Journal ArticleDOI
Do basic laboratory tests or clinical observations predict bleeding in thrombocytopenic oncology patients? A reevaluation of prophylactic platelet transfusions.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the major goal of transfusion support should be the aggressive therapeutic use of blood products rather than prophylactic use based on such weak clinical correlates and on the platelet count, which was not a correlate at all in multivariate analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Introduction to Bayesian methods I: measuring the strength of evidence.
TL;DR: The Bayes factor compares the relative support given to two hypotheses by the data, in contrast to the P-value, which is calculated with reference only to the null hypothesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial and temporal arrival patterns of Madagascar's vertebrate fauna explained by distance, ocean currents, and ancestor type
Karen E. Samonds,Laurie R. Godfrey,Jason R. Ali,Steven N. Goodman,Miguel Vences,Michael R. Sutherland,Mitchell T. Irwin,David W. Krause +7 more
TL;DR: Oligate rafters show a decrease in probability of successful transoceanic dispersal from the Paleocene onward, reaching the lowest levels after the mid-Miocene, consistent with a paleoceanographic model that predicts Early Cenozoic surface currents periodically conducive to rafting or swimming from Africa.
Journal Article
The Evidence Regarding the Drugs Used for Ventricular Rate Control
Jodi B Segal,Robert L. McNamara,Marlene R. Miller,Nina Kim,Steven N. Goodman,Neil R. Powe,Karen A. Robinson,David Yu,Eric B Bass +8 more
TL;DR: The calcium-channel blockers verapamil or diltiazem, or select beta-blockers are efficacious for heart rate control at rest and during exercise for patients with atrial fibrillation without a clinically important decrease in exercise tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative GSTP1 Methylation and the Detection of Prostate Adenocarcinoma in Sextant Biopsies
Susan Harden,Harriette Sanderson,Steven N. Goodman,Alan W. Partin,Patrick C. Walsh,Jonathan I. Epstein,David Sidransky +6 more
TL;DR: GSTP1 QMSP improved the sensitivity of histologic review of random needle biopsies for prostate cancer diagnosis and should determine whether detection of GSTP1 hypermethylation in a biopsy sample with normal histology indicates the need for an early repeat biopsy at the same site.
