Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy: a multicenter investigation to determine optimal infusion methodology and gallbladder ejection fraction normal values.
UNLABELLED Sincalide-stimulated cholescintigraphy is performed to quantify gallbladder contraction and emptying. However, different infusion methods are used for this study. Our purpose was to determine the infusion method with the least variability (smallest coefficient of variation [CV]) for calculation of the gallbladder ejection fraction (GBEF) in healthy subjects and to establish normal va...

متن کامل“ What is SP ? ” : a Reply
My interest in information compression as an explanatory principle in information processing was sparked originally by lectures given by Horace Barlow in Cambridge University describing phenomena in the workings of brains and nervous systems which could be understood in terms of economical coding of information (see, for example, Barlow, 1969; Barlow and Földiák, 1989). Later, an accumulation o...

THE POOR QUALITY of reagent chemicals in the United States by 1916 led to the statement by Hillebrand (1) that “the situation is particularly deplorable just now.” In 1919, to overcome the handicap of poor reagent chemicals, representatives of iiidustry, together with representatives of reagent users, undertook jointly under the sponsorship of the American Chemical Society, the task of establis...
متن کاملP-value: What is and what is not
The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.
