Interim 18F-FDG PET/CT improves the prognostic value of S-IPI, R-IPI and NCCN-IPI in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma

The current study aimed to explore whether the efficiency of the standard International Prognostic Index (S-IPI), revised-IPI (R-IPI) and enhanced-IPI (NCCN-IPI) in evaluating the prognosis of patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) may be improved by interim 18F-FDG PET/CT. A total of 185 patients with newly diagnosed DLBCL were enrolled in the current study. All patients underwent...

Simplicity at the cost of predictive accuracy in diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma: a critical assessment of the R‐IPI, IPI, and NCCN‐IPI

The international prognostic index (IPI) and similar models form the cornerstone of clinical assessment in newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). While being simple and convenient to use, their inadequate use of the available clinical data is a major weakness. In this study, we compared performance of the International Prognostic Index (IPI) and its variations (R-IPI and NCCN-IP...

Alternative Axiomatic Characterizations of the Grey Shapley Value

The Shapley value, one of the most common solution concepts of cooperative game theory is defined and axiomatically characterized in different game-theoretic models. Certainly, the Shapley value can be used in interesting sharing cost/reward problems in the Operations Research area such as connection, routing, scheduling, production and inventory situations. In this paper, we focus on the Shapl...

Syntactic processing of the IPI PAN Corpus of Polish

The aim of this paper is to present recent and ongoing work on adorning the IPI PAN Corpus of Polish (Przepiórkowski 2004, 2006a) with partial syntactic annotation, with the ultimate aim of building a treebank of Polish. The work described here is a part of the project Automatic extraction of linguistic knowledge from a large corpus of Polish (a Ministry of Education and Science grant number 3T...
