Since the introduction of video‐imaging and endoscopic surgical interventions, there is a worldwide renewed interest in thoracoscopy. However, thoracoscopy for diagnosis of pleural and pulmonary disease has been performed for more than 30 years. An overview is presented here of the results and experiences in the past 3 decades of thoracoscopy for ...

The incidental detection of small renal masses on imaging undertaken to evaluate unrelated symptoms or conditions is an increasingly common occurrence. Accurate imaging characterisation is fundamental to determining optimum patient management. The goals of imaging small renal masses include determining whether a lesion is solid or cystic, if there are ...

Discriminant Diagnostics [PDF]
I discuss diagnostic methods for discriminant analysis. The equivalence with linear regression is noted and regression diagnostics are considered. The leverage is a function of the linear discriminant function and the Mahalanobis distance of the observation from the group mean.
