Adenosine deaminase (ADA) gene defects are among the most common causes of SCID. Restoration of purine metabolism and immune functions can be achieved by enzyme replacement therapy, or more effectively by bone marrow transplant or HSC gene therapy (HSC-GT). However, autoimmune complications and autoantibody production, including anti-nuclear antibodies (ANAs), frequently occur in ADA-SCID patie...

The importance of ADA (adenosine deaminase) in the immune system and the role of its interaction with an ADA-binding cell membrane protein dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV), identical to the activated immune cell antigen, CD26, has attracted the interest of researchers for many years. To investigate the specific properties in the structure-function relationship of the ADA/DPPIV-CD26 complex, its ...

background :juvenile idiopathic arthritis (jia) is one of the most common chronic rheumatic diseases in children with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. it also has no diagnostic test and its clinical diagnosis is made through ruling out other types of arthritis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the level of ada (adenosine deaminase) in the serum of jia patients and to compare it with that...

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency results in the accumulation of toxic metabolites that destroy the immune system, causing severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID), often referred to as the "bubble boy" disease. Strimvelis is a European Medicines Agency approved gene therapy for ADA-SCID patients without a suitable bone marrow donor.

INTRODUCTION Closed needle pleural biopsy (CNPB) has historically been the gold standard procedure for the diagnosis of pleural tuberculosis. Adenosine deaminase (ADA) is an efficient biomarker for tuberculosis that is measurable in pleural fluids. OBJECTIVE We compared the diagnostic accuracy of the pleural ADA (P-ADA) level and histopathological findings of CNPB specimens in patients with p...

A 43-year-old woman, diagnosed with ulcerative colitis (UC) at age of 30, received outpatient treatment with corticosteroids. However, flare-up occurred, and adalimumab (ADA) treatment commenced in July 2009. A complete remission with mucosal healing was achieved by 32 weeks after initiation of ADA therapy. Because of progressive skin eruptions, ADA maintenance was discontinued at 124 weeks. Re...

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is the most comprehensive federal civil rights law addressing discrimination against one-fifth of the American population. This article is meant to contribute to the emerging dialogue on ADA implementation by presenting information from a longitudinal investigation of employment integration and economic opportunity under the employment provision...

Crohn's disease (CD) is characterized by transmural inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, which predisposes patients to the formation of a fistula. The efficacy of adalimumab (ADA) for an enterocutaneous fistula remains unclear. In this report, we present a case series of 3 patients with enterocutaneous fistulizing CD treated with ADA. ADA treatment achieved sustained complete fistula clo...

Für die Ansteuerung einer Elektronischen Nase wurde eine Echtzeitsteuerung mittels Ada und dem Ravenscar-Profil entwickelt. Ziele waren hierbei der Entwurf und die Umsetzung eines mehrstufigen abstrakten Softwaremodells und eine Abbildung der nebenläufigen Aktivitäten zur Steuerung der Elektronischen Nase. Letzteres wird durch die Verwendung von Ada erreicht, denn das Ada Laufzeitsystem ermögli...
