Ratios of consecutive values of the divisor function [PDF]
We show that the sequence of ratios $d(n+1) / d(n)$ of consecutive values of the divisor function attains every positive rational infinitely many times. This confirms a prediction of Erd\H{o}s.

AbstractBackgroundThe role of CD200 in the differential diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and classical mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is well established. Its role in the differential diagnosis of CLL and other lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) is less clear, in particular its positive predictive value (PPV).Materials and methodsWe ...

Targeted metabolomics reveals novel diagnostic biomarkers for colorectal cancer
This study employed targeted metabolomic profiling to identify 302 distinct metabolites present in platelet‐rich plasma (PRP), revealing aberrant metabolic profiles amongst individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC). Compared to carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and cancer antigen 19‐9 (CA199), our metabolite panel showed improved sensitivity ...

KMT2A degradation is observed in decitabine‐responsive acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells
We demonstrate that decitabine (DEC) not only degrades the DNA methyltransferase DNMT1 but also the leukemic driver lysine methyltransferase KMT2A likely due to structural similarity of the DNA‐binding CXXC domains. DEC influences KMT2A downstream processes and synergizes with menin inhibitor revumenib (REV) to decrease leukemic cell proliferation, and

Comparison of predictive values with paired samples [PDF]
Positive predictive value and negative predictive value are two widely used parameters to assess the clinical usefulness of a medical diagnostic test. When there are two diagnostic tests, it is recommendable to make a comparative assessment of the values of these two parameters after applying the two tests to the same subjects (paired samples).

Malaria: how useful are clinical criteria for improving the diagnosis in a highly endemic area? [PDF]
To assess the validity of clinical criteria, we investigated 2096 outpatients diagnosed as malaria cases by nurses at a rural health subcentre in a highly endemic area of Papua New Guinea. 73% of the children < 10 years old had a positive blood slide for
