No clear bacterial culprit for NEC

Primary Clear Cell Carcinoma with no Diethylstilbestrol Exposure; Case Series

One of the rare neoplasms of cervix uteri and vagina is clear cell carcinoma; mostly in patients with a positive past medical history of intrauterine diethylstilbestrol (DES) exposure which reveals the importance of other unknown risk factors of gynecologic neoplasms. 2 Asian women referred to the gynecology-oncology department. The first one came with a complaint of prolonged vaginal discharge...

NEC for Gene Expression Analysis

Aim of this work is to apply a novel comprehensive machine learning tool for data mining to preprocessing and interpretation of gene expression data. Furthermore, some visualization facilities are provided. The data mining framework consists of two main parts: preprocessing and clustering-agglomerating phases. To the first phase belong a noise filtering procedure and a non-linear PCA Neural Net...

Traditional medicines--no clear or present danger.

Teaching central line placement: no clear window

We appreciate Maizel and colleagues addressing the teaching of ultrasound-guided central line placement to medical residents [1]; however, we have several comments. We feel that the success rates reported in this study are artificially high since most residents in 2014 are training with the use of ultrasound, and it is highly unlikely that the initial procedures being done by these senior resid...

Replicated maxent model for NEC

The following picture shows the test omission rate and predicted area as a function of the cumulative threshold, averaged over the replicate runs. The omission rate should be close to the predicted omission, because of the definition of the cumulative threshold. The next picture is the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for the same data, again averaged over the replicate runs. Note ...
