Background Immune-mediated processes leading to childhood type 1 diabetes may begin in fetal life. We hypothesised that a ...

Background Physical examination tests for hip dysfunction and injury of the strongest diagnostic accuracy were identified in a recent systematic review with meta-analysis in BJSM . These tests are ...

The Large Hadron Collider is one of the biggest experiments in history, but it’s also one of the hardest to interpret. Unlike ...

Generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) was widely used in the change detection of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and employed as a competitive method in many studies. GLRT is applied to the ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) has been investigated as promising biometrics, but it cannot be canceled and re-used once compromised just like other biometrics. We propose methods to overcome the issue of ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

We show that the asymptotic distribution of the pivotal statistic used for constructing a Fieller's confidence set remains a standard Chi-squared; and in many instances, the Wald-type test statistic ...

The log-likelihood ratio test further validated the non-linear relationships for all-cause mortality and CLRD mortality (p < 0.05, Table 3). In contrast, the dose–response relationship between LHR and ...

The Fagan's nomogram is widely recognised as a convenient graphical calculator and is frequently referenced in evidence-based medicine and clinically applied epidemiology textbooks. 4 5 To use the ...
