Aspiration Dynamics of Multi-player Games in Finite Populations [PDF]

, 2014
Studying strategy update rules in the framework of evolutionary game theory, one can differentiate between imitation processes and aspiration-driven dynamics. In the former case, individuals imitate the strategy of a more successful peer. In the latter case, individuals adjust their strategies based on a comparison of their payoffs from the ...

Time to pathologic diagnosis of suspicious breast lesions: An institution‐based study in five Ethiopian hospitals

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? The World Health Organization's Global Breast Cancer Initiative set the benchmark to diagnose breast cancer within 2 months of the first contact with a health care provider. This study analyzed the diagnostic journey of women with breast symptoms at five Ethiopian hospitals. Of the 345 women interviewed who received a diagnostic workup of a

A Killian‐Jamieson diverticulum potentially mimicking a thyroid nodule: A case report highlighting the cytology of a pharyngoesophageal diverticulum

Cytopathology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 72-76, January 2023., 2023
The authors highlight the important contribution of rapid on‐site evaluation by the cytopathologist of a pharyngoesophageal diverticulum in a mass initially interpreted clinically as thyroidal in origin. They discuss pitfalls in avoiding interpretive diagnostic error and inappropriate thyroid Bethesda reporting.

Patient‐derived tumor organoids highlight the potential of precision medicine in managing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Only about one‐fifth of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) qualify for curative treatment approaches employing adjuvant chemotherapy. Tools to predict PDAC response to chemotherapeutic regimens, however, are lacking.

Detection of BRAF mutation on fine needle aspiration biopsy specimens: a new diagnostic tool for papillary thyroid cancer.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2004
Numerous biomolecular markers have been studied to improve the accuracy of fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in the diagnostic and prognostic evaluation of thyroid tumors, but none of them has yet become clinically useful. The recently discovered BRAF
