Echinocandins - first line in invasive candidiasis: how strong is this 'strong' evidence?
[1] published a post hoc analysis of a randomized controlled trial comparing the effi cacy of anidulafungin versus fl uconazole in non-neutropenic critically ill patients with invasive Candida infections (89% had candidemia). But the authors’ claim that their data support the superiority of anidula fungin may be misleading and raises several concerns. First, the primary endpoint of the study wa...
متن کاملGlycemic index and metabolic risks: how strong is the evidence?
An intense debate has been going on for decades about the role of the glycemic index (GI) in relation to type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and body weight management. Considering the increased need for measures to prevent further escalation of these lifestyle-related conditions, the topic remains very relevant but is also still controversial. The GI was introduced >30 y ago a...
متن کاملHow strong is the evidence for accelerated expansion ?
We test the present expansion of the universe using supernova type Ia data without making any assumptions about the matter and energy content of the universe or about the parameterization of the deceleration parameter. We assume the cosmological principle to apply in a strict sense. The result strongly depends on the data set, the light-curve fitting method and the calibration of the absolute m...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Sjögren's Syndrome. How Strong is the Evidence?
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a late-onset chronic autoimmune disease (AID) affecting the exocrine glands, mainly the salivary and lachrymal. Genetic studies on twins with primary SS have not been performed, and only a few case reports describing twins have been published. The prevalence of primary SS in siblings has been estimated to be 0.09% while the reported general prevalence of the disease i...
متن کاملComparing strengths of directional selection: how strong is strong?
The fundamental equation in evolutionary quantitative genetics, the Lande equation, describes the response to directional selection as a product of the additive genetic variance and the selection gradient of trait value on relative fitness. Comparisons of both genetic variances and selection gradients across traits or populations require standardization, as both are scale dependent. The Lande e...
