Despite its central place in the theory of probabilistic inference, Bayes' rule has been largely displaced in the practice of quantitative medical reasoning (and indeed in the biological and social sciences generally) by a statistical procedure known as 'significance testing'. While significance testing...
The report identified, among a number of factors, the importance of: (1) early consideration of manufacturing needs, (2) flexible production facilities; (3) reducing cost to the UK National Health Services [NHS] and (4) the delivery of better services and improved health outcomes to patients...
Sixty microliters of freshly prepared 10 mM EZ-Link NHS-SS-Biotin (Pierce 21441; Rockford, IL, USA) dissolved in dimethylformamide was added to the recovered lysate and incubated on a Nutator for 2 h at 4°C; 50 µl of 5 M NaCl was added to increase the total salt concentration to...
Since almost all reactions in vitro need to be multistep ones, a number of separate tubes (or their collective form termed as microplate) have been traditionally used with an aid of robotics, resulting in a massive system [21–23]. Currently, the number of wells per micro-plate has ...
some form of airway clearance therapy should be performed in all patients on a routine basis; 2. no single method of airway clearance therapy has been proven superior to any other, but this does not mean they are equivalent in all patients; ...
Since the 1980‘s the field of research synthesis has grown exponentially. As the number of primary research papers increases, so does the need for secondary research that consolidates and summarises their findings. Systematic reviews are a form of research synthesis that use systematic methods to...
The main finding of this survey is that multi-factorial assessment and intervention is the most common form of NHS falls service. Services have been established, but there is now a substantial concern that significant numbers of services are failing to attain the standards set for multi-factorial...
The 12-item Short-Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2), a widely used, generic patient-reported measure of health status that provides summary scores of physical and mental health. No study to date has examined the measurement properties of the SF-12v2 in patients with lung cancer using ...
Briefly, human FABP4 (10 µg/ml) was immobilized on CM5 sensor chip of BIAcore 8 K using maleimide EDC/NHS coupling. A stable cell pool of 12G2 V9 antibody (s-V9) was produced using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells (ProteoGenix, France). Antibody (s-V9) at a defined ...
