Commentary: An OPEN assessment of dietary measurement errors.
epidemiological studies of chronic disease risk in relation to diet, a crucial question is whether assessments of dietary intake can accurately characterize an individual's habitual intake of foods and nutrients. Over the last two decades, this question has been addressed in numerous validation studies. The OPEN study 1 provides the best answer yet. It is a true landmark study both because of i...
متن کاملDesigning, validation, and reliability assessment of software to acquire kinematics parameters of motion by image processing
Motion analysis systems are useful and effective equipment in biomechanics research. Unfortunately these systems are available for few researchers because these are expensive equipment. The aim of this study was to design and validation of a practical and inexpensive software, to determine the exact markers position in space and compute the kinematic of movement. In designing the software, the ...
متن کاملUses and limitations of statistical accounting for random error correlations, in the validation of dietary questionnaire assessments.
OBJECTIVE To examine statistical models that account for correlation between random errors of different dietary assessment methods, in dietary validation studies. SETTING In nutritional epidemiology, sub-studies on the accuracy of the dietary questionnaire measurements are used to correct for biases in relative risk estimates induced by dietary assessment errors. Generally, such validation st...
متن کاملEvidence-based laboratory medicine in oncology drug development: from biomarkers to diagnostics.
BACKGROUND The promise of targeted therapies in molecularly defined subsets of cancer has led to a transformation of the process of drug development in oncology. To target cancer successfully and precisely requires high-quality translational data. Such data can be generated by the use of biomarkers that answer key questions in drug development. CONTENT Translational data for aiding in decisio...
متن کاملValidation of biological markers for quantitative risk assessment.
The evaluation of biological markers is recognized as necessary to the future of toxicology, epidemiology, and quantitative risk assessment. For biological markers to become widely accepted, their validity must be ascertained. This paper explores the range of considerations that compose the concept of validity as it applies to the evaluation of biological markers. Three broad categories of vali...
