INTRODUCTION BMA Cymru Wales is pleased to provide a re Cancer screening in women. The British Medical Association represents doctors from all branches of medicine all over the UK total membership of almost 150,000 including more than 3,000 members overseas and over 19,000 medical student members. The BMA is the largest voluntary professional association of doctors in the UK, wh home and abroad...

BACKGROUND Early assessment of response to chemotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia may be performed by examining bone marrow aspirate (BMA) or biopsy (BMB); a hypocellular bone marrow sample indicates adequate anti-leukemic activity. We sought to evaluate the quantitative and qualitative assessment of BMA performed on day 14 (D14) of chemotherapy, to verify the inter-observer agreement, to compa...

Ensembles of forecasts are typically employed to account for the forecast uncertainties inherent in predictions of future weather states. However, biases and dispersion errors often present in forecast ensembles require statistical post-processing. Univariate post-processing models such as Bayesian model averaging (BMA) have been successfully applied for various weather quantities. Nonetheless,...

Restriction of κand λ-chain expression on CD19/CD5 double-positive bone marrow and peripheral blood lymphoid cells discriminates between malignant lymphoma and reactive lymphoid cells. Although this discrimination is unproblematic for high light-chain expression, difficulties arise for low-level expression or when a few malignant cells are dispersed in a majority of normal or reactive lymphocyt...

No studies have examined the transplantation of a bone marrow aspirate (BMA) containing mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) combined with human parathyroid hormone 1-34 (hPTH1-34) administration. Therefore, we evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of autologous BMA transplantation combined with hPHT1-34 administration in a bone necrosis model. The metatarsal bones of rabbits were necrotized using li...

Stand growth-and-yield models include whole-stand models, individual-tree models, and diameter distribution models. Based on the growth data of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata [Lamb.] Hook.) in Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province, in southern China, Bayesian model averaging (BMA) was used to forecast stand basal areas by combining these three types of models into a single predictive model. BMA ...

In developing an architecture for wireless sensor networks (WSNs) that is extensible to hundreds of thousands of heterogeneous nodes, fundamental advances in energy efficient communication protocols must occur. In this paper, we first propose an energy-efficient and robust intra-cluster communication bit-map assisted (BMA) MAC protocol for large-scale cluster-based WSNs and then derive energy m...

Aim: This study aims to determine the gender differences in hip joint functional anthropometric measurement values Turkish adults.Materials and Methods: Digital pelvis anterior-posterior radiographs of 300 randomly selected patients were analyzed. In these radiographs, reference lines drawn femoral neck-shaft angle (NSA), rotation center (HRC), abductor moment arm (AMA), body weight (BMA) calcu...

Several variants of Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) are described and evaluated on a model library of heterogeneous classifiers, and compared to other classifier combination methods. In particular, embedded cross-validation is investigated as a technique for reducing overfitting in BMA.
