Role of Prophylactic Antibiotics in Uncontaminated Neck Dissections
(1991)
The use of perioperative prophylactic antibiotics in uncontaminated head and neck surgery remains controversial. We performed a retrospective analysis of 192 patients undergoing uncontaminated neck dissections from 1976 ...
Predicting the effects of body fatness on food intake and performance of sheep
(2007)
Adipose tissue produces signals that can have a profound effect on many physiological functions, including energy expenditure and food intake. The hypothesis that variation in food intake of sheep resulting from differences ...
Reproduction is adapted to survival characteristics across geographically isolated medfly populations
(2009)
We propose the hypothesis that individual longitudinal trajectories of fertility are closely coupled to varying survival schedules across geographically isolated populations of the same species, in such a way that peak ...
A genome-wide association study identifies an osteoarthritis susceptibility locus on chromosome 7q22
(2010)
Objective. To identify novel genes involved in osteoarthritis (OA), by means of a genome-wide association study. Methods. We tested 500,510 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 1,341 Dutch Caucasian OA cases and 3,496 ...
Assessing multiple-group diagnostic problems with multi-dimensional receiver operating characteristic surfaces: Application to proton MR Spectroscopy (MRS) in HIV-related neurological injury
(2008)
We present the multi-dimensional Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) surface, a plot of the true classification rates of tests based on levels of biological markers, for multi-group discrimination, as an extension of ...
The Medical Research Council chronic dyspnea score predicts the survival of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2008)
Background: The Medical Research Council (MRC) chronic dyspnea scale (6-point) is used in different clinical conditions to grade breathlessness on daily activities. We have previously shown that in patients with histologically ...
Total hip arthroplasty in patients with high dislocation: A concise follow-up, at a minimum of fifteen years, of previous reports
(2011)
We report the updated results at a minimum of fifteen years after eighty-four consecutive total hip arthroplasties performed in sixty-seven female patients with high dislocation of the hip. Sixty-four arthroplasties were ...
Repeatability and reproducibility of retinal thickness measurements in diabetic patients with spectral domain optical coherence tomography
(2013)
Background: To determine the repeatability and reproducibility of optical coherence tomography (OCT) Spectralis retinal thickness measurements in diabetic patients with clinically significant macular edema (CSME). Methods: ...
