OBJECTIVE Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a noninvasive technique that allows monitoring of regional hemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) values and might have a role in the diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease. We assessed the reproducibility and inter-subject variability of rSO2 values and rSO2 limb-to-arm ratios (LARs) in lower extremities of healthy subjects. METHODS The rSO2 valu...

Aim Little is known about the pathophysiology of low anterior resection syndrome (LARS), and evidence concerning management patients diagnosed with this condition scarce. The aim LARS Expert Advisory Panel was to develop practical guidance for healthcare professionals dealing LARS. Method ‘Management guidelines syndrome’ (MANUEL) project promoted by a team eight experts in assessment After face...

Most of this article concerns the uses of LARS and the two related methods in the age-old, " somewhat notorious, " problem of " [a]utomatic model-building algorithms.. . " for linear regression. In the following, I will confine my comments to this notorious problem and to the use of LARS and its relatives to solve it. 1. The implicit assumption. Suppose the response is y, and we collect the m p...
