Eventually, two diagnostic algorithms, a simple decision-tree and a complex one were proposed using the most accurate models. Our final simple decision-tree obtained accuracy = 96.2%, sensitivity = 100% and specificity = 95%; while the complex tree yielded accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of...
This study aimed to assess the degree of differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using Gd-EOB-DTPA-assisted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with T1 relaxometry. Thirty-three solitary HCC lesions were included in this retrospective study. This
Discrimination comparison among different analysis methods Previously, several methods were generally used for analyzing interspecies discrimination with DNA barcoding, including phylogenetic trees (NJ, BI, MP, ML and et al.), distance-based (PWG, P-distance, K2P distance, and et al.), and charac...
Methods PET/CT confirmed CS patients and myocarditis patients (both acute and chronic) from a prospective registry were compared with respect to regional native T1, T2, and ECV. Acute and chronic myocarditis were defined based on the 2013 European Society of Cardiology position paper on myocarditis...
In prolonged cultures, the Cardiogenol C-treated HBPCs can also express muscle proteins, cardiac-specific troponin I and sarcomeric myosin heavy chain. However, we did not observe the ability of these cells to functionally contract. Hence, we called these cells cardiomyocyte-like cells rather than...
Methods Patient and setting This was a prospective observational cohort study conducted in a 35-bed ICU in Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (Singapore) between August 2015 and October 2016. The ICU functions as a closed unit where board-certified intensivists and residents provide care for both medi...
Material and methods Study lakes The study was conducted in two water bodies created after aquatic restorations of mining pits, Lakes Milada (2.5 km2, high structural complexity; 50° 39′ N, 13° 58′ E) and Most (3.1 km2, low structural complexity lake; 50° 32′ N, 13° 38′ E),...
In non-growing teeth, such as mouse and human molars, primary odontoblasts are long-lived post-mitotic cells that secrete dentine throughout the life of the tooth. New odontoblast-like cells are only produced in response to a damage or trauma. Little is known about the molecular events that...
A repeated-measures two-way ANOVA, with Bonferroni post hoc tests, was also used to determine any statistically significant differences among non-injured, injured, and transplanted mouse groups. Student's t-test was used to analyze and compare two groups. A p value of <0.05 was considered as...
