Chemopreventive strategies using aspirin, statins or proton-pump inhibitors require a large number of patients be treated to prevent a single cancer, making it difficult to ascertain risk-benefit ratio and cost-effectiveness [ 3, 5, 6].
Another Canadian study reported that more than 1,000 patients would need to use the strips regularly to prevent a single case of kidney failure, for example, and about 500 would need to be treated to prevent a single stroke, amputation or case of blindness.
The European research suggests that roughly 50 cases of prostate cancer found through a screening program would need to be treated to prevent a single prostate cancer death.
Retrospective study: prevalence or incidence rates were not reported as the study was limited to patients treated at a single institution.
Yuvraj on strike now and he's treated to more short stuff, knocking a single down on the leg side.
"She's one of those characters, like Jesus Christ, Dracula and Batman, that everyone has his own ideas about who should play them," Mr. Fincher said, treating himself to a single martini and a meal that consisted mostly of salad.
To assess the extent of PrPTSE degradation in BH of RML strain-infected mice by lichen extracts, we subjected dilution series of vehicle and L. pulmonaria-treated BH to a single round of amplification by PMCA (Figure 3A).
The process takes a while--up to a full hour to treat a single square inch of metal--but it's said to have key advantages over chemical coatings like Teflon, which can wear away.
Completed two years ago, it had yet to treat a single patient due to financial uncertainty.
Standard two dimensional (2D) culture systems routinely produce cell densities of ~2x10 cells/cm such that 5000-10000 cm of culture surface would be needed to generate enough cells to treat a single myocardial infarction [ 109] (see Table 3 for costings).
