phMRI: methodological considerations for mitigating potential confounding factors
Pharmacological Magnetic Resonance Imaging (phMRI) is a variant of conventional MRI that adds pharmacological manipulations in order to study the effects of drugs, or uses pharmacological probes to investigate basic or applied (e.g., clinical) neuroscience questions. Issues that may confound the interpretation of results from various types of phMRI studies are briefly discussed, and a set of me...
متن کاملMethodological issues of confounding in analytical epidemiologic studies
Background: Confounding can be thought of as mixing the effect of exposure on the risk of disease with a third factor which distorts the measure of association such as risk ratio or odds ratio. This bias arises because of complex functional relationship of confounder with both exposure and disease (outcome). In this article, we provided a conceptual framework review of confounding issues in epi...
متن کاملMethodological problems with population cancer studies: The forgotten confounding factors
Among clinical physicians it is the population study that is considered to be the "gold standard" of medical evidence concerning acceptable treatments. As new information comes to light concerning the many variables and confounding factors that can affect such studies, many older studies lose much of their original impact. While newer population studies take into consideration a far greater num...
متن کاملConfounding experimental considerations in nanogenotoxicology.
The development of novel nanomaterials with unique physico-chemical properties is increasing at a rapid rate, with potential applications across a broad range of manufacturing industries and consumer products. Nanomaterial safety is therefore becoming an increasingly contentious issue that has intensified over the past 4 years, and in response, a steady stream of studies focusing on nanotoxicol...
متن کاملMitigating Confounding Factors in Depression Detection Using an Unsupervised Clustering Approach
This work focuses on using speech as an objective marker for depression detection. One of the major challenges of this task is the presence of confounding factors, such as gender, age, emotion and personality. This work presents a technique to mitigate such factors by using a multi-step approach that performs unsupervised clustering prior to depression classification.
