This analysis provides definitive support for a handful of prognostic models but also confirms that these require improvement to be of clinical value. This work addresses outstanding controversies in the ovarian cancer literature and provides a reproducible framework for meta-analytic evaluation of gene signatures.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Following mechanical recanalization of an acute intracranial vessel occlusion, hyperattenuated lesions are frequently found on postinterventional cranial CT. They represent either blood or-more frequently-enhancement of contrast agent. Here, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of these hyperattenuated intracerebral lesions.

The stronger inverse association of asthma with bacterial diversity in mattress dust as compared to nasal samples suggests microbial involvement beyond mere colonization of the upper airways. Whether inhalation of metabolites of environmental bacteria contributes to this phenomenon should be the focus of future research.
