TL;DR: In this article, the authors used preclinical data collected up to 17 months before diagnosis from 28 triple-negative cases and 28 matched controls from the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI) to discover and initially validate novel early detection biomarkers for triple negative breast cancer using preclinical samples.

TL;DR: Two in vitro tests were applied to 54 consecutive patients with severe aplastic anemia who were treated in Seattle with antithymocyte globulin to determine whether removing various subpopulations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells would increase the number of detectable BFU-E.

TL;DR: Semiparametric, multiplicative-form regression models are specified for marginal single and double failure hazard rates for the regression analysis of multivariate failure time data and novel estimators for pairwise bivariate survival functions and pairwise dependency functions are proposed.

TL;DR: The public health importance of nutritional epidemiology research is discussed, along with methodological challenges to obtaining reliable information on dietary approaches to chronic disease prevention, and Statisticians have the opportunity to contribute greatly to worldwide public health through the development of statistical methods to address these nutritional Epidemiology research challenges.

TL;DR: The data suggest that a single blood pressure measurement is not sufficient for predicting risk; the accumulated value or average over a period of time should be considered for this purpose.
