eGFR: Readjusting its rating.
G FR is the accepted metric for evaluating renal function but measuring it directly (mGFR) can be cumbersome, time-consuming, and costly. The constant infusion method using inulin as the filtration marker, introduced in 1934 by Richards and Smith (1), has undergone many revisions that have now made mGFR easier to perform, although not widely available (2,3). A simple, reliable, unbiased, precis...
متن کاملRelieving and Readjusting Pythagoras
Bill James invented the Pythagorean expectation in the late 70’s to predict a baseball team’s winning percentage knowing just their runs scored and allowed. His original formula estimates a winning percentage of RS/(RS+RA), where RS stands for runs scored and RA for runs allowed; later versions found better agreement with data by replacing the exponent 2 with numbers near 1.83. Miller and his c...
متن کاملPrognosis and Survival Study in Patients with Glioblastoma Multiform and Its Relationship with EGFR Expression
Background and Aim: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most common malignant and invasive tumor of the brain. The relation between prognosis and survival of GBM patients with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) expression is challenging. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the prognosis and survival of patients with GBM and its relationship with EGFR expression. Materials and Methods: This single...
متن کاملInsulin activates EGFR by stimulating its interaction with IGF-1R in low-EGFR-expressing TNBC cells
The expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is an important diagnostic marker for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cells, which lack three hormonal receptors: estrogen and progesterone receptors as well as epidermal growth factor receptor 2. EGFR transactivation can cause drug resistance in many cancers including TNBC, but the mechanism underlying this phenomenon is poorly def...
متن کاملA Network-Based Rating System and Its Resistance to Bribery
We study a rating system in which a set of individuals (e.g., the customers of a restaurant) evaluate a given service (e.g, the restaurant), with their aggregated opinion determining the probability of all individuals to use the service and thus its generated revenue. We explicitly model the influence relation by a social network, with individuals being influenced by the evaluation of their tru...
