The Pap test is currently central to the detection of cervical cancer precursors. Conventional smears, whose utilisation started in the early 1950s, have been progressively replaced by liquid-based ...

When evaluating a patient with stable chest pain and no known coronary artery disease (CAD), how does the clinician decide whether to order imaging or other diagnostic tests? One approach involves a ...

The Institute of Mathematical Statistics Lecture Notes–Monograph Series was first published in 1981. The series covers a broad range of topics in probability and statistics. Publisher Information The ...

Technologies of measuring millions of quantities at once have been rapidly developed and used in biological and biomedical research and other fields in the past decade. Yet a key issue remains ...

In 1927, J.B.S. Haldane reasoned that the probability of fixation of new beneficial alleles is twice their fitness effect. This result, later generalized by M. Kimura, has since become the cornerstone ...

Adding clinical risk factors and a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to the conventional diagnostic algorithm for chest pain improves the prediction and discrimination of patients with suspected ...

In a recent study posted to Research Square*, researchers developed and tested a machine learning (ML)-based clinical decision support system (CDSS) to predict antibiotic resistance. Study: Predicting ...

Among patients with suspected obstructive CAD, two simple models that include clinical risk factors both outperform the commonly used pretest probability (PTP) model when it comes to predicting the ...
