Does relative or absolute EEG power have prognostic value in HIE setting?

Absolute lymphocyte count with extreme hyperleukocytosis does not have a prognostic impact in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND/ AIM: The prognostic significance of hyperleukocytosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) remains uncertain. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcome of patients with CLL and white blood count (WBC) >150×10(6)/l at the time of diagnosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using the database of the Israeli CLL Study Group, which includes ...

"Absolute" or "added" predictive value?

Does umbilical cord bilirubin level have predictive value in pathologic neonatal hyperbilirubinemia?

Introduction The increase in the use of breast feeding and the decrease in mothers' hospitalization in the past few years have caused  an increase in the infant bilirubin level, so it is necessary to introduce methods which can identify infants with higher risks of hyperbiliru binemia. The aim of this study is to determine the predictive value of measuring the umbilical cord bilirubin for patho...

Absolutely relative or relatively absolute: violations of value invariance in human decision making.

Making decisions based on relative rather than absolute information processing is tied to choice optimality via the accumulation of evidence differences and to canonical neural processing via accumulation of evidence ratios. These theoretical frameworks predict invariance of decision latencies to absolute intensities that maintain differences and ratios, respectively. While information about th...

Does langenskiold staging have a good prognostic value in late onset tibia vara?

BACKGROUND Although many literature studied the effect of many factors on the prognosis of the early-onset Blount disease, studies that were written on the prognostic factors affecting late onset tibia vara are still limited. PURPOSE The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of the Langenskiold classification system for late onset tibia vara. METHODS Twenty children from the...
