Thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (CCL17) as a clinical biomarker in atopic dermatitis: significance and limitations in the new treatment era by Yoko Kataoka

“…Prurigo nodularis is divided into two types associated with elevated and normal TARC levels, which may aid in the selection of therapeutic agents. In this new era, TARC remains a useful biomarker for more accurate drug selection and the determination of therapeutic efficacy; Currently, in clinical trials of AD, all outcome measurements depend on the clinical score; however the use of a biomarker, such as TARC, as a secondary outcome measure will clarify the characteristics of each drug and the pathophysiological conditions for which it is expected to be effective.…”

Information Compression as a Unifying Principle in Human Learning, Perception, and Cognition by J. Gerard Wolff

“…Evidence includes the following: information compression can mean selective advantage for any creature; the storage and utilisation of the relatively enormous quantities of sensory information would be made easier if the redundancy of incoming information was to be reduced; content words in natural languages, with their meanings, may be seen as ICMUP; other techniques for compression of information—such as class-inclusion hierarchies, schema-plus-correction, run-length coding, and part-whole hierarchies—may be seen in psychological phenomena; ICMUP may be seen in how we merge multiple views to make one, in recognition, in binocular vision, in how we can abstract object concepts via motion, in adaptation of sensory units in the eye of Limulus, the horseshoe crab, and in other examples of adaptation; the discovery of the segmental structure of language (words and phrases), grammatical inference, and the correction of over- and undergeneralisations in learning may be understood in terms of ICMUP; information compression may be seen in the perceptual constancies; there is indirect evidence for ICMUP in human cognition via kinds of redundancy such as the decimal expansion of π which are difficult for people to detect; much of the structure and workings of mathematics—an aid to human thinking—may be understood in terms of ICMUP; and there is additional evidence via the SP Theory of Intelligence and its realisation in the SP Computer Model. …”
