Classifications function

External control of the process is achieved by devices that are specially designed, selected and configured for the intended process-control application. The text below covers three very common function classifications of process-control devices controllers, final control elements, and regufators.

Identify signs and symptoms of heart failure and classify a given patient by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Heart Failure Staging. 

There are two common systems for categorizing patients with HF. The New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification (FC) system is based on the patient s activity level and exercise tolerance. It divides patients into one of four classes, with functional class I patients exhibiting no symptoms or limitations of daily activities, and functional class IV patients who are symptomatic at rest (Table 3-5). The NYHA FC system reflects a subjective assessment by a health care provider and can change frequently over short periods of time. Functional class correlates poorly with EF however, EF is one of the strongest predictors of prognosis. In general, anticipated survival declines in conjunction with a decline in functional ability.

The New York Heart Association Functional Classification System is intended primarily to classify symptomatic HF patients according to the physician s subjective evaluation. Functional class (FC)-I patients have no limitation of physical activity, FC-II patients have slight limitation, FC-III patients have marked limitation, and FC-IV patients are unable to carry on physical activity without discomfort.

The biochemistry and pharmacology of 5-HT receptors have been reviewed [74], therapeutic implications presented [75, 76], and functional classification proposed [77], Recently, the neuroanatomy, physiology and pharmacology of 5-HT, receptors have been reviewed [78]. It is evident that major advances have been made since the Gaddum and Picarelli proposal to subdivide 5-HT receptors into D (dibenzyline sensitive) and M (morphine sensitive) types [79]. Subsequently, the D and M receptors have been identified as 5-HT2 and 5-HT, type, respectively.

Excipients are sub-divided into various functional classifications, depending on the role that they are intended to play in the resultant formulation, for example, fillers, disintegrants, binders, lubricants and glidants. An added complexity is the fact that certain excipients can have different functional roles in different formulation types. Thus, lactose is widely used as a filler or diluent in solid oral dosage forms, for example, tablets and capsules [2] and as a carrier for inhalation products [3].

FIGURE 6 A functional classification for DOM. The bioavailability of DOM is a function of its intermediary metabolite content, and the number and type of enzymes needed to generate intermediary metabolites. Turnover time increases as the content of intermediary metabolites declines and the heterogeneity of linkages increases. 

Her research into heart failure has given her some information about what types of variables she should collect. Patients with heart failure show symptoms of decreased exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, increased fatigue, and fluid buildup in the lungs and tissues. Patients with heart failure are also classified clinically by their level of disability so that they may be followed longitudinally and provide a reference point when compared with other patients. This classification system is the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification system and ranges from functional class I (no limitation of physical activity) to functional class IV (unable to carry on physical activity without discomfort) (Criteria Committee, 1973). 

Microarray-based gene expression profiling for gene and pathway discovery, functional classification of genes, and new tumor sub-classifications have also been applied to various other malignancies including lung, bladder and prostate cancer, and cutaneous melanoma (reviewed in Refs. 77 80). 

Proteome refers to protein complement expressed by a genome. Thus proteomics concerns with the analysis of complete complements of proteins. It is the study of proteins that are encoded by the genes of a cell or an organism. Such study includes determination of protein expression, identification and quantification of proteins as well as characterization of protein structures, functions and interactions. The functional classification of proteins in genomes (i.e., proteomes) can be accessed from the Proteome Analysis Database at http //ebi.ac.uk/proteome/ (Apweiler et ah, 2001).
