Purpose To assess whether subjective breast density categorization remains the most useful way to categorize mammographic breast density and whether variations exist across geographic regions with differing national legislation. Methods Breast r... Read More about Variability of Breast Density Classification Between US and UK Radiologists.

Update on the pathophysiology of cluster headache: imaging and neuropeptide studies (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). Update on the pathophysiology of cluster headache: imaging and neuropeptide studies. Journal of Pain Research, 269 -281. https://doi.org/10.2147/jpr.s175312

Objective: Cluster headache (CH) is the most severe primary headache condition. Its pathophysiology is multifaceted and incompletely understood. This review brings together the latest neuroimaging and neuropeptide evidence on the pathophysiology of C...

PROBAST: A Tool to Assess the Risk of Bias and Applicability of Prediction Model Studies (2019)
Journal Article
(2019). PROBAST: A Tool to Assess the Risk of Bias and Applicability of Prediction Model Studies. Annals of Internal Medicine, 170(1), 51 - 58. https://doi.org/10.7326/M18-1376

Clinical prediction models combine multiple predictors to estimate risk for the presence of a particular condition (diagnostic models) or the occurrence of a certain event in the future (prognostic models). PROBAST (Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASse... Read More about PROBAST: A Tool to Assess the Risk of Bias and Applicability of Prediction Model Studies.

Transition Between Different Renal Replacement Modalities: Gaps in Knowledge and Care-The Integrated Research Initiative (2019)
Journal Article
Chan, C., Combes, G., Davies, S., Finkelstein, F., Firanek, C., Gomez, R., …Van Biesen, W. (2019). Transition Between Different Renal Replacement Modalities: Gaps in Knowledge and Care-The Integrated Research Initiative. Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 39(1), 4 -12. https://doi.org/10.3747/pdi.2017.00242

Patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have different options to replace the function of their failing kidneys. The "integrated care" model considers treatment pathways rather than individual renal replacement therapy (RRT) techniques. In such...
