Statin adherence and risk of accidents: a cautionary tale.
BACKGROUND Bias in studies of preventive medications can occur when healthier patients are more likely to initiate and adhere to therapy than less healthy patients. We sought evidence of this bias by examining associations between statin exposure and various outcomes that should not be causally affected by statin exposure, such as workplace and motor vehicle accidents. METHODS AND RESULTS We ...
متن کاملPerformance characteristics of three automated immunoassays for thyroid hormones
Background: Since the introduction of the first radioimmunoassay, several improvements have been made in the design of immunoassays such as method of antibody production, labeling, automation and detection technology. We performed an analytical evaluation of the new electrochemiluminescent immunoassay (ECLIA) for serum TSH, FT4 and T3 in the Elecsys 2010 immunoassay system and compared the resu...
متن کاملPseudothrombocytopenia--a cautionary tale.
Multichannel electronic cell counters are now in widespread use in haematology laboratories. Platelet counts are given routinely by many instruments and low platelet counts generate much further investigation. A falsely low platelet count may expose the patient to unnecessary and expensive investigation and treatment, and we report two illustrative cases. The platelet counts were performed on b...
متن کاملSoliloquy: a Cautionary Tale
The Soliloquy primitive, first proposed by the third author in 2007, is based on cyclic lattices. It has very good efficiency properties, both in terms of public key size and the speed of encryption and decryption. There are straightforward techniques for turning Soliloquy into a key exchange or other public-key protocols. Despite these properties, we abandoned research on Soliloquy after devel...
متن کاملTwitter911: A Cautionary Tale
Researchers have argued that social media, and in particular, Twitter, can be searched to improve “situational awareness” in emergency situations; that is, to provide objective, actionable, real-time information to first-responders. Prior studies have examined cases of very rare, catastrophic emergencies that took place over many days, such as the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. We asked instead ...
