Measures of Asthma Status: Need for Standardized

Measures of Asthma Status: Need for Standardized Methodologies for Management: Although asthma is a recognized global public health problem, there are as of yet no standardized asthma-specific measures that can be applied globally, which has led to increased number of disease status measures and, hence, difficulties in drawing conclusions on the measurements' reliability. As a fairly common disease with various causes and different symptomatology, it is expected that the need for standardized methodologies for asthma disease management will continue to grow. As a result, researchers have intensified their efforts to develop unified guidelines that can benefit different groups of patients. The main objective of this paper was to explore current measures of asthma status and the lack of consensus among researchers regarding asthma practices. The paper briefly summarizes the article entitled 'Agreement Among Measures of Asthma Status: A Prospective Study of Low-Income Children with Moderate to Severe Asthma,' which was published by Sharek et al. (), who examined the validity of parent-reported symptoms, health care utilization, functional health status, asthma diaries, and pulmonary function tests by means of correlation analyses. The present paper discusses in details the research questions that apparently had guided the validation study, namely 'Which measures of asthma status are significantly correlated to asthma status (over time) of US children aged 5-12 with moderate to severe asthma ' It then presents a literature review, followed by a discussion about the significance of the study and the controversy that continues to surround the topic. The methodology used by Sharek et al. is then discussed and synthesized, and the results are reviewed. The final section of the paper offers the conclusions, implications and areas for future research.

Who Manual for the Standardized Investigation and Diagnosis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rowe, Patrick J. / Comhaire, F. H. / Hargreave, T. B., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This concise volume proposes a standardized approach to the investigation of infertility. The volume provides clear guidelines and a logical sequence of steps which will quickly lead the clinician or physician to an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of infertility. This standardized approach to the management of infertility will lead to more, efficient, systematic and economic care for the infertile couple. The diagnostic charts, which may be photocopied, provide an unambiguous route to diagnosis of the underlying cause of infertility, whilst the text fully explains and describes the essential clinical tests. The volume summarises the results gained from the study of more than infertile couples, who were investigated as part of the WHO's programme to counter the widespread personal distress caused by infertility. It is hoped that the standardized approach presented here will go some way towards countering this major problem.

Finitely Additive Measures and Relaxations of Extremal

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chentsov, A. G., PUBLISHER: Springer, This monograph constructs correct extensions of extremal problems, including problems of multicriteria optimization as well as more general cone optimization problems. The author obtains common conditions of stability and asymptotic nonsensitivity of extremal problems under perturbation of a part of integral restrictions for finite and infinite systems of restrictions. Features include individual chapters on nonstandard approximation of finitely additive measures by indefinite integrals and constructions of attraction sets. Professor Chentsov illustrates abstract settings by providing examples of problems of impulse control, mathematical programming, and stochastic optimization. Buy Now
