Bayesian perspective over time
Thomas Bayes, the founder of Bayesian vision, entered the University of Edinburgh in 1719 to study logic and theology. Returning in 1722, he worked with his father in a small church. He also was a mathematician and in 1740 he made a novel discovery which he never published, but his friend Richard Price found it in his notes after his death in 1761, reedited it and published it. But until L...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of the post-captopril test in primary aldosteronism.
Primary aldosteronism is a disorder with hypertension, hypokalemia, increased plasma aldosterone, and suppressed renin activity. A random plasma aldosterone/renin activity (PA/PRA) >65 (conventional units ratio [CUR] >30) has been proposed as a screening test. We have retrospectively determined the value of the post-captopril plasma aldosterone/renin activity (CAPT PA/PRA) test for the diagnosi...
متن کاملClinical evaluation of the captopril screening test for primary aldosteronism.
In order to investigate the validity of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibition with captopril as a screening test for primary aldosteronism (PA), 50 mg of captopril were administered orally to 7 patients with PA, 17 with essential hypertension (EH), 5 with renovascular hypertension (RVH), 2 with renoparenchymal hypertension (RH) and 8 normal volunteers. The plasma aldosterone concentration (P...
متن کاملThe captopril test: an aid to investigation of hypertension.
Twenty three children aged from 5 to 16 with mild to moderate hypertension were investigated using the orally active angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor captopril. Falls in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after a single dose of captopril were significantly correlated with initial plasma renin activity. In addition, some information about the aetiology of hypertension was deduced ...
متن کاملRenal scintigraphic captopril test in the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension.
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor-induced renal failure has been reported in bilateral renal artery stenosis and in stenosis in solitary kidneys, but not in unilateral renal artery stenosis. In these patients, however, a functional impairment of the kidney ipsilateral to the stenosis can often be detected after ACE inhibition by scintigraphic techniques employing glomerular radionuc...
