The Mayo Clinic experience.
TLDR
The experience of these art forms within the Neurology Book and Film Club at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA is described, where each participant buys or loans the book.Abstract:
Neurological illness brings pathos and shock but also an element of humanism. Thus, neurological disorders and their vicissitudes—in particular, the more disabling afflictions—speak to the imagination of book and screen writers. We wish to describe our experience of these art forms within the Neurology Book and Film Club at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA.
Our ‘club’ was initiated in 2010 by neurology residents and is supported and attended by residents, fellows and consultant staff. We hold a monthly event to discuss a book or movie with a neurological theme, suggested and voted upon by attendees (figure 1). Currently, each participant buys or loans the book. The event rotates between residents’ and consultants’ homes. The experience of cinema requires optimal display of sight and sound, and …read more

TL;DR: The IKMG redefines MGRS as a clonal proliferative disorder that produces a nephrotoxic monoclonal immunoglobulin and does not meet previously defined haematological criteria for treatment of a specific malignancy.

TL;DR: This review comprehensively analyzes the recent literature on how and why viral pathogenesis is altered in the obese host along with the impact of the altered host and pathogenic state on viral evolutionary dynamics in multiple models.

Emerging molecular biomarkers--blood-based strategies to detect and monitor cancer.
TL;DR: There is an urgent need for blood-based, noninvasive molecular tests to assist in the detection and diagnosis of cancers in a cost-effective manner at an early stage, when curative interventions are still possible.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).

Regression Models and Life-Tables
TL;DR: The analysis of censored failure times is considered in this paper, where the hazard function is taken to be a function of the explanatory variables and unknown regression coefficients multiplied by an arbitrary and unknown function of time.

TL;DR: A uniform system of classification and nomenclature of the acute leukaemias should permit more accurate recording of the distribution of cases entered into clinical trials, and could provide a reference standard when newly developed cell‐surface markers believed to characterize specific cell types are applied to cases of acuteLeukaemia.

TL;DR: TSH and the prevalence of antithyroid antibodies are greater in females, increase with age, and are more in whites and Mexican Americans than in blacks, which needs more research to relate these findings to clinical status.
