Objective: Cost-effectiveness analysis was carried out to develop screening strategy for Chlamydia trachomatis to assess the possibility of preventing pelvic inflammatory disease and its sequelae.
As more and more receptor heteromers are identified, the challenge is now to develop screening assays to select heteromer-specific drugs.
Additional work is needed to develop screening or assessment tools to identify ED drivers who may be at especially high risk of crash and to develop targeted interventions for these higher-risk groups.
Previous attempts to develop screening tests for ovarian cancer haven't worked because they are not sensitive enough to detect the cancer in large groups of women, Landen said.
It also can be applied to develop screening systems for therapeutic antibodies and/or compounds.
