Breast cancer has the highest incidence among all cancers for women in Taiwan. The current screening policy in Taiwan suggested a biennial mammography for all women 40 to 69 years of age.

Approximately 20% of high-risk patients do not receive additional follow-up. Th...
متن کاملAmblyopic eyes have longer reaction times.
The RT (reaction time) to a 0.25 degree spot of light was measured monocularly on 25 normal subjects and 36 strabismic patients. The overall mean RT and the delta RT (difference in RT between the right and left eyes) for the 19 strabismic patients without amblyopia did not differ significantly from that of the normal subjects. The overall mean RT of the dominant eyes of the 17 amblyopic patient...
متن کاملCan studies where subjects have different follow-up times be analysed through binomial regression?
Penna (2011) asks whether subjects with different follow-up times can be analysed through binomial regression. The answer to this question is “yes”. If the rate for a particular person is λ and they have been observed for a period of time (t), then the probability (p) of having an event during that time is equal to 1-e-λt. The equation can be re-arranged to give log[log(1-p)] = log(λ)+log(t). T...
متن کاملMetabolically healthy obese women have longer telomere length than obese women with metabolic syndrome
INTRODUCTION Obesity is the principal component in the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) that determines the progression of metabolic complications. Metabolically healthy obese (MHO) individuals seem to be protected against those complications. Telomere length (TL) as a novel marker of cellular aging had a complex relationship to the MetS. The principal aim of this study was to investigate the TL in MH...
