of vitamins and their importance to the health of human beings came about when Eijkman, a Dutch pathologist, was sent to Java in an attempt to cure an epidemic of beriberi that had appeared in one of the hospitals. Eijkman kept a flock of chickens on the hospital grounds to assist in discovering the disease agent he assumed was involved in the etiology of beriberi. These chickens were fed the scraps from the plates of the hospital patients—primarily poHshed rice, the common food in that part of the world (11). 

Phase II. Initial clinical studies for therapeutic safety and efficacy are performed in volunteer patients who are suffering from the disease for which the dmg has therapeutic promise. Recognition of toxic symptoms and side effects are vital at this point because these may occur here, even when not observed in animal studies or in Phase I.

Glucocorticoids are widely used to treat a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases. With the recognition that airway inflammation is present even in patients with mild asthma, treatment with glucocorticoids is now the mainstay of asthma therapy. Consequently, by far the most common use of glucocorticoids today is in the treatment of asthma and inhaled glucocorticoids have now become established as first-line treatment in adults and children with persistent asthma, the commonest chronic airway inflammatory disease.
