In view of the possibility that the uric acid of the blood might be partly "bound" to protein and partly "free" (Benedict and Behre, 1931) and that this might provide some explanation for the phases of gout, it was decided to investigate various methods of ultrafiltration of the plasma uric acid in gouty and normal individuals. Lambie (1940) reported a case of leukaemia with subsequent developm...

Evidence-based decision making often relies on meta-analyzing multiple studies, which enables more precise estimation and investigation of generalizability. Integrative analysis heterogeneous studies is, however, highly challenging in the ultra high dimensional setting. The challenge is even pronounced when individual level data cannot be shared across known as DataSHIELD constraint (Wolfson et...

For many diseases, logistic and other constraints often render large incidence studies difficult, if not impossible, to carry out. This becomes a drawback, particularly when a new incidence study is needed each time the disease incidence rate is investigated in a different population. However, by carrying out a prevalent cohort study with follow-up it is possible to estimate the incidence rate ...

On the face of it, the question of whether life extending interventions that oppose the maladaptive consequences of aging should be provided to those in need, would appear to be easily answered in the affirmative. However, as Jay Wolfson discusses in his essay, there may be occasions when the decision not to sustain life is preferred. This disconnect between the availability of life extending t...

Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a potential cause of acute syndrome and sudden cardiac death (SCD). Coronary fibromuscolar dysplasia (FMD) has been correlated to SCAD occurrence.The prevalence FMD among SCD victims are unclear. Myocardial infarction with non-obstructed arteries (MINOCA) could represent SCD. Since clinically manifest as myocardial infarction,...
