TL;DR: These unique data confirm that when left untreated, severe aortic stenosis is associated with poor long-term survival and also suggest poor survival rates in patients with moderate AS.

TL;DR: It is recommended that WS is measured based on net abstraction as well, in addition to currently only measuring WS based on gross abstraction, because it does incorporate EFR and Temporal and spatial disaggregation is indeed defined as a goal in more advanced monitoring levels.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of a sample of unemployed people is reported in which survey interview data were used to examine the differential effects of different forms of deprivation, such as egoistic and fraternalistic relative deprivation, on the number of stress symptoms reported by the respondents and their orientation to social protest.
Abstract: A study of a sample of unemployed people is reported in which survey interview data were used to examine the differential effects of different forms of deprivation. Two outcome variables were operationalized: the number of stress symptoms reported by the respondents and the respondents' orientation to social protest. Two different measures of egoistic deprivation (the perceived gap between personal expectations and attainments) and two different measures of fraternalistic deprivation (the perceived gap between ingroup and outgroup attainment) were also obtained. It was hypothesized that the measures of egoistic relative deprivation would predict the number of stress symptoms reported better than would measures of fraternalistic relative deprivation. Conversely, fraternalistic relative deprivation measures were hypothesized to predict protest orientation better than would the egoistic relative deprivation measures. Multiple regression analyses bore out these hypotheses. The results underline the importance...

TL;DR: Estimates of CRC and EC cumulative risks for MLH1 and MSH2 mutation carriers are the most precise currently available.
Abstract: We studied 17,576 members of 166 MLH1 and 224 MSH2 mutation-carrying families from the Colon Cancer Family Registry. Average cumulative risks of colorectal cancer (CRC), endometrial cancer (EC), and other cancers for carriers were estimated using modified segregation analysis conditioned on ascertainment criteria. Heterogeneity in risks was investigated using a polygenic risk modifier. Average CRC cumulative risks at the age of 70 years (95% confidence intervals) for MLH1 and MSH2 mutation carriers, respectively, were estimated to be 34% (25%-50%) and 47% (36%-60%) for male carriers and 36% (25%-51%) and 37% (27%-50%) for female carriers. Corresponding EC risks were 18% (9.1%-34%) and 30% (18%-45%). A high level of CRC risk heterogeneity was observed (P < 0.001), with cumulative risks at the age of 70 years estimated to follow U-shaped distributions. For example, 17% of male MSH2 mutation carriers have estimated lifetime risks of 0%-10% and 18% have risks of 90%-100%. Therefore, average risks are similar for the two genes but there is so much individual variation about the average that large proportions of carriers have either very low or very high lifetime cancer risks. Our estimates of CRC and EC cumulative risks for MLH1 and MSH2 mutation carriers are the most precise currently available.

TL;DR: Findings show that the concern that student academic performance in the tertiary hospital would be better than that of students in the regional hospital and community settings is not justified, and challenges the orthodoxy of a tertiaryhospital education being the gold standard for undergraduate medical students.
Abstract: Objectives To determine whether moving clinical medical education out of the tertiary hospital into a community setting compromises academic standards. Design Cohort study. Setting Flinders University four year graduate entry medical course. In their third year, students are able to choose to study at the tertiary teaching hospital in Adelaide, in rural general practices, or at Royal Darwin Hospital, a regional secondary referral hospital. Participants All 371 medical students who did their year 3 study from 1998-2002. Main outcome measures Mean student examination score (%) at the end of year 3. Results The unadjusted mean year 3 scores at each location differed significantly (P Conclusions These findings show that the concern that student academic performance in the tertiary hospital would be better than that of students in the regional hospital and community settings is not justified. This challenges the orthodoxy of a tertiary hospital education being the gold standard for undergraduate medical students.
