This paper presents a statistical method for testing whether a male mouse is a recessive lethal-carrier. The analysis is based on a back-cross experiment in which the male mouse is mated with some of his daughters. The numbers of total implantations and intrauterine deaths in each litter are recorded. It is assumed that, conditional on the number of total implantations, the number of intrauterine deaths follows a binomial distribution. Using computer-simulated experimentation it is shown that the proposed statistical method, which is sensitive to the pattern of intrauterine death rates, is more powerful than a test based only on the total number of implant deaths. The proposed test requires relatively simple calculations and can be used for a wide range of values of total implantations and background implant mortality rates. For computer-simulated experiments, there was no practical difference between the empirical error rate and the nominal error rate. 相似文献

- •An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to detect specific human immunoglobulin G and M antibodies to sandfly fever Sicilian (SFS) virus. Acute and early convalescent serum pairs with ⩾ 7 days between the 2 specimens were available from 20 patients and all showed significant optical density (OD) increase and significant titre rise (⩾ 4-fold) by IgG ELISA. However, negative or borderline-positive sera were found as late as 11 days after onset of symptoms when tested by IgG ELISA.
- •Specific IgM antibodies were detected during the first week of symptoms, and maximum OD values were obtained during the first 4 weeks after onset of disease. The IgM OD values declined over the following 3–9 months. All sera collected later than 14 months post-onset were negative by IgM ELISA.
- •The combination of early antibody response and the need to test only one serum specimen gives IgM ELISA an advantage over IgG ELISA in patient diagnosis.
- •The IgG ELISA was also evaluated as a seroepidemiological tool and compared to a plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT) using sera from a normal Cypriot population. Of 183 sera tested, 34 (19%) were positive in plaque reduction neutralization tests (PRNT) and 113 (62%) by IgG ELISA. A number of PRNT-negative sera were strongly positive by IgG ELISA and also by indirect immunofluorescence test, which may suggest the presence of a virus related to SFS in Cyprus which has not yet been isolated.

Introduction
The latest European Society of Cardiology Guidelines recommend consideration of a wearable cardioverter-defibrillator (WCD) for patients with a poor left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who are at risk of sudden arrhythmic death but are not eligible for an implantable defibrillator. For these patients a WCD can be an alternative to long-term hospitalisation.Purpose
To evaluate the use of WCD therapy in these patient groups in two Dutch centres.Methods
All consecutive patients treated with the WCD between 2009 and 2016 were included from two centres in the Netherlands. Data on events and compliance were collected retrospectively through home monitoring systems and adjudicated by the investigators.Results
A total of 79 patients were treated with a WCD. Common indications were newly diagnosed cardiomyopathy without optimal medical treatment in 46 patients (58.2%) and bridge to implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implant in 33 patients (41.8%). Bridge to implant indications consisted of contraindications for immediate implantation such as infections (e.?g. previous device-related infections) and radiotherapy. Compliance was over 97% per day (median 23.3?h, 22.6–23.7), during a median of 79 days (50.0–109.8.0). Two patients (2.6%) received an appropriate shock (annual rate 13.6%), there was 1 (1.3%) inappropriate shock (annual rate 6.7%). In 24 patients (52.2%) without optimal medical treatment, the LVEF was sufficiently improved and ICD implant was avoided. Eight (10.1%) patients did not receive an ICD. In 45 patients an ICD was implanted (57.0%).Conclusion
WCD therapy provides a safe and effective treatment in outpatient setting for patients at high risk for sudden cardiac death and reduces the number of ICDs implanted.6.

The total number of non-federal* physicians in California rose from 23,065 in mid-1959 to 26,271 in January, 1962, an 11.3 per cent increase. The proportion of physicians in private active practice remained almost constant during this period.A significant rise, both in number and proportionally, took place in the full-time specialty category, offset by losses in the general practice-part-time specialty group. While specialists increased by over 30 per cent, general practitioners, who made up 31.7 per cent of all non-federal physicians in 1959, were only 24.7 per cent of the total in early 1962. 相似文献
