Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation measurements
Here, we derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwa...
The Influence of Hospital Volume on Survival after Resection for Lung Cancer
Patients who undergo resection for lung cancer at hospitals that perform large numbers of such procedures are likely to survive longer than patients who have such surgery at hos...
Prediction of Mortality and Morbidity With a 6-Minute Walk Test in Patients With Left Ventricular Dysfunction
<h3>Objective.</h3> —To study the potential usefulness of the 6-minute walk test, a self-paced submaximal exercise test, as a prognostic indicator in patients with left ventricu...
Estrogen receptor status in breast cancer is associated with remarkably distinct gene expression patterns.
To investigate the phenotype associated with estrogen receptor alpha (ER) expression in breast carcinoma, gene expression profiles of 58 node-negative breast carcinomas discorda...
Simplified Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System
Objectives To validate a simplified version of the Therapeutic Intervention Scoring System, the TISS-28, and to determine the association of TISS-28 with the time spent on score...
LAMARC 2.0: maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation of population parameters
Abstract Summary: We present a Markov chain Monte Carlo coalescent genealogy sampler, LAMARC 2.0, which estimates population genetic parameters from genetic data. LAMARC can co-...
Maternal Attachment
Abstract To determine whether present hospital practices may affect later maternal behavior, we placed 28 primiparous women in two study groups shortly after delivery of normal ...
Functional anatomy of human procedural learning determined with regional cerebral blood flow and PET
The functional anatomy of motor skill acquisition was investigated in six normal human subjects who learned to perform a pursuit rotor task with their dominant right hand during...
