Using risk-based sampling to enrich cohorts for endpoints, genes, and exposures.
Targeting the first-degree relatives of people with a particular complex disease can offer a powerful approach to building a risk-based cohort for prospective studies of etiologic factors. Such a cohort provides both a sizable increase in the rate of accrual of newly incident cases, enriching for risk factors that are known or even unknown, and a high level of motivation among participants. A n...
متن کاملInvesting in prospective cohorts for etiologic study of occupational exposures.
Prospective cohorts have played a major role in understanding the contribution of diet, physical activity, medical conditions, and genes to the development of many diseases, but have not been widely used for occupational exposures. Studies in agriculture are an exception. We draw upon our experience using this design to study agricultural workers to identify conditions that might foster use of ...
متن کاملUsing i * Models to Enrich User Stories
In agile methods the user stories are widely used to describe requirements. However, the user stories are an artifact too narrow to represent and detail the requirements. Issues like software context and dependencies between stories are also limited with the use of only this artifact. The lack of documentation in agile development environment is identified as one of the main challenges of the m...
متن کاملRisk-based indicators of Canadians’ exposures to environmental carcinogens
BACKGROUND Tools for estimating population exposures to environmental carcinogens are required to support evidence-based policies to reduce chronic exposures and associated cancers. Our objective was to develop indicators of population exposure to selected environmental carcinogens that can be easily updated over time, and allow comparisons and prioritization between different carcinogens and e...
متن کاملDiscovery of the breast cancer gene BASE using a molecular approach to enrich for genes encoding membrane and secreted proteins.
To identify unknown membrane proteins that could be used as targets for breast and prostate cancer immunotherapies and secreted proteins to be used as diagnostic markers, a cDNA library was generated from membrane-associated polyribosomal RNA derived from four breast cancer cell lines, one normal breast cell line, and a prostate cancer cell line. The membrane-associated polyribosomal cDNA libra...
