The asymptotic eigensolutions allow an accurate sensitivity analysis of the material spectrum under variation of the key physical parameters, including the cell aspect ratio, the ligament slenderness and the spatial ring density.
Through several numerical examples, the developed DSA method is verified to yield very accurate sensitivity, requiring only 0.15% of CPU cost for finite difference sensitivity.
The applied number of preamplification cycles should be sufficient to produce at least five (accurate sensitivity), but preferably 35 (accurate precision), molecules per aliquot used in downstream qPCR.
Since the reconstructed trees using FastME are more accurate, the sensitivity of the top four methods at high levels of specificity are even higher compared to the sensitivity attained when NJ was used.
The 4-variable and 6-variable MDRD formulae were less accurate, with sensitivities of 47% and 29%, respectively (see Figure 1 andTable 3).
It is safe, fast, and accurate, with a sensitivity of 90 95 and a specificity of 70 90 %.
Burnside et al. [17] in their systematic review of pooled data from six articles and 936 patients suggest that emergency physician-performed ultrasonography for the diagnosis and exclusion of deep venous thrombosis compared to Radiology-performed ultrasonography imaging may be accurate with overall sensitivity of 95%95%5% CI = 87 99%) and overall specificity of 96%95%5% CI = 87 99%).
7– 10 However, in 1986, Perry and colleagues 11 analyzed almost 300 FNBs from melanoma patients and found the procedure to be accurate, with a sensitivity of 86.5% and a specificity of 96.1%.
However, their classification of bipolar subjects was more accurate with a sensitivity of 83% perhaps due to active psychotic symptoms present in almost a third of the patients with bipolar disorder, while the present study only included bipolar patients in an euthymic state without any psychotic symptoms.
In addition, the use of ultrasonography to assess the above-mentioned criteria is restricted by its own limitations of being operator dependent and not accurate or sensitive enough; the sensitivity of ultrasonographic diagnosis for multifocality and lymph node metastasis in the lateral compartment are 52.9% and 38.3%, respectively [ 18].
