The use, misuse and abuse of dabigatran.
The tale of dabigatran sounds some cautionary notes about proper critical appraisal of new randomised controlled trials,care in deciding on the generalisability of results, judicious screening of patients and lessons about the politics around increasingly lucrative drugs. The old lesson of caveat utilitor still holds: let the user beware!
متن کاملComparison of apparent diffusion coefficients and distributed diffusion coefficients in high-grade gliomas.
PURPOSE To compare apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs) with distributed diffusion coefficients (DDCs) in high-grade gliomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with high-grade gliomas prospectively underwent diffusion-weighted MRI. Traditional ADC maps were created using b-values of 0 and 1000 s/mm(2). In addition, DDC maps were created by applying the stretched-exponential model using ...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Use, Misuse and Abuse of Safety Integrity Levels1
Modern standards on system safety employ the concept of safety integrity levels (SILs). Increasing numbers of system purchasers are expecting their suppliers to demonstrate that they use the concept, so system developers are seeking to apply it. But the standards differ in their derivation of SILs and none explains the concept satisfactorily, with the result that it is often misunderstood and u...
متن کاملUse, abuse and misuse of biomarkers in paediatrics.
Currently, a gold standard for distinguishing between infectious, inflammatory, auto-immune diseases and malignancy in infants and children is not available. The combination of biomarkers with clinical features and other diagnostic tests could help clinicians in the diagnostic process. Ideally, a biomarker should have high sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value, as well as being easily ...
متن کاملApparent diffusion coefficients for differentiation of cerebellar tumors in children.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) maps provide information at MR imaging that may reflect cell attenuation and integrity. We hypothesized that cerebellar tumors in children can be differentiated by their ADC values. METHODS Brain MR imaging studies that included ADC maps were retrospectively reviewed in 32 patients with histologic...
