The results from the assessment is portrayed in the Table 5, with two studies having a low risk of bias (23, 27) and the remaining studies being of moderate bias. All the articles narrowed down their target population by focusing on a specific age group, clinical manifestation, or geographi...
In contrast, among cases with GBS osteomyelitis of a lower extremity, those deemed to have definite osteomyelitis were more likely to proceed to an amputation. This dif- ference may result from selection bias, in that patients who proceeded to amputation were also more likely to have a bone ...
When psychologists think of social comparison theory, they initially recall Leon Festinger’s classic paper on a theory of social comparison processes. However, in the three decades since the publication of this work, social comparison theory has evolved
In Bayesian power prior methods, the similarity of the controls is taken into account by quantifying a parameter for heterogeneity, thereby performing dynamic borrowing [9, 20]. Furthermore, the available Bayesian methods have been compared concerning bias, precision, power and type I error rate [...

A growing number of older adults (ages 65+) live with Type 1 diabetes. Simultaneously, technologies such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) have become standard of care. There is thus a need to understand better the complex dynamics that promote use
On the other hand, readers may not be open to new ideas because of any one of many potential biases or may be too open to observations that seem to go along with their preconceived notions (Confirmation Bias) [11] For example the difference in height of two medical school classes might ...
In the current study, we focused on the cohorts from the phase I clinical study receiving two doses of 50 μg GBS-NN plus aluminum hydroxide (AlOH), a regimen found to induce optimal Ab responses to GBS-NN.10 Our results provide a functional characterization of the Ab response in relatio...
“A relative of someone who was undergoing surgery sent me a message on LinkedIn requesting an MRI and other investigations for the patient. Then I thought, this is just not the way to handle it. Also, I only saw this message a few weeks later, so I ignored it.” –Resident, FG 1 ...
When firing trigger 20 is pushed distally, pusher link 74 is advanced distally against the bias of spring 106. Turning again to FIG. 6, since the distal end of pusher link 74 is connected to pusher back 186, actuation of firing trigger 20 effects advancement of pusher back 186 within ...
