Surrogate outcomes: a cautionary note.
See related article, pages 1353–1358. Drug development for acute stroke treatments is complex, very expensive, very time-consuming, and frequently disappointing. Surrogate outcome theory states that new therapies for stroke could be evaluated with smaller sample sizes than are required when traditional functional outcome measures are used by using surrogate outcomes in clinical trials. This wou...
متن کاملTamper Resistance — a Cautionary Note
An increasing number of systems, from pay-TV to electronic purses, rely on the tamper resistance of smartcards and other security processors. We describe a number of attacks on such systems — some old, some new and some that are simply little known outside the chip testing community. We conclude that trusting tamper resistance is problematic; smartcards are broken routinely, and even a device t...
متن کاملPsychogenic syncope? A cautionary note.
INTRODUCTION In some patients with recurrent syncope, the etiology may remain unclear despite extensive evaluation. These patients may sometimes be labeled as having a "psychogenic" cause for their syncope. METHODS We report on three patients with recurrent unexplained syncope (despite extensive evaluation) who were labeled as having a psychogenic cause for their events. In each patient follo...
متن کاملMeasurement of infant tongue thickness using ultrasound: a technical note.
Novel uses of ultrasound include obtaining images of intra-oral structures to further research in speech production and feeding. In this technical note we describe a noninvasive, cost-effective, and reliable method for measuring infant tongue muscle thickness. The current pilot study demonstrates high reliability of a trained ultrasonographer to obtain adequate images of the infant tongue and t...
متن کاملDECOMPOSITION OF DIFFERENCES A Cautionary Note HOWARD
ARLAND THORNTON University of Michigan This paper examines methods of decomposing a difference in levels between groups for a dependent variable such as income. Applied to regression equations, this technique estimates the contribution to the difference from divergent characteristics and divergent rates of converting characteristics into the dependent variable. The consequences of an "interacti...
