Future studies should examine molecular characteristics of diagnosed tumours, including COX-2 expression and methylation status among regular NSAID users, and the potential interaction of NSAID use history with patient characteristics, such as genetic polymorphisms.
Characteristics of the diagnosed breast cancers are summarized in Table 2. Half the tumors diagnosed were invasive, and half were DCIS.
To describe the varieties and ultrasound characteristics of prenatally diagnosed fetal abdominal tumors and to scrutinize the accuracy of prenatal diagnosis as well as the postnatal outcome and therapy of affected pregnancies.
We used this combined screening-detected group to compare baseline characteristics against clinically diagnosed cases and in modeling treatment selection for clinically localized cancers.
To our knowledge very little has been published regarding biological characteristics of synchronously diagnosed multiple unilateral and bilateral breast cancer, with the definition of synchronous being no time elapsed between surgical excision of the tumors, i.e. without potential interference of adjuvant medical treatment.
At baseline, participants reported their demographic characteristics and physician-diagnosed medical conditions.
Table 1 shows the relationship between cohort characteristics and doctor-diagnosed allergic rhinitis by 5 years of age.
We used electronic databases to describe the incidence, microbiology, and patient characteristics of clinically-diagnosed skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) among members of a Northern California integrated health plan.
Other studies link allostatic load parameters to morbidity and mortality, suggesting that allostatic load may mediate relationships between SES and mortality, after accounting for demographic characteristics and physician-diagnosed illness (Seeman et al. 2004).
Characteristics of patients including diagnosed psychiatric disorders, psychoactive treatments, and reasons for admissions are listed in Table 1.
