BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS OF ROUTINELY USING WHOLE-GENOMIC SEQUENCING OF SIX MULTIDRUG-RESISTANT BACTERIAL PATHOGENS IN QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA

Budget impact analysis of routinely using whole-genomic sequencing of six multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens in Queensland, Australia

Objective To predict the cost and health effects of routine use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of bacterial pathogens compared with those of standard of care.Design Budget impact analysis was performed over the following 5 years.Data were primarily from sequencing results on clusters of multidrug-resistant organisms across 27 hospitals.Model inpu

Individual differences in dual-target RSVP task performance relate to entrainment but not to individual alpha frequency.

The attentional blink (AB) paradigm is widely used to study visual temporal attention.An important feature of the standard AB paradigm is repetitive visual stimulation, more precisely the rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) of numerous distracters interspersed with two targets.The RSVP stream is likely to result in entrainment of visual cortex,

Are ADC values of readout-segmented echo-planar diffusion-weighted imaging (RESOLVE) correlated with pathological prognostic factors in rectal adenocarcinoma?

Abstract Background Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values as imaging biomarkers of rectal cancer are currently a hot research spot.The use of ADC values for preoperative judgment of pathological features in rectal cancer has been generally accepted.The image quality evaluation of conventional diffusion is
