Prognosis (Greek: πρόγνωσις "fore-knowing, foreseeing"; pl.: prognoses) is a medical term for predicting the likelihood or expected development of a disease, including whether the signs and symptoms will improve or worsen (and how quickly) or remain stable over time; expectations of quality of life, such as the ability to carry out daily activities; the potential for complications and ...
Pathophysiology (or physiopathology) is a branch of study, at the intersection of pathology and physiology, concerning disordered physiological processes that cause, result from, or are otherwise associated with a disease or injury.
Lead time bias occurs if testing increases the perceived survival time without affecting the course of the disease. Lead time bias happens when survival time appears longer because diagnosis was done earlier (for instance, by screening), irrespective of whether the patient lived longer.
Low does: eye and skin irritant High dose: rapid breathing, bluish discoloring of the skin, and fluid in the lungs Hydrogen cyanide Gas: colorless, or pale blue Odor: bitter almonds < 1 minute Hyperventilation, loss of consciousness, and convulsions Choking Agents Chlorine Gas: yellow-green Odor: bleach Seconds to minutes
Data-driven prognostics usually use pattern recognition and machine learning techniques to detect changes in system states. [3] The classical data-driven methods for nonlinear system prediction include the use of stochastic models such as the autoregressive (AR) model, the threshold AR model, the bilinear model, the projection pursuit, the multivariate adaptive regression splines, and the ...
Prognostic markers are biomarkers used to measure the progress of a disease in the patient sample. [1] Prognostic markers are useful to stratify the patients into groups, guiding towards precise medicine discovery. The widely used prognostic markers in cancers include stage, size, grade, node and metastasis. In addition to these common markers ...
A cheeky little slice of cake here, a cookie there, or a nibble of chocolate every once in a while isn't the worst thing in the world. But according to new research, the buck stops at sugary drinks.
Survival rate is a part of survival analysis.It is the proportion of people in a study or treatment group still alive at a given period of time after diagnosis. It is a method of describing prognosis in certain disease conditions, and can be used for the assessment of standards of therapy.
