Are autoantibody responses in autoimmune ovarian insufficiency and in Addison 's disease IgG1 dominated and suggest a predominant , but not exclusive , Th1 type of response?
The autoantibody responses in POI and AAD are IgG1 dominated, which suggests a predominant Th1 response. Selective IgG4 isotype specificity identified a small subset of patients with Th2-oriented response.
The general assumption that integrated care has a cost-saving potential (per resident or per individual activity) was only partially supported by our research. Our study also raised issues which should be investigated in future research on integrated nursing home care.
