I suspect a calcium score will turn out to have a practice value other than measuring it like the length of a fuse on a time bomb, and having no treatment to stop this progression. If a person has a high score and angina/significant block, then surgical treatment might be more indicated...
Results were stored in a matrix, R. Original scores were expressed as Z distance from the population matrix R. Z distance (or absolute Z-score) is a statistical measure that quantifies the distance between a data point and the mean of a dataset. All formulas used were included in ...
In a predominantly white patient cohort, CAC score > 100 was strongly correlated with ED; however, on multi-variate analysis much of this associated was explained by the older age of the high-risk cohort. Given the small sample size of this preliminary analysis, future efforts are ongoing to...

Biological visual systems have evolved to process natural scenes. A full understanding of visual cortical functions requires a comprehensive characterization of how neuronal populations in each visual area encode natural scenes. Here, we utilized widefie
(measured by the difference of variance explained using a sigmoid fit from that using a linear fit). Non-linearity is low for jGCaMP8 sensors (see Extended Data Table5for more details) but high for GCaMP6 sensors (TG: GCaMP6 transgenic mouse; otherwise, AAV application). The minima ...
Energy, milk, calcium, and dairy fat were each in a separate model that adjusted for age, Tanner stage, race, prior BMI z score, height growth, menarche (girls), activity, and inactivity. Energy-adjusted (EA) estimates included total energy intake in each model. Data were collected in ...
even results in increased intestinal calcium transport. The change in calcium absorption is caused by the increased 1,25(OH)2D levels and compensates for the renal calcium wasting due toTrpv5inactivation.28,29Together, these data suggest that TRPV6, TRPV5 and Calbindin-D9kare redund...
Patients were classi- fied into groups based on fibrosis score; non-fibrotic (n = 12), F1–F2 fibrosis (n = 20) and F3–F4 fibrosis (n = 22) (Table 1). Animal studies. All animals within this study received human care according to the criteria ...
False negative results (TNC calcium score > 0; VNC calcium score = 0) occurred in a total in four patients: four times for VNCConv3, three times for VNCConv4, and once for VNCPC3. However, the respective TNC-based Agatston scores were small in all these cases (once < 10; twice <...
