Journal ArticleDOI
Overdiagnosis in organised mammography screening in Denmark. A comparative study
TL;DR: One in four breast cancers diagnosed in the screened age group in the Danish screening programme is overdiagnosed, which is lower than that for comparable countries, likely because of lower uptake, lower recall rates and lower detection rates of carcinoma in situ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laser and photoepilation for unwanted hair growth
TL;DR: There appeared to be a short-term effect of approximately 50% hair reduction with alexandrite and diode lasers up to six months after treatment, whereas little evidence was obtained for an effect of intense pulsed light, neodymium:YAG or ruby lasers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intravenous alpha‐1 antitrypsin augmentation therapy for treating patients with alpha‐1 antitrypsin deficiency and lung disease
TL;DR: It is the opinion that augmentation therapy with alpha-1 antitrypsin cannot be recommended and several secondary outcomes were unreported in the largest and most recent trial whose authors had numerous financial conflicts of interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is the difference between dependence and withdrawal reactions? A comparison of benzodiazepines and selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors.
TL;DR: Withdrawal reactions to selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors appear to be similar to those for benzodiazepines; referring to these reactions as part of a dependence syndrome in the case of Benzodiazepine dependence does not seem rational.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beware of Surrogate Outcome Measures
TL;DR: The justification for their use is reviewed, and it is concluded that reliance on surrogates may be harmful and results obtained with surrogates should be regarded as preliminary.
