Because there is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis(RA), the goal of treatment is to put the disease into remission. A category of drugs with some ability to do this is the disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs(DMARDs). To be designated a DMARD, a drug must change the course of RA for at least 1 year as evidenced by one of the following : sustained improvement in physical function, decreased inflammatory synovitis, slowing or prevention of structural joint damage. 3, record 3, English, - disease%2Dmodifying%20antirheumatic%20drug

The Children's Oral Health Initiative(COHI) was developed as a means to address the disparity between the oral health of First Nations and Inuit and that of the general Canadian population. COHI was launched on a test basis in Fall 2004. COHI focuses on the prevention of dental disease and promotion of good oral health practices. The goal of COHI is to shift the emphasis from a primarily treatment based approach to a more balanced prevention and treatment focus. The initial focus for oral health promotion will be directed at three target groups : pregnant women and primary caregivers; pre-school children, 0-4 years of age; and school children, 5-7 years of age. Health Canada expects that the COHI, once fully implemented in subsequent years, will result in significant improvement of the oral health in First Nations and Inuit. 1, record 8, English, - Children%26rsquo%3Bs%20Oral%20Health%20Initiative

L'ISBE, se concentre sur un programme plus équilibré de prévention et de traitement préventif plutôt que sur le traitement primaire même. La promotion de la santé buccodentaire s'adressera initialement aux trois groupes cibles suivants : les femmes enceintes et les principaux pourvoyeurs de soins; les enfants en âge préscolaire de 0 à 4 ans; les enfants en âge scolaire de 5 à 7 ans.

Le Forum conjoint a été fondé en 1999 par le Conseil canadien des responsables de la réglementation d'assurance (CCRRA), par les Autorités canadiennes en valeurs mobilières (ACVM) et l'Association canadienne des organismes de contrôle des régimes de retraite (ACOR). Il comprend aussi une représentation des Organisations d'encadrement des services d'assurance du Canada (OESAC). Le Forum conjoint a été établi comme un mécanisme par l'intermédiaire duquel les organismes de réglementation des régimes de retraite, des valeurs mobilières et de l'assurance pourraient coordonner, harmoniser et simplifier la réglementation des produits et services financiers au Canada. Notre but est d'améliorer de façon continue le système de réglementation des services financiers par l'entremise d'une plus grande harmonisation et d'une meilleure coordination des approches en matière de réglementation. 1, record 14, French, - Forum%20conjoint%20des%20autorit%C3%A9s%20de%20r%C3%A9glementation%20du%20march%C3%A9%20financier

The foundation for the experimentation process is a database of assertions which O’Shea calls a "theory of instruction" for the domain. Each assertion in the database indicates the expected results of a specific experimental modification performed on the production rules. Results are expressed in terms of possible or definite effects on teaching performance with respect to one goal. For instance, an assertion could say that spending more resources on selecting appropriate problems might improve the performance of students on the post-test. Thus these assertions represent a corpus of possibly useful experiments. After choosing one of the four goals, the system selects all the assertions that propose modifications leading to a possible improvement with respect to that goal; then it executes the changes these assertions suggest. Statistical tests evaluate the variations in performance caused by the modifications, with respect to each of the four goals. The overall improvement of the system is then computed as a linear function of the goals’ respective variations. If a significant improvement is achieved, the modifications are adopted. In addition, as a form of learning involving some serendipity, new assertions are added to the original database to record the effects of the experiment on the different goals. In this way, not only does the system improve, but its ability to set up experiments is also extended. Obviously, it must have had a minimal number of assertions to start with. Figure 6. 6. gives an overview of the flow of information through the self-improving component. 1, record 17, English, - theory%20of%20instruction
