Our team has long been involved in the detection of cause and effect relationships between presumed causative factors and cancer, in particular, concerning the relative role of inherited predisposition and environmental factors, the relative impact of intrinsic toxicity or carcinogenicity, and the role of host susceptibility and response (Cetta et al. 2007, 2009a).
The issue of authenticity of food products is extremely important, as well as diagnosis of flawed and damaged provisions, e.g., development of methodology of detection of the causes of food defects such as discoloration, aftertastes, and precipitates in drinks.
We then discuss alternative approaches to the detection of special causes for data without a natural order.
In the causal exposure model, therapeutic intervention would be based on detection of the causes of vascular disease, not the calculation of short-term risk.
Autopsy is considered the reference standard for postmortem evaluation regarding the detection of the causes of death and sustained (traumatic) injuries.
23 A recent Cochrane review reported high accuracy for MRI/MRA for detection of macrovascular causes of non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage as a first diagnostic modality.
Longer term follow-up data or repeated investigations in all patients could have provided additional information on detection of macrovascular causes after the initial diagnostic investigations.
Ultrasound will only be an acceptable alternative for CT if its diagnostic accuracy is comparable, i.e. if it can be reliably used for the detection of frequent causes of abdominal pain in unselected patients presenting at the ED.
This section describes the use of inter-sentential language patterns to detect causality between sentences, focusing on the detection of implicit cause-effect relations.
Develop a method to improve the detection of medicines causing dependence; develop a method to detect reports within spontaneous safety databases that might indicate substandard or counterfeit medicines.
An optimized Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) detector is used for detection of events caused by moving vehicles.
