Concerns have been raised that patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still infectious with a re-positive nucleic acid test of the pharyngeal swab after hospital discharge. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical relevance of induced sputum as an additional indicator for the current clinical discharge criteria of…[Read more]

The identifiability of this effect is resolved in various scenarios with different assumptions on confounding. There are scenarios where the causal effect is identifiable from a chain of experiments but not from survey data, as well as scenarios where the opposite is true. As an illustration, we use survey data from the National Health and…[Read more]

The link of the complement system to angiogenesis has remained circumstantial and speculative for several years. Perhaps the most clinically relevant example of possible involvement of complement in pathological neovascularization is age-related macular degeneration. Recent studies, however, provide more direct and experimental evidence that…[Read more]

mation, and complement systems and suggest a protective role of anti-CD14 treatment in E coli sepsis.This article presents a participative and iterative qualitative risk assessment framework that can be used to evaluate the spatial variation of the risk of infectious animal disease introduction and spread on a national scale. The framework was…[Read more]

Few studies have described the treatment or outcome of depression in specialized mood disorders units (MDUs). Previous studies have focused on cohorts of patients with highly treatment-resistant illness who are likely to have a poor prognosis even with intensive treatment. This study describes the treatment and medium-term outcomes of a cohort of…[Read more]

The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the preoperative body mass index (BMI) on the postoperative outcomes in patients with completely resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The data of patients with NSCLC in whom R0 resection was achieved were extracted from the database of NSCLC samples accumulated by the Japanese…[Read more]

The challenge of small data has emerged in synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition (SAR-ATR) problems. selleck products Most SAR-ATR methods are data-driven and require a lot of training data that are expensive to collect. To address this challenge, we propose a recognition model that incorporates meta-learning and amortized…[Read more]
