Abstract
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is associated with a multitude of lesions ranging from isolated ventricular septal defect to hypoplastic left ventricle or severe subaortic stenosis (SAS). Left ventricular outflow obstruction such as SAS continues to be an important factor for deciding the surgical proc...

Abstract
The trained group scheduled fewer restorations for replacement (6.00±3.01 and 9.71±3.15; p=0.034), in a shorter time (27.86±3.45 mins and 36.71±3.74 mins; p=0.003) and showed greater agreement with the study's gold standard for restoration replacement (0.85±0.27 and 0.79±0.06; p=0.002). Conclu...

Abstract
Because it is unusual to find sufficient evidence from RCTs to answer all key questions concerning benefit or the balance of benefits and harms, comparative effectiveness reviewers should routinely assess the appropriateness of inclusion of observational studies for questions of benefit. Furthermore...

Abstract
We present a model of plasticity induction for reinforcement learning in a population of leaky integrate and fire neurons which is based on a cascade of synaptic memory traces. Each synaptic cascade correlates presynaptic input first with postsynaptic events, next with the behavioral decisions and f...

Abstract
Because applicability depends on the specific questions and needs of the users, it is difficult to devise a valid uniform scale for rating the overall applicability of individual studies or body of evidence. We recommend consulting stakeholders to identify the factors most relevant to applicability...

Abstract
We rated 97 new drugs or new indications in our French edition la revue Prescrire, only 4 of which provided a therapeutic advantage. However, 19 others (1 in 5) were approved despite having more harms than benefits. More paediatric products were released in 2010 than in previous years, but few of th...

Chronic non-terminal diseases, including postmenopausal osteoporosis, are associated with poor treatment compliance and persistence. The longer a patient with osteoporosis complies and persists with treatment, the lower the risk of fracture. Retrospective studies with emphasis on real-world data have...
