We read the publication on “Serum tissue factor (TF) as a biomarker for renal clear cell carcinoma”. Silva et al. noted that “TF appears to be a useful serum marker for the presence of clear cell RCC (1)”. Indeed, to conclude that TF is an important biomarker, there should be a complete evaluation on this diagnostic test. Sensitivity and specificity should be studied. Also, some confounding med...

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), sometimes called mesenchymal stem cells, are cultured cells able to give rise to mature mesenchymal cells such as adipocytes, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes, and to secrete a wide range of trophic and immunomodulatory molecules. Evidence indicates that pericytes, cells that surround and maintain physical connections with endothelial cells in blood vessels, can g...

This study provides new records, geographical distribution extensions and a checklist of the current ctenids species in Colombia based on the review of four arachnological collections and published literature. A total of 15 new records for Ctenidae in Colombia are reported; nine of these species are new records for the country and the distribution of the remaining six is expanded. The genus Cen...

A ética é considerada um conjunto de valores e princípios morais que são impostos aceitos por uma população em determinado tempo (SILVA, et al., 2016).

The paper has benefited greatly from comments by an anonymous referee and numerous seminar participants as well as discussions with Abstract We ask how bargainers' incentives to communicate about more efficient widget designs depend on whether they negotiate price prior to, or after, fixing the traded design. We find three effects: (1) Since communication reveals information about preferences, ...

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) can be considered as the clustering of several risk factors such as obesity, hypertension, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia, which could lead to the development of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The criteria for clinical diagnosis of MetS consist of 3 or more of the following: (1) waist circumference >102 cm in men and 88 cm in women; (2) triglycerides...

This paper is aimed at sharpen a weak invariance principle for stationary sequences in Doukhan & Louhichi (1999). Our assumption is both beyond mixing and the causal θ-weak dependence in Dedecker and Doukhan (2003); those authors obtained a sharp result which improves on an optimal one in Doukhan et alii (1995) under strong mixing. We prove this result and we also precise convergence rates unde...

Game theory is devoted to the study of strategic interactions between several rational players. It is concerned by information since players have some uncertainty about their environment and compensate for it by direct observation or by transmission from other players. It is concerned by beliefs since players form expectations about their environment by relying on representations about it as we...
