Jonsson etal., in a nationwide study defining CKD adhering strictly to Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, found a clearly lower prevalence of CKD (6%). This indicated that to obtain a correct CKD prevalence, one should start by correctly applying the KDIGO guidelines....
Therefore, it is crucial to understand the pathophysiology of the system under investigation and interpret any finding in that context. Any conclusion made should be checked for its physiological relevance. For example, LV and RV stroke volumes (SVs) should be comparable in the absence of shunts ...
The lack of confidence intervals on metrics for success makes meaningful comparisons between tools almost impossible to interpret. The AUC for ROC offers great promise as a metric for virtual screening, as it offers the possibility of predictive value along with robust errors. For an exemplary use...
(Foundation Medicine, Cambridge, MA) (62 genes) used to identify ctDNA in ALEX has now been replaced by Foundation ONE CDx (Foundation Medicine) (324 genes) commercially so any clinical laboratories are unlikely to go back in time to use the 62 gene panel so they can interpret the ALEX ...

At the same time, these insights broaden and advance our ability to accurately interpret the physical, chemical and biological processes that control mineral deposition in a variety of other human diseases, as well as many other natural and engineered environments where biomineralization takes place. ...

LETTERS to the editorMEDICAL sciencesPark and Kim suggest that estimated GFR (eGFR) may overestimate creatinine clearance among patients with relatively poor renal function when it is not corrected for body surface area (BSA).1 The patient described had an eGFR of 30.0ml/min per the four-...
