The objectives of reference centres for rare diseases are multiple and mainly concern disease management and coordination between specialties, but they also have to improve knowledge through epidemiological studies and biomedical research. A first database was created by the hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia network to achieve these objectives, but facing a lack of data entered in […]
…Background:Disease registries are an important source of information on the natural history of rare diseases and the response to new therapies in a real-world setting. The value of the information, however, is directly related to the completeness of the data entered for each patient over the course of time. The Fabry Outcome Survey (FOS) is […]
…The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and Office of Rare Diseases at the National Institutes of Health organized a workshop (September 14 to 15, 2006, in Bethesda, Md) to advise on new research directions needed for improved identification and treatment of rare inherited arrhythmias. These included the following: (1) Na+ channelopathies; (2) arrhythmias due […]
…Innovative work behavior is a core demand of healthcare professionals who treat patients with rare diseases. In healthcare services, determinants of innovative work behavior are not completely detected. This paper focuses on how the existence of guidelines and the flexibility of healthcare professionals in taking on extra roles in the workplace enable innovative work behavior.We […]
…The recent advances on genomics and proteomics research bring up a significant grow on the information that is publicly available. However, navigating through genetic and bioinformatics databases can be a too complex and unproductive task for a primary care physician. In this paper we present diseasecard, a web portal for rare disease that provides transparently […]
…High-throughput technologies used to interrogate transcriptomes have been generating a great amount of publicly available gene expression data. For rare diseases that lack of clinical samples and research funding, there is a practical benefit to jointly analyze existing data sets commonly related to a specific rare disease. In this study, we collected a number of […]
…Intractable and rare diseases are an important public health issue and a challenge to medical care. In recent years, much progress has been made in the United States (US), the European Union (EU), and some parts of Asia including Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, involving specific legislation to encourage discovery and development of orphan drugs, […]
…Rare diseases represent conceptually important models offering unique opportunities to dissect pathogenetic mechanisms, due to the fact that specific underlying precipitating factors often can be readily identified Resumen realizado por los autores recogido de la publicación
…Patients’ representatives have an increasingly present voice in all aspects of drug development from fundamental research through regulatory processes to health technology assessment. Although major advances have been made in raising awareness and increasing funding for rare diseases, important challenges remain in terms of best use of resources, coordinating efforts and improving policy. This article […]
