Once upstream and downstream signaling pathways are understood, these findings will be practical for prognosis and prevention of deterioration of incipient lesion.
The practical value for prognosis of the fractal features should be studied in many more tumor types, such as breast, gastrointestinal and renal cancer, as well as gliomas, sarcomas and lymphomas.
The last step, differentiating the most common causes of ICU-acquired generalized weakness (myopathy, neuropathy, or a combination of the two), is practical because their prognoses differ considerably.
Although our findings indicate that CD66c is unlikely to gain a practical importance as a prognosis predictor, there are several reasons to focus on it in diagnostic and MRD studies.
Many genes, such as annexin A2, Sam68 and HDAC10[ 5– 7], have been reported to be potentially useful prognostic markers in cervical cancer, but there is still an urgent need for additional research to identify novel biomarkers to supply practical information for patient prognosis and suitable therapeutic options.
Such local prognoses would have a practical purpose as well.
Second, from a pragmatic perspective, the importance ranking for cancer prognosis factors and the patient segments require practical checking by medical specialists.
In addition, by stratifying patients as to probability of disease and prognosis, they provide a more practical management strategy than a response of normal or abnormal.
Assessment of the integrity of the choriocapillaris layer may prove to be an easier and more practical clinical tool for predicting the visual prognosis of patients with VKH during the convalescent stage.
We also demonstrate that such a model can provide a practical and effective staging system for patient prognosis.
