		A similar disease called hyaline membrane disease also occur in premature infants born before the lungs have matured to the point where they are able to produce adequate amounts of surfactant to prevent lung collapse.

		The classic case of celiac disease, taught in medical schools, is of a child with diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and pain.

		Individual investigators are valuable resources and the infrastructure that supports research, especially rare diseases research, must emphasize the value of their knowledge and expertise that may have been acquired over a lifetime career dedicated to researching a single rare disorder or a group of related rare diseases.
		For many patients with rare diseases, clinical trials serve as treatment options, especially when no other intervention is available, and treatment outcomes may be better during and after their participation in a clinical trial.
		Researchers interested in rare diseases may be more likely to pursue research on pathogenesis and treatment if the development of colonies reflecting various "leaky" and null mutations (heterozygous and homozygous) were subsidized, since these initiatives are very expensive and time consuming.

		SLE is a relapsing and remitting disease, and treatment aims are threefold: managing acute periods of potentially life-threatening ill health, minimizing the risk of flares during periods of relative stability, and controlling the less life-threatening, but often incapacitating day to day symptoms.
		It must be remembered, however, that normal investigations, and lack of evidence of disease activity in another system, do not rule out the diagnosis of NPSLE – in a recent study of MRI in patients with NPSLE, 34% had normal brain scans [12].
		In one cohort [22]), renal lupus accounted for the biggest number of deaths in those with less than 5 years of disease, whereas vascular disease was the most important factor in the group who died later in the disease course.
