Comparison of the bedside head impulse test with the video head impulse test in a clinical practice setting: a prospective study of 500 outpatients.

Frontiers in Neurology, 2016
Objectives: The primary aim was to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the bedside head impulse test (bHIT) using the video HIT (vHIT) as the gold standard for quantifying the ...

Transforming response values in small area prediction [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
In real applications of small area estimation, one often encounters data with positive response values. The use of a parametric transformation for positive response values in the Fay-Herriot model is proposed for such a case. An asymptotically unbiased small area predictor is derived and a second-order unbiased estimator of the mean squared error is ...

The diagnosis of peri‐implantitis: A systematic review on the predictive value of bleeding on probing

Clinical Oral Implants Research, 2018
OBJECTIVES Bleeding on gentle probing (BOP) is the key parameter to the diagnosis of mucositis, while changes in crestal bone levels, along with clinical signs of inflammation, are required for the diagnosis of peri-implantitis.

Detection rate for ESR1 mutations is higher in circulating‐tumor‐cell‐derived genomic DNA than in paired plasma cell‐free DNA samples as revealed by ddPCR

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.

Robust acute myeloid leukemia engraftment in humanized scaffolds using injectable biomaterials and intravenous xenotransplantation

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Patient‐derived xenografts (PDXs) can be improved by implantation of a humanized niche. We tested different biomaterials and approaches, and demonstrate that the combination of an injectable biomaterial for scaffold creation plus an intravenous route for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) xenotransplantation provide the most convenient and robust approach to

The Value of Suction Drainage Fluid Culture during Aseptic and Septic Orthopedic Surgery: A Prospective Study of 901 Patients [PDF]

, 2017
There are no guidelines on the value of suction drainage fluid culture (SDC), and it is difficult to determine whether the organisms cultured from suction drainage fluid samples are pathogenic or simply contaminants. We performed 2989 cultures of suction
