External validation of a prognostic score predicting overall survival for patients with brain metastases based on extracranial factors.

TL;DR: An external validation of the extracranial prognostic score developed by Nieder et al. could effectively define the patients with very short survival and a new combination with DS-GPA-score achieved an even better discrimination.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emergence and Evidence: A Close Look at Bunge’s Philosophy of Medicine

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the causal hypothesis testing of patients is inherently stochastic and affords a probabilistic account of both confirmation and evidence, and that RCTs are neither necessary nor sufficient to establish the truth of a causal claim; testing of causal hypotheses requires taking into account background knowledge and the context within which an intervention is applied.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contamination by field late-M, L and T dwarfs in deep surveys

TL;DR: In this article, the back and foreground contamination by field dwarfs of very late spectral types (intermediate and late M, L and T) in deep photometric surveys for substellar objects in young clusters and for high-redshift quasars are calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Evolutionary and Mechanistic Perspective on Dietary Carbohydrate Restriction in Cancer Prevention

TL;DR: The confluence of basic cell biochemistry, epidemiological and anthropologic evidence points to high dietary carbohydrate and the associated disruption of the glucose-insulin axis as causes of the current increase in metabolic disorders, metabolic syndrome, hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
