Latent variables may be useful in pain’s assessment
BACKGROUND Unobserved "latent" variables have the potential to minimize "measurement error" inherent to any single clinical assessment or categorical diagnosis. OBJECTIVES To demonstrate the potential utility of latent variable constructs in pain's assessment. DESIGN We created two latent variables representing depressive symptom-related pain (Pd) and its residual, "somatic" pain (Ps), from...
متن کاملPHA stimulation may be useful for FDXR gene expression-based biodosimetry
Objective(s): Nowadays, ionizing radiation (IR) has a significant contribution to the diagnostic and therapeutic medicine, and following that, health risks to individuals through unexpected exposure is greatly increased. Therefore, biological and molecular technology for estimation of dose (biodosimetry) is taken into consideration. In biodosimetry methods stimulation ...
متن کاملStoichiometry in protein folding?: deeper insights may be useful.
Understanding the mechanisms of protein folding has remained a mystery since many decades and there have been a number of models or views which have been proposed over the period of time (1-4). As of today, there has been a largely accepted statistical view of protein folding which suggests that a protein starts from an ensemble of unfolded states and folds through thousands of independent micr...
متن کاملSome statistical models and computational methods that may be useful for cognitively-relevant assessment
On leave at Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC), 3939 O’Hara Street, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh PA 15260. I would like to thank a number of people, both for general conversations on cognitively relevant assessment models, and in some cases also for specific and copious comments on an earlier draft of this report. These include Gail Baxter, Pam Beck, Lou DiBello, Al Corbett...
متن کاملInduced contrast asynchronies may be useful for luminance photometry.
Shapiro et al. (2004) introduced a new visual effect (the induced contrast asynchrony) that demonstrates a perceptual separation between the response to a modulated light and the response to contrast of the light relative to background. The effect is composed of two physically identical disks, one surrounded by a dark annulus and the other by a light annulus. The luminance levels of both centra...
