Code sensitivity was determined by identifying a cohort of men with histologically confirmed prostate cancer in the Ontario Cancer Registry and linking them to the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) ...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the ability of simple definitions of BMI to successfully screen for children with high body fatness. DESIGN: We determined the sensitivity and specificity of the body mass index ...

The Center for Nuclear Receptors and Cell Signaling at the University of Houston has developed a new way to detect very rare and highly heterogeneous circulating tumor cells with high specificity and ...

We will calculate the sensitivity, specificity and likelihood ratio if all tests positive, one test is positive, at least one test is positive and so on. Additionally we will assess whether particular ...

A blood test based on whole-genome sequencing achieved 99% sensitivity and specificity for detecting HPV-positive head and neck cancer. Early postoperative detection of circulating tumor DNA predicted ...

Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a molecular technique that has reshaped the landscape of biological research and medicine due to its high sensitivity and specificity. qPCR, also known ...

Princeton University and collaborators have developed SHINE-TB, a one-sample, parallelized reaction amplification and detection CRISPR assay that detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis directly from ...

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the novel coronavirus named severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), has caused a global pandemic of unprecedented proportions, ...

We have developed a statistical method named IsoDOT to assess differential isoform expression (DIE) and differential isoform usage (DIU) using RNA-seq data. Here isoform usage refers to relative ...

Objective: To compile and critique research on the diagnostic accuracy of individual orthopaedic physical examination tests in a manner that would allow clinicians to judge whether these tests are ...

Dogs trained to detect Parkinson’s disease using scent have shown remarkable accuracy in new research. In a double-blind trial, they identified skin swabs from people with Parkinson’s with up to 80% ...
