Next‐generation proteomics improves lung cancer risk prediction
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.This is one of very few studies that used prediagnostic blood samples from participants of two large population‐based cohorts. We identified, evaluated, and validated an innovative protein marker model that outperformed an established risk prediction model and criteria employed by low‐dose computed tomography in lung cancer screening trials.

South African medical journal = Suid-Afrikaanse tydskrif vir geneeskunde, 1974 The chemical composition of 256 urinary calculi on the Witwatersrand has been determined in 3 population groups. 'Calcium stones' comprised 53,1% of the total and most of the remainder were triple phosphate. The distribution of these stones in the different population groups was similar. Urinary calculi are rare in the Bantu.S. Afr. Med.
